Georgia Bob's

Georgia Bob's is a barbecue restaurant serving slow-smoked meats and tangy sauce in a traditional southern style. Pulled pork, ribs, sliced brisket and smoked turkey are the main draws, and the menu also includes fried chicken tenders, chicken salad, pimento cheese and banana pudding. The family that runs it says the food is prepared from scratch the way southern barbecue has long been made.

Plates come with two sides, while family packs and party platters suit larger gatherings. Orders can be placed online, but large or catering orders should be confirmed with a store by phone first, since availability can vary. Gift cards and a loyalty club are offered. The stores are in Byron and Perry, with a third on Highway 96, and the corporate office is in Warner Robins.
