Griffin Bufkin and Harrison Sapp, owners of Southern Soul Barbeque unarguably make the best barbecue to be had in the Golden Isles and they also make sure the whole experience is fun at their gas station turned restaurant on St. Simons. Nationally acclaimed for good reason, Southern Soul Barbeque has been featured on the Food Network, The Travel Channel, The Wall Street Journal, Southern Living Magazine, Garden & Gun Magazine and too many other accolades to mention! This is low-key barbecue at its best; know that you will leave reeking of smoke (especially if you sit at a picnic table outside), and that you may have trouble picking a favorite from the four sauces they make!
