    Rib tips
    Renee W.

    It's crazy that I have passed this place so many times and never tried it until yesterday. This was some of the best bbq I have had in Georgia. We ordered the brisket sandwich and rib tips. Both seasoned to perfection and tender. This is my new go to spot from here on out.

    Hey guys I went to Herb's rib shack on today sun Oct 5th and it was highly recommended by a colleague. Sorry to say everybody's recommendations aren't solid. Parking is good and upon entering it smells lovely. I ordered the chicken and rib plate with potato salad and corn as they were out of beans. The chicken was tough and skin was rubbery. The ribs were decent but really dry. And the potato salad was good. For a 2 meat plate with tax and tip at 32 dollars herb y'all gotta step your game up!

    This is the worst brisket and Mac n cheese I've ever had in my entire life. I am so mad I spent $25 on this BS. Brisket is dry and the flavor is not good. The Mac n cheese is super dry and REAL NASTY, it taste like flour and had a doughy texture. The Mac n cheese might be the worst dish I've ever had in my life. Very disappointed, these reviews can't be real.

    Great ribs! I rarely get ribs at BBQ spots because they usually fall short. Herbs was recommended and they didn't disappoint. The sides were also very good. A must try

    Definitely not worth what they are charging for combos. $30 plus for a plate 3 times the price of Wallace BBQ that is better flavor.

    Yes they moved over to Veterans Memorial in Mableton

The restaurant has a laid back vibe, perfect for families and groups. There is plenty of space for even larger groups and I noticed a number of business people enjoying the setup. The pulled pork are standout items, known for their tenderness and rich flavors. The smoking process appears to be a point of pride, with many customers noting the perfect level of smokiness. I also had the smoked cheeseburger which I highly recommend. Sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans complement the meats well. The mac and cheese, in particular, receives rave reviews for its creamy texture. Owens & Hull BBQ stands out for its commitment to quality barbecue in a welcoming environment. Whether you're a local or just passing through Smyrna, it's a spot worth visiting for barbecue lovers.

This spot used to be called something else and from my understanding they merged together. I wasn't a fan of the previous bbq spot but this is ok. As a family, we had ribs, sausage, collards, Mac and cheese, and baked beans. The smoke ring on the ribs was nice; however, there wasn't a great bark on them. I didn't care for any of the bbq sauces. 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. I'm guessing they have more lunchtime traffic. I do plan to come back a little earlier so that I can try their wings before they're sold out.

First, I sat at my table for 10 minutes without being greeted by any server. When the young lady finally arrived, her demeanor was extremely casual and unprofessional--almost as if she were at home rather than at work. Since I've been to this restaurant before, I knew exactly what I wanted: the half chicken dinner and, most importantly, the muffins, which I emphasized were the main reason for my visit. About seven minutes later, the server returned with the muffins, but they were cold tasted straight out of the cooler. I flagged her down and explained the issue, asking for a replacement and how long it would take since I wanted them before my meal. Her response was dismissive: "What do you mean how long? I don't know." A better answer would have been something like, "I'll check and get them to you as soon as possible." Instead, she said, "It'll probably be a minute." When I expressed frustration, she added, "It will take some time." Ten minutes later, she returned with bad news--they were out of chicken. At that point, I simply said oaky and left. This is not my first time experiencing poor service at this location, and I blame myself for returning. The constant turnover of managers and staff seems to be the root cause of these ongoing issues. Don't visit is my review.

I was having guest over and didn't have time to cook so I wanted to treat them to local BBQ. I explained this to the gentleman taking orders (turns out he was the owners brother) and he notified me of a family meal that I didn't see on the menu. The family meal is 2 half chickens and two large sides. Perfect, I added a lb of rib tips, two extra sides, and corn bread and it was perfect for my little gathering, The food was decent. The rib tips and smoked chicken had a good smoked flavor but not much season beyond that. But the house BBQ sauce was so good to dip the meats into, I like that the sauce is served on the side. Personally, I prefer well seasoned smoke meats. This was not that but the meat and sauce together was a delicious combo. Even my toddler son who likes to eat but is particular with meats ate it up and asked for more. My guest also enjoyed the meal too. Our sides were Mac and cheese, green beans, potato salad, and honey cornbread. I loved the cornbread and green beans. The green beans tasted fresh and were very well seasoned and cooked down in a rich broth. The cornbread was crumby but it had such a good sweet and corny flavor.
