I've had the chance to try many things at the Douglasville Retail Meat and Smokehouse and everything is great. The Hot Buffet isn't much more than a value meal at a fast food restaurant, but it really blows it away. 1/2 pound of cooked meat (Certified Angus Beef brisket, pulled pork, smoked ribs w/ BBQ sauce and smoked chicken) w/ 2 sides (great green beans w/ bacon) and a huge piece of corn bread for only $6.99. I don't know how they do it.
If you like jerky, you'll love this place, especially the venison jerky. If you like Cajun, the boudin and fresh andouille is great (and you don't have to go to a restaurant to get it!). He does Turducken and stuffed chickens too (I think you have to call and order those in advance).
If you want to talk about cooking, smoking, barbeque or chili cook offs and competitions, the owner David Widaski has been in the meat business over 30 years and is a wealth of information. You have to check out the rib and steak vidoes on YouTube under Atlanta Butcher. He keeps a ton of cookbooks in the store and even has free wifi and a computer to look up recipes.
I am on their weekly coupon list that you can sign up for at the store where he offers some great specials.
Just stop in, it's only a couple miles south of I-20 exit 34 on the left just after you turn on to Kings Highway from Hwy 5. You won't be disappointed. David, Sabrina and crew do a great job at customer service.
