    Small dinning area
    Correy E.

    I love these little hidden gems!!!!! I came here on a Friday after work to check to this place out. The dinning area is small but the place was crowded. That's a good sign! The staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered the beef short ribs with greens and eight smoked buffalo wings. Well, I was surprised! The beef ribs were on point and the smoked wings had great flavor but the skin was chewy. Overall I enjoyed my meal and I will definitely come back.

    Half bbq smoked fall of the bone chicken

    I definitely recommend Almighty pit, this is a talented bbq crew. When we saw the big hardwood fired smoker chugging smoke outside this place we knew we had to try it. This was mid afternoon 3:15PM Friday 8/7/26. We live in Buford and aren't down this way often. They were sold out of pork which was a good sign to try that in the future. I had the hot buffalo wings, collard gumbo, and my wife had smoked half chicken and Mac & Cheese and later some banana pudding. We tried a bit of each other's meal. All epic and tasty, the half chicken was fall off the bone tender, well smoked and crazy good, the Mac and cheese served In a little cast iron skillet, the pasta was ridged for cheese retention, was creamy and delicious, huge portion too enough for 2 people. The hot buffalo wings large and meaty, tasty, spicy. They were an order of 8 and at 6' 7" tall 275 lbs I could only eat 5 of them. The wings were cooked fresh to order and took 15 minutes, but they brought out the other dishes as they made it, so it was all temperature hot. The collard gumbo was the bomb. At least 4 medium peeled shrimps were in it with tail on and and 2 small pieces of sausage, the collards themselves were the BOMB. I could tell they were freshly made, not canned. Collards were dark leafy greens but well cooked and seasoned these were also served in a small cast iron skillet, I ate all the collards. Epic collards I can't stress this enough. If you need a collard green fix go to Almighty pit. They had several unique bbq sauces too, blueberry, guava, and a 3rd one. Portions were big and prices reasonable for the portion sizes. I should mention on the menu. The only chicken wing flavor mentioned was lemon pepper, which we learned from their chef. Stan, is their signature flavor wing, I will definitely try those next time. We had a nice visit with him, and learned they just opened earlier in 2026. This man and his team know what they are doing. Just stand in the parking lot and take a whiff of that big giant smoker they have and you will know you're at a great place. We didn't try the brisket, only later on as I was reading reviews I saw some people mention the Brisket here is a little different. But based on what I saw when we were dining in and in the pictures in reviews Almighty Pit's brisket looks like the kind served at Jasper's BBQ in Waco, TX. Jasper's has been open for over 100 years, is world famous, and they are known for their unique brisket, and I can't wait to try. Almighty pits brisket in the future. I am going to attach pictures of our actual plates. We had they put a tasty unique seasoning blend on top of my buffalo wings and my wife's mac & cheese. Later on we had the banana pudding, which was fluffy, Rich, not too sweet, not an overbearing banana flavor, but tasted like something. My grandmother would've prepared. We were stuffed and unable to eat all of our food and got to go containers, which I should mention are high-quality containers. I should mention the staff was very friendly, attentive, answered our questions and delightful. I'm going to go out on a limb here, but I believe these people are gonna be famous one day for bbq in Georgia.

    Delish!

    Amazing food! Great service. To go we had pulled pork, Mac & cheese, collards, coleslaw and chocolate cake. We drank the juice from the collards!

    Support local BBQ! In the same building as ACE hardware. Grab a meal and do some home improvement shopping. Ribs fall off the bone and have good smoke flavor. Chicken & brisket could use a bit longer in the smoker, but were still good. Sausage is the star. Absolutely delicious. BBQ sauces are really good. Mac N Cheese is excellent. Banana pudding was a bit of a letdown. Not very flavorful. The whiskey caramel sauce to go on top is perfect. Don't change that. Service was great. We'll be back!

    Almighty Pit BBQ was set to be the first SCATHING review I had ever done. If you have followed me or read my reviews in the past 15 years, you know I'm not typically one to write negative reviews. Even on the rare occasion that I'm provoked, I try to be constructive. But this review was gonna be way outside my norm! I was infuriated with the food and the service, but decided to give them another try instead of giving a harsh review. [ FIRST VISIT ] It was the day before the 2026 Superbowl, and everything seemed to be wrong with every part of my experience. No plates offered, no napkins, website was incorrect, food was terrible and came out at different times and overall service was lacking. The spare ribs were way overcooked, extremely greasy and mushy while the brisket was under-cooked and tough. The yams were okay, but the mac n' cheese was blah. The collard greens (spelled callard on menu) tasted two weeks old and the sweet tea was just brown water and not very sweet at all. Their rating on GOOGLE was 4.9 after 105 reviews, driving our decision to give them a try. TOTAL FAIL!!! SIDE NOTE: I should mention the owner did refund me for the brisket and collards after seeing how unhappy we were, but not for the whole meal, which imho should have been his response. [ SECOND VISIT ] However upsetting my experience was, I decided to come back just to see if this is truly how they operate. I returned on Monday, the day after the Superbowl and although the hours on the door suggested they should be open, they were not. STRIKE TWO!!! [ THIRD VISIT ] Came back again the following day on Tuesday and they were indeed open for business. The lady taking my order was different than the one on Saturday and she knocked it out of the park with her customer service. Friendly, informative and made sure I had everything I needed to eat my meal as well as brought a variety of sauces and napkins. I ordered the pork spare ribs, beef ribs at her high recommendation (which were not on the printed menu), and fried catfish plate with a side of french fries. This was far more food than I could eat in one sitting, but I wanted to really give them a chance. The difference in the ribs on this visit verses my first were night and day in every way. I will admit the seasoning was better on my first visit, but everything else about them was good. One customer recommended the habanero sauce and it was a great complement to the PORK RIBS. (3.75 stars) Afraid to try the BEEF BRISKET again, I opted for the BEEF RIB instead. They were tougher and less meaty than I expected, but the bark flavor was good and he added two additional bones, making it much more worthy of the price. (3 stars) Finally, the FRIED CATFISH (3.75 stars). Picture perfect in its golden presentation and meatiness. Could have used a tad more seasoning, so I added a little salt. Otherwise pretty good! The fries were also good. I did not order any drinks or sides (other than the fries that came with the catfish plate) and my total with tax came to around $53 or basically $17 for each meal I got out of my visit. [ VERDICT ] I'm happy that I returned and came away with a better experience than my first. Time will tell me which experience was the real one, since both were completely different. However, I've got a good feeling that first visit was just one of those Murphy's Law days! In the mean time, I will be conservative with my rating until I have a few more visits under my belt (literally). 3 stars overall counting the first visit. Looking forward to trying the shrimp & grits offered on weekends for breakfast.

The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

There's plenty of spacious seating inside, this is an overall place to come study or meet up and talk for a girls afternoon out over matcha or coffee. I also ordered mango matcha and I did not like it very much as it was not sweet at all. The young lady said she could adjust the sweetness. It didn't work for me this time so I'll try it again my next visit and stress that I'd like it sweetened a lot little more than the usual sweetness. UPDATE: Earlier I said I didn't like my Mango Matcha, now I have to change that once I put the straw in my cut and stirred the matcha it was delicious. I didn't realize I shouldn't drink it from the cup without stirring first. I feel so silly now. I changed my four stars to five stars and a newbie like me now will know to stir the matcha first. I received an awards card after ten stamps I believe I get a free item. Sounds fun. Parking is not a problem there's plenty. I can't wait to visit here again.

    VIRAL GA PEACH MILK MATCHA…read more I continue to get messages from local folks saying that they are disappointed in the local Asian food scene... Are they disappointed in the food scene or are they just disappointed that there are no good food accounts to show them the way? Most people have trouble researching local food, I get that. I understand. I have many thoughts on this, especially when your feed is now clogged with foodies that are only money grabbing local businesses and not truly supporting the community and it's innovation. If a businesses doesn't have a "social media marketing budget," that doesn't mean that they don't have life changing food and drinks. You just haven't found them yet, because the business is not willing to pay a model to promote them. A delicious moment is when you realize that OTP Atlanta is a food travel destination. Especially, Gwinnett county. Nothing brings back a specific memory like the flavor of a beloved drink at the coziest bubble tea shop. It is my secret, hidden gem hangout spot. These moments make me question my own origins, where I live, and just like many of you --- how I take Georgia for granted. 1 Peach Milk Matcha Latte - Creamy, delicious and not too sweet. I'm surprised how well the peach flavor pairs with matcha. 2 Yuzu Citrus Drink - Super refreshing and mild citron style drink. This drink is best at 50% sweetness and with crystal boba.

Parking can be a bit confusing as there are some in the front and I believe having some In The back as well! The cute logo stands outside the door and the sign and once you go inside you are greeted by nice staff and a very spacious environment with an inviting ambiance. There was many things to do and keep yourself entertained such as board games, arcade games, claw games and tons of comfy seating. This place is perfect to hang out with friends. I ordered a Thai tea latte with oat milk and got tapioca pearls. They do charge you $1 for milk substitute and the tapioca will be 0.90 so be aware. The barista took his time allowing me to figure out what to order but also creating my drinks from scratch. He helped me out and gave me a bag to hold my drinks together. The drink itself was okay. It tasted a bit off as far as flavor wise but the tapioca was fresh. Thai tea was a bit too milky and almost as if powder hasn't fully dissolved. I think I will try a different drink next time as I wasn't too much of a fan. The service and environment is what sold me so I will be back!
