Super disappointed with the food this past weekend. I ordered two big combos and a basket of fries for a football game and was disappointed to serve this food to my friends. The ribs were super tough, the wings were either soggy or the texture of plastic, the fries were soggy and bland, and the turkey was dry. The pulled pork and sides were not bad. I've had better food there before but this was a big miss and question if I will ever go back. The confusing part was that the restaurant was fairly slow when I went to pick up the food, and it was still 15 minutes later than estimated. That's not a huge deal, and I hoped that meant the food would be hot. Unfortunately, I was wrong. I have to believe that the ribs and wings were at least a day or two old and reheated. I don't even know how the texture on the wings could be so bad. It was like the skin had turned into tasteless plastic. read more

The food wasn't good at all. Rubbery ribs and over priced . I only stop by because fox bros were sold out of spare ribs. read more

Ford's BBQ Oakhurst - These are the worst ribs I ever had. I just spent $40.00 on this hard chewy plate. I will never eat here again. Horrible - Barbeque Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

Everything we ate here was delicious and I would go back again for sure. The staff was friendly and attentive to all our needs.

Picked up some to-go food to supplement our Xmas feast. First time I've had anything from here. It was all excellent. Smoked turkey: moist, just-smokey-enough flavor. Fried okra: not cornmeal based but still really good with a flavorful crunchy breading. And the brisket: that was the highlight. Just amazing flavor and texture. Wish I'd gotten double. I'll be back. read more

Great food and service! I loved the ambiance! We started with the Smokehouse Nachos and shared the Pitmaster Platter. All the meals and sides were delicious! We will be back! read more

This place definitely has some of the best BBQ in Atlanta!! I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who loves good BBQ. We got the trip platter combo with brisket, pork, and jalapeño cheddar sausage- that sausage was almost melt on your mouth DELICIOUS!! The mac&cheese and vinegar slaw were perfect. If you're around, this is a must stop! read more

Ford's BBQ Oakhurst - Pork, beef brisket, jalapeño cheddar sausage; Mac and cheese, vinegar slaw, and corn! YUM!! - Barbeque Near Me - Decatur, Georgia

10/10 from a bbq snob. Just as it should be. Smoke aroma when you walk in is straight up intoxicating to me. Chill atmosphere with no nonsense fast friendly service. Sat on the patio and inhaled pulled port that was crusty on the outside and buttery on the inside. Whoever smoked this *meant* it. Cilantro in a chopped slaw is different for me but I dig it. Perfect Mac. Nothing was too salty which bugs me usually. Seriously this is possibly my favorite bbq, but I'm going to need to come back and check out the rest of the menu to figure it out. read more

I enjoyed Ford's bbq to go! I ordered the pulled pork sandwich plate, which comes with 2 sides. I choose the Mac & cheese & cole slaw. The Mac & cheese was good, could've used a little salt, but better to add your own than for the dish to be too salty. The vinegar slaw was ok, but I prefer traditional slaw. I did like how minced the cabbage was in the slaw. The sandwich was good! Nice bun, not super fatty, no complaints! Lots of meat, ask for extra sauce if you like it saucy! read more

I was really excited to have a neighborhood bbq place open up. Initially, it was pretty good. However, the last three times I ordered the ribs, they were so terrible they were inedible. Concerns expressed to the waitstaff were ignored. I refuse to go back. read more

Sooooo good. I love the Cuban sandwich (I add meat but there is a great veggie option), the corn and the Brunswick stew. My tween swears by the potato loaded with barbecue. My husband loves the bbq. You'll leave smelling slightly of smoky meat, which you should at a bbq restaurant. read more

I stopped into Ford's having become a resident of this region of Atlanta, recently. This is a Texas style BBQ joint with a solid menu of beer, cocktails, and food. We enjoyed the smoked wings and split a combo platter, 2 meats and 2 sides for the right price. The value is impressive as this is definitely top caliber BBQ. No corners are cut at Ford's. All sauces are made in house and the staff is attentive and friendly. Add Ford's BBQ to your list of places to check out! read more

Really good food and great service. Was nice to be able to sit outside with our dogs and eat and enjoy a nice beer to

Amazing food, great friendly service, only complaint is the sides are entirely too bland.

Worst bbq food I ever had. Very disappointed. I had the pulled pork sandwich and it was very lack luster. They were out of Mac so that wasn't an option, the way the food tasted maybe it was good thing. I picked out gooey old cucumbers from my salad and the green beans was terrible. Eating it straight out the can would've been better. read more

Food and service were great. Enjoyed the brisket, pulled pork, veggie chili and their great sides (beans, okra, curly fries, creamed corn and cucumber salad). All were tasty and nice portions. First time here but not last. Great place in a cool part of town. read more

This is a great local restaurant. I knew it would be good smelling good cooking in the smoker outside. We ordered the platter with wings, jalapeno sausage, fried okra, and mac and cheese. The wings were perfectly smoked, seasoned well, and the sweet heat sauce is delicious. The ribs fell off the bone. The skin is crispy and the meat was tender and juicy. You could tell that the sausage was homemade with a crispy skin, which was surprisingly good. The staff is very attentive and friendly. Oh, you have to try the kool-aid of the day. You won't regret it. Will definitely be back. read more

So good! What a find. The jalapeño waffle appetizer was insane. I had the beet Reuben (yes, beet). You can add meat but it is fantastic with just the veggies. Sides were amazing too. Probably some of the best cole slaw I have ever had. Don't even get me started on the banana pudding. Yum! Highly recommended. read more

Food is terrible. My food did not come out how I ordered it. I tried their lentil nachos only for it to come out with no lentils! That's ridiculous! The only friendly person was our server Ceirra and the manager walked around mad. This restaurant was out of everything. Not even worth your money, time, or tastebuds! I will not be back read more

2stars because you know what, the food we got was pretty good. It's just that my food and my and my sons food never came and our waiter started avoiding us after we asked about it. An hour after sitting w a hungry 8 year old we left, I ate some excellent wings my wife luckily ordered as an appetizer since my ribs were MIA. Manager was apologetic, voided the food from the bill. Just not a great Friday night. You can do better. read more

Tasty barbecue in a casual and fun atmosphere. The birria tacos made with smoked brisket were exceptionally good. Also great dry-rubbed smoked wings. read more

We love Ford's and come here regularly. Their brisket is so delicious and I wish they sold the red chili sauce by the bottle. My go to is street tacos, but everything is delicious! The staff are always so kind and the atmosphere is friendly. Our waiter was nice and the food was fresh and delicious. I definitely recommend coming here! read more

I've eaten at Ford's BBQ few times and I have really enjoyed myself. Everything that I have gotten to eat was really good and the wait time was very short. The staff that I have come in counter with have been very friendly and check up to make sure everything is good throughout my meal. read more

I think this place has promise, but they are suffering some startup pains now. Primarily it's the slow service. They need more wait staff and better training for the ones they have. We waited and waited for our food and we waited and asked 3 times for our check. The meal took twice as long as it should have. On the plus side, the BBQ was good, and the Cowboy Beans were some of the best beans I've ever tasted. Another plus is the building, which is well laid out for a hang-out spot. Rooms for outdoor dining, indoor dining, bar, and game room. TVs for keeping up with sports. I hope they work through their startup problems. My advice for the management: (1) Speed. (2) Courtesy. Get customers their food and check quickly. Treat customers like they are your friends and family. Hire enough wait staff and train them to think of themselves as hosts and hostesses. If you want a good example, go to Shane's Rib Shack. Everyone who works there is trained to treat the customer like their best friend. read more

My new favorite BBQ in the Atlanta area, the pulled pork was perfect and the brisket was very good. I loved the Brunswick stew with its big chunks of brisket. The collard greens were phenomenal. I will try everything on their menu. read more

Cute little place with good drinks and great food. Could not be happier to have this in the neighborhood. Will be back often!

Great little corner BBQ joint, the pit boss sampler platter filled 4. Glad we stopped on our way in to Atlanta.

Ford's in Oakhurst is a family favorite! Great food and Margaritas!! When it is just me and my wife we love sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartender and other locals. Coldest beer in town! Seriously! Haven't had a dish we didn't like! Can't wait to go back! read more

Hubby and I went there, reason being I saw where they had street corn and I was all in after that. We had an excellent meal, ribs, cowboy beans and mac and cheese for him and me, well I could have made the meal off the street corn alone but did have some ribs along with that. The food was some of the best I've had in a long time, ribs were meaty, not fatty and the sides were more than adequate and excellent, also! All in all we had about 8 different items and each one was a winner! Would highly recommend this little jewel of a restaurant. read more

I came looking around the for something too eat. I'm walk across the street from where I'm working Sense I've noticed some restaurants around and I came upon fore bbq and we'll I said let give it a try i order a brisket sandwich and honestly it was perfect for me the brisket was nicely cook and good flavor as well as a good service and I would definitely come back to try some other time overall I feel the experience was a 10/10 for me . read more

On memorial day, they CANCELLED my pickup order more than an hour after I put it in. After it was cancelled, it was too late to get food anywhere else, completely messed up plans for our family. I was even waiting at the restaurant for more than 30 minutes before they let me know. read more

Smokey Goodness! Got the loaded baked potato with brunswick stew and all the fixins and it was delish!

We loved sitting outside & people watching. I ordered a stuffed potato and my husband ordered a cup of chili & street tacos. Our server while very friendly, missed on the service. The cup of chili was missing onions & cheese & by the time it finally was brought, my husband had given up & taken some off my potato. It didn't matter anyway. The chili was strange. It was pieces of meat drowning in a sauce strongly flavored with oregano and seemingly, no chili. My chili loving husband ate less than half of the cup & just left the rest. The street tacos he did enjoy. My potato was supposed to have cheese, onions, jalapeños, and sweet heat sauce. I got tomatoes instead of jalapeños and no sauce. I didn't say anything about the tomatoes, but on asking for the sweet heat sauce, got the strange response that she thought it might already have been brought to the table. While I'd maybe give this place another try, I wouldn't rush back. read more

I was expecting more but wasn't too impressed. The pulled pork was a little salty but pretty good. The creamed corn was good but a little runny and the Mac and cheese was a let down. Other BBQ places in the area have better mac n cheese..this one was a little bland and not creamy. Overall, I would probably choose other BBQ places in the area over this one but it wasn't terrible. read more

Really good bbq!!! Enjoyed it. I must go back again. Just upset with the waitress who brought my granddaughter a spicy taco!!! It really burnt her mouth!!! Next time you have a spicy condiments for a child put it on the side damn!!! Not fan where they seated us either!!! Right in the door way and walk way!!! But the food was good other than the service!!! Must do better YALL!! read more

My wife and I are only here in Decatur for a few days - babysitting for our three grands while their parents are out of town - and this was our second visit to the restaurant, this time with the kids. The food was outstanding, as were the adult beverages. What I most wanted to comment on was Lou(?), our server. She was incredibly helpful and attentive before, during, and even after our meal, even helping us to choose a local ice cream shop to visit for dessert. Thanks so much for helping make our trip to the Atlanta area a truly memorable experience! read more

weve given this place a couple of tries before we decided to write a review. just. no. the fried okra was good. but thats about it. we wanted to like it. The meat just wasn't good. The jalapeños ranch tasted like vomit. but no. just dont do it. read more
