Saucehouse BBQ CATERING & Pickup - Athens, Georgia

We had an amazing experience at Saucehouse BBQ today with a party of 45-50, and they handled it perfectly! The staff was courteous, efficient, and welcoming. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Christopher Belk, and the manager, Ms. Linda, both of whom made sure everything ran smoothly. Despite the large group, the service was fast, and the food was fantastic! I ordered the pulled pork with nachos, cheese, and salsa, along with mac ’n cheese and beans—everything was delicious. The sweet tea was great, and the banana pudding was excellent!

The indoor seating is spacious and comfortable, perfect for large groups, and the outdoor seating area is just as impressive! There are games for groups to enjoy outside, porch swings on the wrap-around porch, and rocking chairs to relax in. Whether you’re dining solo or with a big group, I highly recommend Saucehouse BBQ! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very cool fast casual/cafeteria style BBQ joint. I got the Nachos with brisket, collard greens, fried ocra, and the rum yum yum cake. It was a HUGE amount of food and all so good. I was on a work trip and was soo disappointed I couldn't take my leftovers. I'm not usually a fan of rum cake but their take was so good. The sauce wall was great too!

Our family was in town for Freshman Orientation and we’re looking for a convenient place to eat. Saucehouse was very close to where we were staying, located on the corner of W Broad and N Church. We all ordered the 1/4 lb pulled pork plate, but each of us got different sides. That worked well, as we got to sample a variety of tastes. Everything was pretty tasty, and the wide selections of sauce at the sauce station made sure you could fine tune to a taste you enjoyed. For example, my collard greens were good on their own, but the addition of E Carolina sauce made pushed them to very good.

Be sure to mention if you are a first-time visitors, they will take care of you!

3 1/4 plates, no drinks, $43.74 before tip.

Nice ambiance with a patio and a porch as well as ample indoor seating.

The menu has a lot of choices and even more choices for sauces, true to its name.
Everything I ate was solid. No complaints. But nothing stood out either with the possible exception of the bread pudding. The bread pudding would have been even better with vanilla ice cream I think. Might try that next time.

I will come back at least once more to try a few more dishes and maybe change my mind and rate them higher than 4 stars

Excellent barbecue! Moist and super tasty. I had the brisket, but our party also had the chicken and the pulled pork. Everybody really enjoyed the barbecue.
We came here at the recommendation of a friend who works here. Ethan. He had told us about the quality of food and we decided to check it out. He was right!

The ordering process can be a little daunting for a first timer, but you basically pick out what kind of barbecue you want and then bread/potato and sides.

After you get your drink and pick out a table coming there is a bar of different barbecue sauces. Probably 12 or so. I tried three different ones and they were all great. It's a great place to try out new flavors.

The slaw had a vinegary taste, but it was delicious just a little more tangy than I was expecting. But I actually enjoyed it.
Fried okra was excellent.

There is a lot of seating indoors and an outside porch. There's also a bar / patio area that looks like it would be fun for a game day.

This would be a great place for family dinners, groups of friends or a casual date night. I wouldn't do a first date it might be a little too casual... Maybe a third date!

There is a good bit of parking, and they seem to own the venue next door. I'm not sure of parking is allowed there. We didn't have an issue. It might get crowded on a game day or weekend night.

Thanks again to Ethan for recommending that we stop by.

Great food! Great BBQ! It’s hard to find good BBQ, it’s different than GA BBQ but nonetheless delicious. I’ve been going here for years and now that I’m no longer an Athens resident I’ve dearly missed it.
