Have eaten here on many occasions but today the food was not good. I ordered the barbecue chicken white meat and it was not cooked and did not have enough sauce on it. The Mac and cheese was awful and the barbecue pull pork had a bad taste to it. Not sure what’s going on but we ended up throwing out take out order away.

Had the brisket sandwich with slaw and a side of greens, one of the special sides of the day. The brisket was excellent! Hot, tender, fell apart nicely, great smoke flavor, just delicious! Greens were also very good, nice little tanginess to them. Staff were very friendly, advised on brisket instead of pulled pork since a fresh brisket was just about to be sliced. The owner checked on how everything tasted, took some time to have a little conversation. Overall, a great little place and meal. Will stop by again!

Stopped in for a late dinner close to 7:30 and the service and food were amazing! We had been driving by for a while and regret not coming in sooner! We got the ribs, pulled pork, collards, brunswick stew, and the mac and cheese and everything was perfect! Definitely a must try!

I met a buddy of mine who lives nearby for lunch and it was fantastic. I drove from Buckhead and it was worth the drive for real BBQ. Care was put into cooking the meat and sides. I had the sliced brisket sandwich, slaw and beans and brought chicken home for the family for the next night. It was a huge hit. Everything was excellent.

The sauces added to the meal, the service was great, the restaurant is clean. The new owners really care and are doing an excellent job. I will be back.

Great BBQ joint. I had the sampler platter. Great food! Couldn’t eat it all. Met the owner. Real nice guy. Turns out he cooks in competitions. Competed in Memphis. Had a lot of trophies displayed. I’ll definitely go back. Try the brisket!

Fantastic championship level BBQ at a great, local restaurant! Paul Holden, the new owner, brings years of competition BBQ experience to a restaurant already known for good food and has brought it to the next level. Definitely recommend! Try the brisket!

Food is pretty good, but I'm leaving a review because of how sweet and helpful the staff was!

First time trying their BBQ and loved it! Great service!

Just moved to the area and this is the closest BBQ place to us, so figured we'd give it a try. And... WOW! The chicken sandwhich was fantastic, the pulled pork was great as well. The Brunswick stew is to die for, one of the best I've ever had. We had baked beans and potatoe salad as well which were both equally great. The staff was very friendly and helpful as the cherry on top. Will be a frequent flyer here.

Delicious bbq! Nice place for lunch

In my opinion, this is the best bbq in the area. Delicious food and friendly quick service. Such an unassuming but excellent place.

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.)
