Sprayberry's Barbecue Description:
The original location of Sprayberry's Barbecue began as Houston Sprayberry's gas station, and converted to selling barbecue full time in 1926. Besides pit barbecue, Sprayberry's serves steaks, chicken, seafood, burgers, hot dogs, salads, pies, and Brunswick stew.
When the late Atlanta writer Lewis Grizzard extolled barbecue, he was talking about Sprayberry's. This is a popular spot for baby-back ribs despite the fact that the use of steam renders the meat a drab gray throughout and fairly flabby in texture. There is a quite good chopped-barbecue sandwich. Slaw is crispy and vinegar-dressed for a special tang. Brunswick stew is just fair. Pass up altogether the dry "barbecued" chicken breast. But don't miss the fast-disappearing fried pie, here made with real dried fruit cooked for hours with sugar until sweet and yielding. This family-owned operation has Newnan's ear on barbecue, but we've seen declines over the years in 'cue quality. Also located at 1060 Georgia Rte. 34 E., Newnan, 770-253-5080.
