Smoke Bourbon & BBQ
Where: 1047 Broadway, Columbus, GA 31901

Review: “This restaurant was beyond accommodating for us and both of our fur babies. They immediately set up a nice table for us, just outside the main entrance and the bartender agreed to be our waiter so the waitresses wouldn’t have to go outside. He was so nice to our dogs and even offered bowls of water, but we had brought our own,” wrote Jessica.
