The little mountain town of Clayton, Georgia is home to Oinkers BBQ...one of the area's most underrated barbecue joints! Tucked into this North Georgia town, it’s a small, laid-back spot where friendly faces greet you at the door and the smell of smoked meat fills the air. Locals gather here to catch up over plates of tender pulled pork, ribs, and the well-loved pork melt. Sides like creamy mac and cheese, baked beans, and fresh slaw round out every meal. Be sure to order the house-made pork rinds, served hot and still crackling at your table. Their North Carolina–style vinegar sauce adds a bold, tangy bite, and the sweet tea hits the spot. Save room for banana pudding or chocolate eclair cake. They’re only open a few days each week, so plan ahead.
