Finally stopped in after driving by several times weekly and was glad I did. The dining room is bigger than expected and decorated with lake photos. The barbecue was just fine as was the Brunswick stew. Will be back.

Love Sherry’s barbecue! Great flavor and tender without all the fat, which deserves an extra star! This was our first time trying it and my friend enjoyed the Mac n cheese w/the hint of pimento. No photo of our food to show because it’s all gone! We shall return soon!

You will not be disappointed here. Their amazing service, tender meats, and homemade barbecue sauce makes this the perfect place to enjoy some BBQ. Owner's Sherry and Terry are wonderful and work hard to provide a wonderful meal.

I have been a few times. I usually pick up on the way to work. Last time I remember not having enough sauce with my sandwich. One 2oz portion cup is not enough for a pulled pork sandwich. Today I called ahead and ordered 2 sandwiches. When I got there, I asked for some extra sauce. I was told that extra sauce is 50 cents each. I was shocked. Its not about the money. How are you going to sell a sandwich with not enough sauce to enjoy it, and then charge for more sauce? The women explained if I were eating there I could have more sauce and that the sandwiches were costed with the 2oz BBQ sauce. She also said that she didn't make the rules. She politely offer me two more sauces. I have added a picture of the four "2 oz" sauces I received. Needless to say, my sandwich was still a bit dry and could have used more sauce. Edit 2/9/21: still charging innocent hard working Americans for enough sauce to eat the sandwich. Why don't they factor enough sauce into the cost of the sandwich?

We were in the area camping, and we decided to stop here to have a bite to eat. That is what we got, a bite of meat. They have very very small portions at a very high price. Even though we only got a bite to eat, it was a tasty bite.

Great quality, course shredded, lean smoked pork barbecue. Big pork barbecue sandwiches on sesame seed buns. And the Brunswick stew is absolutely fabulous. Very little juice. It's all coarse, chunked meat with a few vegetables. You can taste the smoke and the meat flavor not much else. This is the BBQ purist's choice. I buy this Brunswick stew by the quart. And open on Sunday! There was nobody else in there this Sunday afternoon. The food was prepared quickly and tasted great. I ordered extra for a late supper. Clean, large, unisex bathroom.

We were out and about with family and looking for a place to eat that offered outdoor dining since we also had a small dog with us for the ride. This was a hidden gem that we found and also we had all been in the mood for bbq. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious. I had the 3 rib plate, Brunswick stew, and Cole slaw. The corn is different, but I still thought it was good. I also had some mac and cheese which I thought was also good. The corn and Mac and cheese being leftover from my family that gave them over to me. I would certainly eat here again.

We had been wanting to try Sherry's for quite some time since they are north of us, away from all traffic in Gainesville, GA. They have a very nice set up but unfortunately falls short of what I have come to expect out of a BBQ place... A good brisket, amazing sides AND friendly service!! My wife joined me for this so she normally gets a veggie platter and ended up with MAC & CHEESE, GREEN BEANS, BBQ BEANS and POTATO SALAD. The MAC & CHEESE was good, cheesy with good cheese taste and the POTATO SALAD was OK, not bad but nothing spectacular. The GREEN BEANS did not taste good to us though and after one bite we thought "are they burned?". The BBQ BEANS tasted like ketchup and had a strong flavor to them, so if you're into those type of beans you'll like them. I ordered a 3 MEAT plate and ordered an additional side since it only comes with 1 side, so I picked the MAC & CHEESE along with CREAM CORN. The MAC & CHEESE as mentioned above was good and the cream corn was creamy and tasty. The pulled pork was OK and could have been a more tender but with their carolina sauce it was good. By the way, we are NOT spicy eating people and their spicy sauce did nothing to neither one of us... that was a shock! My turkey was refrigerator COLD so definitely not cooked fresh and my brisket, although it had a good rub and taste, was tough. Definitely not one of my best BBQ finds :-( Roli's Rating: 1. Service: 5/10, My wife always gets VEGGIE PLATTERS when we go eat BBQ and most locations will offer some type of platter for some $ amount. We didn't see it on the menu when we walked in so she asked the young man "I don't see a veggie platter... are there any veggie platter options?" If the location doesn't have any we would simply expect a nice and quick "I'm sorry, we do not... but we could do *insert options*" but instead we just got a "NO" with a blank stare.... after a quick moment of silence she just said OK and ordered the items individually. The lady that brought us our food smiled but there was no welcome or anything else special that would set this place apart. Drinks are self serve so you get up to get your own drinks 2. Price: 7/10, Most items on the menu will cost you a bit over $10 if you grab a drink 3. Location and Parking: 6/10, Location is in the middle of everything so travel will be necessary. Parking will never be an issue 4. Cleanliness: 8/10, The place looked clean 5. Health Rating: A (100) 6. Roli Overall Rating: 4/10 **Roli's Recommendations** PULLED PORK WITH THEIR CAROLINA SAUCE, MAC & CHEESE, CREAM CORN
