Owens & Hull in Smyrna, GA, has garnered attention for its authentic Southern Texas barbecue…read moreexperience in Georgia. They even made the top 3 list of BBQ places to eat in the US. 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. The employees are always courteous and helpful with knowledgeable recommendations. The ambience is casual and laid-back, giving it the perfect neighborhood BBQ joint vibe. 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 tried the pork sausage sandwich, and while it was "fine," it was seasoned with the intensity of a gentle breeze. The bun selection was non-existent, and the one I got had a mid-life crisis and completely fell apart halfway through. Between the bland meat and the crumbly bread, I was basically eating a puzzle I didn't want to solve. To top it off, finding a napkin was harder than finding a seat. The only hero of the day was the rib sample. Those ribs were actually decent--tender, flavorful, and unlike my sandwich, they actually stayed together. Come for the ribs, but bring your own bun--and maybe a folding chair and a roll of paper towels.

It's a nice change from the commercial restaurants that have skinny not meaty barbecues like TDT.! I had never bought a full slab before, but I'm glad I did! I got to take it and share it with my friends who are now going to TDT as as frequent customers! It's a bit far from my home, but it's well worth the drive! It's always a special treat to get the ribs or barbecue and their peach cobbler is to die for! I got a vegetable platter so that I could share that as well!

We got a table for all of us and you order at the counter then they bring the food to your table.

The sandwich was so good and all the sauces were delish but the Mac and cheese and the bread pudding were the star. You could tell those have a lot of work to them. My only complaint is price.

On Friday, I pre ordered some brisket, pork, mac n chee, beans , and yes, fried okra. I picked it up Sunday (moms day) at noon.

When the young lady finally arrived, her demeanor was extremely casual and unprofessional--almost as if she were at home rather than at work. Since I've been to this restaurant before, I knew exactly what I wanted: the half chicken dinner and, most importantly, the muffins, which I emphasized were the main reason for my visit. About seven minutes later, the server returned with the muffins, but they were cold tasted straight out of the cooler. I flagged her down and explained the issue, asking for a replacement and how long it would take since I wanted them before my meal. Her response was dismissive: "What do you mean how long? I don't know." A better answer would have been something like, "I'll check and get them to you as soon as possible." Instead, she said, "It'll probably be a minute." When I expressed frustration, she added, "It will take some time." Ten minutes later, she returned with bad news--they were out of chicken. At that point, I simply said oaky and left. This is not my first time experiencing poor service at this location, and I blame myself for returning. The constant turnover of managers and staff seems to be the root cause of these ongoing issues. Don't visit is my review.

I was having guest over and didn't have time to cook so I wanted to treat them to local BBQ. I explained this to the gentleman taking orders (turns out he was the owners brother) and he notified me of a family meal that I didn't see on the menu. The family meal is 2 half chickens and two large sides. Perfect, I added a lb of rib tips, two extra sides, and corn bread and it was perfect for my little gathering, The food was decent. The rib tips and smoked chicken had a good smoked flavor but not much season beyond that. But the house BBQ sauce was so good to dip the meats into, I like that the sauce is served on the side. Personally, I prefer well seasoned smoke meats. This was not that but the meat and sauce together was a delicious combo. Even my toddler son who likes to eat but is particular with meats ate it up and asked for more. My guest also enjoyed the meal too. Our sides were Mac and cheese, green beans, potato salad, and honey cornbread. I loved the cornbread and green beans. The green beans tasted fresh and were very well seasoned and cooked down in a rich broth. The cornbread was crumby but it had such a good sweet and corny flavor.

Upon entering the store, I was disappointed that you can't see the food. It's not like a cafeteria with the food warming up front. Decided on the baked chicken plate that comes with rice and two sides. Added a drink - the mango lemonade. All for about $18 plus tax. They only have banana pudding for dessert. Was looking forward to peach cobbler or cakes even. Service counter was pleasant and worked quickly as more customers arrived. The restaurant is a takeout but they have a grass wall for photo opportunities on the Gram. The food: The chicken quarter was seasoned well and tasty. The rice was a bit under cooked and tough. The green beans were done with lots of garlic and sautéed. I liked it but I could see how my son didn't. The macaroni and cheese was underwhelming. There was no seasoning or flavor. It tasted smoky and a bit chalky. The mango lemonade was a hit. Overall, I'd try other plates like the salmon and the Soul Roll. Glad to have some other comfort food options in Cobb as well.
