50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near College Park

“I don’t get up this way often but when I do I always eat here. Great meat and three, great cornbread and biscuits, friendly service and the price is right. Can’t beat it. I know why they have been here so long.“

“Everything was absolutely delicious. We had shtimp and grits, brisket burger, pork and brisket barbecue, chicken barbecue and banana pudding.“

“If you’re looking for some of the best chicken in Atlanta, Rickettes is the spot! Hands down, the chicken is top-tier—crispy, flavorful, and some of the best I’ve had in a long time. The owner was there when we stopped by (we’re new to town), and he went above and beyond, letting us sample the turkey wings, ribs, and turnip greens. Everything was delicious, but that chicken stole the show. The green beans were tasty, the catfish was solid, and the turnip greens were surprisingly good. Great food, great hospitality—definitely worth a visit!“

“Wow!!! Bomb food and amazing service. Had to wait a little bit but it was worth it. I came from Knoxville, Tn and all I gotta say is we need one of y’all’s spots over here!! God bless your business and continue to put the Lord first in all you do and it will prosper forever! Thank you for a great experience! 💕Katherine“

“All Of Greedyman's Food Is Excellent. Customer Service Gets Over 5 Stars. But That Fish Philly Sandwich Is Awesome. It's a stroke of genius. No other fish sandwich compares. It's more than delicious. Try It as Well as all of his food. You will be happy and prosperous.“

“We had our first, and way overdue (!!!), time at Gene’s and damn we were we blown away. The food and drinks are second to none - indulgent and fun from apps to drinks to full plates and sides (we ate a lot!) Katie took care of us and she was the best - nailed the recommendations. Our favorites were Bushwacker, Gene’s Salad and Philly (special).

We’ll be back - for date night and with our kiddos. We had more that we wanted to try than our stomachs would allow for.

Atmosphere is fun and whimsical. Perfect neighborhood corner bar, and then some!“

“First let me start off by saying whoever the pit master and the cook at your establishment has truly been touched by hand of God himself! You must have big mama, aunt ruby, aunt Myrtle, and all the members of the church motherboard, in that kitchen cooking! I'm talking about the mother board from the " Hold my mule, standing on The Rock of jericho, Apostolic, christian missionary., won't he do it, blessed and highly flavored, the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, pentacostal, holliness church of Josea L Williams drive! I was at my place of employment and could not leave today for lunch. So to my surprise one of my tenants visited your restaurant today for lunch and she was nice enough to bring something back for me. She brought me back some beef ribs, collared greens , and Mac and cheese. From the first bite down to the very last everything was spectacular.
There are quite a few barbecue spots in the city of Atlanta that are good. But Georgia Boy Bbq cannot be touched! You can taste the time that was spent preparing each and every dish.
You can tell that the restaurant owner and his staff care about the product that is being sold. Thank you for being excellent at what you do and most definitely, I have found my new barbecue spot. The portions are a wonderful size. I couldn't even eat the entire plate myself. I had to put the rest up for later. Thank you so much to Ms. King for bringing me lunch./dinner today and thank you Georgia Boy BBQ for being a cut above the rest. okay i have typed enough lol. .... See you guys next week“

“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!“

“I was looking all over Clayton County for rib tips. On a Sunday afternoon & Drove upon exactly what I was looking for. From the sweet owners with the most pleasant atmosphere. The food was well portion and the taste was unmatched. Being new to this area. I think I’ve found my new go to spot. Which I’ll be sharing with Family and friends.“

“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.“

“Kiyonnia
Was an amazing server from the time we walked through the front door through the time we walked out.
It’s hard to find good service in today’s world and Sonny’s BBQ has definitely meet that goal of hiring the best in kiyonnia today.
And I will always come back because of the outstanding service I received today and definitely send others soon“

“My friend girl brought me to this restaurant for my birthday. I had the turkey ribs, collards, yams and Mac and cheese and the bread pudding, we even tried the fried green tomato,she had the turkey wings. OH ! My gosh the food was sooo, ( never heard of nor had a turkey ribs) it was so tender and the sauce was point on. I don't mind paying a good piece if the service and food is great. When I left this restaurant I took a picture and posted on Facebook, telling everybody I know about this fabulous time at this place and they got to try it out. The service, and my waiter was a 10 .plus“

“Visiting from Texas and gotta say moist brisket, good ribs, and great sides. Went for lunch going back for dinner! Highly recommend.“

“I’ve got food delivered from here Food is the bomb Especially the ribs Don’t need any sauce“

“Service from the start was great with Sabrina. She was super nice and helpful. Sabrina assisted us with what to add to our whole hog sampler. We added spare ribs, smoked chicken wings, and onion rings to our order. The burned ends, spare ribs, smoked chicken wings, and onion rings were my favorite. I recommend the white sauce for dipping. Shu, the manager, gave us a tour of the pit and we met pit master,Angie. The whole staff was welcoming.“

“THE FOOD IS SO GOOD!!! I WILL ALWAYS COME BACK!!!“

“If you appreciate and enjoy a good Brisket, you have to try the one here. I have had the plate as well as the sandwich, which is over stuffed with just the right amount of sauce. Melt in your mouth good.“

“Great food, the meat was so tender, the service was awesome. They kept checking on us to make sure everything was OK and if we needed anything else & the place was clean & very relaxing, I definitely will be back.“

“Fantastic friendly staff and best BBQ in Atlanta. Beer on tap, great mixed drinks, and wonderful atmosphere.“

“My fav are the rib tips but the lamb, wings, fish, and salmon dinners are delicious too. I come to appreciate the food truck flavor. Must taste and become one with your taste buds. 🍽🎊🎊“

“The services was great and the food was on point“

“Wanted to update since my last review. I was at Wyatt's on Friday. Got rib tips and a half slab. Man oh man they were on point. This place is amazing. Thank you for staying in the community. Keep cooking.“

“I just LOVE this place!! Great food, friendly people, clean atmosphere, and will definitely come again with family and friends.“

“The cashier was so helpful in explaining the menu options since this was my first visit. I enjoyed the smoked chicken (don't eat pork) and the mac 'n cheese. I also got cole slaw but it wasn't as tasty to me. Overall, I enjoyed the food and will return.“

“Food truck: Well seasoned food, hot, tender meat, large portions and friendly service. Items tend to run-out by mid-afternoon. Stan frequently steps out of the truck to update the line on what’s left. Dinner plate = meat, 2 sides and a drink for $30/$35… I ate two times from one order. DEEE-licious!!

Parking: Food truck sits on corner of a busy blvd in a parking lot.“

“I had to try them out after following on Social Media the food was so tempting that I had to make a detour through Riverdale on my way back from South Carolina to Alabama. Man they didn’t disappoint at all! The best Turkey I ever had in my life!!! I had the turkey knuckles and rice bowl. I will be coming back very soon. Food is 10 of 10!!!“

“EVERYTHING IS GOOD RIBS SIDE DESSERT I WILL BE BACK GIVE THEM A10/10 RATING“

“Huge Beltline eatery with lots of seating inside and out. It's a very open and social space. Tried the catfish, mac-n-cheese, French fries, and banana bread. Everything looked so good I forgot to take pictures. Very happy with all the items. Looking forward to coming again.“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Five Star Experience That You Must Try“

“I come here at LEAST 3x a week. The wings are ALWAYS FRESH & FIRE ? ALWAYS!! I will say that I personally never order anything besides the wings only. I may someday try the fried rice. The reason for the 4stars is because my very very very 1st x coming here I tried a gyro ? & wings. The gyro was DISGUSTING & COLD!! However, the wings were GOODT. Which is why i continued to come back for the wings. Now, every time i go i get wings only & they are literally ALWAYS fresh & fire !!! I can’t recommend variety from them at the time but i DO recommend the wings & i recommend u give them a try ??“

“Hands-down THE BEST American Deli location. I’ve been to locations across the south and I’ve had no other with service or food like this one. Plus, I haven’t seen another with honey garlic pepper. They make their Philly Chickens with heart too.“

“Great place, good vibes and drinks!“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 A Five Star Experience That You Must Try“

“Let me start by saying, I have one word and that is SUPERB!!!!!! After a day of errands, Shauni and I were ready to eat. After executing a search on Yelp, I came across GQ BBQ and we decided to pull up. Y’all know I love me some BBQ. Upon arrival, the location was super to find as it sits on the main road. When pulling into the parking lot there is parking on both sides as well as parking in the back. The outside was clean and vibrant. We knew we were in for a treat as we were able to smell the bbq before even getting to the restaurant. Yes, the power of a good aroma to captivate the sense of smell. 😜 Heading inside, the location kept with the vibrant color on the walls as to draw your eyes to the menu. There are ample seating options as well so if you desire to eat in as we did, there is indoor and outdoor seating. Taking some time to review the menu, I decided on the Rib Dinner with Baked Beans, Collards, and I ordered two orders of cornbread as well and decided to not get the white bread that comes with the meal. To note, the cornbread is an extra charge. Once our order was placed, we took a seat and enjoyed the games that were playing on the televisions. As we were engrossed in conversation, before we knew it, our food was ready. I retrieved my plate and headed to my seat. The moment I opened that plate, my entire life smiled. After being enticed by the aromas, I was now overtaken by the visual presentation of this meal. As I opted for the sauce on the side, I was able to see the ribs in their naked state and capture the full fragrance of seasoned pork without the coverings of sauce. Babeeeeeeeeeee, GQ BBQ showed off with this meal. Let’s talk the food: Ribs: well seasoned, tender, meaty, minimal gristle, the right amount of fat for a nice chew, great portion size as the dish comes with ribs and rib tips. The sauce was an added layer of joy. I opted to mix their Gresham blend with the Sweet and my mouth had a full mouthgasm of robust flavors, joy, and excitement. These ribs were the absolute bomb with or without the sauce. Baked Beans: perfectly cooked, well seasoned, fresh. Collards: well doctored, tender,perfect pairing for the ribs. Cornbread: absolute gold status, perfectly sweet, cakey with a light crumble, buttery, golden baked, worth the extra cost. The cornbread is slightly small, so I would suggest getting three. LoL. Overall, GQ BBQ was an amazing experience. The ribs dominate the meal as they should, however, the sides compliment the ribs very well. The entire meal is a 10/10 and I will be back very soon for another order. Though I live nowhere near GQ BBQ, I will make sure to make my am way back a few times a year to have my soul fed and taste buds tantalized.“

“Today is my first time having Mr Pigs, Smokehouse when I say they are #1 and the truth!!! When it comes to a healthy heart and tasty BBQ and menu items! I will give you a refund if you don’t“

“The cook always make me laugh. I've been here bout 3x's and everything I've ordered has been sooooo delicious! They know how to make breakfast and everything is so flavorful and done right! I try not to order everything on the menu at one time but I'll try to keep trying different things when I go back and try something else.“

“We had a great time before headed to Beyoncé concert last night!! Will definitely come back when we’re in town.“

“Yacht club is the electric old Atlanta dream of a dive bar with the best darts, drinks, women, and food in the city for the price. You can’t beat their $10 beer and shot combo. Don’t give into corporate Atlanta and go support your local yacht club. If you’re coming to little 5 be sure to stop here for a good time“

“When I tell you the ribs was fall of the bone. This is the best bbq I’ve had outside of cooking it myself 10/10 okay! I love the grass when you walk in the restaurant I wanted to take my shoes off. Add some yams to the menu n I’ll be back everyday. Mac& cheese had a Jamaican taste to it but not too much it was really good. I’ll definitely be back“
