Old Clinton Bar-B-Q

The Old Clinton Bar-B-Q is a stop I would frequently make when I was working in Macon, GA. It is an old building full of history. I would have liked to have taken the time to get to know the place better but we always had to get back to work after eating. There website is http://www.oldclintonbbq.com/index.html. I always got the BBQ plate with BBQ pork, Brunswick Stew, potato salad, pickle, and bread.

The BBQ is chopped fine, typical of what I have found in Georgia (now that I have stereotyped it everyone is going to say that it isnt typical of what is in Georgia). The meat has red tint from the smoke, has a pretty good smoky flavor, and is fairly dry. You are given sliced bread to eat the meat with.

The sauce is thin and brown. Its mostly vinegar with some tomato sauce in it and spices. I also consider this type of sauce as typical for Georgia. I wouldnt say that the sauce is particularly special, but it has always been consistent. This is not my favorite type of sauce but it is good for this type of BBQ since the meat is fairly dry.

The potato salad is pretty standard for potato salad. But what is really good is the Brunswick Stew. I dont normally care for it but it is really good here. I could probably eat a whole bowl of it as a meal.

Gray GA is not a very big town. If I find myself in the area I would definitely go back to eat at Old Clinton Bar-B-Q.
