BawBaw’s BBQ

BawBaw’s BBQ is a family-owned smokehouse in Athens, Alabama, built on tradition, hard work, and a love for real barbecue. Every day, our meats are slow-smoked low and slow to bring out deep, rich flavor — no shortcuts, no compromises. From tender pulled pork with a perfect smoke ring to hearty, homemade sides made from scratch, everything we serve is prepared fresh daily.

At BawBaw’s, we believe great BBQ speaks for itself. That’s why our meats are served without sauce by default — so you can taste the quality and care in every bite. Of course, sauce is always available if you want it your way.

Whether you're stopping in for a quick lunch, feeding the family, or just craving authentic Southern barbecue, you’ll find a welcoming, down-home atmosphere and food made with pride. Around here, you're not just a customer — you're part of the BawBaw’s family.
