Read MoreRecently went here for lunch with a friend. I had heard good things of the original North Georgia BBQ locations in Dahlonega and Cleveland so when I found out that they had opened a location in Gainesville, I was very curious to try. The interior of the new restaurant looked great with a bar at the side and a big open dining area. As this was both our first time eating here, we decided to go with the fan favorites: The Brisket plate and the Pig Melt.
The Pig melt was a pulled pork & cheese sandwich with Texas toast for the bread with a side of French Fries and tangy BBQ sauce. The Brisket plate consisted of 2 large cuts of brisket with 1 slice of Texas toast and 2 side items. My friend picked the collard greens and mac 'n cheese. For BBQ sauce, he picked a spicy one.
The Pig Melt was delicious with juicy pulled pork and the toast was neither too greasy or burnt, just right. The french fries were seasoned well, crunchy on the outside, but soft on the inside. My friend's brisket was quite a surprise. We both agreed that it was a good cut of brisket neither too dry nor too fatty, just right. The Collard Greens and Mac 'n Cheese were also great as well.
The brisket was so big that my friend had to get a to-go box for it which our server happen to notice and went to grab one instinctively before he could ask. Such good customer service!
We both left stuffed but satisfied with the restaurant. We both look forward to what other things are offered like their oysters and banana pudding.
