Hawkeye Bar-B-Que Specialties

the sides were great but the bar-​b-​q was … not as good as the smell in the parking lot set my expectations to.

I am a southern boy through and through having been born and raised 20 miles from here in Sylvester Georgia. This Tifton lunch spot is a winner! This is the «meat and two vegetable» lunch place I remember from my youth. They are few and far between now but this is a fine example. Don’t let the name fool you since this nice café does indeed have barbecue but I come here even more so for its fresh vegetables and nicely done southern food. Today for example they had homemade chicken pot pie and fried pork chops and vegetable selections including pole beans, zipper peas, squash casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy,
into vegetables plus biscuits or cornbread for eight dollars is perfectly reasonable. The sweet tea is a southern specialty and freshly brewed. Wait staff are friendly and environment is clean and unpretentious. Thursday and Friday nights they have fresh seafood (including my favorite whole catfish!) and Friday nights only they have prime rib and steak. come enjoy this traditional Southern Café while there are still some to be found! You won’t regret it!

The BBQ is marginal. The ice tea is good though.
