Southern Soul Barbeque
St. Simons, United States
Since 2006, this joint has been working oak-fired pits with the kind of single-minded focus that comes from knowing exactly what you're after. Whole hog, ribs, turkey, chicken, brisket — all slow-smoked over local oak, no gas, no shortcuts. They make four barbecue sauces in-house and sides that belong on the plate.
Open seven days a week on Demere Road, Southern Soul does the work and lets the smoke speak. The barbecue has drawn attention from Southern Living, Garden & Gun, and the Food Network, but the point was never the recognition — it was always the pig.
