50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Brookhaven

“Just had their beef brisket for lunch today, and it was AMAZING. Probably the juiciest, most flavorful and tender brisket I've ever had. But be sure to order the FATTY BRISKET for the most tasty and delicious experience, so good that you don't even need salt or BBQ sauce. WOW!!!“

“My girlfriend and I had a great time. When you come ask for Cody, Kevin, and Jason. They were great, attentive, and we had great conversations. The service was amazing and we’ll definitely be back soon. If you’re looked for good food, service, and atmosphere all baked into one experience come here!“

“LOVE this place, the staff are awesome and the bbq is super flavorful. Perfect weekend activity; pick up some brisket and Mac & cheese and then drive 2 minutes over to the Cochran Shoals trail to picnic on the Chattahoochee River. Be sure to add kimchi mayo for dipping sauces!“

“This was fun experience and the food was amazing! Portions were good for minimal waste and there were lots of sauce options for cooking. We opted to get the Hot Pot and the BBQ, but you can certainly pick one or the other. We will definitely be going back! Also our waitress Sam was very attentive we enjoyed her service!“

“CommQ is a great spot for BBQ lovers and Vegetarians! Yep! I love BBQ and my wife is a Veggie and we eat there every week. She loves many of the sides...beets, sweet potatoes, mac n cheese... and on my end, love the pulled pork but can't do that every day...so the smoked chicken is great too!Really amazing owners, managers and staff. Just a great spot...if you don't like it you should check yourself.Vegetarian options: Grilled Cheese Sandwich...Mac N Cheese...Fries...Pickled Beets...Sweet Potatoes + Kale....“

“I have tried their steak bulgogi and spicy chicken so far. The taste for the steak bulgogi is decent, a bit sweeter than traditional. But their spicy chicken platter is WOW. The spice and the sweetness is spot on. Their cucumber ban chan is addicting. I would love larger size options for the ban chan! I think the price is very fair for the portions. I will continue to be back.“

“Oh my gosh, it's incredibly delicious! Pulled pork and corn is really recommended. Also all sauces are amazing and complements the meal really well. Chloe and Jay's service was outstanding! their recommendations were on point. And Jay is handsome. I want to come again!“

“I walked in and wasn’t greeted by any of the three people standing by the door with the uniform on, fine cause I was sitting at the bar for a to go order anyway. When I sat down the bar tender came over after a few minutes and picked up the straw and cup of water in front of the only open seat that I chose to sit in (didn’t wipe the bar down despite there being liquid and residual ketchup from the last guest). I was told that the menu was accessible via the QR code in front of me (no drink menu on the site) and I told her I needed a minute to solidify my order. When she came back, she took my order and never offered me a drink, I would’ve ordered a cocktail or a beer since I would be waiting for food, I’d think she’d use that as an opportunity to upsell me on a drink. Bartender brought the bill after reading off my order with her back to me and there was a 20% gratuity for dining in. A few minutes later I flagged her down to ask her to remove the automatic gratuity to which she responded “I thought you’d be eating appetizer here while you wait.” If she really believed that she’d have offered me a drink. She removed the gratuity no issues and I paid, and tipped her 18% anyway. 20 minutes later my food came out and when I got home there was no jalapeño ranch that’s advertised to come with the fried pickles and everything was entirely too salty, I couldn’t finish the food. All in all I will go back, because this is the worst experience I’ve had there and it’s still not a deal breaker. The food has always been well seasoned in the past and the service great, so take this review with a grain of salt, or maybe not if you’re planning to go.“

“BQ lover must stop in ATL! Great waitress Jenny took wonderful care. We ate through the majority of the menu. Meat sampling platter option yummy way to try all you want and good to share. Save room for banana pudding!!!Kid-friendliness: Relaxed and funWheelchair accessibility: First Floor“

“A very cool place to eat meat on stick, the truth is that it is delicious, they have live talent, it is good to share with family and friends.After the live talent arrives, the place fills up a lot, so it is difficult to space between the tables, for my taste the atmosphere gets very noisy.I recommend going before the live talent is presented…“

“The food here was amazing! Best BBQ I ever had like literally. Service was fast, food little expensive but it's well worth it because it taste fresh, well seasoned and portion sizes are pretty good. Will visit again when I have to come back to Atlanta.“

“Had a great time with my friend last night at the Atlanta location. I got the Wagyu Brisket Burger, Thai Chili Brussel Sprouts and Brisket Egg Rolls (To-go) and my friend got the King of Memphis Melt with Mac n Cheese and green beans. Might I say, the meal was excellent and cooked to perfection. The vegetables were excellent and a great offset to the heavy sandwhiches. The sweet tea and strawberry lemonade were a good addition to wash everything down. Our waitress Britany was super attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and waited on us with grace. If you’re thinking of trying out Sweet Auburn’s give it a try. 10/10.“

“Great place along the Beltline in Atlanta. Huge, dual level back porch with tons of tables and umbrellas. The inside also had multiple rooms, lots of tables, two bars, and bathrooms.Vegetarian options: YesDietary restrictions: YesParking: We walked the Beltline to get thereKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“I've order from Fat Matt's Rib Shack for years now. The ribs are great & have a lot of meat on them. Great flavor, hot and the Bar B Q Sauce is excellent.I just placed an order for delivery through Uber Eats and as I was taking my food out of the bag I noticed that I didn't have my Rum backed Beans BUT BEFOR I COULD MAKE MY COMPLAINT THEY REFUNDED ME $9 +DOLLARS FOR THE MISSED ITEM.“

“Absolutely fantastic. All the ingredients were super fresh and flavorful. I had the beef butter soup base, and it perfectly balanced between spicy and buttery umami goodness. I have not tried the KBBQ there yet, but if it's as good as the hot pot I will be in KBBQ heaven.Dietary restrictions: Individual hot pots, so you can take family members who have restrictions while still enjoying your own food. Also all ingredients are clearly labeled.“

“This place is absolutely amazing. I'm not particularly a bbq guy, but we tried this spot for my mom's birthday. And let me tell you, this place is awesome. A little hard to find if you don't know that it's there, but this spot has amazing food and service. Everything on the menu is delicious. We had ribs and their corn pudding, which were delicious. Eric and the rest of the staff went above and beyond. I can't rave enough about this place. Apparently, this is also part of two other restaurants in Dunwoody village, so we're looking forward to trying them as well.“

“I’m a frequent visitor and I’ve never had a bad experience. The bbq turkey is delicious and the customer service is always great. The staff is extremely friendly and everyone I’ve recommended has returned to become frequent customers as well.I highly recommend this place.“

“The St. Louis ribs were delicious, expertly prepared with a perfect balance of smoke and glaze—not too dry or wet. The meat had the ideal texture, offering just the right amount of tug, bite, and chew. While I'm not particularly fond of the light vinegar or mustard-based BBQ sauces they offer, which are typical of Georgia and Carolina BBQ, the ribs themselves were satisfying.The tater tots were also cooked perfectly—hot and extra crispy. In terms of ribs alone, they didn't disappoint and are likely the best available in the local area. Although a bit pricey, the quality makes it worthwhile. Service mainly involved ordering at the counter and having food brought to the table, while other tasks like fountain drinks and condiments were self-service. The manager did check on us, which was a nice touch.“

“Our first visit, we will be back! Great food. fast, friendly service! Weather was perfect so we sat outside on the deck. Very clean. The food is fresh, they smoke all their meat daily and they use locally sourced produce. They have a full bar. We shared the OG Salmon Chips - house smoked salmon, chipotle cream cheese, red onion & capers on house made potato chips (piucured) they are a little pricey at $16 for 5 servings but are piled high with fresh salmon so we weren't disappointed (they were great). We also had a Garden Chopped Bowl - (thick cut) house bacon, hard boiled egg, corn, red onion, tomato, avocado, bleu cheese and added Pulled Pork (pictured). Very good, highly recommend!“

“I could write an article on DAS but I have to keep it brief. I understand how to create irresistible atmospheres, hospitable service and consider myself a foodie as I intermittent fast daily and eat once a day. My meals are important. I have now found not only a place in Atlanta with a fun and inviting ambiance with over the top service but also the absolute best BBQ restaurant in Atlanta, DAS BBQ! Thus far, I have had the BBQ Pork, Ribs, Brisket, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad, Mac N Cheese, Das Corn, Brunswick Stew, and Banana Pudding and IMHO the most important aspect, which is the meat seasoning and the sauces. No offense to my friends in the biz but DAS, hands down, has the best of each of these items! I live on the southside of ATL and gladly will drive for more DAS BBQ. Praying DAS opens on the southside of Atlanta. I will be your biggest raving fan!“

“Best, cheapest breakfast in the area, by far. My daughter and I came in for a Sunday breakfast, before the church rush. We were in and out quick. Got a ton of food for $20. Left full and happy. No food pics because I was apparently too hungry to slow down and take some.“

“Stopped by Crazy Skewers for a "light meal" and left super full. The staff was friendly. The menu is quite extensive-- vegetarian friendly as well. The spices on the grilled skewers aren't spicy. Everything was well-seasoned and cooked pretty well.“

“I first ordered from Grubhub and it was so good we made the drive the next day. The beef and chicken and literally everything is amazing. Excellent taste, large portions, and it was delicious. To top it off, the two sweet women that worked up front made this my favorite place to go and take my daughter for amazing food and an atmosphere that feels like home. I hope more people come to this hidden gem, it’s worth the time!“

“Hidden gem! We are visiting Atlanta from Nashville and came across this amazing restaurant. The food is absolutely some of the best bbq I’ve ever had. They also serve breakfast all day. We are coming back tomorrow to try the breakfast burritos. In addition to the great food the service is outstanding. I highly recommended!“

“The Big Poppa Steak Hoagie is a GREAT cheesesteak!! Very flavourful, just enough heat, generous portion, & NOT small at all. I just managed to finish in one sitting, any more & I'd have struggled!! Looking forward to trying the sides. Thanks folks, please come back to Tucker Farmers Market again soon!!“

“Love the atmosphere of this place. Old school decor and laid back. Food was good and I recommend the fish and chips and the chicken cheesecake. My friend had the wings and she said they were just alright. Although they bring the food to your table there is no waitress service and you go up to the bar to order. Good selection of beer as well as a full bar.“

“Okay im 50/50. The meat (pulled pork) was amazing. That sauce no thank you. Its way way to much apple cider vinegar something in it I bought some your barbecue and your sauce here in Atlanta Georgia at a farmers market went home put it together can't eat it cuz the sauce is too vinegar. But the meat was perfect“

“I'm here waiting on my food and had to give this review real quick before I forget! Mayah is AWESOME! I mentioned that it was my birthday and she made me feel really special. It reminded me of how customer service used to be everywhere, and I'm happy that Mayah at the cash register is bringing it back. Even while I was waiting for her to take my order, several people who dined in were coming up and thanking her for her great service. I'm happy that I came in and ordered instead of ordering Uber Eats, and if the customer service is this good, I'll definitely be up here more often.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed our server Stephanie; she was fantastic. Be aware that if you choose both the hot pot and the Korean BBQ, you might not be able to explore one side of the menu. We were so satisfied that we couldn't even consider ordering from the other side. We're looking forward to visiting again this weekend. It was truly delicious!“

“Ive been service industry for almost 10 years. My boyfriend grew up with a service industry family and let us just say Zo is exceptional. Quick and friendly!!! We’ve been to so many Iron Ages and the food is always good but Zo is going to keep us coming back. 10/10“

“Delicious Korean barbecue experience! My friend and I had a delightful lunch here. The quality of the meat was top-notch, and the flavors were out of this world. The service was attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy. Would definitely come back!“

“I've tried so many kbbq places in this city and somehow I keep coming back here. I'm not sure if it's better than every other place or if it's just become my comfort kbbq. Spicy pork bulgogi and the kimchi are my favorites.“

“By far, my favorite lunch spot when I’m in town! In fact, it’s my only lunch spot when I’m in town! I’ve even turned on my local coworkers to this awesome find. Great fresh food, sandwiches, salads and unique sides. The roasted brussel sprouts are amazing . If I lived close, I’d do take out at lunchtime for dinner several times a week. Let’s not forget the cute house where they’re located. Truly a homey feel in a cute southern town.“

“I was welcomed with a smile! Me and my son csme after church ⛪ Today I ordered our food and proceeded to the " Blue light" lol to wait on our food. The nice gentleman behind the counter was extremely nice and friendly. He gave my son a few compliments on his Easter suit and then gave him a cup and said hey tell your daddy to get something to drink. Mind you I only had one cup which was mines. I thought it was not only a nice gesture but the fact that he gave us any conversation at all is 5 stars most of these business do not appreciate their customers...smh..the ribs were delicious ?. My Dad brought me some Saturday was my first time tasting them! Just know I was back on Sunday getting some more lol.“

“We ate here after seeing Cirque du Soleil nearby with our two kids, 10 & 11. The restaurant was clean, and comfortably decorated. I wasn't worried too much about having what amounts to a grill in the middle of our table with the kids. It's obviously hot, but it's not like you'll lose a hand if you get too close here and there. Service was great. Our server was Yuki. He was very attentive, and explained how it worked, and answered any questions. When our food arrived, Yuki told us exactly what each item was, and exactly how long to cook it per side. Not a cheap place to go, especially with kids, but a nice treat after an otherwise fun-filled day with other new first experiences.“

“Glenn & the gang provide a fun, delicious, and speedy food experience. Fried okra and sweet tea. Brisket and ribs. Food delivered to your table sometimes before you sit down. I like sitting in the Elvis Section. Our kid likes the grilled cheese and baked beans. Count the quilts and the pigs.“

“We ordered a couples dim sum, chow fun and crispy pork.We enjoyed all 6 dim sum dishes. We cannot read Chinese but we think the price was $6 for medium, $7 for large and $8 for extra large.Chow fun was also very delicious and large portions. The crispy pork, on the other, was bad. It's kinda tasteless and didn't worth paying $20/lb. We got 1.5 lb and really regret it.We will go back for more dim sums but will never get their crispy pork again.“

“So, like, if you're looking for a super fun place to eat, Revolving Sushi & BBQ is where it's at! They have this crazy conveyor belt thingy with sushi that goes around, and you can just grab whatever looks yummy. And get this each table has its own little BBQ grill, so you can cook your own food too! It's like having a mini BBQ party right at your table. The vibe is awesome, perfect for hanging out with your buds and having a blast“

“So, I was a bit nervous because we sat at the table waiting for over 30 minutes with no server. The manager however is the best I have seen in a long time when it comes to professionalism, respect, kindness, Zee is incredible and should be training across the globe! Now the food was divine, the collard greens is full of flavor and so good!!! Incredible job!!!!!“

“Was delighted to find an old favorite had opened a location that didn't require a cross-town trek.The PULLED MUSHROOM sandwich was a delightful surprise to discover on the menu. I ordered it on a whim and found it quite tasty. It is highly recommended even for the hard core carnivore.The wings were solid and turkey sandwich was moist & tender.Fox Bros remains a solid local favorite that has yet to disappoint. This location holds the quality of the brand high. I will be back !!!Vegetarian options: Obviously not a place for hard-core vegans, but there is one primary vegetarian option, The pulled mushroom sandwich (made with smoked oyster mushrooms) it was very well done.Wheelchair accessibility: Two ramps on either side of the entrance makes for easy access & dining area is spaciously arranged making it easy to maneuver around“

“Visited on a nice spring evening and sat outside and enjoyed our meal. They have a wonderful bbq menu with a mix of Tex Mex. After ordering drinks we ordered nacho appetizer and the plantains. The nachos were great and all five of us cleared the platter. The plantains were very good. The table ordered pulled pork, ribs, pork sandwich, and fantastic sides. Our waiter said his favorite is the Brunswick stew and a couple of us ordered and were very happy we took his advice. The service was great and our waiter couldn't have been better. Great meal!“

“This five stars is for Boris specifically, he made our experience extraordinary! Boris is a REAL one, an ATL GEM. Where Boris goes we will follow. We stand by him. And this location would be in shambles without him, consider him a backbone, a hot pot legend. This location should invest in a cloning machine to have nothing but Boris' servers. If you aren't getting Boris as your server, you are missing out. Boris deserves the world.“

“We ordered shrimp.. grilled and fried, pulled pork sandwich w/fries ? (that bbq is to die for) veggie plates, the Mexican chicken egg rolls the grilled broccoli and the rice. Y'all... THIS IS WHERE ITS AT!!! This is the best food I've eaten in the state of GA and I've lived here my whole life! ....the most satisfied our lil family has been since we got here. Thanks so much Backyard Grill on Cascade!“

“The meats are delicious and I don't usually buy bbq sides because their usually mediocre. The prices have doubled and tripled in some instances. If you thought Fox Brothers was expensive....just bring $30 per person if you want a meat and 2 sides. Also be prepared to wait up to 30 or 40 min. I always tell people you at least gotta try it once.“

“I tried Park 27 today and YUM! I had the Short rib and collard greens soup. Outstanding! It hit the spot on a cold day. The short ribs were tender, and the flavors of the soup, cucumbers, and cabbage were spicy in a good way. Service was great! There is a button at the table to call for server so they only come when you need something. You never feel rushed. I very much liked this. Servers are super friendly and welcoming. I also had fried ice cream. Mmmmm! What a treat! I'll definitely be back to try other things on this menu!“

“My husband and I really enjoyed our first visit. I found it driving by and I suggested going in. Lo' and behold it it turns out to be an ayce bbq, ramen, poke, AND boba. Jackpot! We love all of these. We decided to do the BBQ and we are full and happy. They had a ton to choose from. The sauce bar was more than plenty for us. We decided to grab a boba on the way out and it didn't disappoint. We'll be back.“

“Hands down best bbq I’ve had, in Atlanta or anywhere else. Huge portions, the ribs were falling off the bone, and tasted truly wood smoked and slow cooked. Owners were very nice, offered free samples and suggestions from the menu. Will be “

“Only THE most amazing brisket I have ever eaten, every single time i have been! On top of just as delicious fried okra I swear that is made for KINGS! Lol! Literally mouth wateringly amazing... I have never had a bad experience, and I am not quite sure how this place isn't slammed packed full at all times!“

“It's a smoking bar. The food there has never been disappointing. Maybe 4 star ONE time! I found Bradley's when I was working in the area for lunch. Decided to try it and the lunch special was country fried steak. It. Was. Amazing. Finally convinced the Bride to give it a try and now she wants to go there frequently, so frequently that one of the bartenders knows what we want to drink! Yeah, we need to air out some clothing when we leave due to the smoke. Just be sure to ask the bartender about what has been stocked in the vending machine....“

“Our experience was incredible. 1st off we were greeted with an inviting smile and friendly words by a delightful young lady named Eva I believe.Eva explained the menue options an made some suggestions that my 6 year old son loved!! The pulled pork sandwich with Mac- n- cheese. More than enough for a great price. We also asked for NFL game to be put on one of the many TV's which she did promptly.Our meal ,which was prepared by a young man named Jeremy, was warm and flavorful. Eva brought us our food with a big smile all while taking phone and counter orders and cleaning up a beverage someone spilled at register.Speaking of beverages, the margaritas were delicious, affordable and full of tequila. I recommend the Brunswick stew and smoked turkey platter which Eva suggested. We sat inside but patio looked great.The music was current and not too loud. We will definitely be back and hope to be lucky enough to get the same crew!!?“
