Smoke & Barrels - Evans, GA - (Near Evans, GA)

5 /5 Hung Do: This BBQ place is legit. Walk up to the counter & order, then take the number to a table. They will bring the food to your table in a few minutes. The meats are smoky & tasty, high quality. The sides had a good selection & cooked perfectly. The fried pickles were excellent- hot, crispy & sour not salty. The banana pudding was on point. The only thing we didn’t like was their version of the Brunswick stew - kind thick with too much meat. We prefer it to be more soupy with vegetables. Portions were more than adequate. The service was friendly & prompt. The vibe was very casual. They have a bar as well, which we did not used. 2 thumbs up! Will definitely be back.

5 /5 Matthew willis: Just gave this place a shot and it absolutely did not disappoint. The meat was so good it needed zero sauce. Unlike other bbq places I didn’t feel like I ingested more grease than bbq. Everything was delicious, clean, zero fat & super lean. Sauces were all enjoyable.

5 /5 Aerial Waguespack: This sandwich is what Arby’s wishes it could be. The meat to bread ration was on point. The food was amazing as was the service. You can order at the counter or sit down and have table service. All the girls there were very sweet and were quick to get anything we needed. All the bbq sauces were delicious, the turkey was the juiciest I’ve ever had, and the collard greens were good without any extra seasoning. Our desserts were also excellent! Definitely recommend.

5 /5 Shelby Thompson: I went here to celebrate my birthday and the food was absolutely amazing. I didn’t get the name of our server but she was amazing and made sure our drinks were full and we had everything we needed. I got the natty with baked beans and potato salad. I will definitely be back to get this again. The flavors of the sandwich paired so well together. The honey bbq sauce was my favorite with it.

5 /5 Rafe Kossak: Alright. Ill start by saying my family lives in missouri, I was stationed in texas, best friend is from memphis. Ive been around the bbq block a time or two. Is this place revolutionary? No. Is it the best spot for 50 miles? Theres no doubt in my mind. Its the best bar-b-que in Augusta, and it isnt even close. We got turkey, brisket, wings, collards, mac, okra, sweet potato tots, and broccoli casserole. And a mud pie. Turkey was moist, tender, and peppery. Brisket was delicious with a perfect smoke ring. Wings were the worst of the three, and if I could do it again, id probably leave em and get some pork. They were out of tri tip, but we got to try some and it was tender and delicious. Sauces were good. White was as good as anything in alabama, georgia was perfectly peppery, and the mustard was killer. Mixed the mustard, honey, vinegar, and jalapeno to make a killer blend. Collards were very good. Wish they had some heat or meat in them, but good nonetheless. Broc casserole was great. Mac and cheese was indeed cheesy. Okra was fine--Fried perfectly, but clearly not breaded in house. Sweet potato tots were tasty. Again, perfect fry. Mud pie was cool, but I wish Id said no to drugs. Service was great too. Good management, and some very friendly and patient people at the front counter. Not sure what more you could ask for. This place is a done deal for what Ive tried in Augusta. Significantly better than the rest. If you want good bbq in this city, go here.
