Our son and DIL recently went and had a good experience and asked if they could take us -- and who is going to turn down BBQ?! We went in around 5:45pm on a Saturday and got seated quickly, but the place filled up pretty quick after us. Ayla (?) was our server, and extremely sweet and knows that menu! We did have two flies buzzing around us in our corner which were quick and we only eventually killed one of the two -- part of the reason for the 3 and not a 4. Two of us ordered the ribeye, one got the chopped brisket, and one got a salad with chicken. The ribeyes were tasty, they just lacked the marbling found in a good steak at that price. (Another reason for the 3) And the chopped brisket was more shredded and wasn't as moist as you'd expect -- even after asking for some fattier pieces. (Final reason for the 3) sides were good -- TONS of onion rings/straws, delicious mashed potatoes and green beans. Overall: server was great, minor improvements needed on the food, and something needs to be done to deal with the flies INSIDE the restaurant.

To whom it may heavily concern,…read more On June 12, 2026, I Mr. Jorael White " African- American Male" entered the establishment of Williamson Bros Bar-B-Q located in Marietta, Georgia at 1425 Roswell Rd as a paying customer to place a take-out order. Upon entering the establishment, the restaurant was not overcrowded, and weather conditions outside were extremely hot, approximately 89 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. After waiting for the customer ahead of me to be served, I placed a take-out order consisting of one brisket sandwich and one order of hush puppies. Following completion of my order, I observed available seating located directly adjacent to the designated take-out area near the restaurant bar. Before occupying the seating, I asked the front counter Attendant, who processed my order, whether the seating area was available for me to use while waiting for my order. He expressly informed me that the seating was available and I could wait there. I then approached the seating area where one elderly male patron was seated. I politely greeted him and asked whether surrounding seats were occupied by anyone else. He informed me that the seats were available. Shortly after sitting down, I was approached by a female employee, "Caucasian", approximately middle-aged, who asked whether I intended to order alcoholic beverages. I respectfully declined and informed her that I had recently placed a take-out order with the front counter associate and step aside to wait for my food. I further stated that I would not be consuming alcohol because I needed to drive home safely, but I would accept a glass of water. Immediately after hearing my response, the employee informed me "if you're not ordering an alcoholic beverage, you can't sit at the bar" I reiterated that I was already a paying customer waiting on an active order. Despite this explanation, I was again informed that unless I purchased an alcoholic beverage, I could not sit there. I then stood up, collected my belongings, and relocated myself to wait for my items. This interaction caused me to feel very uncomfortable, unwelcome, and singled out as a paying customer. I was left with highs concerns that I may have been treated very indifferent from those of my peers and other patrons present in the establishment. I am documenting this event because I believe the circumstances warrant review regarding whether unequal treatment or slight discriminatory conduct occurred.

After hearing about Dave Poe's BBQ for over a decade and constantly seeing it ranked as one of the…read moretop barbecue spots in Atlanta, I finally made the stop--and all I can say is: WOW. I'm kicking myself for waiting this long! I ordered the pulled pork lunch special with collard greens, sweet tea, and a side of their legendary redneck lasagna--and I took it to-go. Even after the drive, the food was still piping hot, fresh, and absolutely bursting with flavor. I can only imagine how amazing it would be straight off the line and eaten in-house. The pulled pork sandwich? Hands down, the best I've ever had. The meat was tender, juicy, perfectly smoked, and the bun was soft but hearty--just phenomenal. The collards were seasoned to perfection, and the redneck mac was rich, cheesy, and decadent in all the right ways. I'm honestly overwhelmed by how delicious everything was. After living in the area for 10 years and finally trying Dave Poe's, I now understand what all the hype is about. I've seriously been missing out, and I won't make that mistake again. If you haven't been, go. This is Southern BBQ at its absolute finest.

My mom and I were in Dunwoody and craving bbq…read more This place had high ratings on both Yelp and Google and was 26 minutes away on a Friday during rush hour. We entered and at first I was concerned because there were only two people in the restaurant. We ordered and received our food quickly and from the first bite of brisket I was hooked!!! We had the collards, mac & cheese, baked beans and Brunswick Stew. I was not happy with the Brunswick Stew but I'm hard to please on that item. I haven't had good batch in years. The people that know how to prepare it properly don't work in restaurants. Was charged $1 for two extra slices of bread. Uhhhhh really...it's bbq! Another drawback for me was the young lady working the register was pulling at the skin on her lips and I remember thinking oh lord she has her hands on her mouth, the register, the phone and everything else. I realize some people have nervous tendencies and try not to be too obnoxious when dining out but I sure miss the days of face masks and gloves. While we ate more and more people came in and when we left there was six people dining in, multiple pick up order, so it's a steady flow of people. The condiments station was neat and tidy. The restaurant itself is decorated with cute signage and quotes which lead to a relaxing environment. I grabbed a catering menu as I was leaving because everything was so delicious I have to convince my employer to treat us to bbq this summer. You can't go wrong with the strawberry lemonade.

Normally, I'm driving 20-30 minutes or more trying to find decent ribs and brisket, and half the time I end up disappointed. Owens & Co. absolutely knocked it out of the park. And don't be fooled by the location. From the side, you might think you're walking into some small "wannabe" BBQ joint. Walk through the front door and that impression disappears immediately. This is a real restaurant--with great service, great atmosphere, and, most importantly, GREAT food. We showed up around 12:50 on a Saturday afternoon, and I had my favorite lunch partner with me--my wifey--which made discovering this place even better. It wasn't very crowded yet, but the smell when we walked in was hypnotic. Smoked meats, BBQ, and all those incredible sides hitting you at once. The space itself is really nice, too, with huge windows and a great view. Then, while we were eating, the crowd started building both at the attached brewery and inside the restaurant. Before long, the whole place was buzzing with energy. I can't say enough about the team at Owens & Co. I don't remember everyone's names yet, but I plan on learning them because WE WILL be back. Great BBQ, great people, a great atmosphere, and a great Saturday lunch with my wifey. What more can you ask for? If you're anywhere nearby and you love real BBQ, check these folks out. They are the real deal!!

We ordered the brisket, pulled pork, lemon pepper wings, half slab of ribs, mac and cheese, and coleslaw, and everything was flavorful and cooked just right. The brisket was tender, the ribs fell off the bone, and the lemon pepper wings were some of the best we've had. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Chandler, who was working the register, went above and beyond. Not only was he friendly and welcoming when we ordered, but he also walked around the dining room checking on everyone, making sure guests were enjoying their meals, and even helped clear our table. That level of hospitality is hard to find these days and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Great food, amazing service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

As we got our drinks, we sampled some of the barbecue sauces that they have. There is a huge selection of all different types. We sat outside on the back porch, which was nice. The meal was pretty good. I enjoyed the barbecue the coleslaw is standard coleslaw. Nothing special . We did not get any desserts. I would go back again and try the pulled pork or the burnt ends.

Now, I never write reviews, but this brisket was just so bad I had to warn other barbecue lovers not to let themselves down. The meat had no bark on most of the pieces, and also there was no smoke ring. Not sure if it was made in an oven or what. Overall it lacked that delicious salty smokey flavor that makes brisket so amazing. On top of that it was quite chewy and just an unpleasant texture overall. That said, the restaurant was clean and the staff friendly. I just hope they can improve their smoking technique to make the food worthwhile.
