Great pulled pork sandwiches and a $5.00 lunch special through the week. (sandwich, chips, and drink). Friendly folks, takes debit cards and quick enough to stop in on the way somewhere.
Big grill, perfect smoke taste and the ribs were delicately covered by the bone!!! Love their vinegar-based sauce and bought two big bottles to bring home
Real GA BBQ. I absolutely do not understand the low rating of Old Clinton. I've posted about a few other BBQ joints in GA, since I really, really like BBQ. It has long been said that the Fresh Air BBQ in Jackson is the best in GA. That's debatable, of course (it's darned close , but if it is, Old Clinton comes in a close second for at least the northern half of GA. My wife is a shameless BBQ snob from SC and holds a dim view of GA BBQ and her vote is that this is indeed he best in GA. (I still have a lot of places to take her, though. Having grown up in Middle Georgia, I have eaten at Old Clinton for years. I'll still make twice yearly pilgrimage from Atlanta too the Old Clinton Community (it isn't really in Gray to eat there. Yes, it's that good. Old Clinton has not stayed in business for 53 years selling bad BBQ to a local population that loves BBQ. The pulled pork is moist, slow cooked and perfectly smoked. It is served with their own excellent sauce. The side dishes are so so, but then they usually are in most good BBQ joints. The focus is on the pork. Their desserts cakes and pies are home made and delicious. Don't go to the Old Clinton looking for style. It's a small family run place and is simple. I like that they still have wooden benches on top of saw dust outside for those who want to eat outdoors. The staff is always friendly and usually on first name terms with the regulars. It makes them very happy when people come all the way from Atlanta to eat there.
Food was amazing! It was definitely worth the 10 hours drive from Ohio! Will be back
Located between Macon and Gray, Georgia on U.S. 129, Old Clinton BBQ claims to be the best in Georgia. We stopped there on our way up to Athens for lunch. The outside is classic bbq, run down and ramshackle with some picnic tables in front under a small overhang. The welcome mat is saw dust on the floor and the inside consist of brown tables and a concrete floor. It looks like it has not been updated since the mid-70′s. I loved it. Upon entering the dining room was filled with an assortment of bikers and fellow college football fans who were all appeared to be enjoying their food. I was hungry but was instructed by a fellow traveler to avoid the Brunswick stew who said it was not very good. Since I do not really like Bruswick stew it was no loss to me. I then went up to the counter an ordered the pork plate with fries, slaw, a slice of 14 layer cake and a coke. The service was fast and friendly and in no time I had my 1970′s style cafeteria tray full of food. I fou
