  This is real deal stuff out in the country.  The beef brisket is the best I've had in Atlanta/surrounding areas/most anywhere outside of Texas.  Ribs are gigantic and incredibly tender.  I'm going to go back and try the pulled pork and chicken but if it's half as good this place is a must add to any BBQ lovers list.  
  
  The sides are outstanding, beans, coleslaw and...get this...fried potato salad.  Yeah, it's as awesome as it sounds.  One last item, if you are a fan of Brunswick Stew, DO NOT miss their stew, it's outstanding.

  One of the best barbeque restaurants I've ever had the pleasure of going to.  I normally only eat the pork variety, but their beef was absolutely delicious as well.  Very friendly and helpful with our little ones, too.

  My wife and I have been here a couple of times on our outings to the Charlie Eliot Wildlife Center just down the road.  Would give it another half star if I could.
  
  Great authentic Georgia BBQ with friendly service and a down home atmosphere.  Don't know what this building was before, but appears to be pretty old.  Quirky little setup with some big tables and some two tops.  You can order to-go food at the counter or sit down for table service.  Out back is an old shed that's been converted to the smoke house.
  
  Great pulled pork, almost perfect slaw, a very respectable Brunswick stew, and the tea is spot on.  Some other non traditional offerings include sliders, an Elvis themed dessert concoction, and something called "Redneck Brittle".  I was also informed that the "Redneck Brittle" can be eaten "with or without your teeth in".  True story.
  
  Can't wait for my next trip out this way to pick up some more tasty grub.  Business is usually pretty steady with some friendly locals.  My only complaint?  No cornbread.  .

  Kelly's review is dead on. I moved near by about a year ago and Where There's Smoke BBQ is now a regular. I have loved BBQ all my life and usually try it where ever I travel all over the country. This is definitely one of the best I've ever had. Don't forget their Briquet, it's awesome as well! I'm so lucky to live near by now.

  This place was recommended to me as I was in the area for a wedding this past weekend.  I'm shocked that I'm the first to review, so I'll try to paint a good picture for you.
  
  It's an authentic BBQ joint that is more likely to serve groups after a morning of hunting than out-of-towners such as me.  The menu has all the basics for BBQ and they are sure to cover their bases on the sauces (only one missing would be a white sauce).  
  
  I ordered the "pick two" try get my sampling of pulled pork and the ribs.  Pulled pork on its own is sauce-free so its up to you to smother in one of the several provided sauces - vinegar-based, tomato-based, or honey mustard-based.  The ribs on the other hand had a really tasty rub and were tender enough to pull apart - no knife required.
  
  Sides also cover the range from pasta salad and fries to fried potato salad and southern stew.
  
  There are simple tables inside, or you can stand at the counter outside depending on your taste.  Service is friendly and seems to be at least partially family run.

  Good food, good service, home style atmosphere especially on Thursday nite when the locals come in, eat and play their music.  Just a plain ole good time of music and fellowship.
