We recently went to Bigun’s Barbeque in Talking Rock Georgia. How we go there is a strange story. So, we will tell you. We were driving to our grandfather’s house in Hiawassee, Georgia.  About halfway there, Sam said, “I need to go to the restroom.”  So, we went to the next gas station that we saw.  When we got there, dad looked at his gas gauge and realized it was low.  So, he got gas at the pump and we went inside to the restroom.  When we got inside, we realized it was a really big barbecue restaurant.

Meanwhile, dad was outside pumping gas.  When we got back out to the car, dad was like, “I smell something goooooooddddddd……” Mom then told us that were actually at the barbecue restaurant that we saw on a billboard a ways back. Then she looked it up on Yelp.  It had really good reviews.  So, we decided to try it out…since it was almost dinnertime, anyway.

When we walked into the front of the restaurant, Sam thought “Woooph!!!! This place looks good!”  Paul started licking his lips and thought, “This is going to be killer barbecue!”  

Paul ordered the “Big ‘n’ Sloppy” pulled pork sandwich with a small side of baked beans.  Sam got the “Bigun” pulled pork sandwich with a large side of baked beans.  Mom and dad got ribs. 

Paul’s was really good. He says:

• “If you are getting the ‘Big ‘n’ Sloppy’, make sure to put the sweet barbecue sauce on it instead of the spicy.  The sweet is better. The pulled pork was nice and tender.  It was very juicy.  The baked beans were unusually served:  It has pulled pork IN it. It was really good.”
  

Sam loved his, too.  Says Sam:

• “We actually don’t know if we got our sandwiches mixed up.  But, the sandwich I ate was really good.  The size of the baked beans order got mixed up, too.  I loved the baked beans.”
  

And, now for Sam’s patented bathroom review:  

• “When you get close to the bathroom, the men’s and women’s signs…..the people that look like a man and a women….those signs were made out of dollar bills.  And the bathrooms were filled up with license plates and art. It was a nice bathroom.”
  

If you are traveling to the North Georgia Mountains from Atlanta on Highway 515, you should make a stop in Talking Rock, Georgia…..fill up your tank with gas…and your belly with some of the best barbecue in Georgia!!

p.s. - Mom and dad said their ribs were AWESOME.
