That would be great for Barnesville to have an OB's. The more variety the better. We eat out a lot.

I find it moderately interesting that an OB's Barbecue may be coming to my hometown. I am much more excited to learn, though, that the Big Chic will still be there. When I first started reading the post, I thought the Big Chic was closing. Now, that would be a tragedy.

When I come home and am there long enough to eat out, there are two places I want to go.

One is the Big Chic, which has the fourth best fried chicken I've ever tasted. First is my wife's, second was my mother's, third is Carter's Fried Chicken in Adel, GA, and then Big Chic. The only fried chicken I ever had in Barnesville that beat the Big Chic was the broasted chicken at the Old Dairy D'Lite that was on Hwy 341 in front of Burnette's Thriftown Grocery (now the Dollar General) back in the 1970s.

The other place I try to eat is the Country Kitchen. I've had plenty of catfish that is just as good as theirs (Old McDonald's Fish Camp across the Savannah River from Augusta, The Catfish House near Reed Bingham State Park in Cook County), but the Country Kitchen has, hands down, the best cole slaw in the world.

Cant wait till someone decides to put in a real restaurant. Something nice, where you can sit down and actually get a good meal!

I have ate there once.... was not impressed. Might have been a bad day for the cook, but my food was bad enough I walked out and went to Longhorns!!
