Maybe the best pork ribs in all of our travels!
Counter order then self-serve from extensive side options. Some have fussed about service, but all our questions were answered and generous portions served, so zero complaints there.
Really like the mini-plate option, especially when traveling so can enjoy a variety with having a nap attack on the road
The ribs! Sweet, spicy, smoky bark, pull apart but not crumbly…perfect! Brisket moist with nice bark. Sausage firm most and well-spiced. Pulled pork nicely sweet. Jalapeño pintos had nice kick and potato salad is mustard-based.
Even the Real Sugar soda worked…Robert Earl wouldn’t eat BBQ without a Big Red – me neither!
Definitely worth a stop! Unassuming space serving excellent Q!
Next time it’s a two-meat plate, all ribs!!!

I ordered a take out potatoe with brisket. Gotta say this place beats bbq prices elsewhere. Food was hot and ready. Delicious. The bbq wasnt greasy and they included sauce that is very good.

Our plan was to make out own BBQ for Labor Day but time slipped away from us. It was too late to cook and local restaurants were already closed. Google SHOWED a couple places open but they weren’t so when I called “Danny’s” I didn’t expect any answer but a friendly voice answered the call and took our order over the phone!
We weren’t sure if we could get enough food for our big family of 10 on such short notice but we absolutely did! Everyone was happily surprised of how delicious the brisket, ribs and sausage tasted! The baked beans were so good, it was hard not to get 2nds! The potato salad and green beans fell a little short on taste but for last minute requests, it was just fine! The okra was perfect and my son, who doesn’t usually eat okra, had a second serving.
I do have to say, everything is made in house and I was SUPER IMPRESSED with the desserts on hand. They looked fresh and moist so I had to buy the PEACH COBBLER! I do believe that aside from the meat, this was the family favorite! I bought a half cobbler and all that was left was a very small serving! Which my husband finished the next day!!!
The guys in the kitchen were working hard and it definitely showed. I wish I could give 1/2 stars bc as a family we agreed the food was 4.5 stars!
Thankfully Danny’s BBQ was open bc if not the BBQ craving would have been highly disappointed with Ham and Cheese sandwiches!! I highly recommend this BBQ spot next time you are in the Athens area!

This place is an absolute travesty. It’s like the health inspector forgot this place existed. Dead flies dirt and dust on the windowsills and all decor, filthy floors, busted dining room with dirty dishes all over. Ordered the 1/2 slab ribs and maybe 3 had any meat on them and were edible. The other half was burnt bones and tough beef jerky meat like they had excavated it from an ancient campsite. The barbecue sauce tasted like clove cigarettes. The woman working had one glove on which was holding the knife, and the other hand was gloveless and raw dogging the meat. Then I saw her dig in her ear with the same hand that was touching the meat and she never washed her hands after that. The underneath of her nails were black with filth. The coke from the fountain machine was somehow flat and tasted like pool water. The ice for fountain drinks is broken so there is ice in a chest cooler with a community scoop laying in there touching the ice that god knows how many other people have touched. There was visible mold/mildew in the chest cooler and I can guarantee it’s not cleaned regularly. Avoid this place if you value your life, health, and good bbq. I think dumpster diving for food would be better than going here.

We came around 6pm, and the meat tasted old and dry, despite it being “wet brisket”. The restaurant looked really dirty, the devilled eggs didn’t taste good and the fried ocra had a lingering flavor of old fryer oil. Overall it was a really bad experience. I respect everyone else’s reviews, we may have come at a bad time, but like.. it was not good..

Driving through Athens, Texas and stopped in at Danny’s Smokehouse & BBQ for an early dinner.
You order your main dish at the counter and self-serve any sides.
Husband ordered a brisket sandwich and got 2 sides (green beans and pinto beans) I ordered a Frito pie otherwise known as walking tacos, and got roasted brussel sprouts and macaroni and cheese also one stuffed jalapeno.
Everything is homemade including the rolls and dessert by Danny’s sister, who owns a bakery.
The two workers (Danny and a young woman) were very friendly and helpful.
I found the restaurant very clean and pleasantly decorated.

This place has clearly changed hands and we are not being told something. Ice machine is still broke, I see from a review left 2 wks ago. Horrible food handling, one glove on and one glove off. BBQ sauce was cold and not enough. Thank goodness I didn’t want sides bc they appeared to be left from lunchtime. I ate sausage so it wasn’t terrible. Will someone please report where Danny went?!

Good, hearty BBQ. Large portions. Only criticism is but run down inside. Could use a good cleaning, new paint. Condiments looked like they were old, not fresh. And for the start of the day, hardly any available.

Ordered the 2 meat mini plate which includes 2 sides and a drink. First the positives: It was very reasonably priced at 12 dollars and change. The pinto beans had fantastic flavor and were the highlight of the meal. The buttered and toasted bread included with the meal was also tasty. It is a very quiant BBQ joint that could probably use some updating but still has that small town BBQ joint vibe so it works.
Now for the negatives: Customer service needed some serious work. The employees made it seem to me like it was a bother to have to serve me. That may not have been the case but that was definitely the impression I got. The brisket was dry and had no flavor from the rub or the smoker, to me it tasted oven baked. Although the pork ribs were pull tender which is always a good thing they also had no flavor from either a rub or the smoke. The Mac and cheese was cold and lacked flavor as well.
I always like to give small non franchise BBQ joints in towns a try to see how good their food is. I was glad I stopped in but more than likely won’t be back.

I grew up in a small town and was looking for a local small town atmosphere with good ole fashioned BBQ. Danny’s didn’t disappoint. Good food, home-town feel. I’ll be back
