In addition to smoked pit barbecue, the Du-Roc Cafe, on Marquis Drive

(off Ga. Highway 54) in Fayetteville serves up a mighty fine catfish plate

on Thursdays.

Accompanied by fries and cole slaw, the special satisfies that occasional

catfish craving that bites even the most devoted barbecue lover.

Du-Roc is a favorite destination for Fayette County diners in search of

traditional beef, pork and chicken barbecue. The plates are served with

stew, cole slaw and cornbread.

For man-size appetites, there's "The Dudley Du-Rocker Special,"

a bodacious barbecue combo of pork or beef with ribs and chicken.

Spud lovers can have theirs baked and barbecued when they order the Du-Roc

Classic - the baked stuffed potato, filled with pork or beef 'cue

and topped with sour cream and cheese.

Barbecue sandwiches, wings and a limited variety of grill fare such as

hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chargrilled chicken, round out the menu.

A "Little Piglets" menu which offers the younger set a scaled-down

version of the adult items, plus a corn dog and grilled cheese sandwich,

aim to please.

Peach or blackberry cobbler, with or without a scoop of ice cream, is

the perfect finale to a good country meal.

Du-Roc is open for business Tuesday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

and Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. The restaurant is closed

Sunday and Monday.
