    Service was great by my smoked wings weren't. While in Georgia decided to try out this bbq spot. We ordered Mac n cheese, collard greens, potatoe salad, ribs, brisket and smoked wings. The sides were good but I disliked the flavor and seasoning on the wings.

    The barbecue is delicious. The staff will walk you through the process. One tip: go for the fatty brisket not the lean. The wings are crispy and topped with a white sauce and lime. The collard greens and Mac and cheese make great sides. You will think the single is too small, it's not. You will be full, or at least I was. This is pricey BBQ so be prepared to pay more than a simple combo price. Everything is ala carte but not tapas priced. I may be back but it won't be often. I love a good deal.

    Lewis BBQ never disappoints I've been to all three Lewis Barbecue locations now, and this one in Atlanta--and I'm happy to say the food here is just as good as the OG. All the meats were cooked and smoked beautifully--super tender and packed with flavor. The sides were just as tasty and really completed the meal. Definitely recommend giving it a try!

    This place is expensive but well worth it. Also, You have to park in a strip mall and take a breeze way to the back to find this place. Place is big on the inside and really clean. I ordered Bisket mixed, greens, ribs, and green chile sausage. The pickled pickles and onions help clean the taste buds. The greens are decent. Brisket is really good. Ribs are very good as well. Green Chile sausage is loaded with juices and cheese. The food is amazing but I cannot eat like this too often.

    Delicious Texas style Bbq in Georgia! The staff so so friendly as I was the first customer through the door on the day, and they walked me through the ordering style they do. They gave me a sample of the brisket, and talked me into getting a half rack of ribs, and I'm so glad they did. The ribs were wonderful. And the fries, goodness they were great!

    One of the best BBQ spots in ATL - I did a back to back brisket taste test with another highly rated spot (hint: it's korean fusion) and Lewis was far better in my opinion. More moist, better salted, and better flavor. My main critique with Lewis' brisket is that the texture is a little lacking. The brisket didn't necessarily hold together well when I started to cut it. It kinda just started to fall apart. The green chile corn pudding was alright - I wish it had more of a kick and a bit stronger flavor. For ATL, this is 5 star BBQ that is more along the lines of Texas style BBQ, but I think by Texas standards, this is mid/upper-mid range BBQ (still good by any means, but competition in Texas is tough). I took my order to-go and they packaged it very well! The meat was wrapped in parchment paper, and then wrapped again in saran wrap. All the sauces were labeled and we were given a plentiful amount of sauce. The OG sauce is good! Would recommend that one for sure. Despite my strong opinions, I would still return to Lewis to try more of their meats. It is, after all, probably the best BBQ in ATL and is the closest I can get to a taste of home. Glad that some real BBQ has finally landed here!

    This is our new BBQ spot! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, cooked to perfection, and absolutely delicious. The lean brisket is honestly the best I've ever had. We also tried the sausage, and it was just as good. I can't recommend this place enough. The mac and cheese was extra cheesy with a perfect baked layer on top. The green beans and collards weren't our favorite, both had a strong vinegar taste. But I'm not deducting any stars because the rest of the meal was that good! There's plenty of free parking in the large strip mall lot. Plenty of outside seating. We ordered online for a 3:30 pickup time, arrived at 3:25, and our order wasn't ready until 4:00 -- but it was worth the wait.

    What a treat! Love the buffet style food service line where you can see everything in front of you and choose what you want from there! All the meats I ordered were scrumptious! The hot guts sausage, the chopped brisket and the pork ribs. I will say the pork ribs were super fatty, so maybe an opportunity with trimming the meat a bit more. Also bummed we didn't get to try the turkey (was sold out), as I hear it's a fan fave! Pro Tip: order the green chile corn pudding! Actually order 2!!

    Lewis Barbecue and Bar Lewis are such perfect new additions to this area! The food and drinks are both so delicious! The brisket is definitely the highlight for me!! I loved the brisket sandwich. This location is in Ansley Mall with direct access to the Beltline! It's perfect for a weekend scroll with lunch or dinner! Its a walk up counter, so you can see what you are ordering! Definitely a must try!

    Lewis Barbecue is some of the BEST BBQ in town. The second you step out of the car, that smoky, "oh yeah... I'm in the right place" smell hits you and it's game over. And let's talk about the sides!!!! because a lot of BBQ spots crush the meat but treat the sides like an afterthought. Not here. The sides are fully starring in the show right alongside the BBQ. The staff is also a huge part of why this place stays top-tier. Everyone is super friendly from the moment you walk in, and they're constantly keeping the dining area spotless...clearing trays, wiping tables, and somehow appearing exactly when you need something. At one point they even noticed we needed a to-go box before we did. That kind of service deserves a slow clap. This was my third visit, and I already know it won't be my last. Lewis's has me in a BBQ chokehold...in the best way.

    Brisket, Mac & cheese, fries, coleslaw, & pulled pork
    Alanis S.

    Soooo good! Seriously some of the best BBQ i've ever had & that says a lot. Every one working was very nice and helpful as well! Will definitely be recommending this place to people and returning frequently. The brisket btw was to die for! The location on the belt line is really nice too, so on a nice day you can sit in their patio then walk around.

    Brisket and ribs

    This is a little difficult to find. It's hidden behind the grocery store. The staff were great. The brisket, pulled pork, and ribs were all great! The Mac n cheese and fries were just okay. I didn't like any of the sauces. I would only recommend the meats and none of the sides. Bathrooms were clean.

    Brisket, ribs, Mac and cheese, collard greens, potato salad

    10/10 amazing food! Came in for the grand opening and I'm so glad I did because the food was phenomenal. Atlanta needed a really good bbq spot. The service were great and they seemed prepared for the opening. Plenty of seating and I can't wait to check out the bar across the hall.

The food came out fresh and did not take a long time to be prepared. I enjoyed every bite of my sandwich. It was flavorful and the portion size was great. Essentially you can eat 1/2 of the sandwich and save the other half for a second meal. Now the bread pudding was a disappointment. It was dry and lacked flavor, I would not recommend. My friend enjoyed her tuna melt, the only feedback she had was that the press did not allow for the inside of the sandwich to be warm. She thought the entire sandwich would be warm. I will be back for the chicken Caesar salad sandwich for sure !!

The service at Sean's is always polite and high-energy plus they're super knowledgeable about their menu selections. Another plus is there's always plenty of parking which isn't always the case around the park. Only slight downside is there's no indoor seating but on pretty days, it's very pleasant eating on their covered patio.

For an $8 drink, it tasted mostly like milk with very little matcha flavor. We politely asked if a bit more matcha could be added, and the response we received from the employee was surprisingly unfriendly. To make matters worse, the matcha wasn't freshly prepared or whisked, it appeared to come pre-mixed from a squeeze bottle, which felt disappointing given the price point.
