Tookes Country BBQ

This place is amazing. They have the best bbq food ever and the peach cobbler is on the top. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. 13 years in business and still moving. Go and support this business

Great food. Had the chopped pork bbq plate, and the sandwich had so much bbq it was falling out. Also great Cole slaw, just the right amount of sweetness. Also peach cobbler. And friendly folks and plenty of food.

OMG! If you love authentic southern «BBQ» then you’ll love «Tookes BBQ» the chicken plate is to «live for» the chicken falls off of the bone and melts in your mouth, simply «flavor upon flavor» this is definitely one of Georgia’s best keep secret!
Mr. Tookes is very personable w/​a heart of gold, you can just tell that he appreciates each customer. He gives his customer a chance to experience the history of what authentic southern BBQ really taste like. If your every in Rex, Ga stop by «Tookes BBQ» I assure you that it won’t disappoint. Enjoy!
Oh. One more thing try the home made potato salad its Mm. Mm. Good!

This is closer to Atlanta than you think just zip down Moreland and bam! This is the best BBQ I’ve had in the south period!!! The portions are grandiose!!!

This place is incredible. Yes it looks like a shack on the side of the road, but aren’t those the best places sometimes?
The food was all around delicious and perfectly cooked. The bbq sauce was flavorful and not over powering like some can be. And the owner, Mr. Tookes, waits on you himself at times. He makes sure everything is just the way you want it.
The only thing I’m mad about, is that I lived just a few miles down the road for years and never knew this place and never knew this palace was there… until now. We will definitely be going back!

The place is T-​I-​N-​Y and rough. The menu is limited but they still managed to get our order wrong. The food was passable but nothing special. The counter clerk was completely disinterested. Bottom line: They offer no customer service and forgettable food. p. s. They are NOT honoring
certificates.

Decent ribs. Tasty potato salad. The greens needed a bit more seasoning and a little longer in the pot. All together good, but we’ve had better. Probably won’t be back.

I used to go to Tookes Country BBQ around 5 years ago and they were great. But boy have they changed. I agree with Sharonda R. you’re paying for fat and very little meat. One rib had nothing on it but fat. I believe that management is trying to cut corners and buy cheap cuts of meat. The potato salad and cole slaw was very good but I didn’t go there for this. The BBQ Chicken was just ok. The BBQ sauce was mostly salt. If you’re watching your salt intake please beware. I spend the rest of the day drinking water to compensate for all that salt I ate. We also bought two little potato pies. They are in 4 inch little foil tray and they look as if they were baked in a little girls Easy Bake Oven. The cost: $ 7 for both. They were not all that good either. For that price I could have bought a whole pie. The folks are still very friendly but their product has gone downhill fast. We ordered two meals a Chicken BBQ and Rib BBQ with two sides each (Potato and Cole Slaw Salad) and with those two baby pies came out to $ 32.69. Next time I will go across the street to Sarges Rib Shack and see how they are (I’ve never been there). I’ll leave a review for them as well.

I am so in love with this place. I always get the smoked link sausage with bake beans and Mac n cheese. N dip the sausage in the BBQ. Feel like I am in haven. excellent customer service treatment you like family.

I purchased the ½ slab combo, with Mac and cheese and potato salad. I was not pleased, the meat was fall off the bone when there was meat. The bones literally supported just the fat. I’ve never seen that much fat on ribs, it was disgusting. The Mac and cheese was sad, a dish so hard to mess up was missing the cheese. It was dry and flavor less. The potato salad was different, in a good way. Full of flavor and kind of sweet. I wouldn’t recommend the ribs, I prefer more meat on my bones!!!

Very consistent BBQ, ribs literally fall off the bone. Go for the ½ slab combo, mac n cheese and green beans — sauce on the «side.» My personal favorite. Never fails. If you’re traveling down 675 or 75 it’s worth going on the off beaten path. Going down 42? Stop by. Good food. Limited seating and wait can be long «as with good food places» — call in your order and it will be ready in 10min.

I was born in a little town in West TN called Humboldt. This place took me back in time. From the way the screen door (remember those!) slammed to the fact that the floor is not quite level, this place is as authentic as authentic can get. I do not like ribs that are cooked dry & then you put your own sauce at the table. This place cooks dry ribs & I loved them! I believe that there are 3 levels of sauce so that should cover most peoples pallets. It started raining when I was there & that sound on that tin roof brought back so many good memories. The ribs basically come well done so if you are a rare meat aficionado, this is NOT your place. What kept me from 5 stars, do not get the sides. Frankly they were horrible LOL.
If you like ribs/​pulled pork with sweet, spicy sauce, this as close as you can get outside of S. Kakalaka…

This place is awesome I love the pulled pork sandwich and the smoke link sausage

I went to Tookes, after I had taken a Buddy to The Mustard Seed BBQ in the Cascade area, and his comments was it was just as good. The Ribs cooked by the owned David Tookes where done right – I requested the Large end and could ownly eat half my order of the rib sanwich cause it was so fulling – fully cooked ribs moist and tasty with an option of sweet or spicy bbq sauce, both were good.
David is the only one who can approve samples and he allowed me to try before you buy the rib tips and the ribs, he had sold out on the bbq chicken, his story of starting out on the street corner and working his was up to a store now 8yrs. strong, was a feel good story, nice guy Q that does’nt dissapoint. I re-​warmed the last half of my order the next day and it was just as tasty, yummy… did it raise the level of The Mustard Seed, No! but the personality of the food was different (if you cook you’ll my drift,) would I go back?, definately!!! – David fm Tooksville Georgia is a stand up small BusinessMan who deserves community love and support all through the winter and summer… As per Kenneth G, his family help needs training, a smile and an
attitude of gratitude… time will tell or $$$ will walk.

I had the sliced pork sandwich and the smoked sausage. What a great little spot. The sausage was amazing. Everything was a bit greasy but that is where the flavor comes from so it is hard to complain. I would just not eat here too often. Great screened in porch/​patio and an awesome produce stand next door. I will be back many times when I get into the area.
