40 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Kennesaw

“This place is fantastic for some BBQ!! From the moment you arrive in the parking lot you smell the wonderful aroma of BBQ smoke. Once you step inside, the smoke aroma is so good that your mouth starts watering! Well, mine did at least. There are new owners to this establishment by about a month or so. I know what you're thinking, "is the food still at the level it was before?", because that's what I was thinking. I'm happy to report that, the food is delicious! The pulled pork had a nice smoke in it. The collard greens were excellent and the mac-n-cheese was creamy with great flavor. I've been coming to this place for 10 years and it's always a treat. I'm happy to discover that the new owners are taking the torch and running with it!

“Great experience with my first order from them. Easy to order in advance, great food! So far have tried the chicken and beef stroganoff!“

“We had a lunch at the LongHorn. We had never eaten at a LongHorn Steakhouse and were pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is similar to an Outback Steakhouse. I had the smaller ribeye steak and my husband had the top sirloin. Both were cooked perfectly. We split a caesar salad which was also pretty good. The bread was really good and the waiter gave us more so we could take it back to our hotel. I would recommend this steakhouse.“

“The food is amazing! I’ll definitely be back. It would be nice if there was a Rome, Ga location.“

“One of my regular stops! Food and staff are always great.. Heather, Kat, and Sarah are the best!!“

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

“The ribs were warm and juicy and fell off the bone when bit off, perfection in my book. Mac and cheese and potato salad were not great. Banana pudding smooth, chunky, and delicious. We were there for a birthday and the service was generous.“

“Listennnnn…. I’ve been here in Georgia 5 years and have not found a bbq spot that came close to what I’ve had today. The food was absolutely great!! The prices are great and the amount of food for the price exceeded my expectation. I will most definitely be back. Everything was made to perfection. The service was great and no long waits. I give 2 thumbs up for sure.“

“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“

“Lockdown BBQ catered my companies Thanksgiving meal. People couldn’t stop talking about the incredible taste of the food. They arrived on time and set up all with a friendly smile. The turkey was the star of the show. Juicy and delicious. Please go support this amazing business!“

“Ribs, Brisket, and Collard Greens are delicious. Just the way it should be, smoked perfectly, well seasoned. Very tender! A++“

“My family had our Family Reunion this year in GA and I recommended Lucky's BBQ. The food is tasty and tender along with great service from the staff and owners. I recommend Lucky's BBQ to any and everyone. Forever a customer. Blessings and love Anna and Bobby“

“The pulled pork and turkey was so good, I didn't even need the barbque sauce. The mac n cheese was also very good and creamy. The only improvement I would like to see is garlic toast instead of a slice of untoasted white bread though.“

“This is a great BBQ joint. The real deal. Backyard BBQ at its finest.“

“I went to City BBQ ( Woodstock) for the first time on Veterans Day. Being a vegetarian I thought I would pick up my Veteran’s Day meal minus the sandwich. But, Stephanie was so kind, she chatted with her manager and was able to swap the sandwich for a side. She thank me for my service with true sincerity. I had no idea the sides were so good!! I came back again today and Stephanie greeted me with the same kindness and sincere friendliness I experienced on Veteran’s Day. I watched her show the same kindness to others. Her energy truly changes the atmosphere, and her willingness to go the extra mile for a Military Veteran and vegetarian completely changed my view of City BBQ!“

“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!“

“Alex and his crew are outstanding. Great food, Great price. Thank you“

“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.“

“Really good BQ we had potato salad , Brunswick stew , fries .. i“

“I use to eat here a lot!! But moved out of state. They have the best barbecue ever!! There sides are Amazing too!! Very friendly people!! I miss eating there , and miss them so much!! They are one of the friendliest people I’ve ever met. My boyfriend at the time were good friends with them Terry. We both really think highly of this place!! Thank y’all for what y’all do!! Miss y’all!! ? “

“wow i gotta say . great service . wow very tasty ribs and great french fries . i will be back for sure . im sure the rest of the food there is very tasty too .. thanks Mrs Jewells“

“Great food, great drinks, and friendly staff!“

“It’s just great BBQ, been a min since I’ve been there… loved the stew!“

“Great food! reasonable $$$“

“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.“

“Good food for your money we love it since we tried the first time“

“The food was fresh and good portion sizes the staff was great my friend and I r visually impaired they were so nice to help us order our food great visit we will go back“

“Long time BBQ establishment growing from a "food truck" (before there were food trucks) pop up to an established and respected venue. Engaged with the community and its diners. Lakeside location, in season, and two regular locations. Worth a visit and good food!“

“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.“

“I live close to this Shane's and have gone there quite frequently since they opened. I've never had a bad meal. I prefer the ribs, chopped pork or tenders. Ask for your fries to be well done and they are fresh, hot and crispy. Peach cobbler is excellent also.“

“Spent a Saturday with some friends on the lake and came here for dinner. A buddy of mine had the Catfish and wasn’t too impressed as it was quite dry but the rest of the food was delicious; fantastic shrimp! Service was impeccable & we throughly enjoyed the entertainment. Looking forward to coming back! ? ??‍??“

“My girlfriend and I had an amazing time here, our server Steven was super helpful and on top of everything, even offering to get stuff from the food bar for us while we cooked our meat on the grill! We’ll definitely be back and we hope to see Steven again!“

“Stopped in for the first time and so glad we did! The food is delicious and server was very friendly. Highly recommend.“

“I want to preface this review by saying “I’m just glad I don’t have to drive all the way to Kennesaw or Decatur for Korean anymore!” We went for lunch. As my husband is fluent in Korean and has a background there, we have had our fair share of immersive Korean experiences and food from many locales. Our server - Aiden - was excellent. He was chill, knowledgeable, and well mannered. The banchan was very good - slightly Americanized but very good. Saying “slightly Americanized” is not an insult. You have to create food that would invite people to eat it and try new things while not turning people away due to flavor profiles not typically accepted in the US (e.g., memil muk). This restaurant is exactly as described - it is a K-POP Korean barbecue. If you’re looking for a fried fish, a raw egg in your rice, etc. this isn’t it. All of the servers are not Korean (there is not a huge population of Korean people nearby to hire from). You should be prepared to do the cooking yourself but they’re helpful and will show you how to do it - no cross contamination, using scissors, where it’s hottest on the grill, etc. Overall, we were very happy with our experience there and I’m sure we will not only be repeat customers but will take many friends with us there over time.“

“Recently we got Bub-Ba-Q to cater our company luncheon and their service was nothing short of amazing! A few things changed with our event at the last minute but Aldo was flexible and delivered exceptional food and service! The employees enjoyed the food and we couldn't have been happier with our selection. Thank you Aldo for EVERYTHING, it was a pleasure working with you! Bub-Ba-Q is lucky to have such a great employee.“

“We went for lunch and it was incredible! Quick service and the food was on point. Best BBQ in the area.“

“From starters to entrees, the food selection at Longhorn Steakhouse is fantastic! The service was equally impressive with friendly, attentive staff. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a great place for a meal with friends or family“

“Usually, we have a great dinner at this location. Tonight, we were seated, and for 10 minutes, six different servers walked past our table without stopping. I attempted to get the attention of one, and he continued right past without acknowledging us. After sitting for 10 minutes without anyone stopping by to even get a drink order, we decided to leave.“

“If you want to try Authentic Korean food, this place should be on top of your list. Great scrumptious food with best service is why I love visiting this place. My personal favorite is JhangBong, Tofu Stew with Kimchi and spicy Chicken. Their hot Stonepot Bibimbob is also delicious. In appetizers, I usually prefer Tteokbokki and Kimchi Pan Cake. Overall, food is great and everything about this place consistent. They never fail to disappoint. It gets pretty crowded on weekends during dinner hours but it is worth the wait.

Vegetarian options: There is egg in most of the labeled vegetarian dishes.“

“Yes I would definitely recommend Pat's kitchen... Sunday turkey and dressing is awesome...❤️“
