My first visit to Sweet Auburn BBQ was long overdue, and I honestly left wondering why it took me so long to make it there. What initially brought me in was Atlanta Burger Week, and I ordered their featured burger to take advantage of the special. While the burger was good, the real star of the meal was the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket. It was absolutely fantastic. The brisket was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. The fried rice itself was packed with flavor and had such a unique, smoky taste that perfectly complemented the barbecue. It is not often that a side dish completely steals the show, but this one certainly did. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food arrived promptly, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. It is always exciting to discover a restaurant that delivers something a little different, and Sweet Auburn BBQ does exactly that by blending flavors and cuisines in a way that feels both creative and comforting. I left full, impressed, and honestly a little disappointed in myself for waiting so long to visit. This definitely will not be my last trip, and I already know the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket will be ordered again. read more

We were headed outta the area till I caught a whiff of that smoked meat smell. First things first, loved the ambiance here. From the great artwork, the poster walled bathroom (super clean) to the badass bar area. Loved the vibes. Super cool waitress. I'm horrible with names. Short chick, glasses, chill af. Sweet Auburn give her a raise. If you can't identify her, give all the waiters/ress a raise, just to be sure lol. Now the food. Onion rings were on point. Love a great, crispy onion ring that makes me forget I hate onions. Fries with great. Even better with the vinegar BBQ sauce table side. Wife loved the Mac and cheese. Super creamy. For me, there wasn't a meat they served me I didn't enjoy in my mouth. Said what I said. Again, don't sleep on the vinegar BBQ sauce. Finally the drinks. Only had two, but loved that they had a selection of seltzers for the wifey. That and the bartender crafted an amazing old fashion. Compliments to them. Overall, we will be back for more. Easily a great BBQ joint just off ponce and outside the heavy traffic areas of PCM. Go, now. read more

Scammy with prices. I went to the ladies night and happy hour. The food and drinks were great but the wait staff didn't apply the discounts so I was charged full price. I followed up by email. They applied the discount but didn't readjust the tax or tip. I followed up with them twice and they ignored my email. They are keeping money that they wouldn't be entitled to has the waitstaff totaled the bill correctly. I also ordered a beer that was not on the menu. It was $12. The waiter should have told me about that when I ordered. Skip this place. read more

We went with friends who know the place well. The pimento wontons for the table were an excellent start. The sandwiches were a perfect portion size for a night out. Service was good, and the whole vibe was relaxed and fun. The collards were okay, not great, but very fresh. The Southern Seoul sandwich was excellent. read more

I walked into Sweet Auburn BBQ expecting solid barbecue. What I got was a place operating at a level most spots never reach. Start with the service. Impeccable. Not good. Not decent. Impeccable. The server knew the menu inside out. Every recommendation landed exactly where it needed to. That sets the tone. You trust the kitchen before the food even hits the table. That matters. Now let's talk reality. This place is stepping into the ring with Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. And here's the difference. I walked in. Sat down. No 40 minute wait. No chaos. Just straight to business. That alone earns respect. Appetizers first. Cornbread. A surprise. Slightly sweet, balanced, not dry. I expected average. I got better. 4 out of 5. Then the Wu-Tang wings. This is where things changed. 10 out of 10. No hesitation. Perfect heat. A sweet edge that hits first, then the spice builds without overwhelming. Crisp outside, juicy inside. Dip it in ranch or blue cheese and it elevates even further. This is the kind of dish you think about the next day. Pimento cheese wontons. 5 out of 5. Crunch on the outside. Rich, creamy, sharp flavor inside. No shortcuts here. Every bite is deliberate. Now the mains. Brisket. Tender, properly smoked, clean bark, fat rendered right. No dryness, no shortcuts. Ribs. Balanced, flavorful, cooked with precision. No falling apart mess. They hold structure, which tells you everything about technique. And yes, we ran the wings back again. That says enough. One miss on the table. Bulgogi salad. 3 out of 5. Not bad. Not memorable. When everything else hits this hard, average stands out. Ambience is dialed in. Casual but intentional. You feel comfortable. You feel like you're in the right place. This is not hype. This is execution. 5 out of 5. I walked in curious. I left impressed. I will be back. read more

We went last night for Valentine's dinner and enjoyed our first visit to this Atlanta treasure! They had it decorated for Valentine's Day and the staff was very welcoming. We did not have a reservation but were able to be seated quickly at 5:30pm but it was packed by 6:15 pm. We had brisket egg rolls (good, 7/10) and pimento cheese fried wontons (great, 8/10) for our appetizers with a house Margarita and old fashion. Our son and I got the pick 2 or 3 meats with 2 sides combos. Brisket (10/10), pulled pork (9/10), sausage (10/10) and wings (8/10) were all delicious. The Mac and cheese was a 12/10!! So yummy!!! Greens and Brussels sprouts were so good both were a 9/10!! Hubby got the SMOKED BRISKET RENDANG. It was yummy. (8/10) We all got a different dessert and we'd all get them again. Banana pudding was whipped, light and fluffy (9/10)! Pecan pie with bourbon ice cream was a 10/10 and our son loved the bread pudding and the ice cream. He said 11/10! The only issue I had was they don't give you a bill or even show you a list of what you are paying for. It's those handheld machines and he just showed us the total. I wanted to ask to see the charges but my husband would not have liked that! lol. I'm just curious as we paid for our drinks at the bar and I thought the total was more than what I calculated. So I am curious if there are fees. I also bought 2 stickers for $3 each and the total was $7 because I paid in cash. read more

When they asked us if we wanted a "traditional chinese smokehouse experience" I have to admit I was skeptical. BUT they really delivered. We got appetizers and two of the omakase boards (big group) with a variety of sides. Standouts to me were: brussel sprouts, brisket egg rolls, sweet potato fries, and brisket. Lemon pepper wings were also really good! Everyone there seemed to be having a good time. They have a few TVs on the walls broadcasting sports if you're into that vibe. The waiters and waitresses were friendly and food came out fairly quick! read more

The atmosphere in the restaurant was crowded when we arrived to dine for dinner on a Saturday night. Noise level was average for a crowded place. Seating area may be a bit tight if you're claustrophobic. You'll need to find street parking or paid parking lot next to the restaurant prior to arrival. The food was heavy but, delicious as expected. We ordered the Omakase BBQ to be shared by 4 ppl. We had enough food for all and still had some left overs for take away. read more

Cute little place with bustling business and good reviews. Walked by and food looked yummy so I decided to stop in. Friendly staff and good service, nice decor on the walls. Brisket was a little dry but ribs were tasty. Mac and cheese was cheesy overload with more cheese melted on top. First time trying the grits. Also got the banana pudding which was small for the $8 price tag. Heard the fried rice was good and the egg rolls. Left feeling satiated but without leftovers. Maybe I ordered the wrong things but for $30 felt I could get much more food elsewhere. read more

I had a great experience at Sweet Auburn BBQ. We came for one of their pop up that week which they do often with different chefs. We had sliders, ribs and wings. They have the coolest bathroom ever and even surprised me with a banana pudding for my birthday. Amazing experience and great people. read more

I was in town visiting my friend, who recently moved into the area. She took me to Sweet Auburn BBQ, which is one of her favorite local spots. I can certainly see why she was excited to take me to Sweet Auburn, because the food, service, and overall experience were great. We stopped by the restaurant around 3pm on a Monday. Loved what the restaurant had done to the place with Christmas spirit. I could already tell that the restaurant had character without it, but the holiday decor amplified it even more. We were greeted by Ethan who also helped as our server. He was really friendly and was a big help with going over their menu. Bonus points for the food coming out in a timely manner. We waited no longer than 10 minutes for the dishes to come out, and they all came out at the same time. I enjoyed everything we ate, including the brisket egg rolls, Wu Tang wings, and bulgogi salad. Everything was flavorful and satisfying. It didn't seem like a lot of food at first, but we were so stuffed that we couldn't finish the salad. read more

If you're visiting the Atlanta Christkindl Market at the Lawrenceville Lawn this year, make sure you prioritize a stop at the legendary Sweet Auburn BBQ booth! This Midtown favorite is serving up comfort and flavor you can't miss. Must-Try Menu Items: The Mac n Cheese is absolutely legendary--creamy, cheesy perfection. The Chocolate Chip Cookies are simply the best holiday treat. But nothing beats their Gigantic Warm Pretzel! It's the fluffiest, butteriest Giant Pretzel I saw throughout the entire event. The staff was incredibly warm and accommodating. Service with a smile, even as the line grew! I was lucky to grab my order--prepared within minutes--thanks to a sweet young lady who took my order. It's been a minute since I've been to the Midtown Atlanta location, but this market stop reminds me I need to hit up Sweet Auburn BBQ again soon! LAST DAY OF THIS EVENT IS 12/24 Go get that pretzel and let me know your favorite item! #ashsaidit #SweetAuburnBBQ #AtlantaChristkindlMarket #LawrencevilleLawn #GwinnettCounty #ATLeats #AtlantaFoodie #GiantPretzel #BBQMacnCheese #MidtownAtlanta #GermanChristmasMarket #ChristmasMarketFood #AtlantaBBQ #GwinnettEats #FoodVendor #HolidayTreats #MustEatATL read more

Coming home from Atlanta I googled restaurants near me and this one came up, so we gave it a go! So glad we did! Asian/BBQ at its finest! Nice laid back vibes with exquisite food! The server was so helpful and friendly...making suggestions from the menu and that's what we ordered! Pimento cheese wontons are the BOMB!! Crunchy wontons with creamy pimento cheese inside served with a sweet Thai chili sauce. YOU MUST TRY THESE! We also got the BBQ pulled pork sandwich served on Texas toast and as a barbecue connoisseur I can tell you this sandwich was perfection! Fries were delicious with just the right amount of seasoning. I highly recommend giving this place a try if you're passing through south Atlanta! We will definitely be back! read more

Over in the area and decided to try Sweet Auburn BBQ. We were greeted immediately and seated with a perfect view of the street outside. Our server was so cool and funny. She gave us some great recommendations so we started with the egg roll and then the main course. This food was so delicious! Seasoned perfectly! Fresh and hot! Great ambience and views. There's a paid parking on the side of the building or across the street, if you can find street parking it's free, so you have options. read more

I had been craving a burger for about a week. I saw they had a burger in Atl burger week last year so I decided to try it out. I've never been more pissed off about a $20 burger and I hate taking L's on food. I ordered the wagyu burger online for take out. The beef patties were dry and unseasoned and the brisket was pretty much the same. Please stop entering burger week...it's misleading. read more

I visited on 3-14-2026 with my bro for my third time this was his first time. I've been here a couple of years ago. There is parking behind the building before you get here the sign take a picture of your tag parking with out downloading a app is what my bro did. I remember reading on the website that they validate parking at the restaurant check it out my bro forgot to.I had to get something that I did not try before I got 6 the pimento cheese wontons are bussing with the sweet chili sauce just make sure that you give them time to cool once bought to your table I found out the hard way they are delicious! I also got six wings with the sweet chili sauce and blue cheese can't go wrong with that either. I got a brisket burger to go with sweet potatoe fries. Taste like they are made fresh in house best sweet potato fries I've ever had. I let my bro taste some of mine he said that he would get these as a side next time. My bro got a 3 meat plate with 4 wings brisket and ribs his plate came with 2 sides also he got Mac and cheese and brisket chilli. Also his portions of meat were generous. Definitely worth the trip not a disappointment! read more

I had a truly excellent brunch here while visiting Atlanta. First -- ZERO WAIT on a Sunday? I am sold! Our server, Ethan, was so kind and attentive. We ordered cornbread for the table and a spicy-sweet-savory cornbread is NEVER a bad idea. I ordered the BBQ nachos as my entree and they could've fed an army. The meat was juicy and smoky and so, so delicious. The perfect amount of queso without making the chips too soggy. I could not recommend more! read more

An absolutely perfect brunch! The service was great; as soon as we stepped in the door we were greeted and sat with waters. The interior was cute and had a little Halloween theme for the season. We ordered the cornbread for the table, and it was delicious. Perfectly buttery and moist with little bits of jalapeño and cheese flavor. The real star was the French toast. It was covered in a delicious sweet frosting and maple syrup. Lots of places make theirs too eggy, but this was perfectly battered and cooked. The cheese grits were the perfect savory side with plenty of cheese, and the sausage was incredible. It was perfectly smoky and had a little char on it. This breakfast was so good I'm still dreaming about visiting next time I'm in Atlanta! read more

Unique place where you can get great bbq, awesome vegetables, and some imaginative Asian fusion dishes. The Asian salad is amazing.

I've been wanting to try Sweet Auburn BBQ for a while, and I finally had the chance to visit. On a beautiful Friday evening, my husband and I chose to sit outside. Our server, Connor, was fantastic! He shared some background about the restaurant and recommended his favorite dishes. Since I have a nut allergy, he also provided us with a list of items that contained nuts. We started our meal with two club sodas with lime and the brisket egg rolls, which were delicious--piping hot and fresh. For our main courses, we ordered the Sweet Auburn taco plate with a side of Thai chile Brussels sprouts, and the Wagyu brisket burger with baked beans. The tacos and Brussels sprouts were both tasty. My husband enjoyed his Wagyu burger, but he felt the baked beans were lacking in flavor. There were so many options on the menu that we wanted to try, so we will definitely be back soon! read more

We went to Sweet Auburn with the aim of tasting as much as possible to see if they'd be able to cater an event.

We left with contact details and ordering info, and happy full bellies. read more

My friend and I came here on a Monday night and had to wait about 10 min. It was our first time here. I got the blue plate special (pulled pork or chicken with 2 sides) which is the 1 meat plate & 2 sides for $12. I chose pulled pork, mac & cheese, and brussels sprouts. My friend got the crying tiger brisket sandwich. At first they have my friend a plain brisket sandwich. They eventually brought out the correct sandwich but it was really vinegary/oily. The sides are really small portions. If you buy them by itself, they're $5 and some are upcharged to $7 which isn't worth it. The food was kinda cold. Brussels sprouts and mac & cheese were good but wish it was a bigger portion. They also wouldn't let us use a coupon since the blue plate was already the special and they said only 1 special per table. Service wasn't good. Overpriced mid food. Probably wouldn't come back. read more

The most unique smoke BBQ spots I've tried! The Asian twist really makes every dish stand out -- from the smoky WuTang wings and glazed Chinese spare ribs to the crispy Thai chile Brussels sprouts. I also loved the juicy Wagyu Brisket Burger and the brisket fried rice, which was super comforting. The cocktails were refreshing, and the cinnamon roll bread pudding and pecan pie were the perfect way to end the meal. Great food, cool vibe, and even validated parking. I'll definitely be back! read more

While staying in the ATL area, I went here a couple times. Service was great. Food was yummy. We tried the plate with chicken, ribs and brisket, the wok fried green beans and Mac and cheese. I enjoyed everything but the brisket, unfortunately it was very dry. Wednesdays they do $1 wing day, I was told I can carry out but that ended up not being the case. They did fix it for me and I tried the lemon pepper wet and the garlic parm wings. definitely recommend. read more

Service was excellent. Waitress and bartender both very friendly and helpful in describing menu options. Had a bbq plate and it was pretty decent, Mac n cheese could use more salt but the jerk spiced collards were delicious! Nice heat! Tried the wings on wing Wednesday and they were ok, asked for lemon pepper hot and definitely overdid the lemon pepper vs the heat. They were pretty salty and didn't have as much smoked flavor as I was expecting. Like that there is free street parking but they also have a lot that they validate parking for 2 hours. Had interesting cocktails for their fall menu, tried the Bee's Knees which was really good! They also host trivia on Mondays read more

My friends and I were looking for some post-NYE hangover food after we checked out of our Airbnb and settled on this spot. Did not know what to expect but we were blown away. First off the staff and servers are very attentive and friendly. The manager working that day even came over to introduce herself and ask how our meal was. I got the two meat combo plate with the pulled pork, brisket, pear coleslaw, and sweet potato fries. Everything was very delicious. They have three house sauces, a house bbq sauce, a vinegar-based sauce, and a Chinese bbq sauce. I spent the whole meal dousing each of my food items in the different sauces! They were all delicious but I think the best was the house sauce--would describe it as a non-traditional bbq that's tomatoey then most, but whatever is in there--it's working! Will be back again! read more

The manager was attentive, which I appreciated. The food itself was okay, but nothing exceptional. We ordered the brisket egg rolls, which were good, along with the fried rice m. The portions were generous. We added chili to our nachos, but I wouldn't recommend it. It was very heavy on tomato paste and overpowered the nacho taste. Additionally, there was not a lot of barbecue on the nachos. I also prefer my food to come out hot, and mine was only lukewarm. The biggest disappointment was the dessert. I ordered the homemade banana pudding, but it was mostly whipped cream with very little sweetness, just three banana slices, and three hard vanilla wafers. It didn't resemble true Southern banana pudding at all. I might have been more forgiving if it had at least included more than three slices of banana. read more

Fantastic service and large portions. One of my favorite BBQ restaurants in Atlanta. If you're not into bbq, try their wings!

I absolutely adore this restaurant. Easy validated parking across the street. Friendly staff. And truly fantastic bbq. The menu is fun with some classics. In my opinion they have the best smoked wings in the city and possibly best chopped brisket as well. If I lived any closer to this place it would be a problem for my wallet lol. Highly recommend.

This was a disappointing experience and we will not be back. The only positive parts of our visit were that the staff was very courteous and the sauce on the Chinese rib plate was tasty. We were seated outside, which we didn't mind, but it did seem to make things more inconvenient for the server. Some quick notes from our visit are: - The ribs themselves seemed to be overcooked and were quite tough. - The green beans were NOT cooked enough, crunchy, and seemed almost raw. The server was kind enough to bring it back to the kitchen to have it cooked more, which helped a little. But the taste was strong in the garlic flavor - The toast and pickles were good! - The egg rolls did not have much flavor on their own. They felt more like a vehicle for the sweet and sour sauce. But they have a good texture and crunch. read more

Sweet Auburn BBQ features delicious BBQ and southern classics with an Asian twist, a nod to sibling owners Howard and Anita Hsu's cultural upbringing. The concept originated as a food truck and operated a counter at the Municipal Market (historic Sweet Auburn Curb Market) before taking over the brick-and-mortar previously housing Pura Vida in 2014. Sweet Auburn BBQ has locations in Atlanta (Poncey-Highland) and McDonough. Make sure to park in the parking deck across from the restaurant to receive validated parking; otherwise, you will have to pay a grip to park. Sweet Auburn's Smoked Wings are a popular delivery item in my household. But my husband and I finally made an in-person visit for the February 2024 Indo-Chinese Dinner, a collaboration with popular pop-up Dhaba BBQ, The Chai Box, and highly heralded new Doraville soju tasting room Minhwa Spirits. We ordered: From the Specialty Menu: Curry Brisket Bao, Brisket Rendang From the Regular Menu: Pimento Cheese Wontons, Two Item Combo Plate (pulled chicken, smoked wings, Thai Chile Brussels Sprouts, mac and cheese), Jade Claw We did not have a bad bite! The pulled chicken was surprisingly moist and flavorful, the brisket tender, and the Brussels sprouts were spectacular. An added benefit was that the Brisket Rendang was so flavorful as a leftover. Needless to say, we will be back (word on the street is that the Banana Pudding is a must-eat), and Sweet Auburn BBQ has crept onto my ATL BBQ favorite list. read more

This was my favorite brunch of the year! It is a must try. Sweet Auburn BBQ now has Sunday brunch, and I got to indulge in it a few months ago! Like their divine skillet has that is my new favorite brunch dish in Atlanta! It's a cozy barbecue joint and bar. Here's why we love this brunch: The Skillet Hash and Pimento Cheese Johnny Cakes! The skillet hash, imagine sharp cheese on top and a myriad of goodies inside like biscuits, sausage, peppers, onions, sausage gravy, the works, then topped with two poached eggs. You never know what flavors you'll get on each bite! On the other hand, the Pimento Cheese Johnny cakes are delicious! Perfectly smoky pulled pork, rich and decadent pimento cheese, savory poached egg, onions, tomatoes on top of sweet and sassy corn pancakes! Also enjoyed Southern Gentleman Biscuit is flaky and buttery biscuit topped with savory eggs, smoked link sausage, creamy cheese! The Cinnamon roll French toast is sweet and cinnamon forward, fluffy and thick toast with creamy cream cheese cinnamon roll ricing and doused in maple syrup. To drink get the Don't Burn Down the house is a smoked old fashioned, a mix between sweet, tart, and smoky. Plus you can't go to Sweet Auburn and not get the wings. Wu tang bbq smoked wings are smoky and tender, meaty chicken wings with a spicy, sweet bbq sauce. Had the best server, who was the bartender too. Knew everything about the menu and so attentive. read more

Like an idiot, I avoided this place for a while because the Asian-inspired BBQ didn't appeal to me as I'm a deep-south BBQ fan. I'm so glad I finally gave it a try (and have been back over and over again) because this place is crazy good!!! I highly recommend this spot and everything on the menu is amazing so be sure to try it a few times to get a feel for the menu. My personal favorite is the beef brisket plate with wok-fired green beans and cheese grits. And whatever else you do, BE SURE TO UPGRADE from the biscuit to the cornbread because it's the best damn cornbread I've ever had! I've heard good things about their desserts but I've always been too full to try anything sweet. I've always had great service here, friendly staff that's very knowledgeable about the menu and the neighborhood. The place also has a cool, laidback vibe both indoors and on their small but pretty patio. If you're one of the few Atlantans that hasn't tried this place, or just visited our city you've got to give Sweet Auburn BBQ a try!!! read more
