    Brisket and Rib Tips
    Charles D.

    I got two meats and two sides: The brisket was dry and chewy while the rib tips had no flavor and the sauce tasted only of mashed tomatoes. The coleslaw was meh tasting like the cabbage was over soaked in vinegar and layered with poppy seeds. Luckily: the potato chips were outstanding - delicious, and straight from the bag (not made by the restaurant).

    (3.5) This place was good. Near my departing gate, my mom and I stopped here for dinner. Virginia was our server and she was great, especially for being the only one working the dining room. Mustard Seed also offered a to go kiosk which could be convenient. They had some cute, airport themed drinks. We decided to try the Takeoff Martini (espresso martini) and the Layover Lemonade. Both drinks were fine, definitely on the sweeter side. We also ordered the pork nachos which were good and the coleslaw and corn bread muffins. The corn bread muffins were surprisingly really good, warm and fresh, they were tasty on their own. The coleslaw was yummy too, creamy and refreshing. This place was good. Not sure I'd stop here again if in this airport, but the service and food was decent.

    Atl Airport BBQ by Delaware North. Ambiance-Better than expected, clean..3 stars Service- Corey was on point...made sure i had what i needed. Brisk, attentive. Gave me a taste of the greens when I asked about them. 4 stars Food-Have not had "good" bbq in the South yet. It was ok. Rib tips were stewed to mush. Brisket was decent, as was the mac n cheese. Coleslaw was "ok". Would eat here again under duress. 3 stars

    Not the best service as others have mentioned. I witnessed it firsthand as well. People coming in getting ignored and just leaving. They were out of so many items and the TV's were so loud with the games playing on TV. I loved pulled pork, the brisket, the green beans and coleslaw. Sad I didn't get to try the ribs or chicken. Once they can Google how to make enough food and then work on their service etiquette they might go places.

    My husband and I visited this location while waiting for our flight. The service was good, the food was also pretty darn tasty. The Texas toast is not true garlic toast, it was two slices of bread- wouldn't recommend. The meat was tasty though so that was a win!!

    I love barbecue. But I made a fatal mistake. Ordering brisket outside of Texas. Service was a little slow at first. I wanted pulled pork. They were out. I wanted mac and cheese. They were out. I ordered brisket and pulled chicken. The brisket was disappointing. No bark, the smoke ring was small, and it wasn't cooked long enough to be tender. Why did I think Georgia thought they could make good brisket? The BBQ sauce made it edible. The pulled chicken was better. Flavorful and moist. The best part of the meal were the green beans. I don't know the type, but they are the flat green beans. Very flavorful.

    I had a bit of a long layover so I decided to spend some time here. The food was pretty good and hit the spot. I got the chicken plate with potato salad and mac & cheese. I had ordered pork but the they were out. The food was within budget and the waitress was excellent. Someone next to me ordered a breakfast sandwich and was told they were out of that as well. I'd certainly pop in here for a bite again.

    I chose the one meat, 2 sides combo. I got the brisket, with greens and country potato salad. The brisket was better than I expected. Potato salad was also better than I expected Greens were acceptable. Sweet tea was.. extra sweet. All in all, a nice stop.

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.

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...

This particular morning in Atlanta was no different. As I pushed uninspired scrambled eggs around my plate I did what any food-obsessed traveler does: I opened the Michelin Guide. Surely Atlanta had something worth driving for before the afternoon meetings began. The city's Michelin stars leaned heavily toward pristine sushi counters where lunch could easily become a three-hour exercise in restraint and expense. Not today. Instead, a Bib Gourmand caught my eye. Heirloom Market BBQ. The address looked odd. The photos looked even stranger. Was Michelin seriously recommending what appeared to be a convenience store? Naturally, I was intrigued. The closer I looked, the less it resembled your grandfather's barbecue joint. Yes, there was brisket and pork. But there was also kimchi. Pickled vegetables. Gochujang. Color. Acid. Freshness. Suddenly the idea of barbecue for lunch didn't feel like signing up for an afternoon food coma. By 11:30, I was standing in line beside construction workers, office employees, and locals who clearly knew something I didn't. I ordered the smoked, diced, and braised spicy pork topped with kimchi slaw and cucumber kimchi. Korean barbecue sauce arrived on the side. For good measure, I added the green tomato kimchi--a mix of sweet and spicy pickled green tomatoes, jalapeños, and radishes. The pork was everything good barbecue should be. Tender without falling apart. Smoky without becoming bitter. Moist without relying on sauce. Deeply satisfying in that primitive way smoked meat always seems to be. The green tomato kimchi was extraordinary. Bright, crunchy, layered with acidity, sweetness, and just enough jalapeño heat to keep your attention. Every bite reset your palate before the next forkful of pork. It's the kind of side dish that refuses to stay a side dish. The Korean barbecue sauce deserves its own paragraph. Gochujang led the charge, backed by enough vinegar to cut through the richness and enough heat to remind you someone in the kitchen enjoys having fun. Against all odds, I managed to finish lunch without wearing any of it on my green Oxford shirt. A personal victory. Heirloom Market isn't polished. Service is efficient rather than memorable. You order, you eat, you leave. That's the point. What lingers isn't the hospitality. It's the confidence. This kitchen knows exactly what it wants to be. Southern barbecue filtered through Korean flavors isn't a gimmick here--it's the language they speak fluently. The entire meal reminded me of La Barbecue in Austin, another place where smoke is only part of the conversation. Michelin eventually rewarded La Barbecue with a star. Heirloom may still wear the Bib Gourmand designation, but when it comes to flavor, it's operating in the same league. Will I return? Without hesitation. Sometimes the best meal in town isn't hidden behind velvet curtains or reservation apps. Sometimes it's tucked inside what looks like an old convenience store, quietly reminding everyone that extraordinary food rarely cares about appearances.

The only item that fell a little flat for me was the wings. That said, both my sister and my spouse really enjoyed them, so it may have just come down to personal preference. The service was a little slow, and it took a while before we were able to place our orders, but our server was pleasant and friendly throughout the meal. Overall, I was very impressed. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and everyone in our group left full with enough leftovers for the next day. I'd definitely come back!
