32 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Acworth

“I take my client out to eat twice a month and we have went to different restaurants in Acworth and she wanted some barbecue so a neighbor of mines had told me that they had a good barbecue pork sandwich but she didn't like the barbecue pulled pork,pork in the ribs was too fatty and the macaroni cheese was dry and didn't have no taste to it, only thing that was good was the fried okra and the roll ,and the Sprite at the machine it was nasty. she didn't like the coleslaw cuz it had pieces of the core all in it, so she took about four bites out of her pulled pork in a olive baked beans sell for a teaspoon of it but she said she didn't want to come back we should have asked for a refund but she said it was okay she just won't come back“

“5 Stars
If you’re looking for real barbecue, look no further. From the moment you walk in, the smell alone lets you know you’re in for something special. The brisket was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the ribs were perfectly smoked with just the right amount of bark, and the sides — don’t even get me started on the mac and cheese and cornbread. You can tell they put love and patience into every plate they serve.

The staff were super friendly and made us feel right at home, like we were old friends dropping by for a meal. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and every bite was packed with flavor. Easily one of the best BBQ experiences I’ve ever had. Highly recommend — I’ll definitely be coming back (and bringing more friends with me)!

“I’m giving a 5 because normally it is a five however I got what I normally get which is half slab and 2 sides and it wasn’t hot at all not sure what happened the last time I visited I even followed 2 people that walked out and paid for thier meal because of my belief in how good this food is I always promote them on my tik tok page so when I placed my order the lady said hey ur the TIK TOK BOY yea she said BOY this was the moment I decided I won’t come back haven’t been called boy since I was a boy but I’ve always gotten great service and hot food maybe they was having a bad day and learn how to address men as men NOT BOYS“

“If you’re looking for some amazing food at prices that can’t be beat, pull up.The food is packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and you can tell it’s made with care. Portions are generous and the sides are just as good as the main dishes. And as mentioned earlier, the prices are super reasonable and you can’t beat it, I highly recommend!“

“Did the Brunch buffet today. Everything I sampled was good to excellent. Definitely no complaints. All the staff were helpful, courteous, and smiling. JD even played a pinball game with my 2 grandsons. My only complaint, if you want to call it that,was being charged for ice tea. Trust me, that won't stop us from going again. EXCELLENT!!“

“Love their Turkey and Dressing! But today somebody is crazy on the salt! Great place for Veggies!“

“Came here for the first time today. Service was fast and friendly. Atmosphere was kid friendly, I came with my daughter. Food was great. The BBQ chicken was the best. Banana Pudding was, well… glory. Now I am stuffed and in need of a good nap.“

“Longhorn is always a good choice.
Experience was good. Didn't give 5 stars because we ordered the Parm crusted chicken and it came out extremely salty. Waitress said she had several complaints on it and we weren't the only ones. (Why would you keep serving that batch if so many people complained)
They made it right with a fresh one but by that time we had finished the rest of our meal.
Other than that. Everything was good“

“Ordered the drunken noodles with chicken level 3 spice. Plain and simple. it was fantastic“

“Last week stopped by Big Shanty Smokehouse in Kennesaw, Georgia. I’ve been going here for years and always has been one of my favorite places in Georgia. Paul Holden of Willingham's World Champion BBQ recently took over as the new owner in August and excited to see what he continues to bring. He’s top notch pitmaster in the competition world but also has been in the restaurant business as well. I got the brisket which was amazing and also some of their signature Turkey ribs (Friday Special) and of course some Brunswick stew and Mac & Cheese. Everything was very good and will be back soon. Currently they are open Wed-Thursday 11am-2pm & Friday-Saturday 11am-7pm. (So stop by and see them.)

“This bbq place was so fast and delicious. Better than most places we’ve had as the meat was flavorful without needing to be soaked in sauce. The kids plates were a good size and all the sides were tasty. Very friendly folks. If we’re ever in the area again, we will certainly stop by.“

“Try ot all , sampler is where it's at“

“Vegetarian options: There are six large options for vegetarians

Dietary restrictions: I have to follow a Keto/Low Carb diet and there are many options for a great and enjoyable meal. The brisket is easily the best in the state of Georgia and in the top five I’ve ever had !!“

“I went to City BBQ ( Woodstock) for the first time on Veterans Day. Being a vegetarian I thought I would pick up my Veteran’s Day meal minus the sandwich. But, Stephanie was so kind, she chatted with her manager and was able to swap the sandwich for a side. She thank me for my service with true sincerity. I had no idea the sides were so good!! I came back again today and Stephanie greeted me with the same kindness and sincere friendliness I experienced on Veteran’s Day. I watched her show the same kindness to others. Her energy truly changes the atmosphere, and her willingness to go the extra mile for a Military Veteran and vegetarian completely changed my view of City BBQ!“

“Really disappointing. We used to go here when it was owned by Sam and Dave. That was a long time ago. Recent visits convinced us not to go any more. Both pork and beef dishes were primarily fat, and the potato salad was dry with weird texture around the edges. And don't get me started on the lack of cleanliness. Sitting at a booth, the wooden walls were filthy--really disgusting. No, I don't own or work at or know anyone who has a competing bbq place. Just can no longer recommend this one.“

“Spent a Saturday with some friends on the lake and came here for dinner. A buddy of mine had the Catfish and wasn’t too impressed as it was quite dry but the rest of the food was delicious; fantastic shrimp! Service was impeccable & we throughly enjoyed the entertainment. Looking forward to coming back! ? ??‍??“

“The food was fresh and good portion sizes the staff was great my friend and I r visually impaired they were so nice to help us order our food great visit we will go back“

“I love Rodney’s, the grilled catfish is so yummy. I was so sad when I hurd that they had closed the doors, I was shocked because the people of New Hope loved Rodney’s. My family had been there too many times too count, order their banana pudding for birthday’s and holidays. I had ordered food for the East Paulding football coaches and food for the team. I have never had nothing bad too eat at Rodney’s, so if you haven’t ever been go. The breakfast is awesome, and then lunch after church or Friday nights. Thank you for opening back up Rodney’s from this customer that totally enjoys coming and eating there. Pat Bryan“

“It's a food truck. It's hard to find good fried fish in Cobb. I ordered the fried whiting with sides of collards and rice n beans. The fish was fried and seasoned perfectly, not salty at all. The rice and beans were the best I ever had. I wonder if they sell a pint size of the rice and beans. The collards were good, too. I loved the food, a good value for the money. I will definitely stop by the next time I'm in that part of town.“

“I dined here recently and it was the best experience ever! The food and the staff were amazing. I highly recommend dining here!!!👍👍“

“We bought two pot pies and loved them. We went back and bought five more. We can say the chicken and jambalaya are both delicious. I cannot wait to try the others. They also reheat well!“

“The food is amazing! I’ll definitely be back. It would be nice if there was a Rome, Ga location.“

“I can’t believe I haven’t been here sooner. Everything was just delightful. The smoked meats were marvelous and the jams were fabulously tasty. Topped with wonderful service and a chill atmosphere Crooked Tree is my new favorite place.“

“Newyork strip.... was wonderful. The Texas Tonion was a little of a let down, feels like they have changed the batter. Let me explain it like this, It looked, and the texture of it was like it had been frozen. It tasted fine. Just the presentation was off.
Oh and I think they have gone a lil overboard with the "parmesan crusted" everything. Lol“

“Tuesday, Aug. 12th at Longhorns E. Main Street in Cartersville, GA was great. All of our boxes were checked: bright atmosphere different from other very dark Longhorn Restaurants, cushioned comfortable chairs for our older family, and the service was AMAZING. Matt, our server, was so kind and patient while we asked many questions and he helped make our lunch into a birthday party! We each truly enjoyed our food and friendship even with the other parties at neighboring tables.“

“Terrence was the best in every aspect this Gentleman deserves more recognition due to the fact that he takes care of his customers beyond and above expectations, I’ve never had the pleasure to be taken care like I did today. I wish and hope that he can be promoted, Nick was an amazing Manager whom listen and appreciate our critique and our input on his restaurant and personal, this place is a 5 star in everything. We love to dine in our country and every state we touch down in but I’m not going to lie I will definitely make this my home to for ever occasion that I’m here in Kennesae GA. I wish to say Terrence we love you appreciate you and God Bless you, you’re and amazing person and you will always be in our minds every time we are here.
This is the type of service and customer care every restaurant should have , you guys should be in the restaurant gods manual on how it needs to be ran. Thank You Nick and Terrence and the Crew. Yall made our night we appreciate you guys from our hearts.“

“All the way from O H I O...just moving to Marietta didn't want to cook and right down the street I found delicious 😋 soul food. Thanks Tamika“

“Just finished lunch. Great chicken and steak. Fresh salad bar. Sincere and great hostess and servers. Prices were good too!“

“We had such a great experience thanks to our hostess, Faith Parem. She was friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. You can tell she really cares about the guests and pays attention to the little details that make a difference.

And fun bonus: Faith also makes really good butter! Sounds random, but it was actually delicious and added a special touch to the meal.

Overall, Faith helped make our night extra enjoyable. Highly recommend!“

“First time going tonight, definitely will be going back! Outstanding!“

“We’ve been coming here for years and love this location! Great service and food! Yolanda is the BEST server and should train all future servers!“
