Helen Georgia On The Way - BigDs BBQ

These guys are just one of a few of my favorite BBQ spots. If you’re traveling to Helen Georgia early, you can’t miss BigDs breakfast. I have two breakfast favorites while traveling up Ga. 400 North and this is one of them. Homemade biscuits with bacon, sausage, red hots, or tenderloin, and top it off with some good ol homemade gravy makes BigDs the spot for an excellent breakfast for the early morning traveler. The biscuits are right, and made to please any southerner. Don’t let that take away from the quality of BBQ. The stew is too die for. BigDs serves only the finest St Louis style ribs, no baby back here.

You can even fill up the little ones here with some hefty helping kids meals. The first time I ordered the stew I was somewhat skeptical. I typically will not eat stew that is mushy. I tried there stew, and the tomato taste was just perfect.

The stew did not have a real strong taste of smoked meat to it, but all the flavors complimented one another perfectly. The taste was such that the flavor of each ingredient stood out on its own, yet mixed well with the other ingredients. Oh and whatever you do, don’t forget to try the Cole slaw. For the true southern folks, the sweet tea is real, with that perfect clean goes down easy sweet tea with a dash of lemon.

The atmosphere is great, and I especially enjoyed sitting outside on the patio enjoying my BBQ with the nice cool breeze. The BBQ pork sandwiches were very juicy, for me juicy meat is a must for any BBQ spot to get my attention.

Believe me, I don’t know of one BBQ spot in or around this area that I haven’t tried, and if the meat is dry, I will not even waste my time writing about it. Moist and tender BBQ meat is the first thing any BBQ joint has to get right from the very beginning.
