Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q Fox Bros. has that hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint feel, but with plenty of space to hang out. There's a bar along with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the overall atmosphere is casual and laid-back. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and gave us some great recommendations, which definitely added to the experience. We went with the three-meat sampler and chose the brisket, ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage, with tots and the Fox-a-Roni for our sides. The Fox-a-Roni--a combination of their Brunswick stew and mac & cheese--was absolutely delicious and easily one of the most memorable sides I've had at a BBQ restaurant. The brisket was honestly some of the best brisket I've ever had. It was tender, flavorful, and easily my favorite of the three meats. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was also really good, and while the ribs tasted great, ours were pretty small and didn't have a ton of meat on them. My only real complaint was the portioning of the sampler. We were told that as you choose a larger variety of meats, you essentially receive smaller portions of each. I understand the idea of a sampler, but we literally received one slice of brisket and two-three fairly small ribs, so the portion-to-variety concept didn't make a ton of sense to me. I would've preferred slightly more substantial portions, especially considering how good the brisket was! I also ordered a cocktail, but unfortunately it wasn't really for me. It came across very sweet and mostly juice, although I think that may have been more about the particular drink I chose than the bar itself. Overall, the food absolutely delivered. Between the incredible brisket, Fox-a-Roni, friendly service, and laid-back BBQ atmosphere, Fox Bros. was definitely worth the stop. I'd happily come back--I'd just skip the 3 meat sampler next time and order more of that brisket! read more

Great local spot with awesome service and good bbq. Yummy burnt ends and brisket. I like lean and hubby likes fatty. Our server was kind enough to give us half and half. Nice beer selection with a full bar. This was the second barbecue spot we came to and our local eight year-old expert felt the mac & cheese at the other spot was better, lol. read more

This rating is long over due as we visited back in March but had to come back and finish this review. 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. read more

Located @ Dekalb Ave NE Decatur, Ga I ordered Ribs today for the 4th of July Holiday. I arrived very early because parking is extremely limited. The service was great but I had to wait for my order because I failed to place my order in advance. My fault not theirs. The ribs are pretty tasty here and it beats cooking them myself. The ambiance was Super Busy because of the 4th of July Holiday but patience is a virtue and it was worth the wait. It's always the delicious BBQ for me. read more

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. read more

Entertaining a tourist from over the ocean who wanted the "diners drive in and dive" experience - this was the top of her list. 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. read more

We had a great meal with brisket sandwich, Brunswick stew (my favorite), tater tot appetizer, wings. All were great.

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! read more

Fox brothers is staple here! The slice brisket didn't need a knife, and Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage by the Link was phenomenal the ratio with the casing. They are the pb&j of greatness! The Fox-a-Roni was a caloric overload but worth every weight watching decimal and comma. Last but not least the greens, collard had that feel to it. I like the attentive service and you need to be there by 11a.m. When doors open it's already packed out. read more

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. read more

Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q - 6 Wings (3PD) - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

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! read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Went here for dinner on a Monday night. Parking is very limited. All spots were taken but only half the tables were full inside. The waitress was nice and attentive. My table ordered brisket, pulled pork, and ribs for the meats. All the meats were just okay. Not bad but not rememberable. Sides were baked beans, spicy green beans, Mac & cheese, fries, collard greens, and cornbread. The baked beans and collard greens were great. Everything else was just okay. The bottle of bbq at our table had issues so I had to swap one from the other table. Overall the BBQ was just okay here. It satisfies the taste buds if you're wanting BBQ but not something I'll seek out for a future meal. read more

Service was great! Food a bit underwhelming. Good smoke on the ribs but unseasoned. Sauces were horrible. I took my leftovers home and reheated and added a store bought sauce and it was great so I think if I go back I'm bringing my own sauce. read more

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. read more

It's crazy that I'm just now trying Fox Bros BBQ for the first time. This place has always been talked about in such high regard, such fevor. I'm trying to figure out why. I ordered the spare ribs, pulled pork, and quarter kitchen. My girl ordered the pulled pork and the sausage. Everything was just subpar. The meat wasn't really flavored, wasn't super moist. The food tasted like it had been sitting out. Not sure if I'll go back anytime soon. read more

Fox bros has some of the best barbecue I've had. Not everything was perfect but there is so much good food that I had that I can't complain. The ribs were phenomenal. The ribs were solid, sticking to the bone, yet also so tender and juicy with just the right amount of fat. I don't like barbecue sauce as most places make it too sweet but these just had a light layer that didn't overpower at all. I ended up adding some of the spicy barbecue sauce which was delicious. One of the main highlights were the wings. I tried both the dry rub and sauces wings and both were incredibly crispy on the outside with a moist inside. Some of my favorite wings I've had. My favorite item which came as a surprise was the chicken. Most times when I get chicken at a barbecue place it's just chicken, but here I had the smokiest juiciest chicken I've had before. What really makes it better was the white sauce that my server recommended me to use with it. I had never had anything like this before and it just added so much more flavor to an already great dish. The moist brisket was the most disappointing thing I had. Moist brisket is my favorite barbecue item and this was just not wet enough or flavorful enough. It just seemed dried out especially on one half of the piece. The fries weren't good, not crispy or salted enough. The fried okra was a nice side to have. With how much they are doing right, I'd love to come back to experience some more meats and more sides that I didn't get to try on my first outing here. read more

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. read more

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. read more

The bee's knees of ribs. This is my third time here and each him, it slaps and hits. The food here is so good. The ribs are amazing! When I die, I want Fox Bros to cater my funeral. The smoked wings are famous here. I wasn't crazy about the sauce, so I'll try their wings without sauce next time. The one negative was the cornbread. It was very dry and old looking. It looked not fresh and was wrapped originally in plastic and unwrapped to be served. 10-15 minute walk from the train station. Safe walk through the neighborhood and along the road. read more

Got recommended this place as the "best BBQ in Atlanta". We came on a Saturday for lunch and it was pretty packed which was to be expected. You are most likely going to have to park in the side streets as the parking lot is fairly small. Ordered the BC plate so will rank the things I've tried individually: - Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage (8.5/10): still on the fence on ordering sausage at BBQ places but this was a thumbs up from me - Brisket (6.5/10): got it sliced and maybe a little too dry for me - Spare Ribs (7.5/10): these were pretty good paired with the sauces - Tater Tots (10/10): the crisp on these were incredible - Collard Greens (9/10): really solid nothing else to say Service was top tier and I would definitely recommend stopping by this place if you are in the BBQ mood. read more

Chicken. Fried. Ribs. I brought a group of five here on a hope and a prayer that Fox Bros was the real deal, and it absolutely delivered. Tiffany was our server--funny, attentive, and just plain awesome. The food rundown: Chicken Fried Ribs (10/10): Unreal. Perfectly tender, with a flavorful fried crust. The combo of white BBQ sauce and regular BBQ drizzle took them over the top. Everyone at our table was raving. Three big ribs per order--don't skip this appetizer. Brisket (9/10): Went with the fatty cut. Nice bark, fat rendered well, rich flavor. Just a touch on the dry side, but still excellent. Smoked Chicken Wings (10/10): I usually lean toward fried, rather than smoked, but these spicy BBQ "wet" wings won me over. Juicy, great texture, bold flavor--and the side of blue cheese they give you is generous. Tots (10/10): Classic, crispy, salty, perfect for dunking in white BBQ sauce. Standard on their own, but absolutely worth getting topped with brisket chili or Brunswick stew. Brisket Chili (9/10): Solid and flavorful, though I wanted more big brisket chunks and maybe some veggie/tomato texture. Banana Pudding (10/10): Everything you want--creamy, banana-forward, crunchy Nilla wafers. Whipped cream would've been a nice extra, but it's basically perfect as is. Bottom line: Fox Bros is legit BBQ. Great food, fun atmosphere, and unforgettable chicken fried ribs. Not paid, not prompted--I'm just a new raving fan. read more

We were visiting from Texas so we felt it only made sense to compare some Georgia BBQ to Texas BBQ and funnily enough the restaurant was Texas themed. I'm partial to Texas bbq but this place did not disappoint. The ribs and chicken wings were incredible! The seasoning and sauce were flavorful and delicious. The sausage and brisket were good but nothing exciting. The sides were great and overall the meal left us stuffed! The staff was friendly and welcoming! Overall a great meal! read more

My first time visiting with family. Friendly and fast service. Atmosphere is wonderful and welcoming. Variety of sports playing on their TVs. Noise level is not too loud. We tried the 4 meat - 4 sides combo: brisket, pulled pork, bbq chicken and smoked sausage. We paired it with coleslaw, collards, chili and Mac n cheese. The portions are huge. It was 4 of us and still we manage to take home some leftovers. The meat was cooked to perfection, not dry at all. There are available sauces on the table if you wish to topped it on your meats. Everything was scrumptious! Ended the meal with an order of banana pudding. read more

The best BBQ in Atlanta, seriously! Location and Parking Located in borderline ATL/Decatur, parking is located in the small ( and always full) lot in front of the building, or on the side streets (read the signs carefully to avoid the boot). Venue and Atmosphere It's nothing fancy, just a bunch of rooms decorated with every artifact known to man, wooden furniture, pics of famous guests on the walls, and the small of delicious barbecue wafting throughout. They have a sizable patio as well. Service Service was prompt, courteous, and efficient. We walked in on a Monday and had to wait 20 mins for seating. On a weekend, be prepared to wait or just order takeout. Food and Beverages The combo platter is the cheat code for my entire life. Like seriously, who knew that a smoked sausage, smoked wings, and tender ribs could change your entire life. And what magical finger-licking ingredients are they putting in that sauce? I don't even like most BBQ sauce but somehow I was compelled to purchase a bottle to take home. Not to mention the platter of fried pickled that will make you ask "where's this been all my life?" It's safe to say that I've found my smoked wing fix. Verdict I'll definitely visit again and again, and again... read more

Went there to try the burger week burger which was a Smoked Jalapeño Popper Bacon Smash Cheeseburger. The burger itself was really good, minus the popper. The popper had too much cream cheese and was an interesting idea, but didn't work. I enjoyed my burger without it. Burger fell apart on me but it was still good. I also tried the brisket chili and the baked beans. Out of the two, I preferred the baked beans. I am a chili lover and I know some like a brisket chili but it didn't do anything for me. Decent flavor but it also felt like it was missing something. My bf had a regular smash burger minus their sauce which contained mustard. He instead got it with the jalapeño ranch sauce which he did like. His side was the mac and cheese which he was not a fan of. I am super picky with mac and cheese and hardly ever get it. You order at the front and then they'll bring you your food. Server was very nice. The restaurant is in a brewery kind of atmosphere. Has an indoor outdoor feeling when windows open. Very minimal but clean. Would return but I know what sides I would get. read more

We walked here from a downtown conference venue and it was worth every step, even when my companions started to doubt my navigation skills. I will go well out of my way for good BBQ and I figured if Guy Fieri liked it it was a safe bet. The servers were on point- accessible and friendly but also let us sit back, take our time and enjoy our meal. The meats (and we got many of them between all of us) were all delicious, with the ribs and the briskets being favorites for me. I thoroughly enjoyed my collards (can't get 'em where I live and oh how I love them). The most delightful item we tried though were the brussel sprouts. Oh my heavens!! Another reviewer said that when they die, they want Fox Bros to cater their funeral. I can see why. My waistline is definitely thankful that I don't live here!

Tastes like home. When I want BBQ, Fox Bros is what I want. The brisket and the ribs are just fantastic. When they have brussel sprouts on the menu, get them. They rarely make it home.

I was visiting ATL and decided to try out this location after seeing some good reviews on it. The customer service at the bar by Cassidy was phenomenal. Not only did she check in consistently, but she had recommendations and even let me know the differences in meat which I appreciate so much. My experience was enjoyable and tasty! I even got some dessert and didn't have a microwave to warm it up in at my hotel, she made sure to request it heated up for me.
