Stopped by Twin Smokers BBQ and ordered the beef brisket sandwich with a side of mac and cheese, along with a Moscow Mule. The brisket was so good that I ended up ordering an extra pound to take home for later that should tell you how much I enjoyed it! The mac and cheese was okay, but the brisket was definitely the star of the meal. I also have to give a shoutout to my server, Keia. She made one of the best Moscow Mules I've had in a long time and provided great service throughout my visit. I'll definitely be back for another brisket! read more

Jenair was our server. Very friendly and helpful since it was our first time here. The manager even gave us a tour of the two smokers in the back. She said there's an employee who works the night shift who is responsible for keeping them running and hot, feeding the fire. The smokers are Elizabeth and Mathew haha. Food was delicious, mainly pork and beef. Heavy and delicious. Clean environment, they were playing the World Cup soccer games on the tv so it was loud and fun, read more

Twin Smokers Bbq - Blue Sky Combo Plate (2 meats, 2 sides) - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is BAD barbecue. Like bad, bad. Anyone who says otherwise has never had real BBQ. Even Famous Dave's is better than this place and that's a reallllly low bar. The best thing we had was the free pork rinds and the sweet tea. Everything else was just about inedible. Brisket was dry and chewy like shoe leather. Brisket chili was flavorless. Pulled pork was OK, but you can get just as good from a microwaved version from the grocery store. Maybe it is because this is a touristy area, but wow is this a hard pass for anyone who likes BBQ and doesn't want to eat bad food. They get 1 star back because our server was incredibly friendly. read more

After a visit the Georgia Aquarium, I wanted to grab lunch, and this seemed to be a highly reviewed spot based on Yelp and Google. It wasn't too far away, so I thought I would give it a try. There was a World Cup game at the stadium at the time, so I thought it could get busy, but it was actually on the quiet side. I was given a seat right away. It looks like a rustic BBQ place. It took awhile for the server to come by. Probably over 15 minutes. I don't totally blame her because the customer she was with was talking non-stop. One of the other servers noticed and took my order because they saw what happened. But once my main server was freed up, she was friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly too. What I tried: - Complimentary Pork Rinds: Good. The smaller pieces were the perfect texture, but some of the larger pieces were very touch. - Beef Brisket: Excellent. Just way good BBQ should be. Super tender and juicy, with no real need for sauce because all the flavour is already there. - Ribs: OK. They were tender, but not very meaty. They seemed like ribs I could get any restaurant. - Collard Greens: Very good. My server recommended this one. I haven't had a lot of collard greens before, and when I have, it's always been forgettable. But not this one. The liquid had noticeably more vinegar, which made it so much better. - Brisket Chili: Good. It was a straightforward, but good chili. The jalapenos have it a little bit of extra flavour. Overall, a good BBQ I enjoyed. If I were in the area again, I would not hesitate to return to have more of the brisket and collard greens. read more

Service was fast and friendly. I was suited and had my food in under 10 minutes. The ribs had a great smokey flavor without being overwhelming. The brisket can great flavor use so tender that it fell apart. Had to finish cornware and casserole. I will definitely come back here before I leave town! read more

Looking for BBQ lunch within walking distance of the aquarium? This is likely the closest place. Great beers, BBQ that does the trick for a quick fix. Food: 4/5 pork rinds come with the table and were better than the gas station bags I've had. I would recommend getting the southern style brisket and the pulled pork butt. Ribs were good but a little on the drier side, and I've had better sausage elsewhere but they weren't bad. The loaded baked potato with brisket was pretty good, but the shredded cheese is not melted, and I personally prefer a slightly mushier baked potato. Seasonal sides were broccoli salad and sweet potato casserole which were delicious, but the normal sides of coleslaw and mac n cheese were more 3/5. Mac n cheese tasted like Velveeta, not baked. Coleslaw was a little watery and on the plain side. Banana pudding on the other hand - amazing. Small serving cup for $5 but worth trying! Drinks: Monday Night Brewery sour was a perfect balance of berry and lemon. Creature Comforts Tropical IPA was pretty good as well. Service: 5/5 loved our server! She was personable and answered all our questions. Staff appeared to be in good spirits as well which is always pleasant. Ambiance: popular music from 2010s was playing at a good volume, barstools in the middle of the restaurant surrounding the bar, seating was mostly booths otherwise. read more

Best food we had in Georgia!! Really tasty BBQ. We had the brisket, a pulled pork sandwich and the BBQ smoked chicken wings. Glad we tried all three, 10/10 all around. We ordered takeout from the bar and waited about 20 minutes. Generous BBQ sauce with each entree and the ranch with the wings was soooo good. Husband loved the brisket.

Pleasantly surprised with this place! I was randomly looking on yelp and found this little gem! I walked in and was greeted by this nice lady at the front door and the super sweet guy at the bar who helped me decide what to get. He suggested I try the two meat plate which I did brisket and ribs and for the sides I got chili and potato salad. To my surprise the meat was seasoned very well. They definitely gained a new customer today. I ate the food so fast I didn't take any pictures but the next time I go, I'll make sure to upload some pictures for sure! read more

I was in Atlanta on a layover and I had to get some lunch. I was craving BBQ and I heard about this spot. I got burnt ends with a side of coleslaw. The burnt ends were delicious, some bites melted in your mouth more than others. They have their regular sauce, vinegar based sauce, and spicy sauce. 100% go for the spicy sauce with your BBQ here. It's not that spicy and adds a slight kick without being too overpowering. read more

We were sat right away, our waitress was nice! She refilled our drinks without even asking! We started with the corn bread, it was ok, a little too moist. The brisket baked potato was the perfect size. It is an appetizer but was a full meal for me. The mac and cheese was alright, not the best. My husband said the potato salad was the best potato salad he's had! The sweet tea was tasty! The sweeter bbq sauce was really good! Only downside was the mac and cheese, corn bread and paying for parking. read more

The food was better than expected, but be prepared to leave smelling like smoke. We were seated fairly quickly, and soon after ordered drinks and were told which meats were sold out - my favorite, pulled pork was one of them. I ordered the chicken sandwich with mac and cheese and added on the collard greens. THE best collard greens I've ever had! I completely forgot about the sandwich entirely and devoured the collards. The macaroni and cheese were good. It wasn't as thick or cheesy as what I'm used to, but it was a decent macaroni and cheese. The chicken on the chicken sandwich was unbelievable. It was juicy, smooth and tender, and not reminiscent of chicken at all. I have to know the secret to cooking it that perfectly. This is an ideal casual eatery with quick and knowledgeable service and amazing BBQ. They were able to accommodate our big party on the fly. I recommend getting here before 4pm when some of the items may go out of stock. read more

So far not impressed. Service is slow and the server we had wasn't knowledgeable about the menu. We had to ask and follow up and ask again. I hope the food makes up for it. Well.. just got my food, my chicken is missing . Guess I will have to wait for that too! So never got the chicken BUT the Mac was good and so were the ribs but after 20 mins of not having my full order I just asked for a few more ribs. So yeah service is a struggle but the waitress seemed young and inexperienced but nice. She discounted our bill so I appreciate that. read more

We arrived a little after 5 pm in Sunday and didn't realize they close at 6 until we sat at the bar. Bartender was super friendly and gracious making sure we did not feel rushed at all. They were out of burnt ends and sausage when we arrived but considering they were closing in less then an hour that makes sense. We ordered the brisket and mac and cheese and it was delicious. Brisket melted in your mouth and they have 5-6 different bbq sauces to pick from. Thier SC sauce was as it should be with that smokey mustard flavor but my peeosn favorite was the Texas one that had a little kick to it! This is a laid back causal bbq place full of delicious food and suggestive humor ( pull my pork, rub my butt and nice rack lol) Small restaurant with lots of seating. If you are in Atlanta and looking for some BBQ stop in here! read more

Most backyard bbq runs circles around this food. How is BBQ even a part of your business name and the waiter starts with "we have no burnt ends, brisket or beef ribs? That was the red flag we missed. Pork ribs were dry, tough and tasted like all the wrong smoke. Greens were edible but too much vinegar. Cornbread was just mushy. Worst of all, the mac& cheese had no flavor, looked like noodles with cloudy water because it was so runny. The three year old with us made a face of disgust when they tasted it. While our waiter was personable, we observed many of the staff practicing tik tok dances in a corner which hold not have bothered me at all had the food been good at all. Sorry to say, the food is just not good. This spot could definitely use a menu, chef and management reboot. read more

Twin Smokers Bbq - What they call Mac 'n Cheese - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Edit: okay after thinking and visiting other BBQ places I have complaint. This restaurant does not serve pulled pork and side. They serve all other meat with a side except pulled pork. They then charged me $6 dollars for very bland potato salad which was not worth it in my opinion. You look at the cup size and tell me if it's worth $6. So just keep that in mind when you go. The restaurant was very clean and nice. The staff was very sweet. They were out of both Mac and cheese and brisket chili. That was very unfortunate for my husband bc he wanted both. Instead we got potato salad. It's way very bland. The meat tasted great and I loved the bbq sauces. read more

Twin Smokers Bbq - Blue Sky Combo Plate (2 meats, 2 sides) And just Pulled Heritage Pork Butt - 1/2 lb. - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

While back in Atlanta (and on a low carb/high protein diet), I decided to visit Twin Smokers once again. As with lat time I visited pretty early, just before 5:30 and had no problem getting at table (albeit some of their tables are directly under massive AC ducks, so you might want to bring a sweater). The brisket was very good, as was the chicken although I am not sure why this time the chicken was sliced while last time it was a quarter piece in tact. Perhaps I didn't order it property. Service was warm and friendly, as well as quick allowing me to get in and out in about 30 minutes. read more

First off let me preface with the fact that my husband and I were looking forward to a fiber-forward, healthy lunch but our group last minute decided to try this place. We were not in any way excited for a meat heavy meal, but boy, oh, boy am I glad the group lead us here. Complimentary pork rinds! That was fun. We ended up tasting all the sauces on them. What we got: Dinosaur beef rib - This was so much better than I could have imagined it being. It was tender and super smoky in the best way. It still had some bite to it, so if you're a fall-off-the-bone kind of person this isn't that, but you won't have to pry it off the bone. It's the best beef rib I've had. And it was enormous, just massive. We shared between 2 adults and 1 child (child #2 got her own dish). This could easily be shared between 3 adults. Collards - Yum! It was slightly bright and tangy, not too salty. Just full of flavor. This felt nice especially alongside a big ol' slab of meat. Baked potato with pork - Kid-approved as "the best baked potato ever!" The pork was so good too. Juicy and tender and not too porky. Everything we got was 10/10. The staff were super attentive and friendly. Very helpful--especially with as big a group as we had. There's ample seating and it's right across from the aquarium. read more

They open at 11am, and we arrived at around 11:20am to be told it would be about another 15 minutes. We waited outside and were let in after about 15 to 20 minutes, 45 past when they were supposed to open. We were the only patrons in the restaurant except for one person sitting at the bar. Our waiter spent the entire time chatting with others in the back and didn't come to refill our glasses until it was time for our check. When we ordered, they told us they didn't have turkey available that day, and they weren't sure that some of the other menu items like chicken or burnt ends would be ready for our order. Here's a breakdown of the food: Chicharrones: the seasoning was delicious, but the texture was intermittent, as some pieces were hard and rubbery and others light and crispy. Pinto cheese appetizer: served with saltine crackers and celery, the pimento cheese was just okay but not very flavorful and definitely not worth the $8 Brisket: only okay, somewhat dry, but made better by the barbecue sauce where you have your choice between sweet or spicy Chicken: very salty, oddly enough Beef rib: best item of the order, flavorful and juicy Charro beans: great flavor and a little bit of kick Collard greens: these were pretty good, but had a little bit less tang than others I've had Mac and cheese: again, only okay and went mostly uneaten read more

Twin Smokers Bbq - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Came here on a Friday afternoon but left disappointed. We were greeted by the host who said we didn't need to put our name down because she was going to call us in about 10-15 minutes. While waiting, another couple came in and a different host seated them even when we came first. When I confronted him, he apologized and said he was unaware that we were waiting for a table. Mistakes happen, I get it, but I feel like he could've asked if we have been helped. What sucks was that we had to wait a few more minutes later. Every table got complementary fried pork skins and it was delicious. Reminded me of the fried pork skins I buy from the store. As for the entrée, we were hoping for some ribs, unfortunately, they ran out. Therefore, we just got two sets of brisket. The brisket was very, very dry. The cut was also very inconsistent. The variety of sauces on the tables did help though. The mac and cheese were also not the freshest. The collards were good and had a great amount of seasoning. Overall, I thought this place could've been better. With food running out around 4PM, the unorganized waitlist, dryness of the meat, and okay mac and cheese, left me disappointed. The service was also okay. Didn't really check up on us until after we needed the check. read more

Great location, large portions, and tasty food. This place is a short walk from the Coke museum, Aquarium, and Centennial Park. That's good if you're at those places because it's easy to get to. It's bad because it's just as convenient for everyone else. We go there at 3 PM on a Sunday afternoon and it was packed. The good news was it only took a few minutes for us to get seated. The bad news was they were out of Ribs and Burnt Ends, the two things we wanted to order. So, we settled on Pulled Pork and a Smoked Sausage. They really good and plenty for the two of us. My advice is to get there earlier than we did so you can have a better selection than we did. And, if you can't get there until later I'm sure you'll still be happy with your meal. read more

#39 of 52 (weeks of trying a new restaurant at least once a week) Staying in Altlanta and this was near the hotel. I ordered smoked chicken wings to start and then got the burnt end meal with Mac and cheese and collard greens. Chicken needed some kind of sauce and the BBQ sauces didn't cut it. Wish I'd had some ranch. Burnt ends were just ok but not like burnt ends I've had before. The best part of the meal were the sides. The collards were delicious and hads nice kick to them and the Mac and cheese was nice and creamy. It was sustenance but I wouldn't return here. read more

The pork skins were very crispy, and although fried, didn't feel overly greasy or oily. The favorite item we ordered was the Dinosaur Beef Ribs. They were perfectly tender, smoky, and meaty bones. The meat came off the bones clean but wasn't so tender the meat would just fall off into a pile of mush. I really liked the decor, particularly the lighting made out of bottles that gave a classy, rustic, southern feel. But also had a fun feel with the eclectic colorful framed artwork. The service was friendly. The staff took time to share about the twin smokers and their names. It was an enjoyable experience while on vacation with the family! read more

Twin Smokers BBQ has a very centralized location and is within walking distance from the Georgia Aquarium and World of Coca Cola. If you are a BBQ fan, this is a great place to stop in for a quick lunch. I decided to get their 2x2 platter with brisket and turkey. Overall, the food and service were great, but the Mac n cheese recipe needs to be worked on. It was severely lacking a cheese flavor, which is obviously crucial for Mac n cheese. read more

Dropped by on a Friday afternoon, and there were some people but not all the spaces were filled, but we were told to wait for about 10 minutes before we get called. Shortly after we sit down, a couple other parties walk in and get seated immediately; seems like we were forgotten. They apologized though and we did get seated shortly after. They gave us some pork skins for appetizers which were pretty good, crispy, but some bites are saltier than others. I wanted to have a brisket and a ribs, however at that time they had run out of the ribs, so we got double brisket instead. Brisket ended up a bit dry, I had to eat it with the barbeque sauces that were provided at the table. Mac and cheese was just standard, but the collards were really good, including the soup they came in. Overall not my best BBQ experience unfortunately. read more

I am sad. I was so excited to come back to Atlanta and have a chance to experience the foodgasm I had before. I guess in the world of restaurants, maintaining a level of excellence can be challenging when there are so many variables. The brisket was dry, and the fat was not rendured. The ribs were so tough that I could not actually bite through all of it. They accidentally gave me the cucumber salad, which was actually really good. The corn souffle was also yummy, although not as good as last time, and the same can be said for the potato salad. I will say the server was very nice, and service was more consistent this time than last. The bottles were also cleaner on the table. The sides, even though not as awesome as last time, are still tastier than many places. I hope the meat being a bit basic and sad was a fluke. We had to rush to the airport, so I didn't really have time to bring it up to them and see if they could make it right. read more

We stopped by after a full day at the nearby aquarium and didn't mind the wait for a table--there was a cozy little area with window views where we could relax. Even though they were clearly busy, our waitress was incredibly polite and charming. They brought pork rinds to the table while we waited, and it was the perfect start. We ended up sharing bites from each other's plates, and honestly, everything was good. The kids especially loved the chicken and ribs, and the potato salad was next-level. My husband tried a couple of their specialty beers and gave them two thumbs up. Bonus points: the bathrooms were clean and totally on-theme, which is always appreciated. Great food, great vibes, and great service. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

I love high-quality, slow-cooked BBQ and tend to be skeptical of BBQ outside of Memphis. Twin Smokers was one of the best meals I had while in Atlanta. When you step Inside you feel like you are stepping out of the city, into a backyard BBQ (in the best way possible). I was worried they would runout, but we went for an early dinner. The service was great and our server was helpful when it came to 5 separate checks for our party of 6. read more
