it's a shame what has happened to this place. have ordered pickup from here from quite some time, but the last two times have been truly awful (they had earned the benefit of the doubt for the first time). The brisket now looks like a grey mass of boiled overcooked meat and tastes worse. they should be ashamed

Excellent BBQ pork sandwich and ribs, as good as any I have had around here! The prices are very reasonable for the quality and quantity of the food, so I highly recommend this fine establishment if you want reliable, comfort food and great tasting ‘que! 5 star service and food!

Delicious as usual. We like the ribs, brisket, and pulled pork. A lot of BBQ places seem to forget that it's not just about the meat - the sides can and should be great too. So we really appreciate the fantastic mac & cheese, flavorful collard greens and not-boring green beans. The atmosphere is quiet, no-frills and unassuming, as long as you don't mind being surrounded by dozens and dozens of trophies everywhere you look.

So I've been eating at Sam's when it was Sam's and Dave's. It is a standard by which other BBQs are measure against.

Surprisingly, the food was good. I was about to walk out bc I didn’t see anyone inside during lunch time n I didn’t get that bbq smell. However, the brisket was tasty. It needs a tad bit of salt but good. Mac n cheese was awesome!!! Overall I would visit again. This place needs lights with bells n whistles so people would come in. I got a brisket sammy with mac n cheese n a drink for $10(tax included) 🔥🔥🔥🔥 insane price 😳😳

Went there with 2 of my sons hoping to get the sausage but they were out. We had ribs, pork slider, brisket, smoked turkey and Mac n cheese. All 3 of us were happy with our food.

I highly recommend the brisket plate or sandwich, but the pulled pork and BBQ chicken are also excellent choices. My go-to side is the sweet tater tots, though the mac and cheese and redneck lasagna are absolutely fire as well. This spot has to be the best value in East Cobb—$10 for a sandwich, side, and drink is unbeatable!

A Hidden Gem. Sam's has some of the best barbecue you're likely to find anywhere in the Metro Atlanta region

Our first visit here and certainly not our last. We had a large group and got to see many of the menu items. Our kids had told us the macaroni and cheese was over the top and now I am a believer. Large portions including the pile of pork on their sandwiches.
