Coworker brought me by for lunch. They claim to be a bbq place but being from Texas I am not sure I sae much bbq. They have a large menu and I saw folks eating pulled pork sandwiches, but I didn't see any real BBQ. I had the smothered steak, which was good. Tasted like Salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, baked beans and an apple cobbler for lunch. My coworker had the pulled pork with fries. It was all really good and best part, for both of us and a $5 tip cost less than $30 bucks. Its worth the stop and don't let the cover of the book fool ya. They can cook. read more

My friend had been here once before and wanted to go back. I knew the second we pulled in the driveway I was in for some good old southern comfort cooking. Old school cooking and dining experience eating with the locals. I wasn't at all surprised that the biscuits were great but I was pleasantly surprised to find they are probably the best biscuits I've ever had. Piping hot, dense and flaky (which seems like a feat in itself), buttery and melted in my mouth. I wish I'd only had biscuits for my meal. LOL Everything else was great...grits and cheese, eggs, hash browns, hotcakes, sausage. But the biscuits were phenomenal. read more

It was one of those days that I had to have some bbq and I wanted to try somewhere new. After performing my Yelp "Cheap Eats" search, I landed upon Barbecue Kitchen. As eating on a budget has become a topic of conversation, I was excited to see the "Cheap Eats" search work in real time. As Barbecue Kitchen provides a robust menu with great pricing, it was an easy decision to head on over for date night. Arriving at Barbecue Kitchen I was excited to see that they have their own parking lot. As Barbecue Kitchen sits right on the main road, it was super easy to find and parking was in abundance. Walking in, Barbecue Kitchen has a homely feel and the classic interior design of a down home barbecue spot. The staff greeted us with a smile and as we were dining in, they advised us to sit anywhere we would like. Once at our booth of choice, the waitress arrived and further greeted us. She flashed her smile, provided us menus and went over what the specials for the day were. I decided to do Sweet Tea for my drink along with the Rib Tips Dinner Plate with Sweet Potato Soufflé, Baked Beans, Dressing and Gravy, and Cornbread. The Sweet Tea was delivered and it was amazing. Home brewed. Sweetened to perfection. Perfect ice to tea ratio and a robust tea flavor profile. This was that good tea bag. lol. The food arrived without too long of a wait and everything looked like it was made true cookout style. Upon saying grace, it was time to eat! Rib Tips - Meaty. Tender. Bland flavor profile. The sauce brings the flavor. If you aren't a sauce eater, I suggest you stay away from this option as you must have the sauce to have any flavor. However, the meat was moist and smoked to perfection. Sweet Potato Souffle - Good portion. Lacked a robust flavor spotlight. The potato's natural flavor dominated the dish. If you love sweet potatoes, you will love this dish. If you desire the more sweet flavor profile, this isn't it. Baked Beans - Made with bacon. Hint of sweetness. Overall good. Dressing and Gravy - Good portion. No flavor. Dressing was bland. Gravy was bland. As a pair it was double bland. Cornbread - If you are a lover of hot water cornbread, this is for you as it spotlights the natural corn flavor with no added sweetness. Overall, the Barbecue Kitchen was a moderate experience. The service was amazing. The food was sub-par. The pricing is budget friendly. read more

Hole in the wall BBQ spot. They have huge tables so if you're there with family and friends you will all fit! This joint is a bit off the beaten path but depending on your taste buds you might be thankful. They offer breakfast and BBQ early in the morning. Our mouths encountered ribs, collared greens, pancakes, grits, oatmeal and fried catfish at 10am! The collared greens were by far my favorite! Homemade everything including the syrup. The service is like going to your auntie's house. They do not offer anything that's not already on the menu. read more

Hi, i live walking distance from the restaurant. Most of the ladies up front are nice but I am sick and tried of the cook messing my order up after being told to separate my GREENS from the OKRA and MASHED POTATOES. It's very unprofessional to make someone oder after placing and order after mime. I think people need to take customer service skills Do better PLEASE! Very close to loosing my business. read more

It's rare to find these kind of places anymore. Had a morning flight and we decided to stop by for some truly authentic southern food. Service was wonderful and food came out delicious and quickly. You can see why this place was busy - when you come here you feel at home and know that the food will be made with love. (Not to mention - we got a ton of food and the bill was inexpensive) Highly, highly recommend, especially if you are heading to the airport. They have early morning hours and much better than the airport food by far! read more

Could not ask for a friendlier staff. Rustic true bbq restaurant feel. Several of the side items are only available certain days. I got sweet tea that was excellent. Pulled pork that unfortunately was on the dry side. Collard greens were spot on, fried okra was good but not homemade and topped it all off with the best part of the meal, sweet potato souffle which had raisins in it. read more

Solid, old-school meat and three. I particularly like the sweet potato soufflé, broccoli-rice-cheese casserole, and mac-n-cheese. The corn bread is not dry. BBQ is decent. Drinks are large. Waitresses were great every time I went. Good food- nuthin' fancy. read more

Excellent Rib tips and brisket, went to College Park for the first time in 20 years, I will be back

While visiting I wanted to try some good down home southern cooking and thought to myself, "this place is it!". Upon entering we were barely greeted by one of the servers who told us to seat ourselves anywhere. Ambience was cool with that old southern divey feel. Our server took her time getting to us and was not very friendly nor did she check up on us very often (what happened to southern hospitality?). We started off with a complimentary order of corn bread. I ordered the two fried chicken breast special with three sides (squash casserole, greens, and mashed with gravy) & my friend ordered the pork and brisket special with beans, some kind of stew, and coleslaw. Portions were very generous and the prices were very reasonable but the taste was very bland! I had to add barbecue sauce to my fried chicken to give it some flavor and some hot sauce to the greens. The mashed potatoes were the worst as they had no salt and no pepper. The squash casserole tasted as if scrambled eggs were mixed in with it and watery as well. We were gonna order banana pudding for dessert but decided to skip it. Aside from the food not being tasty, we didn't feel welcomed there as both our server was very cold and the cashier said not one word to us. Very disappointing experience all the way around. read more

Worst biscuits I have ever had. Maybe it was just today . It's been years since I've been here. They all went in the trash.

I didn't not enjoy my experience. The best part was the waitress. She was pleasant and attentive. The orange juice taste like cardboard. Everything else is out of the soda fountain or a coffee pot. They look like they would have homemade lemonade but they don't. They only offer sliced American cheese. No cheddar. The pancakes tasted cheap and worse than boxed mix. My husband got a sausage, egg and cheese sandwich and they forgot the cheese. Our food did come out hot but I won't be back for breakfast. Their lunch options looked better so maybe I'll try that if I return. read more

This is a nice family establishment with a family feel to it. I felt like i was eating at my aunties house for Sunday Dinner. I loved the amount of food they give you, but the rin tips were a tad bit dry. The sides were definitely the best part of the meal. The Service was great! Our server was friendly quick and extremely nice. I wull definitely try this again, because they have different menus daily. I love that. read more

The name of the establishment intrigued me enough so I ordered it via food delivery app. I requested condiments, literally said "any condiment" and didn't get any, so I was left eating some rather dry sandwiches. The country fried steak sandwich tasted really good but it's just bread and a fried piece of steak, nothing impressive. The brisket was decent and the smoked sausage is avoidable. read more

I tried to find a new bbq place today because I felt like ribs. My order was placed and I waited about 15 mins before being told they were out of ribs. So I substituted for rib tips. When I got to my car and took at look at the rib tips, I looked at it like ....wth is this. I guess this must be a new take on tips. Because I wanted ribs, I went to Hattie Bs. Back to this place. On top of that disappointment, I was got a Sweet Potatoe pie. I opened the pie wrapping and lo and behold , MOLD ON THE PIE. OMG. NEVER AGAIN. I'm done!!! read more

Went in around 2pm on Father's Day and was able to get a table right away. Just like other reviews I agree that the food could use a little seasoning, but adding your own salt and pepper will do just fine. Salmon patty was good, I'll get it separately without the sandwich and mix it into the bowl of grits next time. Turkey sausage sandwich was good, I recommend adding a scrambled egg, cheese and some jelly to go with it. Got all this for less than $25 so I think it's well worth it. Come here if you want a lot for a little bit, definitely left satisfied. Giving it 3 stars because this somewhere I can come for a guaranteed meal, but I wouldnt rush to recommend or take somebody here if I wanted to give them an experience. read more

I don't know how this store stays open, the food is definitely not what it used to be to be. The food is usually overcooked, and is it's fried ( like fish) it all batter. The wait staff is usually pretty but why would send burnt broccoli and rice or okra and tomatoes to the point they were black. read more

I've been to ATL multiple times and I never knew this place existed. I have to say it was really good all the home cooked vegetables you could imagine. I really wanted some good vegetables and I got just what I needed okra, corn, & tomatoes, smothered squash and onions, black eyed peas, cornbread, and fried chicken wings and some turkey salad for later. Even the ice tea was delicious. I will definitely be going back. It was clean and everyone was nice and friendly. Great Food and Customer Service!!! read more

I love coming down to the airport and finding little gems. The BBQ Kitchen is one of these. Got the pork Plate, served with baked beans, stew and coleslaw with a side of cornbread muffins. The Good; The shredded Pork is very moist and quite tasty. I wish the sauce would have been on the side, but not that big of a deal. The stew is a traditional Brunswick Stew, nothing out of the ordinary here. It's even better with the cornbread The coleslaw is great, not too "mayonnaisey" The not so good; The Baked Beans has fresh bell pepper, but could definitely use a little more time for all the flavors to meld together. The sauce is good, but as I said before, would prefer it on the side. Overall, you will be happy with the pork here. Generous portions and great flavor. read more

To say this food is garbage would be an insult to garbage. Chicken livers were burned, tuff and unseasoned. But at least they perfectly matched the disgusting sides. Mushy rutabagas, half cooked fried okra and lumpy nasty mashed potatoes. A definite Do Not Eat Here for me. read more

I saw the menu and walked over from my hotel and found a very old restaurant, so...I had some high hopes! I ordered the 1 item plate with 3 vegetables and a side of rib tips. The fried fish was ok, mashed potatoes and gravy was bland, cream corn was bland, greens were mediocre, cornbread was dry, and rib tips were horrible...... the sauce was too vinegary and tips were so hard and dry, it was like eating beef jerky. My $28 would have been better spent at KFC...I was quite disappointed. The only thing that was good was the carrot cake and the buttermilk coconut pie. read more

I used to come here for lunch once in a while but not anymore because of the prejudice staff. The food is okay but the service is lacking. The peach cobbler is probably the best thing they sell but poor service is why I would stay away from here.

My wife and I went to this restaurant on April 20, 2025 for lunch after church. My wife ordered the bbq ribs tips and I ordered the 1/2 smoked chicken. The rib tips were cooked too hard, the chicken was quite bland. The veggies were not favorable and bland. My wife ordered the banana pudding and said that was not good either. We told our waitress and asked for the manager. She came back to say that the manager said that she was too busy to come out to see us. WHAT!!!! We did see the manager because she was working the register. I told her that the food was bad AND the fact that she would not come see us was totally unacceptable. WE WILL NEVER EAT AT THIS PLACE EVER AGAIN. We did give the waitress a tip for her service. read more

I was here just a few weeks ago. The restaurant needs some serious work; the electrical box on the outside looks like a fire waiting to happen, and the intake vent over the front counter in the dining room is nasty. If I had seen that when I came in, I would have left. The back room smells weird. I ordered one catfish filet, mashed potatoes, and fried okra. The potatoes were instant and absolutely tasteless. The okra was overcooked. The fish was fine but needed seasoning. The peach cobbler was pretty good. The service was fair. The room was hot and noisy. read more

I had been living in the College Park neighborhood for 8 years before I ever visited Barbecue Kitchen. Big Mistake. I am not a fan of chain restaurants. I love family owned, no name, hole in the wall type of places to eat because honestly they have some of the best food. Now I'm not saying that to down Barbecue Kitchen at all. I have always received a decent meal at a good price with some nice customer service here. I came over here one Saturday because I was starving and wanted a decent breakfast. It didn't disappoint. I had a western omelet. As soon as I stuck my fork in it I knew it was gonna be a blast. The ham in the omelet was real ham. Not thin deli ham but the kind of ham that is cut off a ham bone. OMG. So freaking good. Our waitress was the absolute friendliest, nicest person ever. I hate that I can't remember her name but she is a doll. I heard that the family that owned it for close to 50 years finally sold it due to illness but the new owners have to keep it the same. So far so good. One good thing they did was start taking credit/debit cards. Praise the Lord because before they were strictly cash. Give these folks a shot. read more

I happened to be visiting Atlanta last week for a backgammon tournament (Yes I said it..backgammon...don't judge me. It's a lot of fun and great competition). I get in town early Thursday morning for an early tournament (to which I got my butt kicked by a 67 year old lady from Canada). Since I had some time and was hungry, I asked the staff where I could get something to eat. They all say go to Barbeque Chicken down the street on Virginia. 'Barbeque Chicken for breakfast I'm thinking'.... Nonetheless, I was game for anything so off I went for the 1/4 mile walk down from the Sonesta. Barbeque Chicken is a hole-in-the-wall set back restaurant that clearly needs an HVAC rehaul....but don't let that keep you from going. Yes, you will percolate while sitting there, but DAMN IS THAT FOOD GOOD. I go in and sit down near the window so I can see everyone coming and going (you can take the boy out of Phildelphia, but never Philadelphia out of the boy). I review the menu and I was feeling a little greedy so I ordered the catfish, pancakes, bacon, cheesy grits, coffee, and juice. I must have been hungry as everything was really good. Even better surprise at the end was the bill. I got a ton of food and coffee and juice and the bill was only $15....yippee for me If you have a chance to get to Barbeque Chicken (even for breakfast) GO. The food was good, the service was good, and the cost was great....just wear shorts and flip flops because you will be sweating while you're there. read more
