When that summertime heat blazes in the South, the grills start firing up! Experience the flavor sensation of true Southern BBQ this summer and all year round in Dublin GA.

True Southern BBQ

Southern Heritage BBQ

At Southern Heritage, they smoke up beef brisket, fork-tender pork ribs, and pork loins all rubbed with their secret blend of spices. Feeling a little saucy? Have your meat slathered in their tangy signature sauce with a light mustard bite. Make it a meal with one of their classic Southern sides and desserts. Our faves are the baked sweet potato and Brunswick stew!

Holy Smokes, That’s Good!

Named a BBQ Pitmasters Georgia Champion on Destination America’s BBQ Pitmasters, Holy Smokes BBQ knows good barbecue! Their grillmasters use only top-quality USDA meats, hand-selected to strict specifications. At Holy Smokes, each meat is hickory-smoked, slow-roasted daily, and finger lickin’ good. Chow down on a hardy slab of their award-winning ribs or get snacky with some BBQ nachos.

On the Out Skirts

JT’s BBQ Shack is located on Central Drive in East Dublin and there’s no blowing smoke with the flavor that’s been tested at this silo. Whether you prefer the daily specials or spreading the table with meat and veggies by the pound, JT’s Farm Market is your one stop shop. Here’s a tip from the locals: Try the loaded BBQ baked potato!

You Are The Grill Master

Grill up the finest prime cut ribeyes, filets, and loins for tender, mouthwatering flavor. Dexter Meat Company is locally owned and known for great southern hospitality, attentive staff, and the finest meats serving up a winning experience. No need to play saucier! Dexter Meat Company has the sauce and fixings to perfectly pair with your juicy rack of ribs or brisket. Need a caterer? Dexter Meat can do that, too!

Honorable Mention

Visit Hometown Grill for a hometown feel packed with bold flavor. They don’t always have barbecue, but when they do, that BBQ chicken and all the fixings will spice up your life! The menu changes up often, so call ahead or follow their Facebook to get the low-down.
