50 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Decatur

“Best brisket I have ever had!“

“My husband and I love to find a good Brisket sliced bbq. While on the job my husband had lunch here and came home (an hour away) bragging about how good it was. Naturally, I’ve got to try it…..it is soooo good! I highly recommend it and will be back. Very welcoming and friendly. Our server was excellent and recommended the Alabama White sauce, I haven’t had any this good since I first tried it and fell in love with it. This place is a must try if you’re in the area. Thanks for a delicious experience.“

“Great service & amazing food“

“Volunteering at new life church around the corner and wanted bbq on a Saturday. This place came up near with good reviews. My 1st time, I tried the ribs & fried wings. Wanted more grilled options, but the brisket was sold out. Connected to a gas station. Plenty of parking, adequate restrooms, nice cashier, straight forward simple menu with great options we all like. Order meat separately from sides. No combo options displayed-all A la carte. Easily make any combo. Nice smoked grill smell coming from the back.

Wings-10/10 great price and portion. Great flavor throughout to the bone. I would reduce the seasoning added on top as it was a bit too salty. I would order these again. Good thin fries and southern okra.

Rib tips-10/10 great price and portion. Not too over seasoned, Chef allowed the meat to stand out. Perfect thick cuts of tips and perfect tenderness. Visible smoke layer on the meat which was perfect with a little crust crunch. You can put this picture in a magazine. Great job Chef on these A1 meaty rib tips.

Mac & Cheese- looked great. My wife said it didn’t have much flavor. I couldn’t try it-lactose intolerant

Green Beans- I can tell it’s seasoned without meat. I actually prefer canned green beans with just salt and pepper instead of these seasonings. Felt more like a $3 side instead of $4

Coleslaw-when I got home 30 minutes away the coleslaw was warm, which made me question was it not cold when I purchased it or was it because it was placed around the hot items that it became warm in transit. It was fair tasting, could have been colder and more vibrant on the appearance.

Baked Beans-10/10 I can tell that they were cooked a while to allow the flavor to marinate and these beans were perfect with the barbecue and fried chicken, fries, and okra. The light bread was good too, but I do like good cornbread.

Didn’t see any desserts. Good meats and fair prices. I’m sure they do well catering. I’d like for them to upgrade the overall aesthetic/signage; Outside banner, inside decoration, catering highlight area upgrade. Upgrades cost, which may mean their prices may have to increase, but with the quality of food, the aesthetic should match and it’s pretty plain outside and inside. I asked to speak to the owner/chef because the rib tips and wings with fries, okra, and baked beans were simply delicious. I didn’t try the other sides until I got home. Everyone was nice and felt like family. I support this place, recommend and will come back.“

“I recently had the privilege of visiting the Memorial Drive location and the food was outstanding, both in quality and quantity. I am from Houston, Tx where great food is intrinsic to our culture. The food was perfectly seasoned and delectable. I plan on revisiting soon!“

“One of my favorite restaurants!!! Love the food, Love the atmosphere and Love the service!!!“

“The ribs were so tender and juicy and the greens were very good also.“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“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!“

“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!“

“We absolutely love this food! Chicken plate with sides, brisket plate with sides all delicious!!! Highly recommend!!! Very clean and young people working that so polite!!!“

“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!“

“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 had a craving for barbecue, so i visited Pig-N-Chick. I ordered the rib plate and was pleased with the taste of the food served here. The customer service was amazing. The staff is friendly and courteous. The atmosphere is pleasant (the music is great). I recommend this establishment.“

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Very very good food and great staff“

“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.“

“Great service, great place, great people! ,“

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

“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“

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

“SABROSA COMIDA VENEZOLANA“

“Some of the best BBQ I have had‼️ Don't need any sauce.. meat so tender and so delicious. so glad I came across this food. They have gained a forever customer‼️“

“I come here often, but today was the best service I have ever received. Many times, the waiters just rush and don't help you out. Today, my friend and I had the pleasure to be served by a young man named Justin. He was attentive, friendly, and helpful. If you go to eat here, definitely ask for Justin. My experience today was superior and I will definitely be coming back. Especially if they keep Justin.“

“I LOVE this place!!! The food is delicious and the service is unmatched! I’m a creature of habit, I find something I like and then I order it every time. The staff are awesome! They’re super friendly and they know my order. Plus, when I order wings I always order all flats and they don’t up-charge me for that. They have pride in their food and they genuinely want their customers to enjoy their meal. This place feels like the restaurants I grew up with. A real community gem!“

“We love to eat here! I enjoy the vibe, the food and the prices! I have to eat here at least once a week but I shoot for twice.“

“amazing place. best food“

“everything is so good 👍🏽“

“authentic delicious Korean“

“The brisket was amazing! Look forward to trying some tacos on my next visit.“

“This place is great! Recommended to my friend and me by a Michelin chef.

The bulgogi and short rib were very flavorful and tender, and I loved all the condiments and veggies that came with it. Cha offered great recommendations and conversation. Almost felt like family was cooking for us.

I know this place isn’t high frills, but you can tell this place used to be the place back in the day. Definitely don’t judge a book by its cover. I will definitely be back“

“I could listen to them anytime!“
