What started as a small roadside stand in 1924, across from Grayson Stadium, has grown into one of the city's beloved mainstays, with a menu that includes Brunswick stew, steaks, fried chicken, seafood, and meats spiced with the restaurant's famous tomato-and-mustard sauces. The hickory smoked BBQ pork is a treat, and their sauces are now so famous that they bottle them for take-home and shipping. Originally, the booths had doors and catered to business and romantic tête-à-têtes. The privacy doors have long gone though the old service bell's still there, and they're still the most comfortable seats in the house.

Shockingly bad food
Posted by rforan from Tampa on 7/22/08
The large roach crawling on the wall of our booth was the first hint that we would be disappointed. The hostess and waitress were as friendly as they could be, but they just couldn't make up for the greasy appetizers, overly sauced meat and lukewarm sides.

The Best BBQ Lamb on Earth
Posted by littlefrankie from New York on 12/25/07
The BBQ Lamb is something special to sink your teeth into. Enjoy it with tomato aspic and fried green tomatos.
The review of Syl form Baltimeore indicates a lack of BBQ knowledge. The reason for 1 sauce is there is only 1 Johnny Harris sauce, I have it shipped to me in New York.
