“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!“

“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!“

“Always good food best BBQ hands down!“

“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“

“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.“

“Haven’t even got my food ate but the customer service from the guy working this evening was amazing even at almost closing hours he was very helpful and full of energy and had no problem serving even tho I came in late so I can appreciate the good energy. Just recently lost my father so you never know who you are being kind to.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“My sister and I are both well-traveled. We've enjoyed barbeque at top restaurants in places like Thailand, Fuji, Morocco, Hawaii, Australia, and Toronto. Having done so, we continue to return to our favorite BQ restaurant Rodney Scott’s Whole Hog BBQ. Rodney Scott’s barbeque set the standard for not only Atlanta, but world-wide restaurants. R.S.W.H.B.B.Q is more than “exceptional”. The portion sizes are huge, the vegetables are well seasoned, the potato salad is kick your shoes off good. However, the pork ribs, boned in chicken, and brisket exceed the norm on taste and desirability. The BBQ meats are so delicious that you will find yourself eating first, second, third... Thanks, Team Management for always being on hand to meet and greet and keep the flow of food pickup moving fast. The Johnson sisters want to thank you for making our 4th of July special because of the service and excellent food. We plan to see you again soon. Janice & Jocelyn“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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. 🍽🎊🎊“

“I had the beef brisket with Mac and cheese, collard greens and corn bread. This was probably one of the top 5 best Mac and cheese I had. The collard greens were a bit salty but I liked them. The corn bread was good but a bit dry. The bbq sauce was great I got hot and it wasn’t too spicy it was just right. I would definitely go here again. The prices are a bit pricey but it definitely was a good meal I can’t complain. I had a couple of shots at the bar while I waited for my food. They had a DJ in there it was really nice atmosphere.“

“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 am a regular here and I absolutely love the food and environment. The service is great, especially Alice and Jason! I really appreciate how friendly and welcoming they are, and I highly recommend!“

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

“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!!!“

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

“This place is soo cute and such a fun after church vibe on a Sunday the staff was amazing shout out to Becca and the manager on duty as well as the food runners. They all were so helpful and welcoming thank you for helping us celebrate my best friend’s birthday. We will definitely be back. The Crab hush puppies and burgers are definitely a hit the salmon dip need seasoning but the drinks were perfect !“

“The food was worth every minute of the wait. Service was efficient and professional. I got half a rack of ribs, collard greens, ox tail macaroni and cheese, and red beans and rice. Everything was so delicious, we got our food 20 minutes ago and are currently still sitting in the parking lot because I can't stop eating, and I HAD to leave a great review. My mother is an EXTREMELY picky eater, and she LOVED it!!! We'll DEFINITELY be back.“

“I love the business the food is tasty and delicious. Professional atmosphere and the customer service is always so nice. The owner and her cooks put their tender loving care in all the meals“

“Great place, good vibes and drinks!“

“Had some ribs and chicken last night. nice and tender with good service!! check 'em out!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 ??“

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

“Yes I would.... Staff on Point“

“Decided to try this place since having new management and I must say that it is so much better than before. The food is freshly prepared, and the portion size is great for the price point. They have specials throughout the week and offer a variety of menu items. The tacos 🌮 have become my favorite! The wings are a good size and prepared just how I ask them to be cooked. Overall, I would highly recommend that you give them a try. Take advantage of the specials while they last! $1.50 tacos 🌮 😋 on Tuesdays.“

“We celebrated my Grandma's 90th Birthday today here and she LOVED the food!“

“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.“

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

“Great BBQ. The baked beans were really good 😋“

“Everything I had was a 10+ with a large portion. I recommend this food truck for any event. You won’t be disappointed.“

“The food was great. the service was fast and convenient. You are able to just sit down at order using the qr code. The orders are detailed allowing you to do thing like put sauces that normally come on food on the side. The food comes out pretty fast as well plating is great and flavors on point… best part you were able to pay with same QR code and just leave no waiting for checks“

“Michelle In concourse C was amazing. I was greeted right away and ordered steak and eggs took one bite of the eggs and knew they were either liquid or powdered…yuck however I asked Michelle and she was honest and I asked her to bring me a plate to remove the eggs from my plate. At that point she offered with more potatoes or fresh fruit. She kept a beautiful smile and was kind throughout the whole meal! Thank you so very much!“

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

“I had rib tips dinner. It was definitely good and I forgot to say no sauce so I could really tell. And it was still good. I don't eat cheese but the Mac and cheese look so good I had to taste it and it was good. The stomach ache (cheese) I ever had.“

“The food is bomb and good as always. And there's nothing spectacular about the atmosphere. You may run into some cool people to talk to but there was a guy loitering. I will say one of the original employees did get on him and make him leave. But the young girl at the countertop is rude as hell. She didn't look up she didn't speak. She's sitting there looking at people. Crazy rolling her eyes on her phone until I got my order and she still was real short tempered and I'm my OG at JJ's but I don't play with people children so I gave her the same energy and kept it moving. But a older gentleman got her put together and she finally smiled so

Vegetarian options: I guess the sides but It is a rib shack so you coming there for the meat I don't even order the sides

Parking: There's a parking lot with free parking but they always be packed so just depend on the time of the day. But you can park next door at the gas station, whatever“
