Mac's Barbeque

This place is o.k.   I'm giving them some benefit of the doubt because its one of the few places to eat in a tiny town.

First, the day we went it was VERY small.  They had a whole dining room they weren't using, and instead had only about 8 tables inside a small room.  There was no room when we showed up, so we sat outside and ordered from the take-out window (table service was not an option outside).

The food came up kind of slow, and was good -- but nothing special.  The service as not overly friendly -- maybe a bit surly...

I wouldn't refuse to go back, but I'm not lining up to go back either.

This is no frills, southern style BBQ in a very casual establishment where the atmosphere fits the walkable vibe of downtown Warm Springs.  You eat at picnic tables with table cloths on a screened porch.  This isn't the distinct regional BBQ that you'd find in Memphis or Texas Hill Country.  Nobody is going to make a pilgrimage here in search of ribs or write a book.  It's just satisfactory pork BBQ (though they have some other meats) with sauce on the table and traditional side items like Brunswick Stew.  It's not life-altering.  It's more akin to something you might have at a family picnic.  But if you're in the area, it's a great option for getting lunch.

Just as good as I remembered from last year's visit (we pass through the area once a year on our way to Texas).  I had the sliced pork sandwich and unsweetened iced tea.  Good tea and the sliced pork is heaven in a bun.  Moist with a lovely smoke flavor.  I like the fact that the sandwich comes unsauced; the meat is so good it doesn't need anything on it though there is mild and medium sauces on the table.  The large slices of pork were literally hanging out the sides of the bun. Since potato salad was offered the day we were there, I had that as a side; it was very good with the sandwich.  Husband ordered the house-made potato chips which came out piping hot and were addictive.  Next year I will aim for the sliced pork plate so I can try the Brunswick stew.
