Venue Review: The Swallow at the Hollow
accessAtlanta
(04/27/2006) The funky setting, in a knotty pine barn, evokes images of Li'l Abner and Daisy Mae (actually, it feels a little like the Okefenokee Swamp ride that used to be at Six Flags). There's a boat up front filled with ice and beer. Barbecue and lots of other dishes, including a mighty fine portobello mushroom sandwich and some house-made sausage are cooking behind the line. But honestly, the biscuits here are worth their fluffy weight in gold -- 2 inches high and slit in half, then grilled with butter. Little plastic cups of honey come on the side.
Still so good after all these years. Took our 2 boys today for lunch before school starts back. GREAT smoky flavor to the pork. Wonderful meal. Large portions...enough for a school lunch tomorrow. Loved the cole slaw and pretty much everything about it. Will go again.
A friend took me...expected so much as an Atlanta native...
God so little... cold fries??
sauce from a bottle? generic (at best) service? cold chewy meat? thank god my friend paid for it I would sent it back (it was mid afternoon, but no excuse). for 'generic bbq' fine (maybe for a low end chain) but the REP of this place is HUGE...how does it stay in business for these prices?
and very tricky to find!
