Surprised to see my favorite GA 'que place on the list. #2 Fresh Air

It's great, just surprised it got noticed on a list like that.

Will have to take your word on it. The food pictured for them looks awful.

One of my more pleasant BBQ experiences was in GA when I was driving from Miami to DC.

Place called Smoking Pig I think? Got 2 pulled pork sandwiches and a banana pudding. I think it was connected to a gas station if i recall in the middle of nowhere

Certainly not the best BBQ I've ever had, but it was pretty damn good and got the job done

Agree. I've been eating Fresh Air since I was a little kid. Family has had a place on the lake since the early 80s. It isn't for everyone, but it is a living example of do one thing and do it good.

I don't know why they put both Melvin's and Bessinger's in the list. They are basically the same food, just opposite sides of the Charleston peninsula. Could have included just one (or done them as a combined entry) and put someone else in there.

Also surprised that Sweatman's in Holly Hill isn't on there. It is (or was) the crown jewel of BBQ joints in SC and a pilgrimage for BBQ aficionados. Open only on Friday and Saturday, and at one time you went through a cafeteria style line to get your food, but that changed during/after COVID.

I’m surprised too. Overrated for sure.

But lists like this are just clickbait. The guy that wrote this hasn’t even been to all the possible options.
