Hickory smoked for 14 hours dry rubbed fresh Boston butts, mmm makes for some kind of good…
I passed this little BBQ joint several times before I finally took the time to give it a try. Now, Big D’s is a regular stop for me weather I’m at Lake Lanier fishing, or headed to Helen, Ga. Located at the corner of Ga. 400 and Hwy 53, Big D’s is conveniently close to Lake Lanier’s Thompson Creek boat ramp making it the perfect stop to grab some true home style excellent BBQ before puttin the boat in for a night of crappie fishin.
All of the pork is hand pulled to insure minimum fat. The ribs are hickory smoked to perfection St. Louis style. So if you want your fishin buddies to follow you around like a lost coon dog, bring a few slabs of these ribs down to the lake with ya.
If you find yourself tryin to get bright eyed and bushy tale for a early morning of bass fishin on Lanier, you got to make a stop in at Big D’s BBQ for a unforgettable country style breakfast. These big biscuits with your choice of meat, and a glass of good ole southern fresh made sweet tea will have you perked up real quick like, and ready to try that old worm on a hook trick all day.
And don’t run off without trying their slowly becoming famous hush puppies if you like em sweet, you will buyin a handful just to take home with you, in fact I typically order a dozen to store and warm up for later when I cook out my days catch on a grill at Lake Lanier.
Along with the hush puppies, you have a excellent choice of sides such as baked beans french fries, fried okra, awesome potato salad, cole slaw, green beans, macaroni and CHEESE…, and probably some of the best brunswick stew you’ve ever put in your mouth.
And what would a Georgia BBQ joint be without peach cobbler? Big D’s cobbler will have you coming back for re-fills on this Southern delicacy. Just the right texture, and prepared in a way as to not cover up that true fresh taste of a southern peach.
The owner of Big D’s BBQ Danny Evans started barbequing way back in 1977 as a way to raise money for a fire department that was having financial troubles in Marshaville, Ga.
