Traveling to Augusta, as I was lucky to receive some fix for the Tue practice round of the Masters. 4 of us will be road tripping to Georgia (from PA) and are looking for the right town to stay in for 4 nights within about 90 mins of Augusta, we are flying in to Atlanta but want to stay in a small town that can keep us entertained for at least 2 nights of bbq and drinks. Any guidance from Georgia residents or others would be appreciated especially for the food and any distilleries worth visiting. Thanks

22" Weber Kettle w/SNS, 18" WSM, Bronco, Grilla Chimp, Traeger Tailgater, UDS, Camp Chef Tahoe Stove.
In my various travels doing construction, I lived in Augusta for about a year back in the day. I don’t remember any good q places, but the French Market Grill in Augusta stayed with me. This was over 30 years ago, so I am not sure if it is still good, but back then it was pretty great.
i actually got to go to the Masters in 86 when Nicklaus won.

Retired, living in Western Mass. Enjoy music, cooking and my family.
Current cookers Weber Spirit 3 burner. A 22" Kettle with vortex SnS and OnlyFire pizza oven. A Smokey Joe and the most recent addition a Pit Barrel Jr with bird hanger, 4 hooks and cover. ThermoWorks Smoke 2 probe, DOT, ThermoPop and a Thermapen Mk4. Recently added 2 TempSpike wireless meat thermometers.
Well not much in that area of Augusta and assume you booked your flights. If not you might want to look at Savanah. A great area.. Can't speak specifically for BBQ, but great southern cooking and hospitality. If you are locked into the ATL., plenty to do. Stay west of the city. Since Augusta is your destination. Honestly I'm not familiar with that area west. But I spent a lot of time in the ATL downtown north and northwest . Never was lacking.
Enjoy sounds like a a good time coming
