Local Joe's Cave Spring

We are new in town and stopped here because we wanted a cup of coffee. Turns out it wasn't what we thought it was but we decided to grab lunch instead. Boy am I glad we did! It is a cute little spot with music jammin outside, service was excellent and the food was DELICIOUS!! My husband got the Cuban and I got the BBQ pimento cheese and they were sooo good thay we had to go back the next day for another. Highly recommend this spot for some good BBQ.

Amazing BBQ place! The vibe is awesome and the food so great! The staff is friendly and they have a great selection of entrees and other items. 10 out of 10 recommend!

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 staple here. The staff was incredibly friendly. We even got to meet the owner who was working in the kitchen at the time. You can taste the love in their food.

The flavor may not be for everybody if your not open minded. I ordered the ribs with Brunswick stew and potato salad. I also got a small banana pudding. I was not too big of a fan of the barbecue sauce however the ribs were incredibly tender and delicious. Potato salad was okay, the Brunswick stew was out of this world. The banana pudding was just yummmmmy!

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 we thought the place was very cute and loved the cozy feel inside. It was a blast from the past to think that this building was the tiny post office in town when I was a child. The decor is cheerful and not overwhelming. We were glad there were no loud TVs playing, like so many restaurants have these days. The blues music they had on was pleasant and fit the theme.

We were a little surprised and disappointed that there is no kid's menu. It would've been nice to have more options for our daughter, like maybe a basic grilled cheese sandwich or something like that. She had the nachos and enjoyed them, but said the cheese was a little spicy 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 were sold out shortly after we had gotten our order.

My husband loved his BBQ pork sandwich and was happy they had Texas Pete on every table. I was a little surprised they didn't have different types of BBQ sauces on the tables to chose from, or even when ordering...it is the basic barbecue sauce, not the vinegar style. This wasn't a big deal, but wanted to mention it in case different sauces are your thing.

I just ordered some sides for myself. I wish there had been a "veggie plate" option, but I had to individually order the sides. The potato salad was absolutely delicious...some of the best I've ever had! I also had baked beans, macaroni and cheese, and vinegar slaw. It was all great, although I wish the cabbage had been chopped up a little bit more 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 my husband liked it, so we brought it home for him. I also got an additional side of potato salad and baked beans to take home, because they were so yummy!

The staff were super friendly and efficient the entire time we were there. The restaurant is very clean and pleasant and I recommend trying it, especially if you love BBQ! Oh, they also have some desserts and baked goods that looked really good. I was too full, but we will have to get some of that next time. Happy to have this little place so close to home in our little town!

Southern BBQ gem in the one stoplight town of Cave Springs, GA. Walking distance from the cave in Rolater Park. Delicious meats, beans and fresh salads. The staff makes you feel like family. If you are passing through or on the hunt for great BBQ, definitely worth a stop.

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 customers everyday in addition to the regular menu items, and friendly pricing too. It's Not Over the Top, but good comfort food. Tastes delicious great atmosphere in a quiet intimate dining experience,maybe a little louder when they're packed but it's still fun experience great for families and friends traveling through Cave Springs just down the street from the main part of town off the beaten path almost a Secret but everybody should know this place is one of The Great Places To Eat!

If you're ever in Cave Spring do yourself a favor and grab a bite here. Their pulled pork is next level delicious. Try the Cuban sandwich or Peminto BBQ melt if you dig sandwiches. The atmosphere is rocking bluesy and the service is exemplary. My new favorite restaurant.

The food and the staff are great ! Very friendly and easy going. It’s the “y’all come again” attitude that is exactly what you would expect from a small town USA!

Visiting this town & found this cute friendly place. Employees are very attentive & so polite... Order was fast and perfectly done.
Cuban sandwich and vinegar slaw

EDITED: Back again n had to stop by for the brisket, stew n vinegar slaw.

Great hometown BBQ, staff was amazing on all points! Helped out with order for the finicky guest like a champ! Food was really good too. worth the 110 mile drive we made to eat there.

This place has amazing food. My husband got the ribs, my mom got the brisket, and I had the smoked turkey BLT with tomato chutney. Ya'll, when I say that this is the best sandwich I have ever eaten...it was amazing. I was kinda surprised I have never had tomato chutney before. This stuff set the sandwich up and put it in another atmosphere!

This is a hidden gem in the back of town, with good barbecue, smiling staff, and a nice small sit down area. Me and my wife have eaten her more than once and the food has always been on par with flavor and quantity. The staff has been polite, but this isn't a sit down, sever comes over, type of place. You go up, order, and then get your food and sit or take it home. The atmosphere is modest but clean and tidy. The food is wonderful if you want something with flavor and need a little variety or if you like barbecue. They have a great Brunswick stew, which everyone else seems to run out of for some reason. This is a + to go try if you are visiting and in town.

My dad and I went in there to get something to snack on. This lovely lady was super sweet and got us a sample of everything. The food was amazing. We got smoked turkey, brisket, pulled pork, and sausage. Definitely recommend eating there.

Love, love, love coming to this place. Food is always great. They're always jamming good music. It's just a feel-good atmosphere.

Best bbq in Floyd County, and best place to eat in Cave Springs.

Freaking delicious every time I go... Clean environment. Very polite staff. Totally worth the trip..

Walked in had never been there before the lady at the counter gave us samples of the sauce and helped us thoroughly. The food was good as well but the service put it over the top.

Their food is always amazing! I will always love eating there! I got the BBQ Nachos and they were amazing!

Had the nachos & they were delicious! Adorable local small town feel, when we arrived we were welcomed by 4 horses and their cowboys outside which was a cool surprise! Paid $30 for 2 people including tip! Nice prices, great food, service was great too! Very low key relaxing place with very nice people! Highly recommend!

As I’m enduring my 3 hour wait at Linda Marie’s I walked down and picked up a sample plate from Local Joes. WOW, smoked turkey is some of the best I’ve had. Pork is also great. Highly recommend!! Next time I’m in town I’ll save some time and eat at Local Joes

I give you 4 stars today cause I have eat there many times but today it was really skimpy on sauce and baked beans..so hope next time will be better..8/16/23
