Papa Buck's BBQ Vidalia

This place is always so good. The food is excellent no matter what you get from there. The service is always exceptional. The atmosphere is somewhere I would feel comfortable bringing my family to. If you want good bbq and friendly service I definitely recommend going to Papa Bucks!

Very unfriendly young girl working the counter. She was texting on her apple watch as I was giving her my order, no eye contact. The brisket was ok, but not for the price. Mac and cheese no flavor and a baked potato with barely any butter or sour cream. Just an unwelcoming visit in my opinion. I'm currently traveling and like to try different spots. I wouldn't revisit her personally. One good thing is that the food did come out pretty quick. 2/10 overall.

Not from the area or state at that, first time coming there. People were so friendly and helpful with recommendations. They even gave me samples of the Mac and Cheese to make sure I would like it. They also recommended me to try their sweet potato soufflé with a sample as well. LOVED!! It was super good, ordered a side to go! Definitely recommend to anyone and try their soufflé, it didn’t taste like sweet potato’s at all, could’ve fooled me. Really enjoyed the meal and service, thank you so much! :)

Driving up to this place, you can tell that it will be a little different. The restaurant is an old gas station. We walked in and were greeted by 2 friendly girls, who seemed to be having a great time working there. After asking them about different menu items and discussing options, we decided on 1st, the original scooby snack with brisket, fully loaded, then a plate of brisket, ribs, fried corn & Brunswick stew, plus some sweet tea to wash everything down. While the Mac and cheese is a personal favorite, we were told that some times its out of this world good and sometimes it was ok, it appeared that it wasn't an out of this world day, so we passed on that, for now. Let's start with the tea, it was tasty and refreshing, nothing out of the ordinary or unexpected, but good. Next was the Br

Great BBQ pulled pork plate. The pork was moist and looked appetizing, and even better on the tongue. Their Signature sauce was nice and tangy. The Sweet and Smokey was definitely tasty and I tried both equally. Signature won out in the end 🤟. The sides I chose were green beans and brunswick stew. The greens were bland, I assume on purpose so we can add salt/pepper to our taste. The brunswick stew is chunkier than I like but still passed the taste test. I would definitely eat here the next time we're through. Oh... and as we were leaving my lovely lady noticed that a band I worked with many years ago (the Fly Me Courageous album) had been there recently and posted there own "Signature" review of Papa Buck's on the bulletin board.
