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“

“Consistently good food PLUS great catering customer service. My husband and I found this place while in the area and gave it a try. Everything was delicious—the brisket, the green beans, the Mac and cheese! It’s what I consider real traditional southern good food, no gimmicks needed.
Then I reached out to Monique about catering our wedding and she was very responsive and helpful as we planned the menu. They catered delicious food for our 175 guests and my only regret is underestimating how much people would love the smoked salmon! It’s a must try! My picky grandmother said THAT FOOD WAS GOOD and I think that speaks volumes
Thank you Monique & Derrick !“

“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!“

“Fantastic smoked chicken dishes. well crafted margaritas“

“Never disappointed!!! Always fast and friendly service“

“Awesome flavorful BBQ, great for the entire family & budget. Highly recommend the brisket fries & giant smoked Beef ribs! I will definitely be going back.“

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

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

“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“

“Start your finish the Cherokee Rose impressed us - beautiful presentation, tasty food, atmosphere, jazz music and great staff“

“First time there. Had a great experience!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Update:1/2/25

Awesome customer service, the gentleman who served my husband and I were friendly and attentive. Wasn't busy on a Thursday night.
10/10 recommend.

Great experience! Excellent customer service. Wasn't as busy and I loved it!“

“Turkey bbq sandwich and fries were delicious 😋“

“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. 🍽🎊🎊“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Excellent food, quick and friendly service. I’ve tried several menu items but I always comeback to roast duck over rice. The food here reminds me of Chinatown in SF.“

“I know the owner and I would recommend this place anytime“

“amazing place. best food“

“The food was amazing! I literally ate everything!“

“Food was surprisingly flavorful. The seasoning reminds me of a high-end omakase or a 3-star Michelin star restaurant. The flavor balance is perfect. It's not like other places where they just cook the meat you order with zero flavoring, this place has a very good flavor. The chicken skin skewer. The pork belly skewer. The special beef skewer. Beef tendon skewer. Sweet and sour pork. The 1664 blanc beer. The assortment of drinks offered is very good. Great service. Hime made kimchee is a must order. I want to come here one a week forever. It's that good.“

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

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

“I could listen to them anytime!“

“What a great idea that I might have to bring back to Texas. Great food product that they serve from one central location and have a remote pick up location.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I am glad I came back. My meal this time was very good and the staff are still as friendly as ever.

I ordered the Combo 1. I got to try their pulled pork, sliced brisket, pulled chicken, fried okra, and Mac. The pulled pork is very tender with flavor. The sliced brisket has the most flavor but it is pretty tough. The chicken has decent flavor but better texture. The fried okra was extremely good. I would come here just for that. The Mac is decent. I like their assortment of BBQ sauces. I mix the sweet with the heat.“

“The just bbq company catered my wedding. There were no leftovers because of how delicious the food was. My guests raved all night about how the smoked sausages were the best they have ever had. The owner, John, is extremely kind and accommodating. Every item on the menu is 11/10!!! Highly recommend.“

“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!“
