I'm going with 5 stars until I try anything else. Smelled bbq in the air when driving by so I said why not. I'm not a fan of going to a bbq place that doesn't have a bbq aroma in the air. Location is in a little place next to a gas station. Im a huge pulled pork sandwich fan and was looking for that but they only had rib , rib tip, and chicken sandwiches. I settled for the rib sandwich. $8 and some changed, gave me about 6 ribs and 2 pieces of bread. The ribs were on point. They looked super good, had a nice dark bark on the outside and the meat was juicy and tender looking. For me the taste was delicious. Nice, Smokey flavor to them that wasn't to overbearing. Both the sweet and the spicy sauces were good too. Excited to try other things or even just get the ribs again. read more

Y'all gotta clarify on the hours of operation. At least put it on the door. This is one of my favorite spots I used to come here all the time but I work far and don't stay as close anymore the earliest I can get there is 5:30. Everywhere online it says y'all close at 6:30 but this my 5th time coming before that and y'all closed. Foods good but it's kinda hard to enjoy it when u can't get it smh read more

Guys! You have to go and get at least the ribs/rib tips from here! I love this place so much I am here like once a week and I love that they remember me and my name even over the phone they recognize my voice lol! The family that owns this place is so beautiful and kind and it makes me choose them over any other place for my bbq! I am a bbq lover so trust me when I say I tried them all and it's so good here you don't even need the sauce! Sauce is amazing as well though. read more

Dilworth's BBQ - Large Rib Tip Special - Barbeque Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

The cashier was upset that I didn't give her a tip. She expressed it when the following customer forgot to get a drink when his food was ready. She says he didn't have to pay for it because he tipped her. She continues with "People do not know how to tip" and a bunch of other rude comments." I'll never go back to Dilworth's BBQ. Maybe if she had greeted me when I walked in or been friendly read more

No need to look any further!!!! This is the spot for BBQ and the sides are amazing.... my food never left the parking lot.... A friend of mine referred me to this place, he bragged and so I had to go and see what the hype was about, he was right! Dilworth is all of that and a bag of chips! I waited well over 30 mins, bit it was worth the wait, the collards and the mac and cheese was perfect! so y'all already know I'm greedy, so instead of taking my food home and eating like a normal person..... I took a little bite in the parking lot and ended up eating mostly all of it right in front of the restaurant. LOL.... I didn't even have time to put the sauce on. Look..... Dilworth will see me again this weekend. read more

Dilworth's BBQ - Rib tip plate - Barbeque Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

Good food worth the wait? A lot of food for the money. I got ribs for my husband with 2 sides( baked beans and collard greens.

I got the rib tips and they were delicious. I should have gotten 2 orders instead of 1.

So I decided to try this place because my sister said it was good. I knew it would be a different experience for me because everyone has different taste buds. The ribs were a nice taste and not bad but when I asked for sauce he said you have to get it yourself we don't have large containers to give barbecue sauce. The sides was supposed to be for a family I told him a family of 7 and he said the family size is a good portion. Well the portions you see on the picture is not family size and of course the Macaroni is very burnt so I can't tell you how it taste. The potato salad taste like Sams so it's mediocre. The chicken sandwich was dry and burnt. I do catering from time to time and I'm sorry I will never give anyone anything burnt after they spent over $80's on the food. I don't care if it's $2 I would not give a bad product. So come get it together and do your customers better. You are in a predominantly black area do those people right as you would want people to do you right read more

This was pretty good. The ribs had actually meat and not full of fat, MAC and cheese was okay, greens were typical. The food came out quick and I enjoyed it with both styles of bbq sauces that are on-site. read more

This is a great place and the only one on this side of town we always get the slab of ribs it also have rib tips with.. Get there early it goes so fast your friend Nina,Ella and Brooklyn see u soon read more

I was excited to try this bbq spot next to my favorite wing spot. I walked in and it instantly felt unwelcoming. The gentleman who was helping with my order was not very communicative when I was asking questions. I can surpass that. But when I was ordering for the salmon plate priced at $10 I was juiced! -____- they plated this beautiful piece of salmon on 2 grains of rice... You can tell from their plates (not the chicken or pork) that they are trying to be stingy for some rice. Its disrespectful when people spend $30+ for almost no food.... read more

Dilworth's BBQ - a variety of food in styrofoam containers - Barbeque Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

What I had at Dilworth's wasn't bad especially their super creamy Potato Salad. The problem was what I didn't have. They offer no pulled Pork ... no Brunswick Stew ... no Fries, or Onion Rings. read more

Dilworth's menu is not detailed and doesn't lost all possible options. It felt a bit unsure. The cashier was not mean, but he wasnt very welcoming and assuring. I enjoyed the taste of the food. My husband didn't like that they used onion to flavor the macaroni and cheese. My daughter enjoyed the collard greens, though. Overall, good value for the price. I may return later down the line read more

Dilworth's BBQ - Family sized mac n cheese, collard greens and brisket sandwich and slab of ribs - Barbeque Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

My husband drove past this restaurant on the way home from work and immediately turned around after smelling the BBQ scent in the air. He brought home an order of large rib tips with a good amount of it missing (they didn't survive the ride home). Thankfully there was a little bit left for me to try. They were so good, tender, smoky, and flavorful. And that's before even putting BBQ sauce on them! We returned the following day and get another order of large rib tips. From now on, I'll make sure to get a large order for me to have to myself. read more

Dilworth's BBQ - the logo on the wall - Barbeque Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

I have eaten the rib tips the 2-3 times I been there and the plate is filling 1 person can eat 2-3 days off the plate, but I have to rinse rib tips off because the RUB or MARINADE they use is a bit TOO salty for ME, then I pour the BBQ sauce on the rib tips...Now others my not see a problem with the seasoning read more

Their rip tip order is the biggest ripped order I've ever seen in my entire life!it is so delicious!!! The fish it's to die for and the potato salad tastes just like grandma made it!! Portions and prices are absolutely unbelievable! Very affordable and the most delicious barbecue I have had in years!!! Everything taste so fresh it's almost unbelievable I say run don't walk to the best barbecue in the area in my opinion! read more

Went here on my lunch break after reviewing the ratings, and I must say I have mixed feelings about the place. Ordered the rib tip plate with double mac and cheese and a rib sandwich. I ate the rib sandwich first and it was decent. Started off a lil rough but got better. Loved the barbecue sauce as well. The ribs and rib tips were seasoned very well, some were a little tough and some were falling off the bone. Now to the issue...... the mac and cheese . All im going to say is that it would've been very delicious WITHOUT THE ONIONS.. PLEASE STOP PUTTING ONIONS IN YOUR MAC AND CHEESE or at least offer an option without. But overall I give it a 4 because the ribs were pretty good and I witness another customer having an issue with her order and they compensated her on the spot free of charge. The cashier wasnt too charming either but I could tell he was just trynna get a paycheck. read more

Dilworth's BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Lithonia, Georgia

I pulled up to go in to support a black owned establishment. The website says closes at 8p. It was 7p as I'm walking to the door a man locks the door in my face!! And says through the door we are closed rudely. I cant stand bad service and this is the reason it is hard to support our own. Very dissapointed!!! read more

My boyfriends suggested this place when I said I wanted some fish and macaroni and cheese. I'm glad I took his advice because I loved my food, from The first bite to the last. He called up Sam and got the ribs with baked beans and macaroni and cheese. While I got the catfish with bread, macaroni and cheese and collard greens. Loved it! It was so much fish I had leftovers and all for a great price! 1 meat +2 sides only $10 and 2 meat + 2 sides = $15. Worth the money y'all! Please check out Dilworth's you won't regret it & it's family owned! read more

The ribs were okay at Dilworth's, but the Sides were very cold. I attempted to call back to inform them, but they never pick up (a busy signal due to leaving their phone off the hook). The greens had no taste and the beans were so cold and hard. I was very disappointed in my meal overall. read more

Where do I start.....? Well for starters I think I finally found the sole reason for swollen ankles and high blood pressure in the Lithonia area. The food was so salty, I had to trash most of it. I ordered ribs, mac n cheese, greens, potato salad and brisket. The ribs, mac n cheese and greens were all extremely salty, the brisket had no flavor and it was dry. The only decent thing was the potato salad but it would have been better if they didnt put it in the container with the hot foods..... The customer service was just as bland as the brisket. I looked over it because I understand everyone isn't in the best of moods during these covid times. Speaking of covid, there is no social distancing and no one enforcing nor is there a plan to make sure the place doesnt get over crowded. There also wasn't any safety protocols in place for the BBQ dispenser. Everyone was just going up, picking up the little cups and tops all "willy nilly" and pumping the sauce out of the community drum of BBQ sauce. I very seriously doubt if I will ever return to this place. If you're reading this and have no other choice, make sure you bring a gallon of water to wash all the salt down and make sure you have a water pill to take afterwards. read more

We heard about this place and went on Instagram to check them out. We ordered Fish, Ribs and pork chops. The meat was excellent. The fish and pork chops were fried to order. The ribs were very tender. I gave it 4 stars because the sides didn't measure up with the meat. We ordered baked beans, greens, baked beans and macaroni and cheese. There was nothing spectacular about them. I will return to this place and probably won't order any sides. read more

They have the best bbq in town! The Ribs are seasoned to perfection! I will definitely be going back

We had plans to take pictures but the food just disappeared in thin air. The box was loaded and the food was just as good as it looked. The spices were throughout the meat. Definitely marinaded I'm flavorful goodness. The customer service was awesome. We had the chicken, sausage, short ribs and pork chops...all were extremely happy with their meals. We drove from camp creek but it was worth it. We will be back. read more

VERY GOOD! One of the best spots in ATL. Very low key bbq spot. I purchased the rub tips dinner which came with two sides. Everything was delicious. My only gripe was I could've revived more meat than what was given to me. Outside of the low portions of meat, the quality and taste was exceptional. The sauce selection is very good as well! I will be back SOON! read more

Best Barbecue in GA!!! Great prices!!! The serving size are bigger than average, nothing but good things to say!!!

We are visiting from Colorado and was told that we had to go to Dilworth 's BBQ. It was a 45 minute drive from our hotel and DAMN! it was 100% worth it! The meat definitely speaks for itself...it was flavorful and tender. We'll come back to Georgia just to eat this BBQ...it's that good! read more

Best ribs I've had in years and that's no understatement.. this is true southern bbq!!

The food was as lackluster as the owner who took my order at the front counter. The menu was not very detailed and when I inquired about additional information on menu items I was met with a reply that I had to pull out piece by piece. The brisket was tough definitely not what I had anticipated. The chicken left much too be wanted. The sides were just blah. Overall the food just did not cut it. I expected and wanted more from this place. They need to work on warmer friendlier customer service and amp up the flavor of the food please and thank you. read more

Just bad all around. Not worth going. Ignored by servers and once food came it was cold and barely edible

I am so pissed at this BS!!! Like I was so in shocked that they actually CUT THE RIBS IN HALF!!!! like I have NEVER IN MY LIFE SEEN THIS TYPE OF FUCKERY!!! Don't call them ribs if the RIB HALVES!!!! Then on top of that they first got my order wrong and I called b4 I came here i thought the person who answered the phone was just dry on the phone WRONG he was even more dry in person!!!! NEVER WILL I COME BACK HERE AND SPEND $15 of i could give them no star that's what it would be... I never thought greens could be flavorless but this place proved me WRONG!!! The potato salad is a big store bought container from SAM'S club this is ALL BAD read more

I was excited that a BBQ restaurant opened up a half mile from the house...but I thought it was just Ok. Thought it lacked flavor and the ribs were tough. The potato salad was the highlight of the plate to me. I wont rush back, but I may try again in the future. read more

The food was delicious. I do prefer BBQ'd chicken vs Smoked but it was still good. I would recommend this place and eat there again.

I used Dilworth's to cater my grandmother's 81'st birthday party and the food was amazing! I ordered ribs, chicken, salmon, and macaroni and cheese to feed 20 and in the end there was still plenty for take home plates. This will be my go to place for BBQ in the future! read more

This place is the best their brisket and chicken is so good I would highly recommend them the collard greens and potato salad are good as well read more

So I tried Dilworth's for the first time on the 4th of July. I got the Smoked Sausage and Ribs with Potato Salad and Baked Beans. The Ribs and Smoked Sausage were sooo great! Sides, meh. The Potato Salad was good, not great and the Baked Beans seemed straight out the can. Regardless, I loved it so much, I came back again today for the Smoked Chicken and Smoked Sausage and Macaroni & Cheese and Collards. Again, the meats didn't disappoint. Sides, just okay. I will however continue to come back. It's so close and so good. read more

My husband and I had this BBQ just today. How dare you serve someone ice cold collard greens. Almost as if they took them out of the fridge and just put them directly on the plate. Also the rib tips were horrible. They were mainly fat and gristle. Out of an order of tips there were only approximately 2 and a possible that were edible. If Monday is your normally day of being closed please keep it that way instead of serving subpar food. read more

Best BBQ I've had on a long time! Will definitely be back! I had the brisket and my friend had the rib tips. The mac and cheese is homemade!
