  5 stars all around! Our first time visiting Kiser’s in this location did not disappoint! From the time we walked in until we walked out, we felt welcome, comfortable, and appreciated. We ordered a variety to share. We ordered the individual sides, and they were VERY generous portions! More than enough for two to share! The meat portions on the sandwiches were also very generous, and the buns were toasty and warm, yet soft and delicious, the perfect kind of bun for good bbq! The flavor of the meat instantly hits in the first bite. Delish! The sweet sauce is very unique and flavorful…I picked up some appley (is that a word?) notes, which I absolutely loved. The stewed beans…holy moly! So so good with little chunks of bacon goodness (and sausage, I believe!) Again, like the sauce, very unique! Not the typical bbq beans. The cornmeal biscuits were fantastic, served with REAL BUTTER. The house made pickles and onions…YUM! Sweet tea…PERFECT! I can’t say a bad word about anything! I only wish we had enough room to eat every bite, but with the generous portions, we were filled to the brim! Can’t wait to try the house made smoke sausage next time! Super friendly, helpful, and attentive staff! Extra clean dining area and restrooms, and the kicker… ***BETTER THAN MYRON MIXON! We ate at the Myron Mixon restaurant in Gatlinburg several weeks ago, expecting to have the best barbecue ever. We couldn’t have been more disappointed. KISER’S blows that place out of the water!!! Meats, sides, service, the whole nine yards. Better BY FAR!!!

  Staff super friendly and attentive. Loaded fries where good made them better by adding my slaw from my chicken Sammy. The tenders are juicy could use some salt or flavor! The grilled cheese was the bomb..maybe less cheese as it took over the flavor of the brisket!! Would return!!

  The food for the most part is great. I wouldn't get the brisket it's not very flavorful at all and over priced. Everything else is fantastic. I've had it over 15 times. The shakedown street burger is a must try it is probably the best burger I've ever had. Their coleslaw is also fantastic. The habby sauce is great.

  I ordered takeout this time. The takeout entrance was clearly marked, the food was ready, and the cashier was friendly. And the food was beyond delicious. We're lucky to have this establishment in Athens.
