I truly see why this place has high stars! Its a little tricky to find if its your first time but the food is completely worth the hunt! I got the brisket sandwich with the house BBQ sauce and coleslaw. I chowed it down so quickly I forgot to snag a picture! The brisket is "pulled" not sliced and they do a great job of piling it on high! I was a little disappointed that they forgot to put my coleslaw in my bag but the deliciousNess of everything made up for it. Its tucked away inside of a multiuse space along with a coffeeshop. read more

Not enough people are talking about the fried chicken biscuit! The line should be out the door (but I'm glad it's not). As far as simple chicken biscuits go, this is quite possibly the best one I've had--juicy chicken, tender biscuit. You can trust me. Credentials: I've eaten a lot of fried chicken and I've eaten a lot of biscuits. read more

South End Smokehouse - Fried chicken (and scrambled egg) biscuits with the house BBQ sauce on the side - Barbeque Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

My review is long overdue for this spot! I never understood being a regular since I like to try out new spots but this has been one of those spots for me and this is one of my favorite bbq spots in Atlanta! Their brisket, ribs (mostly offered on weekend), smoked wings, and chicken are so so good!!! Being on a health journey, ive been eating more chicken but I just can't stand bland rotisserie chicken. Im so glad i found chicken that has so much flavor that I don't get sick of! Try it with Carolina mustard, its so addicting! Location wise, South End is in front of Chamblee City Hall, located inside Chamblee Tap & Market where there's a coffe stall, and soon to be burger/Asian food stall. South End also offers breakfast so they have you covered for any type of meals you're craving! On top of it all, everyone that works there are genuinely friendly! read more

Everything was delicious. My first time trying a Brisket Cheesesteak 1,000/10! Brisket totchos amazing combo of tots, Brisket and toppings. Wings and ribs were perfectly seasoned. The service was amazing, there was a misunderstanding on our order. And they were kind enough to bring us the correct order, then came back out and gave us the original order as well. Love the family friendly atmosphere games were available to keep everyone entertained. read more

Average at best. Out of collard greens. Sandwiches were lukewarm warm. Tater tots super salty. Bbq beans were a win. Sweet tea was warm and melted the ice. Parking was sparse. Server was icy. read more

Let me tell you something: I am picky about eating efficiently and CLEANLY. As in, I do not want my fingers wrecked halfway through a meal. This place delivered. The salad came in a deep Chipotle-style bowl, big enough that nothing spilled over even after I added the dressing, which came on the side without me having to ask. THANK YOU. The sandwich was huge, so I split it. The meat was already scooped and circled like a scoop of ice cream, which made halving it effortless. The bread held everything in place instead of shoving the filling out with every bite. Chicken was juicy. Mac was delicious. My fingers were CLEAN. My only regret is not getting the banana pudding 10 out of 5, and I cannot wait to come back. read more

Had a first lunch at South End Smokehouse and really enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich with slaw and spicy BBQ sauce and potato salad. Recommend! read more

This little place tucked away in downtown Chamblee is definitely worth the trip! As one of the employees t-shirt says 'The turkey doesn't suck'. It was delicious, perfectly juicy and smokey. The ribs were spot on too. Collards and potato salad were good too! read more

South End Smokehouse is located inside Chamblee Tap and Market. There's plenty of seating inside and it's obvious that this is a meet up, study, or remote work spot for the locals. Order is at the counter and quick and easy. They have a $15 lunch special which is sandwich of the day, a side, and a homemade cookie. The day I was there, the sandwich was turket. I ended up going for the brisket cheesesteak and a side of potato salad which was roughly $25 before tip. That said, the brisket cheesesteak was massive with consideration for the whole presentation. The bread was crunchy and soft and the melted provolone added a subtle flavor to the smoked meat. I do think I would have liked a bit more peppers and onions but it also may have distracted from tbe brisket so that's very much a personal preference thing. The potato salad popped - both visually and taste wise. Plenty of mustard and nice soft potatoes without being mushy and slimy. It was an excellent compliment. I also got the house sauce to go with the brisket. The cashier recommended doing their spicy sauce and in hindsight, I think she was right. They have four sauces and I'd want to be back to try the rest. All in all, this is a welcome addition to tbe Chamblee area. I definitely see this as a lunch spot for young professionals or an after work meet up when the bar is open. I plan to be back and explore other parts of the menu. read more

South End Smokehouse - Brisket cheesesteak, potato salad, house sauce - Barbeque Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

So I have been here a couple of time and it's pretty cool of a place. They have indoor and outdoor seating. It's right across from the Chamblee Town Hall... So you can't miss it. This place is still in development as a whole but the smokehouse part in the building is perfectly fine and intact. You may not know it's there but once you walk through, you will see it. Coming in to the area you have free parking. It may not be right next door but there are plenty of parking areas that don't have to worry about paying so that is not a concern. There's a lot of outdoor seating, so you can walk out in and eat and drink or even if you want to go across the street as well. There are a few walkable areas that you can go to, so it'll be nice for a great evening out to grab some beers. Be outside. The service has been good every time I've went. Everybody it's been really cool they they talk very highly about the menu and the food and give you the suggestions on. You may want to try. You can sit out and have a seat in. They'll bring the food to you or you come get it, and they're really chatty and friendly during this process. Brisket cheesesteak - I initially went for brisket but is good. I wanted to give it a try so I tried the brisket cheese steak which is basically like a Philly cheesesteak. It has all the melted cheese and it has the hoagie roll and it has the peppers and onions on it, it's really good actually. It's so much that you can barely close the sandwich but that's not a bad problem to have LOL. They have a couple of different sauces you can try, but you probably won't need the sauces because it's already decently flavorful. And there's so much of it that you won't need anything else really. Probably after you finish eating it. Tater tots - they were tater tots LOL. Nothing more Collard greens - the collard greens didn't really have a lot of flavor to them. This was a bit much to be desired. They had meaning them so you know that they smoke meat and put it in the greens but they didn't have any flavor to them. So I probably would not get these again. Overall, this is a really good spot if you want to duck off a little bit and have a beer and some patio time. This area is still building so they're going to be a lot more things there so just keep that in mind but right now, this is probably the main event aside from the beer bar, to go to for this establishment. read more

Yummy BBQ here! I've been here around 3 times so I think that's good enough to give a final verdict. I've tried the sliced chicken BBQ sandwich and it is GOOD. The sweet & spicy sauce is even better. Do yourself a favor and add coleslaw to the sandwich. I love the tater tots, but the potato salad side wasn't my favorite. I brought two colleagues here and they tried the brisket and pork sandwiches and they both said this was some of the best BBQ that they'd ever had! Wow! Since this place is inside the "food hall", you order at the counter and then have a seat wherever you'd like and then they text you. I like the ambiance of the tap market and it's a great place to grab lunch with colleagues and then have a coffee afterwards! The only thing that I don't like is the parking, we ended up parking behind Chamblee City Hall which isn't bad, but just not as convenient. Needless to say, I'll be back. read more

Yes!!! Love South End. I am huge bbq fan and am so glad I discovered them. We visited the Chamblee Market and found out South End had their smokehouse inside. It's difficult to find great bbq these days because everyone thinks they have mastered it. I will say South End has... (in my opinion). We've been multiple times. We typically get the platter so we can try different things. All the proteins are great and the mac n cheese..... So good!!! It's in a great location if you like beer as well. On the other side of the market there are many choices on tap. You can find anything you'd prefer to wash your bbq down with. read more

South End Smokehouse - Barbeque Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

Short version: Pulled pork sandwich, tots, cookie & drink = $14 (lunch special) Everything was hot/fresh, & packaged well for to-go. The grilled chicken salad was sold-out quickly! Longer version: I ordered pulled pork sandwich, fries, drink and they gave me a free cookie. Tots were h-o-t and fresh. Great portion of pork on a bun and wrapped in a foil type paper. Included all 4 sauces that were packaged perfectly as to not spill. Meat was expertly seasoned, moist but not so much it made the bun a sopping mess. Met the owner Clarissa and her husband. The cook is a little slow but I'm chalking it up to a lunch time crowd. The grilled chicken salad was ordered over and over to the point that they sold out by 12:15. We'll definitely return. read more

South End Smokehouse - Pulled pork sandwich - Barbeque Near Me - Chamblee, Georgia

This hidden spot is not one to miss. I spent 10 years in FL and missed GA BBQ! Since I have been back, this place meets my GA BBQ standards. This is what I was craving. This is a local family owned business. The owners were so friendly and definitely have a passion for their craft The owners care about the product being put out. I had the brisket sandwich that had so much meat that I made a 2nd sandwich out of the pork that fell out. Lol. I highly recommend putting the slaw right on top of the brisket. This is a 2 fister and 20 napkin kind of lunch. It was cold outside but sat in the sun at a picnic table and enjoyed the heck out of it. read more

We stumbled into this cool place and found South End Smokehouse. It was SO GOOD!! My husband had a brisket sandwich and I had a brisket plate with coleslaw and tater tots. Everything was really good. The brisket was delicious and seasoned uniquely! I loved how they cut it in cubes instead of sliced. Just a nice touch. Everything was so good. And I just ate left overs. Brisket in the air frier with really good bbq sauce. Delish! This was located in Chamblee Tap and Market. Very cool place. Looks like fun activities throughout the week too We can't wait to go back!! Oh! We enjoyed Buzz, the owner. Very nice. I felt like we were hanging in his home! read more

I asked for my brisket sandwich with the sauce on the side. That's the way I judge brisket. The gentleman tried to convince me to sauce it, I insisted, sauce on the side. I would urge them to let the customer decide, the brisket sandwich needed no sauce, it was outstanding. Had the Mac and Cheese and coleslaw as sides. They did a great job. Bravo! read more

Tried this place for the first time and it was pretty good. I had the brisket sandwich and was shocked at how much meat was on it. It was half the size of a baseball. This is a nice little gem here in the chamblee area. I will go back again! read more

What's not to love? Food is bone sucking delicious, sides are on point and one of few places in atlanta that value southern sweet tea without rotting your teeth. read more

Food is excellent. Brisket is the best I've had in Atlanta. It is located in a "market" type building. When we arrived there was a mahjong club playing. There are boxed games. The 'Tap" wasn't open, I'm sure it would have added to the ambiance. The restaurant serving area is very poorly planned - or I should say it's not planned. The people are walking all over each other behind the counter. The walk way thru is too narrow for 2 or 3 people to be working back there. The cook has to cross behind the register to put the orders on shelves before they are picked up. The register area is too small to be efficient. It wasn't really busy when we were there, I can't imagine how this would work when they are very busy. Please reassess the layout for the counter service. You are creating a lot of problems for yourselves. read more

Life changing brisket! If you could ever dream of what brisket should be and then multiply it times five you would have an understanding of how incredible this brisket is. It's better than I would say most world champion briskets. It's the brisket that I can't even stop thinking about. And the people who run the place are so incredibly gracious and nice and family owned down to earth fabulous. Highly recommend go check out the brisket and all the other things and support this small business that is so deserving of all the accolades. I only eat brisket everywhere I go for barbecue and none could even come close to this, even my all-time favorites have been totally overtaken by south end smokehouse. The brisket is so tender and juicy you got fat and you got meat. You got flavor you got outside you got inside big fat chunks and the sauces are so good. It's just perfection on a plate. read more

Stopped by Chamblee Tap & Market and tried Southend Smoke House for the first time. Loved the brisket; great taste and moist, and I really appreciated that it was cut into cubes Favorite sauce was the vinegar mustard, the best I've ever had - not too vinegar Also had coleslaw, which was shredded thin, crisp, and not overdressed read more

Delicious, Smokey, juicy, flavorful! Even the sauces were amazing. The spicy was my favorite! The atmosphere was amazing 10 and 10 I would go back! read more

Great team of guys that are really putting in the effort for some damn good barbecue! The brisket was so juicy and the chicken was the best I've had in Atlanta by far. It was well smoked and super moist, almost rotisserie but not greasy. The potato salad is legit and Cole slaw was not all mayo like you get at some other places. If this team remains focused on what they are doing, it will explode into a much larger opportunity one day, it's that good! read more

Great BBQ spot! The brisket was super tender, and the ribs had awesome flavor--even without sauce. Sides were solid too, especially the mac and cheese. Friendly staff and chill atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit if you're craving good BBQ. I didn't get to take a lot of pictures because I was too busy eating read more

Ordered chicken and pork sandwich specials. Chicken was good. Pork, I'm not sure because it looked and tasted a lot like brisket but that sandwich was good too. Cookies were great. Side of Mac tasted cheesy and was better than other places. Plenty of seating in the building to eat at if you want to eat in. Friendly staff gave several choices of sauce. My pork or brisket sandwich didn't need sauce. Excellent chicken sandwich read more

Absolutely awesome bbq! Yesterday was our first visit and we will be back. We tried brisket, pulled pork, 5 different bbq sauces, mac and cheese, coleslaw and collards. Everything was 5 stars. read more

First visit here exceeded expectations. Been less than impressed with the bbq offerings in the Brookhaven/Chamblee area. Yes, that includes Fox, OBP, P&C etc. This place however, will definitely fill that void for me. I'll start w the ribs, the rub was on point which made the bark pop with that sweet heat we love in BBQ. Perfect competition bite, great chew but not overcooked ie. "fall of the bone". Ate 1/2 rack that seriously needed no sauce, they spoke for themselves. Chicken, they use thighs rather than breast, again competition style but wo the skin,and they nailed it. Great rub, hint of smoke, and the thighs always stay juicy. Pulled pork, yes pulled not shredded, was great pork flavor, not too much brining, complimented well with either their great mustard base or vinegar base. Their vinegar base is simple yet classic, the mustard took me back to my SC roots and that flavor I look for. Also tried the sausage which was solid, but had to save room for the ribs. Didn't try Brisket this time, but will definitely next time, I got a feeling they nailed that as well though. As far as the sides, beans were excellent, sweet hint again, with great balance. Collards were great as well as slaw. These were not only my opinions, but my wife's as well, and she's very particular about her bbq. Oh, and not to mention the staff and owners were all 5 stars as well. Glad to have you guys nextdoor. Go see these guys, you won't regret it. read more

Delicious food and well worth the quick drive off Peachtree... tried the grain bowl with brisket and brisket cheesesteak. Good smoked brisket and full of flavor. Little fatty but nothing wrong with that. Very cool spot to eat, grab a drink. Staff was helpful and the market is a great place!! read more

Must try place! It was my first time going today and it was amazing, I went with my mom and we both loved it. She got brisket and even though I'm not a beef person it was the best beef brisket I've ever had, The pulled pork and turkey was amazing. And their Mac and cheese was to die for, it was a perfect complement to all of the meat. They were so nice and answered all of our questions. If you're able to definitely check it out. read more
