PO'BOYS' BBQ

So surprising! I couldn’t believe my own taste buds, but I was eating the very best burger ever. It is so surprising because I’m a lot in Nashville in Memphis and barbecue joints are my go to places but this one was one of a kind. I just went one time early August 2025 and I cannot say if this is consistent through time but the BFM burger was out of this world. Coleslaw was absolutely delicious also. This place is saved in my own account and whenever in Athens, I’ll be back there.

This was my second time in Greece—and my second visit to Po’ Boys! The first time was two years ago. I was hot and tired from walking in the June sun and just wanted something quick to eat. I grabbed a basic cheeseburger to-go… and wow, it was amazing! Soft bun, juicy beef, and packed with flavor. I even took a photo of the packaging so I wouldn’t forget the place. Fast forward to now, I came back—this time with my sister—and we tried the Holy Cow burger with smoked beef, caramelized onions, and a mix of other tasty ingredients I can’t quite remember. But it was super delicious. The menu has a lot of cool options and unique flavors. Prices are affordable, portions are big, and the staff is super friendly and polite. If I ever come back to Athens, I’m definitely stopping by again. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city!

I'm straight from Texas and I swear the brisket & pulled pro might be better than most I have had in Texas. I would highly recommend you get the mashed potatoes and gravy too! We kinda stumbled upon the place and we were so excited to find a place that felt like home back in West Texas. We also tried the fried chicken and the cheese slider. Fried chicken 10/10 and I would probably opt for the actual burger if I went again. Such a great experience from decor to service. If you want a break from European/greek style food you have to go. If you are local and curious about good BBQ you have to go! Also get a reservation. It was completely booked and I think we got lucky we even got a table. Prices are more than fair and to be honest I am getting hungry again writing this review! Love love love Po Boy BBQ!

I really enjoyed the burger and the Corfu Special Red beer, a great combination! The one in the picture is the Oklahoma Fried Onion Smashed, which was delicious, but my favorite is definitely the Double Smashed Cheeseburger. For burgers in Athens, this place is easily in my top 3!

My god, this was fantastic. They serve a wide range of tasty dishes from the south US. Brisket, buttermilk fried chicken, coleslaw, ... Accompany that with good, cold drinks and super friendly and attentive service. The atmosphere is also just so cool, like in a retro diner. And they love Anthony Bourdaine.

As an American, I approve! Fantastic food, setting and service. The smash burgers were amazing. The sampler was huge. The pulled pork, cabbage and potato salads were the highlight. 🇺🇸

If you’re looking for some good American BBQ in Athens, Po’Boys is worth trying. Food is surprisingly good and you get your money’s worth in portions. Service is really good and the team does their best to accommodate English speakers. Menu includes BBQ Meats and Platters, Mac and Cheese, Burgers, Sandwiches, Cocktails and more. Highlights include the Garlic Bread to start and the Po’Boy Sampler for 2 which is a large sampler of all their BBQ meats (brisket, fried chicken, ribs, sausage and more). For dessert, go for the Dulce de Leche Cinnamon Bun with the Soft Serve Ice Cream (do vanilla!). Oh, and try their cocktails too! Come hungry! You’ll leave happy.

I hadn’t had really good gumbo since Louisiana, but this one is close like it. I recommend the gumbo. It’s a good enough portion for being a small size and the bao buns are a great choice as well.
