    Okay! I just have to tell you how EXCITED I am! I was driving past BBQ Masters today and realized it was open. Though I was heading to another restaurant I instantly changed my plans and pulled into the parking lot. I promise you, I have been wanting to eat here for months and I could never catch them open. Well, thank you to the Foodie Fairy Godmother who was on my side today. LoL. Walking in, the location is very clean and has a simple design. Walking up to the counter I was pleasantly surprised as I noticed that there's no staff, nope. You go up to the tablet and place your order. Yessssssssssss!!! I love self-serve kiosks. As I scrolled through the selections, the food pictures had me excited. I decided on the Half-Slab Plate with Beans and Collards as my sides. Once my order was ready, the chef himself came out, called my name, and delivered my plate. Let me say this, the visual presentation alone increased my hunger by 100,000. LoL!!!! Let's talk about food! The ribs were tender and juicy. They were well seasoned and falling off the bone. Oh my gosh. I had the sauce put on my meat and I am so happy I did. The sauce was a perfect pairing to the meat. The smokiness of the meat and the creamy medium blend of the sauce. As one who enjoys good BBQ, these ribs melt on my tongue and soothe my entire soul. Oh yes, this is a half rack done RIGHT!!!!! The beans were smooth, not too sweet, not too spicy, simple ingredients which allows for the natural bean flavor to remain prominent. Also, as the beans aren't overrun by added sauce or spices they go well with the ribs as a side. The collards hit the spot. Ok, listen. They were tender, yet had a slight veggie crunch to them. They weren't over seasoned. Nor were they over saturated in vinegar. You can tell that these greens aren't out of a can. These are fresh greens, cut with love, and cooked with an understanding of what a good green should be. Lastly, the Garlic Bread. Yep. There's a slice of Texas Toast Garlic Bread that comes with the plate. It is soft on one side and perfectly grilled on the other. The level of garlic is spot on to enhance the flavor of the entire plate as a whole. Listen, this bread addition was decided based on the understanding of BBQ. Whoever added this to the plate understood the palate enough to understand what it takes to please the taste buds. It goes without saying that I will be back. For the way this food tastes, I will happily continue to play cat and mouse to catch BBQ Masters when they are open.

    The Mac and cheese is disgusting, I would make for you and promise a 10/10. Bake beans 9/10. Rib sauce has garlic in it, that's a big no from a country girl. I need fries to return to menu cause vegetables suck. I use to frequent Stockbridge, food better. First and last here

The restaurant has a laid back vibe, perfect for families and groups. There is plenty of space for even larger groups and I noticed a number of business people enjoying the setup. The pulled pork are standout items, known for their tenderness and rich flavors. The smoking process appears to be a point of pride, with many customers noting the perfect level of smokiness. 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. Whether you're a local or just passing through Smyrna, it's a spot worth visiting for barbecue lovers.

Hands down the best brisket I've had in Atlanta -- consistently tender, packed with flavor, and perfectly seasoned. It's so good it honestly doesn't even need sauce, but the sauce is an excellent finishing touch that takes it over the top.

Even though the location is a bit off the beaten path, it's absolutely worth the trip. If you're serious about great BBQ, this place should be on your list.

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. If you get anything though, make sure it's the mac and cheese. It was so good -- creamy, flavorful, and easily a standout side. I also appreciate the ordering setup. You order and pay upfront, then receive your food. I personally prefer this style of dining because once you're done, you can just get up and go instead of waiting around for the check. Parking is available in the back or on the street, which makes it convenient. I can only speak for the smoked wings -- and they were GOOD.

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.

Ample indoor and outdoor seating options cater to different preferences, enhancing the dining experience. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the ribs, which is cooked low and slow, ensuring tenderness and flavor. The meat is incredibly juicy, with a perfect smoky finish. 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. Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ is a celebration of authentic Southern BBQ. With its expertly prepared meats, flavorful sides, and inviting atmosphere, it's a place that BBQ lovers will want to revisit. Whether you're a local or just passing through Atlanta, this spot should definitely be on your culinary radar.

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. You feel like you're in the right place. This is not hype. This is execution. 5 out of 5. I walked in curious. I left impressed. I will be back.

I followed up by email. They applied the discount but didn't readjust the tax or tip. I followed up with them twice and they ignored my email. They are keeping money that they wouldn't be entitled to has the waitstaff totaled the bill correctly. I also ordered a beer that was not on the menu. It was $12. The waiter should have told me about that when I ordered. Skip this place.
