Reviews for Local Joe's Cave Spring in Cave Spring, GA
Chicken nachos were wonderful. I enjoyed the pork plate. Potato salad was really good! Would not order the Brunswick stew again... and the Mac and cheese was a bit dry. Banana pudding was good. Brisket has a lot of fat. Corn bread was a bit dry?I should haveasked for some butter for it. Pretty small space but we were there on a festival weekend?so busier than usual? nice outdoorseating spaces though. If we go back, we?ll find what we like and stick to ordering such. Read more
Even though we only live a mile away, this was our first visit to Local Joe's. I'm not a meat-eater, but my husband had really... been wanting to try it after being able to smell it all over town. The smokey BBQ pit fragrance lured him in! Right away wethought the place was very cute and loved the cozy feel inside. It was a blast from the past to think that this building was thetiny post office in town when I was a child. The decor is cheerful and not overwhelming. We were glad there were no loud TVsplaying, like so many restaurants have these days. The blues music they had on was pleasant and fit the theme. We were a littlesurprised and disappointed that there is no kid's menu. It would've been nice to have more options for our daughter, like maybea basic grilled cheese sandwich or something like that. She had the nachos and enjoyed them, but said the cheese was a littlespicy for her. (It wasn't too spicy for an adult though.) She also had a side of macaroni and wanted to get more, but they weresold out shortly after we had gotten our order. My husband loved his BBQ pork sandwich and was happy they had Texas Pete onevery table. I was a little surprised they didn't have different types of BBQ sauces on the tables to chose from, or even whenordering...it is the basic barbecue sauce, not the vinegar style. This wasn't a big deal, but wanted to mention it in casedifferent sauces are your thing. I just ordered some sides for myself. I wish there had been a "veggie plate" option, but I hadto individually order the sides. The potato salad was absolutely delicious...some of the best I've ever had! I also had bakedbeans, macaroni and cheese, and vinegar slaw. It was all great, although I wish the cabbage had been chopped up a little bitmore in the slaw. I also took a chance and got a bowl of Brunswick stew. It was a little too thick and meaty for me, but myhusband liked it, so we brought it home for him. I also got an additional side of potato salad and baked Read more
You can walk in this place and feel the positive energy. The atmosphere here just makes you excited to be here. The food was a... little different than what I'm used to. It still was exceptional in taste and quality. This locally owned restaurant is a staplehere. The staff was incredibly friendly. We even got to meet the owner who was working in the kitchen at the time. You can tastethe love in their food. The flavor may not be for everybody if your not open minded. I ordered the ribs with Brunswick stew andpotato salad. I also got a small banana pudding. I was not too big of a fan of the barbecue sauce however the ribs wereincredibly tender and delicious. Potato salad was okay, the Brunswick stew was out of this world. The banana pudding was justyummmmmy! Read more

Think of it as a catering business that runs a restaurant,attention to high quality food that the owner puts his own twist on... and makes amazing food fair. Yes specials all the time. The chef makes a few different and special menu items for his customerseveryday in addition to the regular menu items, and friendly pricing too. It's Not Over the Top, but good comfort food. Tastesdelicious great atmosphere in a quiet intimate dining experience,maybe a little louder when they're packed but it's still funexperience great for families and friends traveling through Cave Springs just down the street from the main part of town off thebeaten path almost a Secret but everybody should know this place is one of The Great Places To Eat!

This was a nice barbeque place. Not amazing but not pricey either. We got the family brisket and it feed two adults and three... children with leftovers for later. All in all it was good food. Read more
