Whitt's Barbecue

I hate to do this but I can't help it. I have been eating at this location since I was a child and never have I ever had pork taste so dry. I promise this has to be turkey but they have argued me up and down that it is pork. Maybe because the last few times I have ate Lawler's but it was horrible. I've never known pork to have skin in it. Terrible experience! I may be wrong but I've also never been giving the brown vinaigrette sauce served with it. 2/22/24

The best barbecue in town! Friendly customer service and delicious food!

I LOVE this sweet BBQ place! Tremendous service, delicious food, great price!

Fresh food, friendly service, and that carrot cake is off the chain!

I have tried BBQ from Texas to South Carolina, and from Mississippi to Kentucky and to Kansas City. If pulled pork is your favorite, then a trip to Whitt's in Athens is worth the effort. Yes, there are other Whitt's, but this one is just special.

The BEST BBQ ever! Coleslaw compliments it perfectly!! Drive 4 times a year to eat here! It's a 7 hour drive, SO worth it!!

Whitt's has always been one of my favorite places to get pulled pork BBQ. Started eating Whitt's over 30 years ago. This visit, October 16, 2023, I got the #3 family pack. I added a pint of potato salad and a pint of baked beans. $51!! I know everything is expensive nowadays but I thought that a little high. The pulled pork was delicious as always. I absolutely love the vinegar slaw. The baked beans we very good. The potato salad, !! That was the most awful tasting potato salad I have ever had. It didn't even look like potato salad. When I opened it it had what looked like oil on the top, little puddles. It looked like someone had combined potato salad and coleslaw. It was not a mustard based potato salad. There weren't any chunks of potato. It was kind of just mushed potatoes. I took two bites and threw it in the garbage. I gave the food four stars for everything else. I'd give the potato salad negative stars.
