Crossroad Barbecue Menu

Crossroad Barbecue is a down-home Georgia barbecue restaurant serving chopped or sliced pork, smoked chicken, ribs when available, fried catfish, shrimp, burgers, chicken strips, loaded fries, Brunswick stew, and traditional Southern sides. Cold bottled drinks and sweet treats such as fried apple pie or tarts complete the casual menu. Local favorites include the barbecue pork sandwich, catfish with grits, chopped pork plates, and rich Brunswick stew. A barbecue plate with two sides is an excellent first order, while whole or half chicken works well for sharing.

A recent public listing shows sandwiches around $7 and a half-pint of stew near $4, although many current prices are not displayed online. Reviews consistently describe the portions as generous and affordable. Tender smoked meat, crisp fried fish, creamy coleslaw, hearty beans, and tangy barbecue sauce create a satisfying balance of smoky, savory, sweet, and fresh flavors.

Vegetarian choices are mainly sides such as coleslaw, potato salad, baked beans, fries, and grits. Gluten-free items are not formally marked, so sauces, breading, fryers, and cross-contact should be confirmed. Chicken strips, burgers, fries, and mild barbecue are child-friendly. Although the restaurant opens at 9 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, the menu is better suited to lunch, dinner, takeout, family meals, and casual group gatherings than a traditional breakfast.

Menu Highlights

Chopped Pork Barbecue Sandwich
Tender smoked pork fills a soft bun with rich, savory flavor. Coleslaw adds cool crunch, making this the restaurant’s best-known combination.

Brunswick Stew
Slow-cooked meat and vegetables create a thick, deeply comforting stew. Its hearty texture makes it a classic companion to barbecue plates.

Fried Catfish
Catfish is fried until crisp and golden while remaining moist and flaky inside. Served with grits or traditional sides, it is a standout Southern favorite.

Barbecue Ribs
Available at selected times, the ribs offer smoky seasoning and tender, richly flavored meat. Their limited availability adds to their appeal.

Smoked Chicken
Half or whole chicken delivers a savory exterior and juicy center. The generous format makes it especially suitable for families and groups.

Fried Apple Pie
A crisp pastry shell surrounds a warm, sweet apple filling. This nostalgic dessert is frequently recommended as the ideal finish to a barbecue meal.
