The Lawrenceville Country Club, aka, Gunter’s Barbeque

BRACK: Time for a new series around “Vanishing Gwinnett” theme

By Elliott Brack  |  In this space recently we wrote about Hometown Barbeque closing. Its forerunner was called Gunter’s Barbeque.

I have a framed 16×20 painting of Gunter’s, by the late George Keener, in my home hallway that I pass each day. When writing about Hometown Barbeque, I was wanting to have a photo of its predecessor, the old Gunter’s. It never came to mind that I had that painting.

BRACK: Lawrenceville’s “Country Club,” Hometown Barbeque, has closed

By Elliott Brack  |  For about 50 years, residents of Lawrenceville have traveled south a few miles on U.S. Highway 29 to eat at what was sometimes called “the Lawrenceville Country Club.”  Of course, there was no bona fide country club, with golf and tennis, in the area.
