“ I'll tell you what this restaurant right here has the best Southern barbecue in Smyrna and how do I know this because my dad used to eat there when it first opened and he knows the owners and that was about 1974 or 75 and he used to bring me to this restaurant when I was 8 years old and I'm telling you it's the best barbecue in Smyrna the people are friendly the food is good the service is outstanding just a great place to take your family and eat ”
“ Fabulous old Smyrna staple. They have been here as long as I can remember. The food is consistently good and the staff are always friendly. The construction on windy hill makes it a little frustrating to get to but it is so well worth a little frustration. Good food and good people. Everybody loves Old South. ”
“ Always great food and service here. The Brunswick stew is a family favorite. My son couldn't go with us, but he made sure we brought take-out home to him. ”
“ When you walk in you find a nice cozy,homey feeling inside. You can tell it's a spot the locals frequent. I was quickly greeted and told to set anywhere I chose. The young man came and took my drink order. I settled on slice beef,onion rings and Brunswick stew. Now I'm not a big fan of BBQ sauce. So I ordered a small sample of each on the side. I found my self frequently dipping my o rings and sliced beef in the regular and hot BBQ sauce. The sauce had a nice vinigary taste. I loved it. I was sad to see they didn't have collard greens or Mac n cheese as sides. However Mac n cheese bites were offered. I also ended up ordering something they call chocolate cobbler. That turned out to be a great choice. Now at the time of this review there is major construction going on out front. However don't let that discourage you,come give them a try. ”
