    Fox Bros. BBQ has a great atmosphere and is a fun spot to grab a meal, especially if you can sit outside. Our server was incredibly friendly and made the experience even better. The only knock is that the patio had quite a few flies, so be ready to eat if you choose outdoor seating. Not a dealbreaker, but something to keep in mind. Overall, good food, great service, and a cool vibe. I'd definitely come back.

    Collard greens & Brunswick stew
    Samantha L.

    Fox Bros is a staple BBQ spot in Atlanta. Their food is very tasty and the portions are large. I got the pulled pork plate which is $16 and comes with two sides. I couldn't even finish the whole meal. The food came out about 10 minutes after ordering so it was a super quick turnaround too. This location has a parking lot but it gets full quickly. Usually there's a long line on the weekends but during the week can be a little slower, albeit still busy. They have both indoor and outdoor seating.

    The big Tex
    Samantha V.

    I got the big tex with a side of this mac and cheese mixed with their soup. I ended up taking it home because I was so full. Even a day later the brisket was still juicy reheated. I would come back again.

    6 Wings (3PD)
    Kevin T.

    My wings were fantastic. Smoked to perfection and drizzled with some amazing sauce. Fox Bros. Never disappoints. Meats and sides are beyond consistent. Be back soon.

    Went to Fox Bros for lunch while a family outing and at first I was confused where the entrance was since the parking lot is to the side of the building. We luckily found parking and were happy to get into an air conditioned space. The inside of Fox Bros is very much like a college bar. There are a bunch of memorabilia and different areas to sit. What we found pretty cool was how the cooks/chefs come out and serve your hot plate at your seat. That gesture is a nice touch to the presentation. The ribs fell off the bone which of course is very nice. I enjoyed their mac& cheese and potato salad. I don't recall my exact order but within the menu they offer to mix and match the various dishes. My boyfriend had collard greens with his mix and match. It was our first time having collard greens & we were not disappointed!

    Ribs, coleslaw, Baked Beans

    The food here is always amazing. The service is outstanding. Sometimes there is a wait. I get the full rack with two sides. Always great! Everything the have here is 10/10! I recommend for both locals and visitors to Atlanta. They may have gotten popular over the years but the quality has remained the same!

    Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage and Pimento Cheese
    Cas R.

    Delicious food! Ordered the sausage and pimento cheese as an appetizer (more so just to try the pimento cheese since it's a staple) and it was good, but nothing to jump about. The main part however was great. The ribs can be eaten as is or add their signature BBQ sauce (I used mild and loved it) and the combo comes with 2 sides - would recommend both the mac n cheese and collard greens. The greens are slightly sweet and very vinegary. I also loved our waiter, Liam. He was funny and helpful, checking in every so often and apologizing when they were out of something (they did run out of cornbread for the day ~7pm). Vibes are great, you can sit inside or outside and look at the artwork on the walls (including famous visitors) or watch sports on the tvs.

    The Foxy Melt with fries
    Kay R.

    Our visit to Fox Bros. was a 10/10! From the host to the server to the manager, everyone was so friendly and helpful! You can tell customer service is a priority for them. We were told a must-try item was the Foxy Melt. It was absolutely delicious!!! One of the best sandwiches I've had. My husband had the two meats plate with ribs, brisket, mac n cheese, and baked beans. All of the above were tasty, but the Foxy Melt stole the show!!!

    Restaurant interior

    If you are looking for a taste-of-the-south BBQ spot, you've come to the right place. This award winning BBQ is bar-none, one of the best around. They have a good selection of dishes and sides, all which are always hearty and delicious. The interior itself is exactly what I would picture of a traditional southern restaurant. With its whimsical country feel and decor, you are eating just as much with your eyes, as you are with your mouth. I tried the everything combo, with 4 meats and 2 sides, which included: brisket, wings, pulled pork and ribs. Along with fox-a-roni and potato salad. So delicious, tender and flavorful. This spot is also a 10/10! If you haven't been, you've need to try it out, and if you have been, stop by again!

    Beef Brisket Sandwich and Potato Salad (v)
    Stephanie B.

    Every once in a while, I come across a business that I wish I could give more than five stars to in a review... and this spot is one of them. Went in on Valentine's Day night unexpected quite the wait but they ended up having an opening at the bar so we took it. The bartender was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and very patient and helpful with all my questions. They were out of pulled pork and chicken, but she told us the brisket was the best anyhow and the brisket definitely did not disappoint. I got the brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad and my dad got the barbecue brisket salad with a side of brisket chili. Everything was absolutely perfect. The taste was amazing, the texture was amazing, and we left there very full and happy. The restaurant itself is pretty fun with a good vibe and friendly and welcoming employees. The bathroom was in a little bit of disarray, but also it was Valentine's Day night so I'm sure they were slammed. I'm not in Atlanta very often, but I can promise you that if I'm ever back, I will definitely make this one of my first stops.

    A recommended spot for me to check out while visiting Atlanta. They were slammed which was a good sign. I sat at the bar which had immediate seating. Great atmosphere and decor inside. Staff were friendly especially the bartender who was also my server. Food came out in a flash after I ordered it. Got the brisket sandwich (chopped). It was delicious and well worth with the Lyft ride to get over here and back to my hotel. I rated 4 stars because I wasn't blown away by it, but I would certainly recommend checking it out if you haven't been here.

    Combo Plate
    Soojin K.

    My favorite was the brussel sprouts with feta. The brisket comes in 3 ways (lean, fatty, or chopped) and I chose the fatty brisket. It was really good till you got to the side bits which were drier than expected. The wings were so good. I got them tossed in spicy bbq. Overall a great dinner. The food came out so fast- within 5 minutes. The bartender gave great suggestions. The restaurant gives a classic bbq restaurant ambiance.

    fried pickles
    Prudence M.

    I like how creative the menu is here, which got me excited. The decor is nice and our server was knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly.. the fried pickles and the chicken fried ribs were good, but other than that, the food was WAYYY too salty. I had to send the chicken wings tossed in house dressing back for plain wings because the salt was overwhelming and not in a good way. The okra was salty. Tempered the salt down a bit with ranch dressing. And the the macaroni and cheese was not baked. its made kinda like velveeta shells but less flavorful.

    What is the link to order tamales tomorrow morning at 10:00 and what is the price per dozen?

    Hi Jim, tamales can be purchased on our online shop at foxbrosbbq.myshopify.com but the actual link will not be available until it goes live at 10am. They are $22/chicken and $24/brisket. Good luck!

    Do they take reservations?

    Nope, they do not. But please don't let that stop you from going. It's really Awesome BBQ!🍖 🍗

    What's parking situation like?

    Well, parking is crazy; however, if you plan on going there for dinner, just block 30 min to find parking prior to - or you can go in & list your party & then find parking. The lot adjacent to the restaurant is small, yet there's parking in the… 

    Is there indoor seating available or only outdoor?

    Yes there was indoor seating the other day when I was there. They were however out of pork ribs.

    What is the difference between sliced fatty and sliced thin for the beef brisket? Is it referring to the thickness of the slice or the amount of fat in the cuts?

    It's the cut of the brisket, do you want it lean or tasty (my opinion) but they must call it fatty. Now you've got me wanting it and I was going to be good this week

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes, if they are chicken fried.

    Do they offer sweet tea?

    Yes and it's delicious!

    Do they allow small dogs inside the main dining area? Because I was there today, and there was a baby boomer couple eating dinner with their Maltese sitting in daddy's lap.

    No they dont normally maybe on the outdoor patio

    Is there an actual bar to sit at? Or just tables?

    There is an actual bar that seats about 10.

    Is everything smoked? I cant eat smoked food so I'm just wondering

    The water, the tea (I think), and the beer.

    Do they have a happy hour, if so what times?

    Yes, every Mon-Thurs 2:00pm - 6:00pm

It can get packed later at night so I recommend coming earlier in the evening. The inside was pretty cozy but there are seats outside as well. Soon after we sat down, there was a live performer that played guitar and sang songs, she was so good! For the food, the ribs were delicious. The ribs fell right off the bone. 1/2 slab of ribs were more than enough for a meal. The rum baked beans and the collard greens were my personal favorite sides. This is a great neighborhood bbq place and I would def come back again!

    This review is for delivery ordered via their website and fulfilled by DoorDash…read more In a word: underwhelming. Quarter Chicken: fine, I guess. Tender but lacking in flavor. If there was a rub, it was subtle to the point of being almost untasteable. Quarter rack of Ribs: poor. Meaty, but far too tough, definitely not fall off the bone. Again lacking in flavor, and burnt in spots. Side of Mac n Cheese: easily the start of the show. Very flavorful, baked and not swimming in cheese sauce, possible notes of ritz crackers detected. I'd have eaten a main course sized portion, and imagine it could mix well with pulled pork or chopped brisket, should Matt's ever consider expanding their repertoire of meats. Side of potato salad: also very solid. Simple but nicely flavored, just creamy enough. Side of collards: fine but unremarkable. Bbq sauce: decent-ish, more tangy than sweet. Very thick. Packaging : Matt's really could improve here. The ribs and chicken, piled together between two slices of white bread, was wrapped in white paper which was in turn stuffed into a paper bag with the containers of sides. This was messy- yes, bbq is by nature a messy undertaking, but a clamshell container would've made the whole fiasco a lot easier to deal with. A fork and spoon were included, no knife... and no napkins. Really? For a paper wrapped oversauced pile of meat... not even a single napkin? I honestly would've been fine paying an extra buck or so for some better packaging and, IDK, maybe a wetnap. Overall, this bbq lover was unimpressed. Perhaps the rave reviews made my expectations too high. I've honestly had better bbq at multiple places in my relative bbq desert hometown of Boston. I was hoping for a real treat during my business trip to Atlanta; instead, I'm yearning for the joint near my suburban New England home...

The sausage was ok, it had cheese inside of it. All of the sides were average to good. I like that the platter was served with onions, good pickles, and white bread. That part reminded me of bbq at home. It's pretty easy to order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. We went on a Saturday night and it was pretty empty.

What initially brought me in was Atlanta Burger Week, and I ordered their featured burger to take advantage of the special. While the burger was good, the real star of the meal was the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket. It was absolutely fantastic.
