Pulled pork and ribs were perfect! Smoked just right!

The pork was delicious. Unfortunately they were out of ribs, Mac n cheese, cowboy beans, collard greens at 5:00 on a Saturday night. Is this a common occurrence?

After about 3 yrs I finally made the 2 hrs drive.
Employees greeted us and were helpful. Even the guy boh welcomed us and was kind.
The space is super small and can be tricky to find a seat. Even during “slow” times it’s tough to get 4seats in a group.
As for the important part, the food, it left alot to be desired. The sausage (garlic pepper) was super dry and leathery. Was absolutely sliced a few hours earlier then put back in the hotbox for holding. Possibly from the day before.
The Cole slaw was an absolute miss. No salt, sugar, or acidity. I added salt from the table but it was just too bland. I asked to swap it for corn which they did. Sadly the corn… idk the corn was just off overall and not enjoyable.
The beans and mac & cheese were decent. Easily the best thing we had but still not over the top.
The brisket was moist but also under seasoned, which seems like a trend here. It also was warm at best, but far from hot. While I like the point (fatty side) I generally like a more well trimmed fat cap. Which it did not seem like they trimmed much if any fat off the top during prep. Solid half inch plus of fat cap still on the slices.
With adjusting seasoning and food temps this place has potential. Unfortunately it was a miss today for us.

I have used Socks’ Love catering since 2015 and they have NEVER disappointed! On Sunday, they catered our daughter’s wedding. The food was AMAZING as always and the staff were so helpful and responsive. I got so many compliments! Steven Hartsock is a joy to work with and his food won’t disappoint! 👏👏

Stopped on my Bike, On Way Home today, Service was 4.2 out if 5, asked for food to be wrapped so would not spill in my book bag, He did an amazing job.
I got 2 meat combo, With Greens and Mac and Cheese, Portions to prices are great, Food was Really Better than I excpected.
I gave 4 * for food, as Guy scrapped bottom of pan for my mac n cheese.
3* for Atmosphere as it was dead in there no convo from workers. did get a hello when I finally walked up to register (These Young Kids today).

Great food! The Mac n cheese was almost perfect just a tad too salty but I am EXTREMELY picky about Mac n cheese. Same with the brisket chili. The fire roasted cream corn was 10/10. I’ve had my fair share of sweet tea and I have zero complaints about theirs! Overall, this place is a must try.

Knocked my SOCKS off! Love this place for bbq. We got 3 plates. All with brisket and ribs. Sides we got were creamy corn, fries, mac n cheese, and coleslaw. Everything else was super duper good! They had an assortment of hot sauces too.
Service was great.
The place was nice and clean. Love the signs they have up.
Will definitely be coming back! One of our top bbq places now.
Fantastic, delicious, and welcoming! If your looking for great barbecue, good Mac cheese, and a friendly staff- this is the place to go. I had the sliced brisket sandwich with a side of Mac cheese and it was very very good. Seriously, some of the best barbecue I've had in a while. Check it out!

Tucked away in a very unassuming corner of Cumming is one of the most fabulous bbq restaurants in the south. I’ve rarely expect much of restaurants like this because as noted on many of my reviews, I am a dedicated bbq snob of the highest order. However my socks were literally blown off by Socks Love.
The pork sandwich was exactly how a pork sandwich should be - smoky, moist and piled high. Also, because snob, I rarely do more than taste the bbq sauce. Socks Love sauce is tangy, smoky and just a touch of sweet. Perfect!
The brisket deserves a review of its own. As well cooked as any brisket this side of Houston, my slice only ensured that I’ll be back for a whole plate. The sides we tried were great too. The country slaw was delectable, the okra better than your great grandmother’s and the pickles - for all that’s sacred in food, the pickles were legendary with their briny taste and firm texture.
Can’t wait to go back and see the owner Crazy Kay and get more brisket!
