Blowin' Smoke BBQ

Blowin' Smoke BBQ Review

The restaurant's name refers to the serious smoking of the meats and chicken over Georgia pecan wood, before the housemade barbecue sauce is slathered on. This is a hip, contemporary barbecue shop but based on the same Southern premise as the down-home barbecue joints that are candidly shown in the artsy black-and-white photos hung on the deep-purple and yellow walls. Fellow diners are usually 70% locals, students, and families with kids. The specialties here are pork ribs and hand-pulled pork. Of the fried appetizers, the mushrooms with smoky ranch dressing are the ticket. A must is one of the local craft beers.
