    Super dried out sliced  brisket
    Bobby B.

    The brisket was super dried up inedible to be honest super surprised have visited for years upon visiting ga . The fries fresh hand cut and still awesome the soda taste great and Mac n cheese was good but due to the brisket being so bad I cannot give more than one star

    Pulled Pork, ribs, corn fritters, French Fries, Texas toast

    Bub-Ba-Q is the standard for BBQ. The bar is high for bbq in Ga, and it's set here. When you walk in to the restaurant you see all the awards they have been won by this establishment and your eyes are raised and expectations set. You can get your full of all your bbq favorites, but the ribs are my go to option. You absolutely have to order the corn fritters if you have a chance. Imagine if you will, deep fried cream corn. It gets my taste buds salivating just thinking about it. They have many different sauces to apply to your meats, but I love the sweet sauce. You eyes can end up being bigger then your stomach, but that just means wonderful leftovers for later at home.

    Bub-ba-q was a truly major disappointment. I probably would have given it 1 star, but the waitress was excellent & pleasant, & that is worth something. I ordered a brisket sandwich & a side of baked beans. In addition, my friend ordered a bunch of ribs & shared them with me. The brisket seemed to be very low quality. It was a lot of fat & only a little bit of true meat. Its flavor was lacking, & so the sandwich seemed like a complete waste of $10. Meanwhile the baked beans tasted like an overdose of black pepper. And lastly the ribs. All I can say is that my friend & I found them boring. I just looked up Yelp reviews from this past year, & it seems like our observations are in line with others. It sounds like years ago The food was so much better, but in the past year it has spiraled downward.

    We went with the family on Wednesday Wing night, and boy do they have good wings. They're smoked first, then fried, then dressed with your choice of sauce or dry rub. The meat easily pulls off the bones, is succulent on the inside and crispy on the outside. Our server was young but extremely polite and attentive. Inside the restaurant is tidy and clean with lots of BBQ competition awards, although it's a bit odd to have the entryway with a guiding wall (like at a counter order restaurant) when it's tableside service. We will definitely be back, as this is our new spot for wings.

    My mom and I were in Dunwoody and craving bbq…read more This place had high ratings on both Yelp and Google and was 26 minutes away on a Friday during rush hour. We entered and at first I was concerned because there were only two people in the restaurant. We ordered and received our food quickly and from the first bite of brisket I was hooked!!! We had the collards, mac & cheese, baked beans and Brunswick Stew. I was not happy with the Brunswick Stew but I'm hard to please on that item. I haven't had good batch in years. The people that know how to prepare it properly don't work in restaurants. Was charged $1 for two extra slices of bread. Uhhhhh really...it's bbq! Another drawback for me was the young lady working the register was pulling at the skin on her lips and I remember thinking oh lord she has her hands on her mouth, the register, the phone and everything else. I realize some people have nervous tendencies and try not to be too obnoxious when dining out but I sure miss the days of face masks and gloves. While we ate more and more people came in and when we left there was six people dining in, multiple pick up order, so it's a steady flow of people. The condiments station was neat and tidy. The restaurant itself is decorated with cute signage and quotes which lead to a relaxing environment. I grabbed a catering menu as I was leaving because everything was so delicious I have to convince my employer to treat us to bbq this summer. You can't go wrong with the strawberry lemonade.

    Big Easy BBQ - Do Not Waste Your Money or Time Eating Here A…read morefew days ago, I watched a well-known BBQ show that offered a simple rule: if there's no smoke coming from a BBQ restaurant, keep driving. Today, I ignored that advice and regretted it. A friend and I decided to try Big Easy BBQ for lunch instead of visiting one of our usual favorites. After reading positive reviews, we drove more than 30 minutes to see what the hype was about. The first warning sign was the nearly empty dining room at lunchtime. The second was the complete lack of that unmistakable BBQ aroma. Despite both red flags, we stayed. My friend ordered the St. Louis ribs with sides, and I ordered the half chicken with two sides. When I noticed he had barely touched his ribs, he handed me a piece to try. The meat was tough, dry, and tasted as though it had been cooked well in advance and reheated. Unfortunately, my chicken was no better. It also seemed old and reheated rather than freshly prepared. For sides, I chose dirty rice and Cajun BBQ beans. Neither tasted particularly fresh. The dirty rice was acceptable at first but quickly lost its appeal, while the beans were merely average. Having lived in New Orleans for five years, I know what good Cajun and BBQ-inspired food should taste like. This wasn't it. The highlights of the meal were my iced tea and my friend's French fries. Service was equally disappointing. The server checked on us only in passing and showed little interest in our experience. When we requested takeout boxes for the food we barely ate, there was no inquiry about why our meals were largely untouched. We both took our leftovers home, though neither of us was enthusiastic about them. The lesson here is simple: online reviews should never outweigh what your eyes, nose, and instincts are telling you. A busy dining room, the smell of smoke, and trusted recommendations are often better indicators than a collection of glowing ratings. As a final note, my friend and I normally pay separately, but I felt responsible for suggesting this restaurant and paid for both meals. If paying for two disappointing lunches taught me anything, it's this: save your time and money, and eat somewhere else.
