Southern Boys BBQ, open just six weeks, is catering tailgating traditions that have been going on longer than it has been in business. Based in the shopping center with Talbots across South Main Street from the Georgia Southern University campus, Southern Boys is owned by Stephen Maenpaa and Woody Pumphrey. While Maenpaa manages the restaurant, Pumphrey operates his other business, Woody's T-Shirts & Scrubs, which he launched about three years ago, on Fair Road across from the fairgrounds.
