Site of the Former “Bonner’s Private Cub.
Town Square, Crawfordsville, GA. Here hangs the long tale of how I finally found my Georgia Barbecue!! Soon after Suzanne and I came to South Carolina, we discovered a very nice southern small town restaurant in Crawfordville, GA. Several times on trips to Atlanta, we would go back for a bit more "down home southern cooking". I have many memories of the area, since the original home and plantation of Confederate Vice-President Alexander Stephens (open to the public) is also at Crawfordville. We took our three children to the plantation when they were small, and I have revisited the plantation more recently. .. On our first visit to Crawfordville I couldn't find the restaurant! I circled the Courthouse Square three times wondering where the “down town” businessman’s restaurant was. ALL small towns have at least one!! I finally spotted "Bonner's Private Club". Hummmmm. I wonder what that is? Well, to make a long story short …. Our family marched right into the "private club” andhad a good noon meal! We later figured out that the restaurant had been “re-named’ to block integration! This was the late 70's!
