Pippins Bar-B-Q Menu

Sorry, We are updating this restaurant menu details.

    We tried Pippins for the first time since living here in Conyers for 6 years. Our loss because this place is pretty good. Saves me from having to go all across Atlanta to get good BBQ. Quick service and great food.

    I love the small town, hole in the wall, feel of this place! I eat here at least once a week and get the chicken salad sandwich. Sooo good! Super friendly, they know me and my order when I walk in the door! Great food at a great price. The inside could use some remodeling/updating.

    Taste like it was left over and reheated. Definitely wouldn't recommend, if you like good BBQ don't eat here.

    Pippins is always good. Like most good barbecue joints they are closed Sunday and Monday. It is true hole in the wall. Don't let the outside fool you. The food is excellent. They have some great deals on the lunch plates. They have two basic sauces. The regular is more vinegar based and the rib sauce is a sweeter sauce. Both are great, it just depends on your preference. It is great place to for lunch. While open for dinner, other than take out its not my first choice.

    For openers, they have pig plaques, or more accurately plaques of pigs from all perspectives: any way you'd like to look at a pig: from the front, the side or, well, you get the idea... and a newspaper certificate proclaiming Pippins to have been "Voted #1 Barbecue...." on the wall and that probably is more than you thought you wanted to know and nothing about how good the barbecue here really is. Actually you should get a pretty fair idea of how good its going to be when you pull up in front..., Pippins is a shack, no bars on the window and not in a terrible part of town, all of which usually mean good to great barbecue, but somehow you know this shack is going to be home to some good 'cue. The scent of hickory is in the air. And you'd be right if that's what you expect. Next door to a church (for overflow parking and where the pitmaster likely goes on Sunday andMondays when they are closed), around since 1986, Pippins has some very good barbecue at some very low prices and not a few eccentricities (aside from the pork plaques)... For one thing you order and pay at the counter and the nice young woman (a Twila if ever I saw one) gives you a number for when your order is ready . Three to five minutes later, Twila calls our number, thing is we are the only two folks in the p;lace... no one else, no bringing it to the table, no "your food's up," no "come and get it," just a loud "36." Thirty-six (as we were now known) had the chopped pork plate and baby back rib plate ($7.95 and $12.49), each with fries, slaw, Brunswick Stew, and bread (in a plastic bag - not sure why). The thing is this, the Pippins (surely they wouldn't have made a name like that up - there must be a Mr and Mrs Pippins behind this two store operation) apparently decided that Brunswick stew, fries and slaw go best when you eat their barbecue, because, like it or not, those are the sides you're going to get. No options. Sorry but it's stew, fries and slaw. Thed Brown Shoe Gourmet found their ribs (six of them plus one tip) to be excellent: good smoke flavor without being overwhelming and even the short end was moist. And a bargain for the price. The pork, including some from the charred outside, was also good. Some fat left for flavor and, like the ribs, a generous serving. Now a word about their mandatory sides: Good. Very good when it comes to those crinkly obviously frozen French fries, a Brunswick stew that rival.ed that of once Gold Standard Harold's and a finely chopped slaw that borders on world-class. Pippins has three sauces: sweet (too), mild (our choice) and Carolina for tourists who have made a wrong turn. Also a word about their tea: Excellent. Don't know how some folks make half and half (if you don't know, there's no sense asking) tea better than others, but Pippins has great tea. A stand alone shack with pig plaques on the wall, the scent ofr hickory in the air, red checkered vinyl table cloths and Twila taking your order and calling your number - you knew it was going to b e good and it was. And for 12 bucks, a tee shirt to adde to the collection. Pippins, in Conyers where we found them, and in Covington which might have been closer, very good 'cue with strong (albeit mandatory) sides, three decent sauces and best of class tea. Number 36 will be back.

    Excellent BBQ, but a hole-in-the-wall for ambience. I had a pork plate with Brunswick stew and baked beans - all good, but the pork was especially worth the visit.

    How refreshing! This is the way a good barbecue joint is supposed to look. No fancy strip mall location with nick knacks everywhere. This place is rundown, ugly, with absolutely no decor. And I'm not being sarcastic, I appreciate the dive barbecue joint. It means they are paying attention to their craft, and not the frilly outward appearance of their real estate. Pippin's had been around for a while now, and recently is facing stiff competition from across the street and from the chain mega joint down the road. But on the Saturday I was there, you couldn't tell. They were pretty busy. I ordered a pork plate which comes with Q, slaw, stew, fries and bread. I was a bit surprised that I didn't get to pick the sides, but that's no bother. The Q comes finely chopped but not to the point of being minced. It has a nice smokey taste that isn't overpowering. And there is a bit of outside meat in there for extra flavor. I think I would have enjoyed more here though. They also sauce it from the kitchen, which I didn't care for. But there is enough flavor that you still taste the meat through the sauce. It was good on the plain wonder bread they serve. The stew was just fair, more of a slop consistency. I wasn't a huge fan of it, but still ate it all. The fries were frozen crinkle cut and were cooked to a perfect crisp. I also appreciated their low prices. The pork plate was $7 and change. They also had some good specials for a sandwich and stew. All in all, I enjoyed it a lot. Is it worth going out of you way for? Maybe. If you're on the east side, then heck yeah.
