Brisket was decent, not quite enough fat. Pulled pork was dry and needed sauce, which is unforgivable. Didn't have sides. Service was basically non-existent.
So sad that it is in the same spot that Greater Good used to occupy. That was a far superior BBQ joint.

On my recent visit, I returned to the restaurant for the first time since it was known as greater good bbq. I was very pleased with the excellent service I received. The ribs and brisket were absolutely delicious, especially when enjoyed without sauce. Additionally, the mac and cheese and collard greens were also incredibly tasty.

Nice/OK place, but nothing about it stands out. Food average. Interior design, maybe good for US, but compared to many European places, it places somewhere towards the end of the line.

Parking: Looks like there is plenty of parking at the parking lot.

We had a great time! Food was delicious! Best turkey I think I've ever had. They closed Sunday in VH but they have 2 additional locations. Chastain is open. The Clarkston location is soon to open. These are more casual with ordering at the counter but it's worth it. Recommend that you give them a try.

We came in and were greeted and seated immediately. The waiter was a lil bit rushy as he was waiting a table of 6 as well I believe . Once seated and ordered our food we asked if we could get the hawks game and the warriors on one of the TVs since they were all playing the same college basketball game. He said he didn’t know if he could was very hesitant and said he would see. I pulled it up on my phone and was watching for a few until he eventually got the game playing on two TVs and which I was very appreciative…. But his attitude was not . We got our food ordered drinks in which I got a margarita and my date a Long Island. He walked passed our table several times sometimes even avoiding eye contact with us … it took for us to make eye coat t for him to ask if we needed anything since he had avoided us for so long . LIGHTSKINNED AND OR MIXED OLDER BALD SLIM GUY. Moves fast . We drink our drinks but he didn’t drink his because that Long Island tasted just like my Texas margarita when asked how you guys made yours he got a little snooty and said well it’s only one way 5 liquors and yea and we said it didn’t taste right he was upset about that also because we asked for it to be taken off. He took one sip and it was terrible . You guys should check the recipe… after him giving the worst customer service experience I’ve had in over a year he brings us a tiny pos system with non itemized things for 101. We pay we leave and now I am here because that was my first date and it was RUINED by the waiters behavior . He did not smile one time and did not make us feel welcomed . I’ve been in customer service for over 15 years and I’ve been through some things and have never gave off bad energy to one of my customers ever .

Some of the worst brisket I have ever tried to eat nasty

Margaret Martin

Drove 40 minutes one way because some spoke so highly of this place. The ribs were just okay. The chicken wings were overcooked which meant they were hard by the time I got back home (another 40 minutes). Sweet potato tots weren't done, the batter wasn't even crispy. The $5 house salad was wilted greens, cucumber and a teaspoon of chopped tomatoes. Will never recommend or return to this place. A very expensive lesson!
