Are they pork ribs or beef ribs? Asking because I'm allergic to beef

Thanks for asking Johnny! It’s your lucky day our ribs are pork in deed!!! Get there early or call ahead sometimes things go fast! See y’all soon! We open at 11am

Stopped by Mike’s on 8/18/2020. Wanted a pound of chopped pork to go. Cashier would not sell me a pound. I then asked for a half pound to go. Cashier would not sell me a half pound either. Said a meat shortage prevented the sale. Will not be back.

I’m sorry, but due to the meat shortage we aren’t able to do meat by the lbs. or half pounds! I’m very sorry but we would be more than happy to set you up w a plate or a sandwich! In order to keep our prices down while meat costs are going up we have to prioritize our customers dine in experience! This is out of our control I hope once things are back to normal you will be back to see us!

do you cater?

I'm not sure about catering. It's a very small family run place. I believe they can fix most things ahead with enough notice. But you will be paying by the pound for most of it. I love their good here.

What r the prices for the food

The prices are very reasonable

The staff was rude to my party. We left and went to another place that actually wanted our business. I am sure the food is good but the staff needs to up their game.

Tiny little place but they accommodated our party of 9. I had the BBQ plate, and it was delicious and tender. Staff was very nice, they were very patient and even entertained the kids. I would happily go back to this place any time. Ohh and did I mention it was very well priced!

Stopped by on a Saturday evening after hiking a little north and so glad we did. They had already run out of brisket for the day so me and my boyfriend both got rib/pulled pork combo plates and it was so good! We tried Mac and cheese, baked beans, and slaw. Pork was cooked perfectly and I could drink the “sassy” sauce. Will definitely be back!

Food was great, but the waiter (older lady) is always so nasty. Someone needs to tell her that, if she's not happy serving tables, she needs to quit! Husband and I feel very uncomfortable stepping in there.

Great BBQ. Pork sandwiches & brisket are delicious & not overly fatty. Smaller portions keep it from 5 star

I love good BBQ and I am very picky when it comes to BBQ. It must be smoked, this is. The sauce I prefer is a southern rich brown sugar sweet sauce. They have it. This is real hand pulled pork, not shredded with a gadget. This is done the old fashioned way by hand. This gives you huge chunks of pork, not small shredded bits. And they keep their sauces warm in a crock pot. Yes, it will be messy, but, in a good way. I went on a Thursday and Thursday is $5.00 pork sandwich day, all day! What a fantastic deal and was well worth every penny and bite. Not only that if you eat out as much as I do, I always look for the eateries "cleanliness" score. 100!!! That is rare. Cute place, but, is very small. Nice mountain country atmosphere. Great service.

Stopped in on the night before Christmas Eve while visiting family. Pulled pork sandwiches were moist, plentiful, and my 16 year old daughter couldn't finish a whole one! Pork was awesome. Wife got the Brunswick Stew, and we tried the brisket (since we live in Texas, we had to). Brunswick Stew was best around, and the brisket is the best I've had outside of the Lone Star state! Very moist, with "melt in your mouth" texture and just the right amount of smoky goodness it needed! Will be a regular stopping point for our future travels!

Everything is delicious. Even the toast was the best toast I've ever had. The lemonade kicked my socks off. Even though it was busy the staff still took the time to stop by and check on us from time to time. I can't say enough good things about this place. Do yourself a favor and eat here.

Best BBQ joint in town! Service was amazing & the food came out unbelievably quick, but delicious. Ribs were so warm & tender. Their mac and cheese was the cheesiest & mouth watering dish ever. They keep their BBQ sauces in a warmer & don’t put it on your table for use until you sit down. I love that small detail! It really made them stand out to me. Very reasonably priced as well. I witnessed a couple of people come in ordering to-go & they waited 3 mins. at the most. When they say they’re the fastest take out place around, they were not joking. The decor inside is very cool. There's something interesting to stare at in every direction. They even have a patio that overlooks the main road that's dog friendly! Can’t wait to come back!

We paused for a moment because the place did not look as I expected. We gave it a try and I am glad we did. We were 12 at the table and we all liked the place. If you are looking for good BBQ in Blue Ridge, GA, this is the place. The prices are very reasonable and the staff is great. Recommended.

Mike's Trackside BBQ was awesome! As soon as we walked in, we were treated and fed like family. The pork sandwiches were great, and they were open the night before Christmas Eve. I totally suggest this place if you're in town.

Super fast service, food was good, but not great to me. We had sirloin, pulled pork and brisket. They were all good, however my husband wanted ribs, but at noon, they were already out. This was very disappointing for a BBQ restaurant. For sides, we had baked beans, apples and mac and cheese, all were mediocre. The toasted bread was good but a little salty.

Best bar b q in blue Ridge. Just a small place with great food. Best coleslaw I have ever had. Anywhere! Try the coleslaw! It is super sweet with a hint of pineapple I think. I couldn't get them to give me the recipe.Maybe next time.😁Update- 9/11/20. I tried the rocket dog yesterday. It was the best chili dog I have ever had.! I put slaw on mine and it was over the top.

The brisket and barbecue sauces were good but not amazing. The macaroni and cheese is not homemade and you can tell. The potato chips are bagged Lays. Overall the meal was just all right but far too expensive for what you get. There are better places in town. Portions were very small, even on the dinner platter.

It was a really small place which made it cozy. It's very dated but I loved admiring all of the aged decor. I would recommend the pulled pork for sure. The waitress was a rock-star, her personality was great. And last but not least the owners sat down and conversated with us! You can't get good customer service like that anymore. Would definitely go back for a sandwich instead of a dinner because the meat portions were big.

Good food, no criticisms there. However, my order was takeout and they forgot to put one of the kid’s entrees in the bag. We realized the missing food after we got back to the house and when calling the restaurant we were told they refused to do any refunds without the cardholder being there in person. When I asked if they realized they didn’t put the food in the bag they said “I don’t know what we put in the bag” and “that is where we stand”. I understand people may take advantage and fraudulently ask for refunds on takeout, but this was a $5 deal and ruined the impression of the business. Penny wise, pound foolish.

We stumbled on this place by accident looking for another eating establishment. It looked so inviting we decided to give it a go, and boy are we glad! This was during Covid19 and they only had curb side service which was quick and easy. BEST BRISKET EVER! We are frequent visitors to this area and this place is on our new to-do list❤️

Really nice staff, I just stopped in to grab something to go, I have never been here so I didn’t want want to put all my chickens in one basket so I ordered the only combo they had which seemed pricey at 18.99. I got the Brisket and pulled pork it came with 2 sides, the food was good not great and very small portions. Again the staff was great, food was good just not great, and price was high for what you get.

Such a great little place! Stopped in for lunch and I'm so glad we did. From the moment we got there, the service was prompt and friendly and the food was DELISH! I had the tumbleweed sandwich with a side of mac n cheese and stewed apples and my wife and the pulled pork sandwich. Their sauce was the perfect compliment, but you didn't need a lot since the meet was smoked perfectly. Will definitely be back!

Great little place for BBQ. Reason for four stars versus five was the lack of dining and parking space. Food was terrific though. We both had the same thing, BBQ pork on a bun with a side of Mac and cheese. Both were really tasty and the spicy sauce is one they should bottle and sell it's that good!

The earlier you get there, the best chance you have of ordering! It took us 3 tries to eat, but it was so worth it. They close when they run out of food, and when we were there, they were taking cash only, do be prepared. All things considered, it's worth it!
