We also like Squealers, and I think it's on the same level. Adam does beef, pork, and chicken, and then he has some fun with rotating items. Not sure if it's still on the menu, but he'll make you a buffalo bbq chicken sandwich that clears my sinuses, and yet I still can't resist. He also makes his own addictive sweet tea and ranch dressing (not together, obviously!).Angie @ Just Like The Numberhttp://justlikethenumber.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-89633276725990803282011-09-02T11:51:43.869-04:002011-09-02T11:51:43.869-04:00Sarah, your comments are a good summary of the pla...Sarah, your comments are a good summary of the place. They do seem like nice people, so you want them to do well, but too bad the food isn't better. And when you said you spit out the cole slaw, it made me laugh. I felt the same way.Erin in Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06236924407558284371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-19410793486536266312011-09-01T19:39:10.791-04:002011-09-01T19:39:10.791-04:00I have been once since it is super close to my hou...I have been once since it is super close to my house, too. I liked the meat (pulled pork), but I spit out the cole slaw and thought the mac and cheese was edible but nothing very tasty. Still, I'd like to see them stay in business, they seem like nice folks.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15240402494577070232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-14226618111291737592011-09-01T19:36:45.836-04:002011-09-01T19:36:45.836-04:00Wayne, that's funny that you say that.

I thought the website was pretty unappetizing as well, which was one of the reasons it took us so long to go.<br /><br />Andrew, I haven't been to GT South's since I started blogging, but it is on the list for a review. Honestly, I don't remember feeling strongly about it one way or the other.<br /><br />Tom, Movable Feast is on my list for soon as well. I have a friend who has been nagging me to go there for ages.<br /><br />Andrea, I can't really speak to GT South's because it has been so long. But sounds like you didn't have a good experience. I will let you know what I think when I go.Erin in Indyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06236924407558284371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-1307511517737392342011-09-01T14:02:25.500-04:002011-09-01T14:02:25.500-04:00I had G.T.South a few days ago for the second time...I had G.T.South a few days ago for the second time. I thought it was pretty awful. No smoke flavor at all. If Black Diamond is not as good as G.T.

Beef Manhattan at GT South's is awesome, IMO.Tom Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05707908109402031352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7700721558717637465.post-53045041068268702312011-09-01T10:44:10.682-04:002011-09-01T10:44:10.682-04:00How is it compared to GT South's?

Surprised to see they have been open since 2007 -- seems like the kind of place that wouldn't survive for long, so somebody must think they're doing something right. But between their website and your review, I doubt I'll ever spend the money to find out if I agree.Waynenoreply@blogger.com
