Fat Matt's Rib Shack

1811 Piedmont Ave NE
Atlanta, GA 30324

Bucky K. writes: I've never liked ribs. Ever. It's too much work with too little payoff. On top of that it's too messy. That was until I met the ghost of Fat Matt... duh duh DDUUUHHH!!!!. Gather around and I shall tell you the tale.

In the middle of a sunny day in…

Valentina V. writes: Graduation time is approaching and, of course, my family will be in town to join me in the what will be a "glorious" finale, after two intense years in art school.

So when the phrase "Dad is coming to town" buzzes in my ear, Fogo de Chao, the…

Daddy D'z

264 Memorial Dr SE
Atlanta, GA 30312

Mark T. writes: 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…

Rolling Bones Barbecue

Atlanta, GA 30312

Joel C. writes: ***To Tina Turners "Proud Mary"

Listen to the Story...

Today I worked in the city.
Marketing and sales every single day.

I was craving for Southern Bar-B-Que

Big pork keep on turning
Beef brisket keep on burning
And we're…

The Swallow At the Hollow

1072 Green St
Roswell, GA 30075

Molly D. writes: Yum, Fat Matt's still rules Atlanta but this Barbeque and atmosphere is worth the trip. I don't usually leave my small world in downtown but up in Roswell there is a roadhouse tucked away off the tiniest side street you've ever seen. Park the car…

Pig-N Chik

4920 Roswell Rd NE Ste B23
Atlanta, GA 30342

Lauren S. writes: Yummy!!!

I can always count on luring the 'rents into providing me a free meal if I promise to take the father to some barbeque place. I like BBQ so that's alright with me and tastes even better when you don't have to pay for it!

I had never been here…

Sam and Dave's BBQ

4944 Lower Roswell Road
Marietta, GA 30068

Kathleen M. writes: As this BBQ joint is a mere half-mile from my parent's house, we like it.... A LOT. The pulled pork is divine as well as the brisket and everyone who works there is really friendly. They're open really weird hours, so be sure to call in advance. I…

Maddy's

1479 Scott Blvd
Decatur, GA 30030

Deanna J. writes: In the land of Atlanta barbecue, Maddy's would be a bit like Jan from the Brady Bunch - it flies a bit under the radar in comparison to giants like Fat Matt's and Daddy Dz. But to those who know it, they like to keep the secret sauce close to the…

Shack on Main

2714 E Point St
East Point, GA 30344

Barry A. writes: This is by far my favorite BBQ place to eat in East Point. In fact this is my favorite BBQ place to eat period. There I said it. No lengthy review needed here.

THE BOTTOM LINE -- This is BBQ!

Daddy Dz BBQ Joint

264 Memorial Dr
Atlanta, GA 30312

Ivan S. writes: Daddy Dz, the daddy of all ribs and in a building where the term "rib shack" would be complimentary. Some are put off by the shack. Others find the shack a sign of good BBQ therein. The shack doesn't scare me and because it's a police hangout,…

Smokey Bones Bbq & Sports Bar

2475 George Busbee Pkwy NW
Kennesaw, GA 30144

Drew W. writes: I was pleasantly surprised when I tried Smokey Bones while meeting my sister in Kennesaw for dinner one night. I went in expecting something along the lines of Sonny's or other barbecue chains and left full and happy.

I tried the combo rib plate which…

Dusty's Barbecue

215 Laredo Dr
Decatur, GA 30030

Seve' M. writes: I'm one of the people talking about the Emory location. I can't understand why someone would write a bad review on something they never had before? The only bad review was written by somethat that only went there and had apple cobbler?!? Not saying…

Wild Wing Cafe

2145 Roswell Rd
Marietta, GA 30062

Gretchen O. writes: A friend and I met here around 10pm on a Friday night for an event posted on Yelp.
The event was not what we expected and we ended up getting a table and ordering a couple of drinks and wings. And I do mean a lot of wings.
I was boring and ordered my…

Dreamland Bar-B Que

10730 Alpharetta Hwy
Roswell, GA 30076

Kathleen M. writes: I'm a pulled pork kind of girl and Dreamland is my kind of place. It's a chain (I know, I know) from Alabama and its some good eats. It's nothing fancy: just good quality bbq, white bread, a couple of side options and some sweet tea. That's what…

Williamson Bros Bar-B Q

1425 Roswell Rd
Marietta, GA 30062

lee y. writes: Standard is about right. I took my family there when they came last week ,from Texas, to visit. Now these are down home southern folks who know their Q.

Buffalo's Cafe

2937 Cobb Pkwy
Atlanta, GA 30339

Rilindo F. writes: I had a good time with the wings. And their desert (chimi-cheesecake) is near-heavenly.

Both of the above were chosen based on the recommendation from the waitress. Go service!

Harold's Barbeque

171 McDonough Blvd
Atlanta, GA 30315

Blake B. writes: Harold's is a BBQ joint down by the Atlanta prison. That fact alone brings it to a certain level of authenticity that makes it two steps beyond its competitors. Add to the fact that this down home shack-style haunt just celebrated its 60th…

Chef Pete's BBQ

6325 Spalding Dr
Norcross, GA 30092

Shannon M. writes: This place is fantastic! I have had some BBQ down here in my 8 years of living down here and this place is hands down the best! Screw Fat Matt's (overrated) and high tail it to this place immediately. I had the pulled pork plate. $8.50 for tons of…

Stone Mountain, GA 30087

Texas Roadhouse Grill

1969 Dogwood Rd
Snellville, GA 30078

Liz B. writes: Going into wal-mart wanting to buy only 20 bucks worth of stuff and walking out with 100 bucks worth of stuff is a norm, well for this restaurant it is too! At Texas roadhouse you'll start off with bread and peanuts, these peanuts have shells- they…

Ming's Bar B Que

5150 Buford Hwy NE
# 300
Doraville, GA 30340

Addy C. writes: I would definitely come again to this "very hole in the wall" restaurant. This was my 2nd time and I did the boring conforming thing, ordering the sure thing (meaning, I listened to your feedback) -- the "chow fun with beef & vegetables" and a half…

The Rib Ranch

2063 Canton Rd
Marietta, GA 30066

Justin B. writes: Did anyone else feel like they were living out a scene from that movie Roundhouse when they pulled into the parking lot at Rib Ranch?

I did. Maybe it was the tacky neon red lights outside the building.

Apparently they serve Texas style BBQ,but the…

Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B-Q

6912 Douglas Blvd
Douglasville, GA 30135

Teresa D. writes: There are those that would argue this is not real barbecue but if you like smoked meat the sliced pork is worth the trip and the sides are always consistant. The slaw is good and so are the fries if fresh. The baked beans are hit and miss depending…

Roasters Rotisserie

6225 Roswell Rd NE
Atlanta, GA 30328

Drew W. writes: I tend to stick to the side items here, even though the rotisserie items are good. I just like the number of sides you can choose from and like to mix and match a plate. I'm a sucker for good mac and cheese, fried okra, cornbread....basically…

Waikikie Hawaiian BBQ

2160 Briarcliff Road
Atlanta, GA 30329

Kit F. writes: Two words: Spam Sushi.

Sushi is supposed to be quite healthy...but this Hawaiian version (musubi) is loaded with extremely high levels of saturated fat, sodium and cholesterol. Mmm Mm M! No wonder The Rock is so big...I'm just a Pebble b/c I ate the…

5th Street Ribs n Blues
Neighborhood: Midtown

86 5th St.
Atlanta, GA 30308

Jim & Nick's Bar-B-Q

4574 S Cobb Dr
Smyrna, GA 30080

Lauren S. writes: I'll admit I wasn't expecting a place that was so "chain". It looks like a Smokey Bones or a Longhorn (except without that idiotic stuffed squirrel).

But the smell was enough to make me give it a chance. My parents and I were in the mood to be…

Speedi-Pig Barbecue

715 Glynn St S
Fayetteville, GA 30214

Sherri R. writes: Awesome, succulent, fall-off-the-bone ribs. Aromatic smoked chicken wings. Great onion rings. While the decor is pure southern BBQ house, the food is superb. Just don't be caught dead sharing on an all-you-can-eat plate!!!

Spiced Right Barbecue

5364 Lawrenceville Hwy 29
Lilburn, GA 30047

David H. writes: If I had to recommend a place for barbecue in the greater Atlanta area, Spiced Right would be it. The core of southern barbecue is defined by pulled pork, and this place does it better than anywhere else.

The current owners of Spiced Right are…

Old Hickory House

2202 Northlake Pkwy
Tucker, GA 30084

Robbie H. writes: This location and the one in Dunwoody are the only location left of what was a chain of restaurants around town in the 70s and 80s. Other reviewers think it looks dirty and the decor is tired? Sure, but it's a BBQ restaurant. If you want a clean BBQ…

Sonny's Bbq

1804 E West Connector
Austell, GA 30106

Erin W. writes: The BBQ at Sonny's is decent. My job used to cater the coleslaw, pulled pork, ribs, salads and chicken tenders. Meals are very southern and filling. If you're in the mood for quick BBQ visit one of the six Sonny's BBQ locations in town.

Slope's BBQ of Sandy Springs

200 Johnson Ferry Rd
Sandy Springs, GA 30328

Drew W. writes: I'd heard good things about Slope's catering, so I figured it was past time for a trek OTP to give another barbecue place a first visit.

I had one of the combination plates to get a good sample of what Slope's had to offer. It was a big portion, but…

Ribs Etc
Neighborhood: Buckhead

4233 Roswell Rd
Atlanta, GA 30342

Drew W. writes: Another chapter in my quest to try every barbecue place in Atlanta. If you've ever driven on Roswell Road to and from Buckhead, it's hard to miss this place. It's in a building shaped like a barn with a giant pig painted on the sloped roof. Hard to…

Old Brick Pit Barbeque

4805 Peachtree Rd
Atlanta, GA 30341

Kit F. writes: Opened since 1976, this building has got the internal hardware to pump out some crazy BBQ...but the menu is so depressing like the decor and staff. Is this Mexican southern bbq...East L.A. style?

They got a smoker that can double as Herman Munster's…

One Star Ranch
Neighborhood: Buckhead

25 Irby Ave
Atlanta, GA 30305

Christina A. writes: I am a born and raised Texan. We are dorkily proud of our heritage.

Sonny's Real Pit Bar-B Q

2717 Spring Rd SE
Smyrna, GA 30080

Clay W. writes: Reflections on a dream --- a fragment (to borrow loosely from Coleridge) or perhaps PTSD.

Somebody, wake me please. Why haven't any of those tables been bussed? What's that on the floor? Let me wipe this off my seat before I sit. Why is that woman…

Shane's Rib Shack
Neighborhood: Edgewood

1221 Caroline Street
Atlanta, GA 30307

Drew W. writes: Yet another Raving Brands chain/concept getting closer and closer to East Atlanta Village. Sometimes it feels like there's a new one every week. Shane's Rib Shack is the conglomerate's first foray into barbecue and "Southern" atmosphere (so it has…
