    BEST fries I've had in a while
    Julia C.

    This is a SPECIAL spot! 1000% worth a drive-- even if out of your way, for some of the BEST BBQ in town. This is a fabulous local-family-run spot! The portions and prices are SO generous!!! The flavors and service are perfection. Unfortunately the smell and servings inside were SO compelling upon arrival, that we couldn't help but order WAYYY too much food! We filled our stomachs to the brim and STILL left with two FULL to-go boxes. It's hard to say what meat was the best, bc each one was better than the next! All I CAN say though is that Im already looking forward to coming back, and I hope this place becomes a staple of the community for years to come.

    Hello friends! The wife and I stopped in here on 12/11/25 for an early dinner. Place is cool, music is a little loud though. We got the 3 meat plate with smoked chicken, smoked wings and ribs. The smoked chicken was dry but had a good flavor. Ribs were tasty and smoked well. Mac and cheese was ok not good but not bad either. Baked beans were ok. They were out of brisket at 5:30 pm. Experience was just ok yall if I'm on this side of town I might go back to try the brisket. Meanwhile the server Alicia was attentive and on the ball. I'll go back yall. Give them a try!

    Good ambiance and friendly staff. Only negative is parking in trying to locate. Went for lunch during the week so not as crowded. Immediate seated and great service. Server explained menu and recommended favorites. Nice full bar and music or TV's for whatever you like. Went simple with pulled chicken and nachos. Will go back in trying out the sides.

    First time visiting on 11-15-2025. My brother drove us here. I've been looking at the page on IG. Food looks good on line and taste better in person. My brother got a 3 piece wings with a potato salad and a beef rib. I got a brisket jalapeno sausage and a beef rib. The sausage is delicious just a little spicy with the jalapeno it really creeps up on you I was given a slice of bread and some pickles. Me and my brother ate that in the car. I got to taste one of his wings it was good. We were given the mustard sauce and the other sauce. The beef rib is delicious juicy. I took a picture of the place after you enter the door and look forward so you can see how spacious and nice this place really is. Pull up and support check them out you be glad that you did. Definitely worth the trip.

    This is our new bbq go to spot. The atmosphere is great and the staff is super friendly. I love everything on the menu. They haven't missed yet. I got the loaded fries appetizer as a meal. (It's a big plate). They have a full bar and plenty of seating. We love coming here on sundays to watch football

    Went here for lunch its walkable distance from my friend's house. The vibe was nice great music playlist decent crowd for the time of day. We all got the drink special very good. I wanted to try the wings but they were not available. So I went with the two meat platter and got chicken sausage and bbq chicken. My friend got the burger said it was delicious. Our server was very friendly offered us her advice on what to order. The only thing that could have been better was the Mac and cheese. I like my Mac and cheese a little more baked. Overall I would definitely go back again when I visit my friend!

    1/2 chicken served with 2 pieces of white bread! Perfection

    Lovely spot! A friend took me here as he has known the proprietor, Ron, for many years and I was seriously excited to check it out. It def lived up to my expectations-in fact it exceeded them. Amazing vibes, food, music, people, service. I had the 1/2 chicken and he had the ribs. Both were delicious! You have the option of 2 sauces, a golden and one that is more traditional but my friend suggested I mix the two and he did not lead me astray. I can't wait to come back to try the sides, the wings, the burger, the catfish nuggets.... You get the point lol!!! Yay!

    Ribs: unforgettable. Coming from California it's rare to have bbq this memorable. I was recommended the ribs as one of my meat choices. I got the 3 meats. 2 smoked ribs, smoked chicken, and smoked chicken sausage. My favorite was the ribs 100%. The smoked chicken and sausage were still very tasty but the ribs left a lasting impression. The meat was exquisitely fall off the bone juicy, even the fat was delicious! Needless to say, all that was left on my plate was bones. The sides Mac n cheese and the fries were a nice pair w the meats. The Mac n cheese was so good! You Gotta get it!

I also had the smoked cheeseburger which I highly recommend. Sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans complement the meats well. The mac and cheese, in particular, receives rave reviews for its creamy texture. Owens & Hull BBQ stands out for its commitment to quality barbecue in a welcoming environment.

I would have liked to see a few more BBQ sauce options, as I wasn't crazy about the ones offered. A little more variety there would take it up a notch.

Don't get me wrong, I love Mexican food, but if I'm going to eat it, I'm going somewhere authentic. Putting the words "Tex Mex" on your menu and serving everything with tortillas doesn't make your food authentic. In addition, the portions are smaller. The prices are comparatively higher, and the quality is much worse. The staff is very friendly and helpful, but that can't makeup for the mediocre food. This was a disappointing visit. I won't be back.

Also, the smoked chicken wings are a must try. It is also one of the last places you can get them in Atlanta that I have seen. The sauces are amazing but remember this is not Texas BBQ. This is South Carolina so the sauces are more vinegar based. Orders are taken promptly and soon as you walk in, and food is served in a timely manner, making it convenient even during busy hours.

Impeccable. The server knew the menu inside out. Every recommendation landed exactly where it needed to. That sets the tone. You trust the kitchen before the food even hits the table. That matters. Now let's talk reality. This place is stepping into the ring with Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. And here's the difference. I walked in. Sat down. No 40 minute wait. No chaos. Just straight to business. That alone earns respect. Appetizers first. Cornbread. A surprise. Slightly sweet, balanced, not dry. I expected average. I got better. 4 out of 5. Then the Wu-Tang wings. This is where things changed. 10 out of 10. No hesitation. Perfect heat. A sweet edge that hits first, then the spice builds without overwhelming. Crisp outside, juicy inside. Dip it in ranch or blue cheese and it elevates even further. This is the kind of dish you think about the next day. Pimento cheese wontons. 5 out of 5. Crunch on the outside. Rich, creamy, sharp flavor inside. No shortcuts here. Every bite is deliberate. Now the mains. Brisket. Tender, properly smoked, clean bark, fat rendered right. No dryness, no shortcuts. Ribs. Balanced, flavorful, cooked with precision. No falling apart mess. They hold structure, which tells you everything about technique. And yes, we ran the wings back again. That says enough. One miss on the table. Bulgogi salad. 3 out of 5. Not bad. Not memorable. When everything else hits this hard, average stands out. Ambience is dialed in. Casual but intentional. You feel comfortable.

Every visit seems to involve a bit of a wait, but the smoked meats are usually worth the patience. This time I ordered the brisket chili, pulled smoked chicken, and green beans. The pulled smoked chicken was tender, flavorful, and exactly what you want from good barbecue. The green beans were also really solid and had that comforting, slow-cooked taste. The brisket chili, though, could use some work. It sounds amazing on the menu, which is honestly why I've ordered it more than once, hoping it would hit differently the next time. Unfortunately, I've been disappointed each time. It's not very filling and just doesn't deliver the rich, hearty flavor you'd expect from something called brisket chili. The atmosphere at Chattahoochee Foodworks is still a plus. Especially if you're sitting outside, it's casual, lively, and a good spot to hang out and grab a meal with friends.
