What does BBQ have to do with real estate?  We love highlighting our local community here in Cherokee County, Ga and what our area has to offer.

Barbecue is almost a rite of passage in the South and something that we love here at Goad Home Partners.

Four 41 South is, in our opinion, some of the best BBQ in Canton, GA. We had the pleasure to sit down with owner/operator, Kevin Ward, and we got to chop it up (no pun intended) on who they are, what they are about, how they got started, and how they interact with our local community. Located in the heart of Canton they are the go-to BBQ joint for lunch, dinner, and catering.

Owner/Operator, Kevin Ward, got his start cooking, grilling, and growing up around a family who loved to do the same. These skills were instilled in him in an early age. He grew to teach barbecue classes and even Big Green Egg classes in the local community. In 2011 he left the corporate world to start Four 41 South and that's how it all began.

The community has been a big support for Kevin and his business.

"The community around here is amazing. We get support from just about everybody in the community. You know the past couple of years have been crazy and it's so it's so heartwarming to know that our community has just been behind us and supported us to make sure we can make it through because there's a lot of a lot of small businesses that didn't."

"Were huge supporters of our first responders/law enforcement. We do as much as we can for them the school, school system, sponsoring sports, teachers you know providing meals for them at times and things like that."

Kevin's favorite menu items include 100% smoked wings and burger night on Fridays featuring house-ground burgers with brisket trimmings. They even have a french toast burger with spicy maple syrup. What!
