This was a solid place to get your bbq meats and wings fix. The space itself was so homey and cozy. It felt like a family owned business and the southern hospitality was felt everywhere. We had just left the airport on our way to Rome and wanted to get a good meal in before 9pm. Wallace Barbecue was on our route, so we decided to stop by. We ordered a mix of bbq combo dishes, the chicken wings, chili and drinks. The combo was hefty and everything tasted good. The service was great, drink were constantly refilled and they checked in on us a few times. Overall, it was such a lovely experience and a great start to our weekend trip. read more

Still give this place five stars the restaurant is always clean no matter how busy they are. The service is always top-notch. They have some of the best waitresses around and their Bar-B-Que speaks for itself. I'd say one of the best in Georgia. But if you're not in the mood for barbecue, they have an amazing chili, slow dog and chili burger and some of the best onion rings. highly recommend. read more

Wallace Barbecue - Barbeque Near Me - Austell, Georgia

Visiting family and stopped in for lunch. Believe it's a family business and it's been around awhile. Inside is your typical country flare. Staff helpful with menu. Had fried green beans as a starter (highlight of the meal). Good portion and pretty good. Ordered a pork sandwich with fries and baked beans. Son had a beef (tenderloin) sandwich with fries and onion rings. Pork sandwich was excellent. Beef was good (-.5). Fries were ok (-.25) Beans good. Onion rings were a let down (-1). Overall it was good. Score 3.25 so round down to 3. I might try again but there are a lot of bbq places around. read more

I don't know where the rest of these people that rated this place are eating, but it's not the same place because Wallace barbecue is fantastic! We went in first time. Everybody was very friendly. Very patient very helpful. The seasoning on the wings was amazing. The cook was excited to hear that my son likes spicy wings And special made some super spicy wings that he loves so much! My other son really appreciated the lemon pepper flavor. My husband said it's the best lemon pepper flavor that they ever had. The barbecue sauce is wonderful! Good value, spacious seating inside, classic country kitchen. Thank you all so much for giving us a wonderful dinner! (We went back shortly after this post for seconds!) 60 wings & two chicken dinner plates with two sides priced well!!! I was too slow to take a photo so here are two partially eaten chicken wing choices *Edit: what on earth are yall talking about with the onion rings? Fresh home made Vidalia onion rings - yes we had them! They were delicious! read more

I love Wallaces! It has been a family favorite for over 20 years! The staff is so great, the food comes out so fast and they give you so much food. You will have to wait if you go at a busy time, but its always worth the wait. Wallaces is a family-owned restaurant so the food hasn't changed since I started going as a kid, which is nice that their quality hasn't changed like some places. It is hands down my favorite place. And definitely try their ranch and blue cheese, it won't disappoint. read more

Military service overseas trying to request sauce for Fourth of July abroad. Was put on hold and not taken seriously Grew up in the area, having this every weekend. Wanted to at least ask for sauces or something to remind myself of home. Thank you for being so shitty read more

All I can say is as a barbecue connoisseur this was the worse. I ordered a rib plate. I started to get a rack, but I wanted to check it out first. I should have been nervous when I saw that the ribs were torn apart as opposed to cut. Once I tasted the ribs, I was disgusted and the coleslaw was sour. If they were trying to run people away, they did a wonderful job! I will never be back nor will I refer them. read more

I ordered bbq chicken on july 4th& the representative stated that it was a half chicken and I only had a few pieces..they were extremely small & not worth the price @ all read more

Two days in a row coming here and definitely looking forward to come back soon. The food is amazing and the place is very cozy, servers are friendly and it's really nice to see the owners here. We were just too hungry to take pictures of the food but make sure you try the ribs plate! read more

Food, service and vibe is amazing! It is a family owned business that has always been a popular meeting place to enjoy a delicious BBQ meal. read more

The staff is always welcoming. I've never gotten bad food here. I love their slaw and hot wings. Oh, and I failed to mention they have the best fries anywhere. Barbecue is delicious. Try their hamburger steak with onions. It is so good. Oh, and the onion rings are amazing. Their ice tea is refreshing. I can't think of anything bad to say. read more

Wings were so good we had to go back for seconds! Amazing flavor! A great blend of flavors, spice, and heat! Excellent service! Fast take-out service! We can't wait to go back! read more

The wings are amazing! Everything our party had was outstanding. Definitely will be back.

This is the worst barbecue I have ever had. Come to Louisiana and we will show you some good barbecue.... The chicken was so small and cut up. And sooooo dry! And the ribs were awful... the only good thing about it was the French fries. read more

Wallace Barbecue - this is supposed to be sliced beef - Barbeque Near Me - Austell, Georgia

Another Neighborhood Favorite! We get the Super Salads +grill chicken, chili cheese fries, baked potatoes (reg or sweet potato) and slaw dogs. Quick and friendly service. read more

What's good about Wallace BBQ: cute ambience, love the warm interior with red leather booths and Americana decorations. Gives a homey, welcoming vibe. And the service is friendly enough to match. What's bad about Wallace BBQ: the food... almost all of it. Ordered the beef plate and the chicken plate and a bunch of sides. The BBQ sauce is watery vinegar. The fries are soggy. The buns were straight out of a plastic bag. No brisket, no Mac 'n' cheese. Bland coleslaw. The BBQ beef was like a stew, not like actual smoked meat (and meat quality is low). The BBQ chicken seemed like it was baked in an oven, not smoked. The only saving grace was pretty good chili. But I wouldn't recommend anything else. read more

I currently live in Dallas TX but I was driving through Atlanta on my way to Charleston SC a couple of weeks ago. I worked in Austell about 20 years ago and Wallace was a regular lunch stop for me. I decided to stop by and see if it was as good as I remember and the answer is a definite yes! When I got there at about 8 there was about a half hour wait. I got this far so I waited. I got the pork and stew combo. It had been 20 years since I've had Brunswick Stew! It was awesome. Combine that with sweet tea and it's heaven. Thanks Wallace, for the memories and great food. read more

Wallace Barbecue - Pork Plate / Stew - Barbeque Near Me - Austell, Georgia

I ordered the rib plate with fries and side salad. The homemade blue cheese dressing is AMAZING! The hand cut fries are always AWESOME! Hands down my favorite ribs. Served by Ally who is the BOMB! read more

Service was good but not so much of the food. Both my husband and I ordered the sliced pork. He had baked beans and I got fries. The pork tasted like it was boiled with no flavor. Also, the meat was extremely hard to chew because of the way it was cut. My fries were good but his baked beans tasted mushy like they were a day old. We don't think we will return. read more

Haven't been here in over 20 years. It's great to see that it's still the same. The food is like I remembered. Barbecue is as good as anything you'll find in Georgia. Some things never change! read more

Wallace Barbecue - Pork and stew plate. - Barbeque Near Me - Austell, Georgia

Prices are great!! Every person who spoke to staff explained the sauce is native to this BBQ Joint and gets higher ratings from most customers and it's surrounding area. Plenty of kick if wanted!! Brunswick Stew and Chili were faves, I didn't try it or weren't aware of the BBQ Sauce History. Some of the bad reviews seem biased, imo, while others may be due to Covid Days, can't really say. And others I'm sure just don't prefer their type of BBQ. We are have different tastes. Growing up in the North, I like a sweeter sauce, but one taste of the vinegar/worcestershire sauce base and different seasonings and spices is truly a tasty sensation any good Atlanta Suburbanite knows "as the real deal", "Grandma's or Grandpa's Secret Sauce" etc...but certainly a true Georgia Style BBQ Flavor!! It's not for everybody, but it's for a lot of people. read more

The service was good. I did takeout but it was still a nice waiting area. Good food and staff.

Best bbq in town!! Food is excellent, service is just as good!! Super friendly people. We drive from Douglasville to eat here. Have been going here since I was a kid. Home of the best onion rings! Bbq has a great taste. I just wish they would get some grilled Texas toast to have with my super salad. read more

I vaguely remember coming here years and years ago and was not to fond of wanting to patronize this restaurant. Well, Saturday, September 14 I was in a bit of a moody funk and wanted some homemade onion rings. Mind you, Martin's is usually my go to spot for fresh vidalia onion rings. So I did a Yelp search for "best onion rings" for my location. Wallace pops up. Huh? Really? So after I left Martin's I drove over to Wallace. ONION RINGS. I enter the take out area the lady that helped me was great. She said the onion rings were her favorite. The. She suggested the pit wings. Well I trusted her and ordered both. She even recommended the blue cheese-- which she said was homemade. The wait wasn't long. But goodness o started eating the onion rings before I left the counter. They were piping hot. The only downfall ...they were slightly burnt. I ate those babies anywa! I next time I'll just have to request they dont burn them ... Oh, they didn't skimp on the amount of rings. 10 wings and onions rings were $10. The pit wings were good too. A little small in size, but they were flavorful, even after they got cold. I ate most of them later in the evening. I guess I'll be returning one day for onion rings and pit wings. Oh yeah, that blue cheese dressing was great too and I dont care for blue cheese. read more

NEVER AGAIN....the 1st time was the last time and normally I will give a restaurant two chances but not this one! My husband stopped in to pick up dinner. The sign said smoked BBQ. Immediately he noticed there was no brisket or mac'n cheese on the menu. This should have been our first warning to not waste our money. How do you have "smoked bbq" and no brisket? He ordered 2 rib plates and when I tell you these were the absolute worst ribs I had ever tasted. At first I actually thought they were fried because there were so many crunchy pieces. Then, I realized they were just really dry. Then we noticed the top/middle portion of each rib bone was missing as if it got stuck on something and they just tore it off. We lined the ribs up on the plate and you could see the missing meat in the center of each one. Nope....won't be back! read more

The best bbq in the south. Been coming here for a long time. Wallace BBQ is the best. Thank you for a great experience. I'll be glad when the hours get better. Drove to Wallace's on Tuesday they were closed !!! read more

Wallace BBQ not only has the best BBQ pork, beef, ribs, the best steaks, Hamburger steaks, onion rings, fries, salads, and so on and on. We have been going to Wallaces for over 37 years. They used to be in a small house and they built the new place years ago. Food never changed, it's still as good as ever! The owners and servers are like family. I can't say enough good things about Wallace BBQ and the people who work there. If something is not up to your expectations, they make it right. No arguments they fix it. It's always clean and I love the decorations, especially at Christmas time. We are lifetime Wallace BBQ fans! The sauce is vinegar-based and if you don't care for vinegar-based sauce, there are plenty of other options for you. I don't know why this review is saying I'm in Portland Oregon. LOL read more

I love going to Wallace for BBQ. My favorite is the pork thrift plate with fries (the best in the world) and sandwich and very wet slaw. Or the BBQ pork salad (with fries, best in world), or the Brunswick stew. Their stew is not as good as mine but pretty darn good. I am not a fan of the ribs but my husband likes them. He also like the beef and I haven't really found good beef anywhere. read more

I had high hopes for this place. FOR THE MONEY, it's ok. Excellent Service, low wait time, sweet tea was solid enough. Place looks good. Unfortunately the Food wasent. Came out super fast, which with bbq it can be fast due to the volume of people. . But honestly one of the worst ribs and pulled pork I've had. It wasent that it tasted "bad" It just literally had no flavor. No Smokey flavor, no bark on the ribs, honestly it was like cafeteria ribs.. The sauce was just basically vinegar, and no flavor other than thatthere either. I hate to give low scores but... If you want REAL BBQ, not here. read more

Ribs are really good! Prices are fair. Service was good. My family will definitely be back.

This place is always busy. If you arrive early for lunch, you'll probably still have to wait a few minutes for a table. Waiting is a good sign of good food. They don't disappoint. The food has been very good. I've tried a few items and not been disappointed, but with one exception. They cannot cook French fries. They are always soggy. The people are friendly and the place is clean. If you like BBQ it's worth a stop. read more

Very nice workers, but food is horrible, worst BBQ sauce I've ever had. Pink lemonade should have been a warning and sub-par sweet was definitely and indication of what was to come. read more

Staple lunch spot when I lived and worked in the area. I moved out of state about a decade ago and have stopped by every time I'm in town to get a sandwich and a couple bottle of hot sauce to get me through until the next time. I have had several compliments on the hot sauce when I serve it to friends and family. Keep at it guys! You do great work! read more

Best BBQ around has been this way for 30 years BBQ and sides all great ! Pies are too read more

Haven't been here in years. It is every bit as delicious as I remember! I got the pork super salad with blue cheese dressing. They make the dressing themselves and it is fabulous! DH got the pork plate with fries and onion rings. Fries are hand-cut, not some frozen "mystery" potatoes. Service was quick and food is reasonably priced. Next time I'm traveling, I'll be here again! read more

My first time trying the food and we're very disappointed. The food didn't have no barbecue taste at all, it taste like it was boiled in a pot. No flavor, just bland.... The take out service was bad the lady wasn't friendly at all.....I will never go back to that place again. if you want some good barbecue don't go to Wallace read more

Went here for dinner on Thursday. I got there around 4:30 pm and was immediately taken to my seat. If you are coming here on Friday or the weekend, you should come earlier than six. This place is extremely popular with locals, and you could find yourself waiting for over an hour for a table if you come later in the day. As far as service, our waiter was excellent and promptly asked us for our drink orders. We were also greeted immediately by a host when we entered the restaurant. Our server was extremely friendly and took good care of us throughout our stay. Our food was also promptly delivered, which was an excellent bonus. The food quality was also excellent. I had the two-piece grilled chicken dinner plate with fries and a house salad. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the fries were delicious, as always. The salad was also good and contained fresh ingredients. There is nothing worse than a salad where the restaurant is clearly using old ingredients and trying to get rid of their current supply. The beef super salad was also excellent. The beef was perfectly cooked, and the salad was well-presented. When it was delivered, it looked appetizing and extremely colorful. All in all, I would give this restaurant five stars. The service was excellent and the food was top notch. If you are in the area, and looking for good barbecue in a homey-style restaurant, I would highly recommend that you check this place out. read more

Came here due to the reviews but I don't get it. The place had a great decor, everyone was nice, so don't let this review be a reflection of the service or hospitality, but strictly the food. It's so bland, everything tastes like it was made in a slow cooker and just has junk sauce on it. No smoke ring on anything, I don't think they actually smoke anything. Was pretty disappointed. read more
