Spoon's Smokehouse BBQ Restaurant & Sports Bar

Went for dinner. The food was good but the portions are terrible. For the price they charge they should offer at least two sides. I feel they charge high prices for minimal. Service was not the best she seemed irritated.  Ordered a virgin strawberry daquiri was chaged the same as if Iit had alcohol. Wouldn't go back anytime soon.

I have been to this establishment twice. So here goes... My first experience was mediocre, but would have earned the restaurant 3 stars. During my first visit, I was bamboozled by a scoutmob deal that was misleading. I'm not sure if it was the fault of scoutmob or Spoon's. Nonetheless, I decided to try the place out for lunch, considering that I was very hungry. The restaurant was very cold. I had to keep my coat on the entire time. I will admit that I am picky about my BBQ. I grew up in Memphis, which has the best BBQ ever, so I would say that my standards are pretty high. However, I keep in mind that Georgia is not a place for great BBQ in general, so I'm pretty fair with my assessment of the BBQ restaurants here. Now to the food. The smoked BBQ wings were acceptable. The smoked flavor was good, but the sauce left much to be desired. The fries that came along with it were simply those frozen steak fries from the frozen aisle at the grocery store. The meal was fair. It was neither stellar or terrible.

Now on to my second visit. My significant other wanted to try the place out, since I had mentioned it a few days before gave and because it is close to were we live. This visit was totally awful! First, we called ahead to place the order. They were out of some of the side items that we wanted to order. Given the limited items, I changed my mind and ordered mac and cheese and had second thoughts and thought I'd just go with something basic like fries. The waitress asked for our credit/debit info over the phone, which I have NEVER experienced when ordering food over the phone that was a personal order for just two people. Now had it been something that was going to feed a large group and amounted to hundreds of dollars, I would have understood that. I objected, but my SO gave out the info (he was very hungry). For me, that would have been a cancellation. We proceed to pick up the order and when we arrive it is nowhere near being done. We wait....and wait...and wait in the cold restaurant. Keep in mind that the place is not at all busy. There were less than ten people in the building. They offered both of us a beverage, since we had to wait. We declined and continued to wait. Finally, the food is ready. I asked the waitress twice to make sure that they included fries instead of mac and cheese. She assured me twice and even put a bag full of ketchup in the bag. I tried to check it, but SO told me not to. We had been there so long, he was just ready to go. We arrive home and open our boxes and guess what....no fries at all. II cal back to let them know that my order was wrong. They treated me like I was lying about even placing an order in the first place. Wheew! This is getting to be a bit much. Finally, they remember me (I was there about 10 minutes ago). I go back to get the fries, which I have to wait for. To their credit the fries were hot. Now to the food, again, my wings, which were the same as the ones I ordered during my previous visit, were burnt, rubbery, and just plain nasty. Ewww. I ate one and could not take another bite. I didn't even attempt to try SO's ribs. How do you mess up wings? The restaurant earned 1 star based on this experience.

I decided to average the two visits and I give Spoon's 2 stars. I will never try this place ever again. The service is terrible. The food is not tasty. It is too cold inside the restaurant.  Please, don't waste your time.

Decided to give Spoon's a try because we live in the neighborhood and had a taste for some barbecue. Ordered the Brisket and Turkey sandwich combos and the smoked wings. The sides (Sweet potatoes, greens and fries) were passable, but nothing special. ALL of the meat was dry and flavorless and barely had any of this so-called 'famous Kansas City sauce'. It was just dry meat on equally dry bread! Thought I could get some much needed lubrication by dipping the brisket sandwich in the juice from the greens, but guess what...they were nearly bone dry too!! WTH?? How is that even possible? Horrible "barbecue"...horrible food and serving size overall...ridiculous prices. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY.
