Billy Meadow's Station (Colbert, GA)

 6729 GA-72, Colbert, GA, USA

 

Billy Meadow's Station is a big house/shack off the GA-72 that serves only a few items: grilled cheese sandwiches, hot dogs, coleslaw, and various chips/crisps. This notwithstanding, it has survived for a long time and I found out why today.

I get a Chili Dog and a Chili Slaw Dog (together $5.70). The bun and "dog" are pretty standard, except that they grill the buns on both sides, giving them a bit of a smoked flavor and nice crunch. Both dogs come with relatively light ketchup, mustard, and onions , but it is the chili that makes the difference. It has an excellent flavor, bit sweet and bit smoky, which means even a relatively modest amount does the trick. The slaw is chunky and not overly mayo-y, soothing the taste.

 

VERDICT: 92/100

I now know why Billy Meadow's Station survives: it does a simply thing really well. This is exactly the type of place this blog is about. Will be back for sure!
