44 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Kennesaw

“Last week stopped by Big Shanty Smokehouse in Kennesaw, Georgia. I’ve been going here for years and always has been one of my favorite places in Georgia. Paul Holden of Willingham's World Champion BBQ recently took over as the new owner in August and excited to see what he continues to bring. He’s top notch pitmaster in the competition world but also has been in the restaurant business as well. I got the brisket which was amazing and also some of their signature Turkey ribs (Friday Special) and of course some Brunswick stew and Mac & Cheese. Everything was very good and will be back soon. Currently they are open Wed-Thursday 11am-2pm & Friday-Saturday 11am-7pm. (So stop by and see them.)

“We bought two pot pies and loved them. We went back and bought five more. We can say the chicken and jambalaya are both delicious. I cannot wait to try the others. They also reheat well!“

“Good Food and awesome Staff.“

“Shannon, our server did a phenomenal job. She kept our our table clear of plates , our food came out quickly and she answered questions I had about drinks. Shout out to the kitchen staff our steaks were perfectly cooked and we had a porterhouse!“

“We’ve been coming here for years and love this location! Great service and food! Yolanda is the BEST server and should train all future servers!“

“Max did an outstanding job! He even brought me a cup of water while I was leaving outside.“

“Amazing sauce, & the most delicious BBQ!! This place is a landmark!!“

“I ate here recently with some folks from church. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was good (I might have thought this was going to have some hot sauce involved, but that's a recipe thing—the staff prepared it well!). The okra was excellent, as good as I'd make it myself or better. I have had their pulled pork and chicken here before, so I can vouch for the BBQ. It always tastes fresh, and the sauces are good.“

“Stopped in for a quick bite add the brisket sandwich with a side of mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was good it had a bit of crust on the top and the cheese was well melted throughout and a good quantity of cheese. The brisket was good it had a real tender taste it had a smoky flavor I do like it a little crustier on the top but it was good.“

“Really disappointing. We used to go here when it was owned by Sam and Dave. That was a long time ago. Recent visits convinced us not to go any more. Both pork and beef dishes were primarily fat, and the potato salad was dry with weird texture around the edges. And don't get me started on the lack of cleanliness. Sitting at a booth, the wooden walls were filthy--really disgusting. No, I don't own or work at or know anyone who has a competing bbq place. Just can no longer recommend this one.“

“The food here is OUTSTANDING! BBQ is perfect! Coming back soon with my wife so she can enjoy it! Fry was awesome and friendly!“

“Update. Picked up 3 lunch orders today. Chicken breast sandwich was perfectly cooked and huge. Not a Sloppy Joe Sandwich was delicious and a pork and pulled chicken plate was very good. The deserts won today. The Chocolate Cake was amazing and delicious. Then there was the Cherry Cobbler. WOW! That had to be the best cobbler I have ever eaten. Bits of sugary dough almost like candy and delicious dark cherries. I would order it again any time. Both deserts were larger than expected. The servings accurately reflected the pictures. We don't usually order desert but today's was outstanding!

Today I ordered the Burnt Ends Pork Belly. It was delicious. Well cooked on the outside and tender on the inside. The glaze was a nice addition. Green beans and corn pudding were outstanding. One other diner enjoyed the pulled pork and turkey combo with the above sides.

Ordered online today. Ready for pickup on time. The pork was delicious with the right amount of smoke. It was tender and juicy with some great blackened skin. Corn pudding is very good along with the potato salad and hush puppies. I will be back.“

“Visiting Hiram for a wedding. Went here for some peach cobbler. Let me tell you the service was nice, the owner, the sweetest, and the cobbler was slap yo mamma fantastic. Dough to peach ratio was just right. Go check them out , trust me you won't regret anything!!“

“Williamson Brothers Bar-B-Q provided the meal for a tailgate this past weekend for the GWU/GA Tech. The pork and chicken were delicious. The sauces for the meat were Great. Great workers and food made a awesome tailgate.“

“Did the Brunch buffet today. Everything I sampled was good to excellent. Definitely no complaints. All the staff were helpful, courteous, and smiling. JD even played a pinball game with my 2 grandsons. My only complaint, if you want to call it that,was being charged for ice tea. Trust me, that won't stop us from going again. EXCELLENT!!“

“Man I just had the 2 catfish plate with the fries...hitting! At least 20- 30 mins after, it was still hot and good. That real Asian hood fish flavor with the flick of the wrist. Awwready!“

“I take my client out to eat twice a month and we have went to different restaurants in Acworth and she wanted some barbecue so a neighbor of mines had told me that they had a good barbecue pork sandwich but she didn't like the barbecue pulled pork,pork in the ribs was too fatty and the macaroni cheese was dry and didn't have no taste to it, only thing that was good was the fried okra and the roll ,and the Sprite at the machine it was nasty. she didn't like the coleslaw cuz it had pieces of the core all in it, so she took about four bites out of her pulled pork in a olive baked beans sell for a teaspoon of it but she said she didn't want to come back we should have asked for a refund but she said it was okay she just won't come back“

They operate out of their food truck amd the food they are putting out is amazing! We had the dark and white jerk bbq, bbq ribs, pulled pork, mac & cheese, and rice & beans. Everything was well-seasoned and tasty. The chicken and ribs were cooked to perfection and the sauce was on point. We will definitely be visiting again...soon!“

“I’m giving a 5 because normally it is a five however I got what I normally get which is half slab and 2 sides and it wasn’t hot at all not sure what happened the last time I visited I even followed 2 people that walked out and paid for thier meal because of my belief in how good this food is I always promote them on my tik tok page so when I placed my order the lady said hey ur the TIK TOK BOY yea she said BOY this was the moment I decided I won’t come back haven’t been called boy since I was a boy but I’ve always gotten great service and hot food maybe they was having a bad day and learn how to address men as men NOT BOYS“

“I can’t believe I haven’t been here sooner. Everything was just delightful. The smoked meats were marvelous and the jams were fabulously tasty. Topped with wonderful service and a chill atmosphere Crooked Tree is my new favorite place.“

“I ordered Eru & fufu, okra soup and Jollof rice. The eru was so good ? , I enjoyed the jollof rice & goat meat.My only complaint will be the okra that didn’t tasted fresh. They gave me a bowl of pepper & tomatoes mixed on the side to go with all my dishes. I recommend and definitely will be going back.“

“It's a food truck. It's hard to find good fried fish in Cobb. I ordered the fried whiting with sides of collards and rice n beans. The fish was fried and seasoned perfectly, not salty at all. The rice and beans were the best I ever had. I wonder if they sell a pint size of the rice and beans. The collards were good, too. I loved the food, a good value for the money. I will definitely stop by the next time I'm in that part of town.“

Christina is outstanding and always treats everyone like family. If we are there for drinks or to eat, we always sit at the bar because we know the service will be great.“

“Absolutely delicious. Every time! I honestly don’t think I’ve ever had a bad experience at this location. It’s always delicious and hot and I definitely can’t argue with Price. 10 out of 10 must visit.“

“1st time here for Grilling KBBQ on table = yummy!! They are generous with their banchans (sides) too so we had plenty to eat with left overs to take home. The service is courteous & they cooked for us & served Marinated Kalbi & Bulgogi. Highly recommend!!
Local Cobb Favorite!“

“Went there for the very first time today, Father’s Day, to celebrate my son-in-laws birthday.. it was such a fun experience, the food was excellent and our waiter was fantastic! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. We all did the hot pot experience, but I will be back soon to do the Korean barbecue grill experience. The food was very fresh and I would highly recommend this place!“

“My boyfriend and I have come to this Longhorns for 2 years now, and it is consistently delicious and has such a great staff! ESPECIALLY our waiter Nick, he is AMAZING! Such a kind man, always recognizes us and goes above and beyond to make each meal special. Nick deserves a raise! He’s the best!!“

“Man if you don't get the parmasan crusted toppings on your meats and atleast one side of the 3 cheese stuffed mushrooms what did you come to the place for anyways! I always get the renegade sirloin or the NY strip. Go on and get them grilled shrimp with ya steak and you can't go wrong. Nice place to take the family and I celebrate my birthday at one of thier establishments each and every year for the last 10+ years and don't plan on making any changes any time soon. One day I'll find one that will sell me one of the steers off the wall. Came close a few times . But soon I will get one!!“

“Went there with my boyfriend for my early birthday dinner. Absolutely loved the food and environment. Everyone was so nice and we got our drinks and food fast . Was able to pay fast as well.“
