Local Joe’s in Cave Spring has a great vibe and a friendly, small-town feel. My wife and I shared the Triple Meat Plate with ribs, shredded chicken, and turkey.
The ribs were good, not the best I’ve had, but still solid and flavorful. The chicken was a little dry, and the turkey was pretty good overall. The baked beans were fantastic and easily my favorite part of the meal. The mac and cheese was okay, nothing special.
The biggest letdown was the Brunswick stew, the taste just wasn’t there, and the portion was tiny, served in a small cup more suited for sauce than a real side. The cornbread was fine but nothing to rave about.
For around $21, it wasn’t the best BBQ plate I’ve ever had, but not the worst either. I really liked the atmosphere, and I’d definitely come back to try the meatloaf next time.

We’re full time rv travelers in the area for a bit. For a little place. The food was fantastic. I got the pork plate. Hubby the turkey plate. Both were delicious. Staff was pleasant and helpful. We would for sure come back here when in the area

Food is so tasty and the people work there are so friendly. If I could suggest one thing…. Is to improve the portion sizes. I got the lunch special with a pork sandwich and pasta salad and a drink….the pasta salad literally was in the smallest container and you could eat it in 3 bites….. but, their pork skins are amazing!!!! Best I’ve ever had!

Local Joe’s is the 274th BBQ restaurant I’ve had the pleasure of eating in. Really eclectic atmosphere in a small west GA town with a great menu for Q, excellent sides, and priced as it should be. If you’re around the northwest side of GA, give this a shout. I’m headed back there soon. BYW, they have homemade woopie pies that kick ayes. ANF banana pudding is a side. That’s what makes this place special.

You can walk in this place and feel the positive energy. The atmosphere here just makes you excited to be here. The food was a little different than what I’m used to. It still was exceptional in taste and quality. This locally owned restaurant is a staple here. The staff was incredibly friendly. We even got to meet the owner who was working in the kitchen at the time. You can taste the love in their food.
The flavor may not be for everybody if your not open minded. I ordered the ribs with Brunswick stew and potato salad. I also got a small banana pudding. I was not too big of a fan of the barbecue sauce however the ribs were incredibly tender and delicious. Potato salad was okay, the Brunswick stew was out of this world. The banana pudding was just yummmmmy!

Even though we only live a mile away, this was our first visit to Local Joe’s. I’m not a meat-eater, but my husband had really been wanting to try it after being able to smell it all over town. The smokey BBQ pit fragrance lured him in!
Right away we thought the place was very cute and loved the cozy feel inside. It was a blast from the past to think that this building was the tiny post office in town when I was a child. The decor is cheerful and not overwhelming. We were glad there were no loud TVs playing, like so many restaurants have these days. The blues music they had on was pleasant and fit the theme.
We were a little surprised and disappointed that there is no kid’s menu. It would’ve been nice to have more options for our daughter, like maybe a basic grilled cheese sandwich or something like that. She had the nachos and enjoyed them, but said the cheese was a little spicy for her. (It wasn’t too spicy for an adult though.) She also had a side of macaroni and wanted to get more, but they were sold out shortly after we had gotten our order.
My husband loved his BBQ pork sandwich and was happy they had Texas Pete on every table. I was a little surprised they didn’t have different types of BBQ sauces on the tables to chose from, or even when ordering…it is the basic barbecue sauce, not the vinegar style. This wasn’t a big deal, but wanted to mention it in case different sauces are your thing.
I just ordered some sides for myself. I wish there had been a “veggie plate” option, but I had to individually order the sides. The potato salad was absolutely delicious…some of the best I’ve ever had! I also had baked beans, macaroni and cheese, and vinegar slaw. It was all great, although I wish the cabbage had been chopped up a little bit more in the slaw. I also took a chance and got a bowl of Brunswick stew. It was a little too thick and meaty for me, but my husband liked it, so we brought it home for him. I also got an additional side of potato salad and baked beans to take home, because they were so yummy!
The staff were super friendly and efficient the entire time we were there. The restaurant is very clean and pleasant and I recommend trying it, especially if you love BBQ! Oh, they also have some desserts and baked goods that looked really good. I was too full, but we will have to get some of that next time. Happy to have this little place so close to home in our little town!

Chicken nachos were wonderful. I enjoyed the pork plate. Potato salad was really good! Would not order the Brunswick stew again and the Mac and cheese was a bit dry. Banana pudding was good. Brisket has a lot of fat. Corn bread was a bit dry…I should have asked for some butter for it. Pretty small space but we were there on a festival weekend…so busier than usual… nice outdoor seating spaces though. If we go back, we’ll find what we like and stick to ordering such.

The moment I walked in, it gave me a welcome home feeling. I ate a pound of sausage and a pound of pulled pork. The meat was succulent, flavorful, and most. I like sweet bbq sauce, and their red bbq is the bees knees. If I find myself in cave springs again, ill be remiss if I dont stop in for some of their bbq!

Great little southern eatery. I have had their BBQ which was catered and heard great things. I was not disappointed. The decor is a throw back to years gone by. Surprised to see a variety on the menus. Enjoyed the daily special which was a twist on southern favorites. Must stop when in Cave Springs.

I wish I would have remembered to take a picture, but alas by the time I thought of it – my food was almost gone.
I got the Saturday brisket with Mac and squash casserole as my sides. Fiance got the sausage with slaw and potato salad.
The Mac had a nice subtle black pepper taste cooked into it, squash casserole had the texture of thanksgiving leftovers but the flavor made up for it, so good. Potato salad had such lovely layers of flavor. The slaw had a wonderful taste but the texture/size for me personally wasn’t there (don’t get me wrong, it had crunch. But it was more hand shredded like, thicker strips of cabbage vs traditional shredded coleslaw. For me, again, personally, I couldn’t do it).
Now the meats!!
Brisket was just a touch dry, but the heated BBQ sauce helped texturally.
I am not a sausage person (no reason, just don’t care for it). I “tried” four slices. It was delicious!! The honey mustard is perfect. Vinegar based, not sweet, just right.
Service was great, the ladies were super helpful in describing the dishes and helping us decide.
Music – outside speakers were much louder than inside, so don’t let that be a deterrent (I get sensitive and we almost picked another spot because how loud it seemed. As soon as we walked in tho – definitely doable. Not loud at all but can still hear music)
Check out Cave Spring. Nice little town. And while you’re there grab some delicious BBQ at Local Joe’s!!!
