Big Shanty Smokehouse Reviews
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...read full review
Living in the area 38 years and knew BSSH was here in downtown Kennesaw! What a pleasant experience meeting the owners and talking about how they grill/smoke products ... took home Ribs, 1/2 Chicken .... Brunswick Stew .... simply wonderful ! Tender, smoky ... the Stew was flavorful (full of meat-chunks) .... highly recommended!!!

Big Shanty Smokehouse is a friendly, down-home restaurant known for its outstanding BBQ. The tender brisket, flavorful ribs, and juicy pulled pork are not to be missed, along with great pulled chicken and smoked wings. Sides such as potato salad, mac and cheese, baked beans, collards, and green beans are delicious and generously portioned. The menu also features the famous Steve’s Sampler, which offers a variety of meats including brisket, ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, and smoked sausage, all cooked to perfection. The baked beans and Brunswick stew are tasty, and the homemade BBQ sauce adds a special touch, reflecting the pride taken in the food. Desserts like banana pudding and blueberry crisp are highly recommended, offering a sweet ending to a great meal. The atmosphere feels like a step back in time, and although the seating area is on the smaller side, the service is quick, friendly, and efficient, making it a popular spot for take-out. Overall, Big Shanty Smokehouse is a must-visit for anyone in the area who loves authentic BBQ and homemade flavors.
