Let's smoke
something good.

Low and slow since day one. We take pride in every brisket, every rib, every drop of sauce — because real barbecue isn't rushed.

Our Story

Born from a Love
of Real Smoke

Papaws BBQ started with a simple belief: barbecue should taste like someone actually cared about it. Not fast, not flashy — just good, honest meat smoked low and slow over real wood.

Located right here in Blairsville, we've built our menu around the cuts and sides that make Southern barbecue what it's supposed to be. No shortcuts. No rush. Just time, heat, and a whole lot of patience.

Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch on your way through or settling in for a proper meal, we want you to taste the difference that care makes.
