The food wasn't the best of the four, but it was solid, and combined with the whole experience that included great service and a great atmosphere, I really enjoyed Fox Bros. I normally don't order chicken when I get bbq but it seemed like so many reviews commented about their chicken so I picked wings for one of my options for my 4 meat plate. The wings here are really good. The sausage, ribs, and brisket were all great as well. There's not a ton of smoke flavor to the meat, especially the brisket, but it was there. The sides were pretty good as well.

Fat Matt's Rib Shack

Atlanta has very few traditions left, caught as it is under the churn of constant change of…read morebusinesses, including restaurants. One of the more enduring has been Fat Matt's Rib Shack, located north of Piedmont Park in an old donut shop. This place is not without controversy, though, as it technically cannot be called a barbecue joint proper due to the different way their meats are prepared. Charcoal takes the place of the orthodox hickory logs here, and for some, that is a disqualification from serious consideration. I say, (expletive) that prissy purism and enjoy some ribs! Think about it: Memphis' Charles Vergos' Rendezvous also uses charcoal, and some people think their ribs are among the best on earth. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. I was so determined to get to Fat Matt's on a recent trip that I sat in traffic and went via detours to the establishment, well out of my way to my ultimate destination. It was worth the aggravation. For about $20-25, one can have a good-sized dinner of charcoal-and-sauce ribs, a side item, and a beverage. The ribs are grilled a slab at a time, slathered in Fat Matt's trademark hot-ish sauce, first to get it cooked, then to finish it when you order. Since I came at an off hour, I got my food pretty quickly. And it did not disappoint. These spares are meaty enough to give a good chew (NOT "fall off the bone" soft like some others), suffused with the sauce. But if that's not enough for you, a small cup of additional sauce is provided with each order. Round that out with sides such as collard greens (my choice), macaroni and cheese, rum-spiked baked beans, and Brunswick stew, along with a couple slices of white bread for sopping (or sandwiches, if one has the patience for it) and a beer or iced tea or Coke, and you have a memorable meal. But that's only half the charm of Fat Matt's. For at night, the place doubles as a blues music club, featuring local talent. Memorabilia and assorted ephemera from that genre of music adorn the walls of the establishment. Most noteworthy is a mural rendition of Mount Rushmore with faces of prominent bluesmen etched into the drawing. That provides the backdrop for a small stage where guitarists, keyboardists, bassists, and drummers hone their chops each and every night, providing an added attraction to the food. It is one of only three in-town blues clubs that are well-known to the larger public. The place is small, and parking can be pretty scarce, so arrive early if you can. Since the music starts early, you won't miss a whole lot if you do not come out or stay late. This is perfect for people 30 and over who don't have the energy to hang out all night.

Before we even ordered he let us try a few different things and every single thing he handed us was delicious. By the time I actually ordered I would've trusted this man with my finances.

This is a real restaurant--with great service, great atmosphere, and, most importantly, GREAT food. We showed up around 12:50 on a Saturday afternoon, and I had my favorite lunch partner with me--my wifey--which made discovering this place even better. It wasn't very crowded yet, but the smell when we walked in was hypnotic. Smoked meats, BBQ, and all those incredible sides hitting you at once. The space itself is really nice, too, with huge windows and a great view. Then, while we were eating, the crowd started building both at the attached brewery and inside the restaurant.

Since I'd already eaten and was only planning to taste, and my husband wasn't super hungry either, we decided to pop in for that. There were only a couple of other small groups of people in the front dining space, so it was nice and quiet and there was plenty of available seating. My husband placed an order for the nachos with chicken and kale caesar salad. The food came out pretty quickly. The chicken on the nachos felt a little dry, but it was decent and the serving was actually bigger than we'd anticipated for a happy hour special. We enjoyed the kale caesar more. The pepitas and guacamole were a nice touch. The only thing I have to mention is that the guy taking our order at the bar literally never said a word to us besides the price when it was time to pay. All we got was a head nod or an "mhmm" whenever we asked a question. When we were leaving, he was chilling behind the bar and didn't acknowledge us even though there were people who'd been there before us who we'd heard him speaking to, and when they left they got a, "Thanks guys.

My first visit to Sweet Auburn BBQ was long overdue, and I honestly left wondering why it took me…read moreso long to make it there. What initially brought me in was Atlanta Burger Week, and I ordered their featured burger to take advantage of the special. While the burger was good, the real star of the meal was the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket. It was absolutely fantastic. The brisket was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. The fried rice itself was packed with flavor and had such a unique, smoky taste that perfectly complemented the barbecue. It is not often that a side dish completely steals the show, but this one certainly did. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food arrived promptly, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. It is always exciting to discover a restaurant that delivers something a little different, and Sweet Auburn BBQ does exactly that by blending flavors and cuisines in a way that feels both creative and comforting. I left full, impressed, and honestly a little disappointed in myself for waiting so long to visit. This definitely will not be my last trip, and I already know the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket will be ordered again.

Parking was a little confusing…read moresince it's in a parking deck shared with an apartment building, but the restaurant will validate parking for up to two hours, which was a nice perk.

The standouts for me were the mac and cheese, baby back ribs, and brisket. I also ordered the fried rice, and it honestly tasted just like hibachi-style fried rice, so good! The only item that fell a little flat for me was the wings. That said, both my sister and my spouse really enjoyed them, so it may have just come down to personal preference. The service was a little slow, and it took a while before we were able to place our orders, but our server was pleasant and friendly throughout the meal. Overall, I was very impressed. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and everyone in our group left full with enough leftovers for the next day. I'd definitely come back!

Bottom line: Service and ordering are great. On future visits, I'll stick to the silver tier unless I have money to burn. Different experience from other KBBQ spots, but adjust your expectations and you'll be fine. Context: Lunch on Christmas Eve with large party of six. My wife and I are no strangers to KBBQ, but this was our first time at Chubby Cattle which has a reputation in my friend group for being overpriced. We wanted to take our parents/in-laws somewhere new and perhaps a little nicer than your Iron Age, Thrill, 9292, Em Bop, etc. Service: Our server Trang was awesome. She was friendly, accommodating, and a grilling expert. Service here certainly felt nicer than our usual haunts, which I believe was helped by two things: The self-serve area (fountain drinks, sides, a smaller selection of meats), and the table iPad for ordering. We didn't have to wait for Trang to come around to refill our drinks or to order more meats. Ordering: Famously (or notoriously), Chubby Cattle has a 90 minute table limit that is actually enforced. Meat-to-table flow at other KBBQ restaurants is controlled by how often the server comes around and the portion sizes, e.g. if it's the end of dinner and one person wants brisket for dessert while everyone is in a food coma, the server brings a smaller amount. Chubby Cattle's approach is two-fold: Fixed portion sizes and time-gated orders. Our table could order up to 10 items every 7 minutes, and the orders arrive exactly as shown on the menu. Ex. The menu showed one wagyu meat as 2 slices, and so it came as 2 slices, and honestly, it felt kind of awkward in a party of six who are used to servers bringing a mountain of brisket for the your first order. But there's an easy solution: Order more portions. Next go-arounds, we would order 5-6 portions of the same meat. Our table had taken a communal approach to ordering from the menu (that is, "you pick, I'm fine with whatever"), but I could see this working well if everyone has different preferences. Food: As a baseline, the snacks and regular meats (silver tier) are good. (And although I've been comparing this place to KBBQ, don't expect bulgogi marinated meats or similar.) We went with the gold tier due to the special occasion, and ultimately, I can't say the price jump was worth it. The order limit on the special meats/dishes is nuts, and they're too small to share. We did order plenty of wagyu steak and short rib because they're unlimited. But with so much already included in the silver tier, I would rather pocket the $20+ for dessert. This took my rating from 5 stars to 4. read more

Chubby Cattle Dunwoody definitely exceeded my expectations. The quality of the food was excellent, especially for an all-you-can-eat restaurant. The Wagyu was easily the highlight. It was tender, flavorful, and tasted like a much more expensive meal. Every cut of meat we tried was fresh and well-seasoned. There was also a great variety of meats, sides, and desserts, so everyone in our group found something they enjoyed. Overall, it's a great value for the quality you get. The biggest reason I'm writing this review, though, is because of our server, Trang. We had a party of 12, and although we were told the restaurant is mostly self-serve, Trang went above and beyond to make sure we had a great experience. She helped cook our meat and always made sure it came off the grill at the right temperature instead of letting us overcook it. Somehow she always seemed to notice when we needed something before we even had to ask, whether it was clearing plates, bringing us more utensils, or checking if we needed anything else. We were celebrating a birthday, and she also helped bring out our cake, cut and serve it for us, and even went out of her way to find a knife when we couldn't locate one. None of those things were expected, but she was happy to help with all of it. What stood out the most was how patient, attentive, and genuinely kind she was throughout the entire meal. Even with a group as large as ours, she never seemed rushed and was always one step ahead. I've been to a lot of restaurants, and her service honestly ranks among the best I've experienced. Great food, amazing Wagyu, excellent value, and service that made an already great meal even better. read more

We went here for the first time for Valentine's Day, and it was amazing! Ricky was our server and he did a great job explaining how everything worked, helping us cook the meal, and consistently checked on us to make sure we were okay. The food was delicious and there was plenty to choose from, the restaurant itself felt fancy without being too fancy- a place that's great for a date night without feeling like you need to dress up. The only (somewhat negative) thing I would say is that the self serve/buffet area is a little tight, our reservation was at 4:45 so there weren't many people, but as it got closer to 6 it became hard to move around with all the people. Still giving 5/5 stars because it was still a great experience and we ended up signing up for a membership! read more

We first tried Chubby Cattle in LA and loved it, so when we were in Atlanta for an event, we decided to visit Chubby Cattle Atlanta and it did not disappoint! The food was really good, just like we remembered. What made the experience even better was the outstanding service. Our server, Drew, was super friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire meal. He really elevated the experience for us. The restaurant itself was clean and well maintained, especially the self-service area, which was organized. Overall, it was a great dining experience, and we'll definitely be back next time we're in Atlanta. Highly recommend! read more

Chubby Cattle in Sandy Springs is an absolute must-try! The Wagyu BBQ is the star of the show incredibly well-marbled, fresh, and cooked right at your table exactly how you like it. The self-serve buffet and dessert station are a great bonus, with plenty of variety to keep everyone happy between rounds of grilling. The atmosphere is modern, lively, and just plain fun -- the kind of place that makes for a memorable night out. On top of all that, our server John was fantastic. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. He really elevated the whole experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

I had a wonderful experience at this Japanese BBQ restaurant. The grilled dishes were incredibly delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. The meat was tender and perfectly seasoned, especially when cooked right at the table. The side dishes were also well-prepared and complemented the main course nicely. What impressed me the most was the excellent service, Ricky were friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The atmosphere was clean, cozy, and perfect for enjoying a relaxing meal. I would definitely come back again and highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Japanese grilled food. read more

I recently visited Chubby Cattle BBQ for the first time, and I can't say enough good things about my experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and vibrant. My server, Jet, was nothing short of amazing--attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was absolutely delicious, and every bite was worth the hour drive. The flavors were rich and authentic, making it clear that they take pride in their BBQ. I left feeling completely satisfied and eager to return. I will definitely be back for more! Highly recommend this gem to anyone looking for great BBQ. read more

It was quiet but I also came in at 9pm but the overall atmosphere was peaceful low music and quiet conversations. There's a cute set up of string lights on the iPad and when you need assistance you just turn the light on. I'll definitely come back and wish this location much success.

Come Hungry, Leave in a Food Coma!…read more If you're looking for a place where you can cook your own meat, eat your weight in sushi, and question why other, all you can eat places exist, Stone Age Korean Steakhouse is the spot. First, let's talk about cleanliness. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, which is always a big deal when you're cooking raw meat right at your table. Everything felt well-maintained, organized, and inviting. The staff was fantastic. Everyone was extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive. At one point, while I was busy eating and cooking, one of the staff members came over and turned my meat on the grill for me. That's the kind of service I appreciate. I came to cook my own food, but, this server understood the stress of a father cooking for the family. Now, let's talk about the price. The value is outstanding. You get a huge variety of meats, seafood, and sides to cook right at your table. And just when you think that's already a great deal, you remember that the all-you-can-eat sushi go round is included, too! At that point, the restaurant is practically daring you to make the most out of your cheat day. The bar also has a decent selection, so you can grab a drink to go with your meal and make an evening out of it. What really impressed me was the combination of quality service, cleanliness, food variety, and price. You're not just paying for a meal; you're getting an interactive dining experience with plenty of options and great hospitality. My verdict: Great food selection, excellent service, a clean environment, and a price point that makes you wonder how they're pulling it off. Come hungry. Pace yourself. Remember that the sushi is included. And whatever you do, don't tell yourself you're just going to have one more plate. We both know that's a lie. I'll definitely be back!

Since it…read morewas a bit farther from the city center we were able to get a reservation and I'm glad we made the trip. We typically go to steakhouses on conference trips but it had been a few years since we had been to a place that was worth remembering. I had the Australian wagyu (50%) which ended up also being my bosses new favorite. The herb butter on it was perfect and the cook on it was exactly what we asked for which unfortunately has been hard to come by lately. The one negative I would say is that the bread is meh. While not stale, the crust is hard and isn't soft and pillowy like parker house rolls from other steakhouses we have been to. They might be better to some people, but not any of our group.

We went upstairs to the bar and were promptly greeted by Marco. He provided us with suggestions and excellent service throughout the evening. We started off with a 1/2 dz oysters and eight shrimp cocktail. YES!! The oysters, though not so big, gave me that fresh, briny taste that I love. The shrimp were good and considerable size. We were definitely happy w/the appetizer round. Moving on to the entrees, I ordered the smaller ribeye (the menu named it "The Cowgirl". I'm not going to call it that- lol) and Cuz ordered the Chicken Paillard. My steak was cooked perfect medium rare, but I had to add both salt and pepper. It was lacking on the seasoning. I was about to ask Cuz how he was enjoying his chicken, but as I looked at the plate...ALL GONE. He said it was delicious. We shared sides. Broccoli, because we needed something healthy, and the Dauphinois potatoes. Those potatoes were rich and very filling. I think I'm going to try the jalapeño creamed corn next visit. We put ourselves in Marco's capable bartending acumen with the red wine with our entrees. I don't remember which Cab he suggested, but it didn't let us down. To finish off the evening, we enjoyed a couple of Mitcher's Single Barrel. Smooth and easy! I'll definitely return. The ambiance of Arnette's calls for a pretty lady with me for my next visit.

Tony was an excellent server--friendly, attentive, and helpful, which made our first visit even better! We're so glad we decided to try this spot, and if we ever come back to Atlanta, Chubby Cattle will definitely be added to our go-to places! It's always a plus when you find a restaurant that leaves a great first impression. Another thing we appreciated was the ample parking, which made getting there convenient and stress-free. You can also make reservations online through Yelp, which is super convenient for planning ahead. Overall, we had a wonderful first experience and would definitely recommend checking this place out if you're in the Duluth area. Thank you, Tony, for the great service! We'd love to come back on our next trip to Atlanta!

Chubby Cattle is officially my new favorite go to restaurant whenever I have friends or family in…read moretown or whenever I want to treat myself to a good meal now. I absolutely love this place. There are just so many options to choose from, and I know this probably sounds silly, but I personally enjoy eating the seafood dishes more than the meat even though I know the main purpose of Chubby Cattle is their wagyu meat. My family generally enjoys the BBQ while I sit back and enjoy the handrolls and nigiri dishes. Service is generally very on point. The biggest downfall of Chubby Cattle is that they limit you to ordering only 10 items per round even if you have a large group. I generally have to constantly watch the table with my next order ready to send in to the kitchen as soon as the time limit is up for our next order to be place. The food comes out quickly, but it sucks that we're always left waiting for more. If you get a really good server though, they'll offer to put extra orders into the kitchen for you. That has happened 3x for me and made my experience so much better. Another flaw is that sometimes the bar is lacking certain things. Once I went and there was no ice, another time no boba, other times the food options are lacking or over cooked (lobster roll, wagyu burger, corn cheese, etc). It's not the end of the world, but I wish that part was more consistent. But at the end of the day, it comes down to the main food being offered, and that's what makes me love this place. There's so many choices for the meat that you can't not find one you'll really like. Honestly there's so much that I always have a hard time remembering which one I liked most. The servers will come by and help you cook it, but mostly we cook on our own for all my visits. They're very good about stopping by and changing out the grill if they notice it needs changing though. I absolutely LOVE their nigiri whether it be the wagyu, roasted salmon, or just regular salmon one. Their salmon and eel handrolls are great as well. And the yellowtail is a family favorite. There's different tiers that you can pick from, but my family has personally only ever eaten from silver and we've been more than pleased every time. My husband and I have a membership though, and one day, we will come back and try the gold tier just to see if there's anything we've been missing out on all this time. I'm looking forward to my next visit already :)
