You can't go wrong at Daddy D'z whether you go with the beef, chicken, chopped pork plate, or 'cue wraps. It's all good. Delicious sides like mac and cheese, collards, fried okra or mushrooms, potato wedges, etc. Good BBQ that'll stick to your bones.
Plus, the owner is a fan of the Chicago Cubs and there's lots of Cubs memoribilia on the walls, which endear to me just about anyone.

Being that I'm from the West Coast, I am not a true, blue BBQ person, I'll enjoy a good BBQ meal once in a while. A lot of places are not do-overs but Daddy D'z seems to be worth returning to. If BBQ sauce doesn't naturally run in your veins, you can get od'd on the stuff. However, I never get overwhelmed with my meals here. The food is cooked right and taste good. I like their Brunswick stew. It's just right.
It's so funny when we found this place because we heard about it on the Food Network. As we pulled into the parking lot, we were beside ourselves at the sight before us.
This is an honest-to-goodness hole-in-the-wall joint. Admittedly, when we went, they had experienced a fire which made the joint look like a condemned shack.
I haven't been back for a while so I don't know if they've improved upon the exterior.
There is no outdoor seating, however, there is a covered porch with the screen that runs around to keep the bugs out. The inside is worn and dingy but allows you to sit and enjoy your meal.
Three and a half, really. Yelp, you gotta start allowing the half-star....
I've had my share of barbeque in my 40+ years on this planet. And Daddy D'z is competent barbecue, but not better. I don't think you can get truly sublime BBQ in the city... you really have to stumble over places like Big Bob Gibson's in Huntsville, AL to find the pearls amongst the swine... (ha! a pun! I kill me...)
Both the GF and I ordered the sampler platter, after a couple of ordering miscues - one really shouldn't expect sterling service at a BBQ joynt. The BBQ sampler was composed of two ribs, some chopped pork, some chopped beef (an automatic strike for a southern BBQ restaurant), and six "que wraps". I understand the need to broaden the presentation of the BBQ product, but "que wraps" are simply foul. A pork sliver wrapped in dough and deep fried, with a resulting taste of... stale fried dough. Please drop this from the menu...
The ribs were a little dry, but flavorful IMO. I'm not a fall-off-the-bone fanatic like most people, and so dry is no penalty as long as I have the requisite smoky goodness. The beef was ok for a perversion of BBQ law, and the chopped pork gets an amen, but not two. No draft beer gets a boo, but the extra-tall PBRs were an acceptable fallback. Kudos to the waitstaff for bringing the wetnaps unbidden.
Daddy D'z isn't the best BBQ in town, but it's the closest, and it satisfies.

BEST BBQ AND SWEET TEA IN ATLANTA
Great place to get a head-start on your drinking before a Braves game, and the food will definitely fill you up.
Tip: order an extra piece (or two) of cornbread. It's home-made, very moist and very sweet - a perfect complement to any type of BBQ order.
If you are turned off by the lack of cleanliness, you might as well leave before you order. Good old-fashioned southern BBQ was meant to be served in places like this.
And they often have live jazz music on the weekends - PWNAGE.

This is what a rib shack should be. Not fancy, not particularly bright, probably not very clean, and definitely unapologetic.
Don't get me wrong, the staff are extremely friendly and courteous. But the place looks like it is falling apart, and nobody cares... after all, this is a rib shack and not a rib manor.
Last Friday, we ordered a full slab (spicy) with fried okra, potatoes to go. The music was good, but we had a drive-in date at the Starlight-6. The ribs were down-right awesome. They were juicy, spicy, and just a little sweet. They weren't quite fall-off-the-bone, but were just perfect for our situation...don't need rib-bits spattered across the back seat of my car! Between the two of us we could only finish about half the ribs, through our double header of "the happening"(crappy), and "Strangers" (not so bad).
Friday and Saturday nights has free and live blues.
Their motto is "We Aint Pretty, But We're Good" ... I think this explains it all.

Best BBQ I've had in Atlanta. You NEED to check out my photos I posted of the place, and the FOOD!
Daddy D'z looks pretty ghetto fabulous on the outside. I love it! Daddy D'z is the sh!t! So dope.
It looks like a super ghetto shack built with thin plywood, then someone spray painted a mural of black musicians on the outside, in the same style as the paintings on the intro of the Good Times tv show. Then they have hand made metal pig welded together on the roof... with red eyes, it looks like he's stoned out of his mind... and right next to that, it says "the BBQ joynt!" HAHAHA! f*cking awesome. what's NOT to love about this place?! it has true Dirty South character and charm. I love it!!!!!
On the other side of the shack, if you don't notice the huge black steel pig, with "Daddy D'z Bar-B-Que Joynt" cut into it... then fasho you'll notice the humongous metal sign protruding from the building that says "Daddy D'z. We go both ways 4 u" haha! Genius! Add some Neon lights to the front of the building, and you're set. Daddy D'z is all right!
When you walk into the building, you need to watch your step, because it looks like there's road construction happening inside. The pavement is all cracked up, and missing chunks, so watch the ground to make sure you don't trip or sprain your ankle! However, it's so hard to watch the floor, because they have interesting signs on the wall, like "Have your woody serviced here" and whatnot.
I went here with a bunch of my friends, who are ATL natives. The waitress motioned to have us sit down at a table, gave us some low budget black n white laminated menus (It was funny - they actually had a ghetto photocopied scanned photo of the late owner on the menu. Classy! It also says, right ON THE MENU... "The owner is really cheap -- please don't forget to tip the waitstaff!" LOL), and then asked us what we wanted to order with her Caribbean accent.
I wanted to try a little bit of everything, so we all ordered different things:
BBQ Chicken: It was AWESOME. They seemed to fry it first, so the outside was super crispy, then they bbqed it and put alot of sauce on it. Damn, it was awesome! I'm all about it.
BBQ Pork Ribs: These were pretty good, but I'm more of a beef rib guy, so I was kind of like whatever about it...
Pulled Pork: Off the CHAIN son! Oh man. The pork was so soft and perfectly flavored... it just combines with the awesome bbq sauce and melts in your mouth. Hell yeah.
Brunswick Stew: It's good!!! But uhmm, what the hell is inside Brunswick stew? I had never previously heard of it, or tried it. My friends said it's a traditional ATL thing... it's like chili kind of, but much better. Aside from corn, I dunno what's in it, but I like it. And it's served with Daddy D'z sweet cornbread. Dope!
Mac n cheese: This is the Mac Daddy of Macaroni n Cheese. It's awesome, super cheesy and slightly spicy. I'm all about it.
Broccoli casserole: I've never had this dish before. But I LOVE it! Broccoli and cheese, and whatever the hell else is in there. It's effin awesome, I can't wait to have more of it! But it requires a plane trip back to Atlanta, damn it.
Greens: The greens were pretty good, but I'll be honest with you. Some people might hate on me for saying this, but the Turnip Greens at Cracker Barrel kills the greens at Daddy D'z. Seriously! Cracker Barrel straight up SMASHES the greens at Daddy D'z. With no mercy.
Fried Okra: Nice fried okra... awesome. Breaded and fried, and so fattening, if you eat too much, they'll be calling you Okra Winfrey. Not too dry like the ones at Cracker Barrel. Daddy D'z wins this round!
Beans: I didn't try em. I don't like beans. I just save em for the amigos here in Cali.
Onion rings: battered and fried, not bad! But nothing super special.
Sweet potatoes: Oh snap! That's my joint right there. Nice and sweet, super good!
Fried green tomatoes: These weren't good at all. So disappointed and sorry to say it... because I love the fried green tomatoes at Lucille's BBQ (a bbq chain in Cali), but these green tomatoes were too thin, too greasy, too soft and wobbly. Not feelin it. At all.
We all ordered sweet tea, which was good, but it was more of an ATL norm. Kinda standard.
EXCELLENT SERVICE from the Caribbean waitress, who was super cool to us! I made sure to tip her at least $14 or 15.
I can NOT wait to go back to Daddy D'z. I'm definitely hitting it up again next time I'm in the ATL!!!

I have to say that this is one of my favorite BBQ experiences ever. The first time was on a casual date and I pretty much stuffed my face with bbq chicken, fried zucchinis and okras. The date was impressed that I wasn't shy about eating! LOL.
I love their fried zucchinis!!!

I'm sure I won't have much to contribute that hasn't already been said, but this place is wicked good. ribs falling off the bone, chicken was moist, the cole slaw was amazing, the corn bread was corny (and dense as hell!) and even the sweet tea was excellent.
The owner(?) gave us a free brownie. I'm still not exactly sure why, but hey - who can't like someone who gives you a free brownie?

Yummm I guess this is the lunch spot for Fulton County PD.. so if the cops eat there you know its good!! The mac and cheese and slice of red velvet cake left something to be desired. But the ribs were tender and smoky and the thick BBQ sauce went along well with it. And the sweet potatoes and cornbread.. well I could make a meal off of just that! Yes, they aren't fancy.. you eat with plastic forks, have Styrofoam plates,and well the windows look like they haven't been washed in weeks.. but hey it adds to the charm! do yourself a favor and check this place out!

Daddy D'z was D-licious! While the location and "decor" might not attract you, anyone who knows barbecue knows that the best is made in places where they don't worry with the building - they let the food speak for itself.
The ribs were delicious - big and meaty. Some of mine were a little on the chewy side, but the flavor was amazing. The sauce is thick and on the sweet side. I was very impressed by the sides. While many bbq places have only cole slaw and potato salad, Daddy D'z has plenty of options - enough for plenty of different combinations for the veggie plate. My husband and I split the half slab of ribs and a veggie plate with fried zucchini, collard greens, broccoli casserole, and macaroni and cheese. The collard greens and fried zucchini were delicious. The broccoli casserole was good with more rice and cheese than broccoli. The macaroni and cheese was not the best - a little on the runny side. The cornbread was also on the sweet side and very dense.

This place looks much sketchier than it is - especially if you're not accustomed to the Grant Park/Memorial Drive corridor. But once you get inside, it has the feeling of a down home BBQ joint.
I enjoyed a hearty and well priced lunch here. Though everyone I was with scoffed at me for not getting the ribs, I don't prefer the style they serve. I have a mouth-watering plate of pulled pork instead. MMMM. With Mac and Cheese and Potato Salad, it's like they read my mind.
The service was friendly, though they do have some "house rules" posted regarding cell phones, etc... they prefer to act as if you're a guest in their home, which I think is very cool.
Big Thumbs up for Daddy D'z... from a real BBQ lover!

What a great accidental find. The area looks shady but I think it adds to the atmosphere of this place. On my first trip to Atlanta, I was on my way to the zoo with my girlfriend and got hungry. We got a little lost and stopped to ask for directions and just stumbled on this bbq shack. It was early in the day and we were the first customers so we chatted up the manager (or maybe he was the owner).....very nice gentleman. As we looked over the menu with great anticipation, he came out with a sample of the bbq rib for us to try.....very juicy and delicious. We ordered the sampler platter and split some ribs and a chopped pork sandwich. The ribs and sandwich was pretty good but I didn't like the Que wraps (BBQ pork wrapped in bite sized dough fried crisp and golden) all that much.
First day in ATL and found a good bbq joint. Since I went in the early afternoon, I can't comment on how it is at night with the live bands and whatnot. I will definitely come back again. Good food, decent prices.

A SWEET, BLOOD RED SPLATTER DOT the size of a pinhead gave it all away. Standing there, I tried my hardest to beat back the smile creeping across my face. I didn't stay home - I couldn't, not tonight - nothing drives me away from my laptop like an essay paper due the next morning.
When the jamaican waitress with a sugary sweet accent asked for my order on this particular sunday evening, 'the sampler plate' spilled from my mouth with giddy excitement. Daddy D'z BBQ joint located south of the MARTA tracks and just off the King/Memorial station is clearly not in the middle of a suburban planned community. A soccer mom and her son sit happily in the corner, pacing themselves through the meal and laughing in between bits of meat and spoonfuls of their top shelf sweet potato sides, clearly they know a good thing when they find it. No longer a secret, and to the point of being cliche, the food at Daddy D'z is good - sickeningly great in fact.
Barbecue shacks in the deep south are as abundant as Filiberto shacks in the south west. Heavy debates over which is better, over which is the best, over which sauce lathered on the most tender meat will cause you to curse the day you decided to become vegetarian and regret all the lost time that could have been spent devouring red covered animal parts. A grinning smile I once fought back, stretches across my face right now just thinking about the beef, the pork, and the sides.
The building creeks under the weight of the big Daddy D'z sign when you walk through the gravel parking lot towards the door barely hanging on its hinges. After your food arrives, you sit there with one plate full of meat and another plate completely empty, waiting for the bones beneath the hunks of smokey flesh to be uncovered and discarded.
Thinking back, some of my absolute best meals have been eaten from styrofoam plates, using plastic silverware - Daddy D'z is no different. Recently, on the rare night when my vegetarian girlfriend is out and I'm left to my own devices, I've been heading directly for the next barbecue spot, the next great place that everyone raves about, the spot that everyone says you must try - and then I remember how reviews tend to mathematically compare each spot as if it's an equation - a poor comparison of souls. While sitting there at my dingy, uneven table, surrounded by walls that have obviously soaked in their share of pork and beef fat molecules, I have no idea how anything anywhere else could possibly be better than this.
Daddy D'z is everything it wants to be and on that tired Sunday night the only diners in the restaurant were people seemingly not there for anything other than what they know - that this place delivers the goods and it doesn't matter who you are. Whether you're the hipster twenty-something woman with thick rimmed glasses in the corner, the father and his two sons trying to watch the football game on the big screen, or me - some guy desperately trying to avoid writing his paper that's due the next morning.
So when my girlfriend came home later that evening and asked me how the paper was coming along, before I could utter any sort of simple lie, she noticed the blood red splatter dot on my shirt and immediately knew how I had spent my evening. Daddy D'z is my new favorite barbecue joint and it was absolutely worth it.

I passed this place on the way to GSU for YEARS do you know what drew me in? The pig on the rooftop next to a sign that says "We Go Both Ways", I have NO clue what that means in the bbq world, but I know I had to find out. This place is in a shady area in basically what can be considered a shack, but I've come to realize most of my best meals have come from roadsides, makeshift tents and shacks....so I knew I was in for a treat. The goodness that was the BBQ ribs and mac & cheese, it was like a dream I didn't want to end. My frirend died and went to heaven when she saw those deep fried bbq pork bites wrapped in that fried dough. There was some guy in the corner singing the blues that night which added to shack ambiance and the service was great. Will definitely be going back.

This place sort of reminds me of the run-down shack in my friend's back yard that looks like it's about to fall over. Once you get inside, it's even worse.
But the food is great. The pulled pork sandwich is everything it should be. The waitress with almost no space left for more tattoos was a plus.

This is, hands-down, the best bbq in atlanta. their motto here is "we're not pretty, but we're good" and that's the gospel truth...it could only be better if they replaced "good" with "excellent."
daddy d'z is a place i was afraid of the first time some friends took me there. the building looks run down, the neighborhood seems sketchy, you'd guess that it was really dirty and run down--lay those first impressions aside, and you'll find the most flavorful, best barbeque you've ever had. the meat is tender and juicy, the sauce is sweet but not overpowering. and the neighborhood isn't as bad as it looks--you might want to avoid a few streets around (bell being one), but the graffiti and run-down buildings really make it look a lot worse than it is.
daddy d'z serves heaping mounds of bbq, they have so many wonderful sides to chose from (and the portions there arent' small either), but their cornbread is to die for, even if the batter is so thick the bottom isn't always cooked fully.
my only complaint (aside from the cornbread) is that the "hot" sauce doesn't taste at all spicy...but it's still delicious, and there's always hot sauce you can jazz it up with on the tables.
they also offer lunch specials for $7.99 on weekdays, including drink, making it a really affordable and delicious lunch stop!

YUM I love bbq and coming from the north, well you know we can't make good bbq up there!!! I'm so happy/sad about being down in the ATL and surrounded by all this delicious smoked meat goodness.
HAPPY:
1.) The pig is the most beautiful animal God ever made because some genius figured out how to smoke and smother it in tangy sauce.
2.) People are very serious about good bbq down here and though a lot of the sauces I've encountered are thick, they're not overly sweet ketchup sauce like many places in the midwest.
3.) With good bbq comes lots of wonderful sides like beans and rice, macaroni and cheese (personal favorite, it counts as a vegetable right?), fried zucchini, and broccoli casserole among other delectable delights.
4.) HELLO!? Fucking fatty meats cooked slow over smoky carcinogen goodness for hours!? Holy shit! Motherfucking bbq is awesome!
SAD:
1.) Jesus Christ I'm so fat. :(
2.) Jesus Christ is that DEEP FRIED bbq on top of all the other fatty stuff??? Oh God, I can't help myself I must shovel it in like the sad fatty I am. :(
3.) My pants no longer fit.
4.) I just lost 7 pounds, but I'm sure I gained them all back. :(
5.) There are a lot of annoying flies on the patio. :(
Seriously, though folks! Delicious fried zucchini, macaroni and cheese, and DEEP FRIED BARBEQUED PORK!!! That's all you need to know, right? I can't wait to try their chicken!

You might feel like you're going to get jumped in the parking lot, but its worth it. The neighborhood is entirely sketchy but I have been many times and made it out without a scratch. Daddy D'z hands down is some of the best BBQ I have ever tried. The menu is basic and no frills whatsoever, but they have perfected the heart and soul of BBQ cooking. The juiciest, meatiest ribs and pulled pork that smacks of vinegar and smoke. I can't say that they have a house keeping staff, but the cooks and servers make you feel like they invited you over for a backyard cookout. Zero pretention, no nonsese good food.

You can not beat Daddy D'z. If you are a BBQ lover, and not the kind that just likes to go into a cookie cutter defrosted pulled pork restaurant, and aren't afraid to mingle with the real folks, then this is where you need to go. Daddy D's is definitely not the prettiest venue. It's basically a tiny shack with a covered porch. The A/C struggles to even keep up with the small amount of space they do have.
That said, their food is unstoppable. Their BBQ is real southern style, flavorful and juicy and just as it should be. Their Mac and Cheese is some of the best I've ever had, definitely not the ice cream scoop of glorified Kraft that most places dish out. The greens are also fantastic, and the cornbread is worth a finger in the eye. All of this for very reasonable prices, and true ghetto autheticity. They've been named best BBQ by just about every major publication I can think of sometime or another.
I've never left this place not stuffed out of my mind and happy as hell about it. The waitresses call you 'baby' and 'darlin'. You will smile at least twice.
It's located right between MLK and Memorial, definitely not the top pick of neighborhoods you want to cruise, but where else are you going to get real BBQ done right? Answer: nowhere.

Best BBQ in Atlanta. Worst sides. Totally unsafe area near Grant Park, but thank God the cops eat here a lot. Service can be a little sketchy if you dont get the sweet Jamaican lady.
The place is filthy but the beer is cold and the BBQ delish. Way gay friendly and totally recommended.
Heard about it, read about and made the choice to go for the seedy drive for some good BBQ.
It was worth it 100%, good service, dirty decor, live music.
My ribs were darn good and smothered with sauce. The corn bread was good and simple, the slaw was heavy on the mayo (but I'm a California guy so . . .) The deep fried mushrooms were simple and hot.
I washed it all down with a PBR tall boy.
Score!

Definitely seedy looking, but I wouldn't have it any other way. With its location on Memorial, it's really a destination, not some place you would stop on a whim and give a try. That being said, make a point of giving Daddy D'z a visit.
I think I actually like the sides at Daddy D'z better than the barbecue. That's not a knock on the quality of the "Q", just a testament to how good the sides are. The mac and cheese is a must have, and the cornbread is tasty and useful when you're trying to get the last bit of sauce off of your plate. I'd go with the pulled pork here over the ribs, although you'll be fine with either.

Recommended by a friend of ours who used to live in Atlanta. It's extremely dive-y and is in the middle of nowhere, but had a decent showing even for 3:00 in the afternoon.
I am not a BBQ expert by any means, but it had me licking my saucy fingers. The corn is not great, but all the other sides were amazing, and the chicken and ribs were delish. (The sweet tea is *very* sweet.)

This place is the 100% epitome of a 'BBQ joint.' Its cramped, time-worn space filled with so much personality and character, it's impressive the walls remain upright.
As soon as you walk into the small, brick building your nose immediately fills with the sweet, smoky aroma of Georgia BBQ. It's pretty amazing actually. The food, then, backs it all up.
Someone else wrote the sauce is finger-licking worthy... and that's no exaggeration. The folks I've been here with are known to even just scoop up leftover sauce on their fingers and create an impromptu dessert. If it's that good on a finger, you can imagine how good it is when actually served over smoked ribs, pulled pork, chicken or shredded beef. The BBQ itself is great, the sides though have become a bit pricey. Best bet might be to get a platter, which includes sides - such as slaw, corn, mac and cheese, etc.
All in all, just a fantastic, intoxicating down n' dirty BBQ joint.

I was involved with Eyedrum Art and Music Gallery for years and its right across the street from this bbq joint. I'd sit at board meetings with a styrofoam container of collards, mac n cheese and yams across my lap, happy as a clam, listening in once in a while. This BBQ place is true blue. They have blues on the patio and some real southern pit bbq cooking up in the kitchen. IT is a shack and an experience. Go for blues and for sides and for bbq and get on down southern style. They go all out. Its saucy and sweet and spicy and tangy and all other words you associate with BBQ pork and chicken and corn bread and collards and candied yams.
Amazing BBQ, the side leave you wanting something better.
