Gin House Barbeque
About This Spot

Inside, the atmosphere unfolds like a gathering of old friends around hearty, honest food. Whether you’re settling in for a casual breakfast or easing into an afternoon barbecue feast, the surroundings encourage relaxed conversations and shared moments. The kitchen’s skilled touch shines especially bright in dishes that evoke southern roots with a comforting home-cooked feel — think tender catfish, crispy fried pork chops, or a pulled pork sandwich piled high. Every plate carries subtle reminders of familiar flavors, a taste of regional tradition made fresh and real.
Beyond the food, the spirit of the place is shaped by attentive, friendly faces who add a personal touch without fanfare. The genuine hospitality and welcoming smiles create an understated warmth that makes you feel more like a returning guest than a first-time visitor. It's a spot where kids and adults alike find favorites to enjoy, and where generous portions leave no one wanting.

Stopped in late afternoon on a Saturday. The server Christy was quick to get our order and the food came out quickly. Everything was hot and excellent. Fried pork chops were moist and not dried out. Price was great. We need to eat here more often.

The catfish, okra, and green beans were amazing! I only wish I hadn’t ordered the large because it is HUGE!!! I am so glad our host recommended Ole Gin House! This brought back memories of my childhood in the south and my aunt making fresh catfish! Don’t pass by, stop!!

Great place to eat! I've been coming here my whole life. The food has always been great and my kids love it! Best stuffed potatoes around. They also have wings that are really good. The hush puppies are great too! Amazing bbq! And the best sweet tea you can get! I will always recommend Old Gin. It's not fast food, but it's good food and absolutely worth the wait! The staff are some of the sweetest people you could meet and I will continue giving them my business for years to come!
