    Great protein options. Brisket was very tender and juicy. The house bbq sauce was also very good.

    Brisket Plate: Brisket was super tender and more on the roasted side of the spectrum.

    Absolutely the worst BBQ ever! I walked in and expected great things. I knew when I asked did they…read morehave baby back ribs and the cashier said I'm not sure and just stood there with no response I was in trouble. I ordered two racks of ribs a full chicken a pint of Cole slaw, baked Beans and Mac and cheese. The sides were horrible. The Cole slaw was put in a food processor and chopped so it was like a sauce and overly sweet. The baked beens were mah and the Mac and cheese was over cooked and inedible! After waiting 45 min for my food I asked how much longer. I was told that they were out of chicken and they had to make more. I asked how much longer would it take and the woman responds with I don't know with a blank stare. I asked if she could find out. She came back with they are in the oven and there was no way to know. I sat down for another 20 min and finally was given my order. I went home opened the boxes and to my surprise the chicken was old! Not fresh and recently cooked. What they did was when I complained the cook gave me old chicken that was so dry and overcooked that I could not eat it. The ribs had to be also day old as they were dry and just bad. Short version $80 dollars worth of BBQ that went in the trash. I suspect that this at one time was great BBQ when the father ran it. Now it is run by the son and they don't care about quality food!

    We heard about this place from a friend who told us to try the ribs. They were delicious! I always…read moretry to order something different from my husband so I asked the staff their favorites (they at first mentioned the tacos but I wasn't feeling that adventurous) so I landed on the pork plate and it was cooked perfectly! They have a variety of sauces available, I personally like the sweet sauce but my husband said the hot sauce was great too. We also tried the baked beans, potato salad, Brunswick stew, and our very picky 3 year old got the chicken fingers and Mac and cheese. This is a kid who won't eat chicken if it isn't chick-fil-a and she ate her WHOLE MEAL! The Mac and cheese tastes home made and is creamy and not dried out. It's honestly the best Mac and cheese I've ever had at a restaurant. The potato salad is savory but delicious, it almost has a smoky flavor to it but has a mayonnaise/mustard base. The Brunswick stew has a little spice to it but not too much, I could've just had a big bowl of it and been happy. My husband ate all of the baked beans before I could try them...so I assume they were equally delicious. The meats can be eaten without the sauce and they have flavor that is complimented by the sauces. Even the garlic toast was good. My family literally ate every bite of food on the table. The restaurant was clean, the bathrooms were spotless (which is important when you have a toddler who touches everything), the food was amazing and the staff was great. I literally have nothing bad to say about this place other than it is sadly too far away from my house to come here more frequently. But we will definitely drive back just to eat here.

    This rating is long over due as we visited back in March but had to come back and finish this…read morereview. First time visiting Atlanta and had to stop by and try out this highly rated establishment and so happy I made it part of my list. We arrived towards the end of the night with enough time before closing but obviously not realizing there are a few dishes that sell out so keep that in mind. Nevertheless service was stand out once we walked in and were kindly greeted by the host. We then sat down at our table and were then greeted with our server Tiffany. Let me just say we need a Tiffany everywhere, this girl really went above and beyond and truly welcomed us and genuinely was just a pleasure to interact with through out the whole visit. She really wanted to give us the best experience and recommendations for our first visit and let me just say everything was amazing and the service was top tier, such a great place with a great atmosphere, service and amazing food. What more can you ask for. She would def be the reason we visit Atlanta again and go back to eat here.

As a new Atlanta resident, I'd heard the line was long but food would be good and worth hanging out. We arrived at 430pm on Thursday, no wait, had a pleasant waitress who let us ooh and ahh for a bit before deciding on our choices.
