Welcome to Local Joe’s – Cave Spring, Georgia
Southern barbecue, small-town charm.

Local Joe’s has become a beloved barbecue destination across the Southeast — and our Cave Spring location proudly carries that tradition into the heart of Georgia. As a franchised location, it brings the same smoky flavor, friendly faces, and hometown spirit that made the original famous.

Housed in what was once the town’s tiny post office, this cozy building now delivers something even better — slow-smoked barbecue, made-from-scratch sides, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere that locals and visitors alike can’t get enough of.

Known for its variety of smoked meats — including pork, turkey, baby back ribs, chicken, sausage, and ham — Local Joe’s Cave Spring serves up hearty plates and generous portions that keep folks coming back. Customers praise the delicious food, friendly service, and inviting environment that makes every meal feel like a community gathering.

The menu is rounded out with homemade sides, fresh-fried pork skins, baked goods, and a small market stocked with local products. Need to feed a crowd? Our full-service catering makes any event easier (and tastier).

Whether you’re strolling through downtown Cave Spring or planning a special event, stop in and experience why this little post office-turned-barbeque-joint has become one of Georgia’s favorite hidden gems.
