Georgian BBQ... If you're in Atlanta, pick me up some! - GoFuckYourself.com

There is a place about 50 miles outside of metropolitan Atlanta that is hands down the best place for pulled pork BBQ & brunswick stew. The place is called Fresh Air BBQ in Jackson, GA. My dad's been going there since he was a kid & has taken me numerous times... if you go to Atlanta for the show, I highly suggest you try this place out!

Sonny's BBQ is also very good. It's more of a chain style establishment, but the food is really pit cooked and their sweet sauce ROCKS! Here are their Georgia locations:

You can order their sauce from the site, too. By the bottle or by the half gallon!

Hi Tootie....

As a resident of Southern Atlanta let me tell you that Sonnys, while good BBQ, is not even in the same league as Fresh Air BBQ. I eat there from time to time when I am heading somewhere south of here....it is about 30 minutes from my house.

Steve....do you live in Ga? Did you once?

I lived in Georgia all my life until a couple of years ago. I've never heard of Fresh Air BBQ, but I'm from Northeast Georgia, not Southern Georgia. There weren't a whole lot of choices where I'm from.

I live in Arkansas now, and I hate the BBQ around here. The meat is okay, but there is no sweet sauce to be found anywhere, only vinegary stuff and alcohol based stuff, and I don't like either.

I also have a problem with the Chinese restaurants around here. I love Crab Rangoon, but all the Chinese restaurants around here have sugar in the filling and it sucks. I like the ones in Georgia with no sugar.

Oh yeah, and most restaurants around here have only UNsweetened tea. They say, "There's sugar on the table." Yuck! Everyone knows sugar doesn't mix well into cold iced tea and I don't want to inhale sugar granules through my straw. LOL

And I haven't found a single place that serves cole slaw on their hamburgers. A couple of places have slaw dogs, but the slaw is vinegar/sugar based and not mayo based and that's nasty.

Sonny's is horrible compared to Fresh Air.... too sweet/tangy.

Sweet... I've got fuckloads of family over in Covington, we'd pass through there every summer growing up and take home about 20 lbs. of Fresh Air. I just found out they ship next day air... bout time to place an order.

I know a road-side BBQ place on the way down to NC that I'm definitely stopping by on my way to the Outer Banks this summer. Can't wait! Southern Sweet Tea and Carolina style pork barbeque sandwhiches with a BIG side of beans. Mmmmmm.
