Last night my boyfriend and my parents went here. We've been here many times. The server was not pleasant. She may want to reconsider her career choice. We enjoyed our food but will not be back. Just too $$$ for what you get. Also, no prices on menu. Have to QR code to obtain. read more

Made our first visit to 'Cue tonight and LOVED it. Great atmosphere - Super friendly and helpful staff: DREW (MOD) stopped by the table w menu explanations and his recommendations on what's great; STEPHANIE, our waitress, had an awesome personality and sense of humor. LIVE music was perfect. Kind of hippie, kind of country, great covers ... We opted to split two combo meals (2 meats and 2 sides each.) SO ... much food but a great way to sample lots of things and leave with left overs. MEATS: spare ribs, pulled pork, smoked beef brisket and pulled BBQ chicken. SIDES: collard greens, fried okra, french fries and sweet potato casserole Plus, Kids Mac and Cheese (for our daughter.) Again, SO ... MUCH ... FOOD. All good; PERSONAL FAVS: Sweet Potato casserole, Ribs, Mac n Cheese. 4 BBQ sauce choices ... the blend of spicy and sweet sauces was super! And the GRANDE FINALE ... Peach Cobbler. OH MY GOODNESS. HUGE thanks to Paul Doster, Owner and Host! Such a great introduction to 'Cue. No doubt, we'll be back! read more

Delicious barbecue! I had the ribs, chopped beef, sweet potato casserole, and Cole slaw!

We had an an amazing event thanks to Julie and 'Cue BBQ! I didn't have to worry about a thing because she was so organized and on top of the event planning game! Our food was delicious, perfectly set up and placed and Julie managed the whole service with kindness and grace. Loved every second. Thank you!! read more

This is one of my favorite BBQ places in all of Alpharetta, Roswell and Cumming. The portions are gigantic, the prices are super affordable and you'll have plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. The sauces are awesome and the Sweet Potato Casserole is the best I've ever had!! The ribs are a tad dry but they're still fantastic. The service at this restaurant is the best you'll ever experience at any restaurant. I love you Cue. read more

I have no idea about the food. The restaurant advertises that they are open until 10. It was after 9 so we called ahead and they said come on. We got there at 9:30. We were informed that they shut their kitchen down at 8:30. I won't be eating at a cue ever if this is how they approach their business. I spent many years in restaurant manager myself I would have been fired if I do that. read more

Good food, but there is/was a repeated and persistent hair-in-the-greens problem during the last half of December 2021. Whoever has the long brown hair, tie it back! read more

Must've been a bad day. Ribs were a tad tough (usually falling off bone), Mac was bland and could've used another 10 mins in the oven lol, they tossed us one sauce for a half slab and wings--and by wings, they mean wing DINGS, to my dismay. Wouldn't have coughed up the cash had their menu terminology been clear. Huge difference. Anyway, not impressed this time around. Oh. And fries are those soggy ones Five Guys has. read more

Great BBQ and sides. We have been to the Highway 9 and EXIT 14 off 400 locations, both are great. Good service and great food.

I need to do a shout out to Cheryl, our waitress. Girl handled a party of 20 like a champ. The services was awesome. All our drinks and food came out right about the same time. She was a pro. As for the food. I cannot rave enough about the deviled egg potato salad. What is that even? It's good, that's all you need to know. $13.95 for a platter, your choice of meat and two sides. And plenty to take home for leftovers. read more

Always a great meal. Brunswick stew a must try. Fresh home made rolls and daily desserts make this the best

Wow! I'm always so impressed with the food here. I've used 'Cue for our company Thanksgiving luncheons for the past 3 years and even had them cater our Team Appreciation Event at a local park. The food is delivered hot and tastes fantastic! Julie and the 'Cue crew do an Ah-Maze-Ing job! They are so helpful and always go out of their way to be accommodating! Thank you 'Cue!! read more

This has been on my list to try for a while. Unfortunately, the beef brisket was very dry. The pulled pork was good, but not the kind of BBQ that has you coming back for more. The fried okra was similar - slightly greasy and the batter seemed almost like tempura because it was a light coating. I would have expected to love the okra, but I didn't. That is probably a matter of preference. Now the positives, the server was really friendly and very patient with our four year old (who punched a hole in the cup and experienced a milk leak). The decor and music were perfect for a hometown BBQ atmosphere. Best part, easily.. the WINGS! My husband is a wing fanatic and he liked these. I am less of a wing connoisseur, but these were fantastic to me. The smoke flavor in the meat was even more pronounced than with the bbq and the blue cheese side was fantastic. I will be back to have this appetizer and maybe even have wings as a entree (which I think is a new option, but that meal would have probably been a 4 star review). read more

Every single thing on the menu there is delicious. The bananas Doster, is by far one of my favorite desserts. The sausage is homemade and incredible read more

They use to be my favorite restaurant before,but not anymore after last a few time visits. The Baby back ribs so fatty, Brisket lacked extremely tough, the sauce are good but too thin The atmosphere and service are good Such a shame since brisket is one of my favorite things to eat at a barbecue restaurant. read more

Food selection horrible, prices are ridiculous, food is greasy. Worst barbecue I've eaten

Worst bbq ever. Bbq rip was so dry and smell was disgusting. Couldn't even finish half of it.

I wanted to like this place but it was just ok. It is a pretty standard bbq place with pretty average bbq. You won't hate it, but you won't be overwhelmed by its goodness either. One of the things that made me give this three stars was the quality of the meat, it wasn't very high grade for the price and it was way over smoked to cover up the lack of quality. So rather than tasting the meat you taste mostly smoke. The sweet tea is definitely good here, get it. The sauces are good but very thin, they are made for mopping not getting on and staying on your ribs. The sides are pretty lackluster except the mac and cheese, that's really good! The atmosphere and the staff are what really stand out. They are helpful, eager to serve and take care of the guest. I can't really say how Cue compares with other BBQ places in the area because I only ate at one this trip, but I've had BBQ I like much better in Atlanta. I'll definitely give this place another shot after all the good reviews and recommendations​ I've gotten. If I like it more the next time, I'll update the review. read more

Cue is my number 1 go-to every time I come to georgia. the bbq chicken nachos are out of this world. I always request multiple extra sides of fresh jalapeños cause the spice really adds to the sweetness of the chicken! we also created bbq chicken fries which were delicious! this is the best bbq place I have visited and I will always come back read more

Friendly staff always!! possibly the best BBQ in the surrounding area. I stop by here frequently and just sit at the bar, it may be a small one but I enjoy how friendly the staff is so it's a good time whenever you happen to swing by. Well done by you guys, keep up the good work. read more

Cue is the best dang BBQ you can get. This was one of the first restaurants we went to in Milton and one we frequently a couple times month. All there sauces, sides, and pork is cooked/made on site. You will even see them outside smoking their meat as you drive by. If you are looking for something to complain about it won't be the food or service. But get there off peak so you don't complain about their limited parking. And yes you will like leave a little smokey but you are getting smoked BBQ so that is just part of the experience. I love there regular chopped pork with there homemade spicy BBQ sauce. The fries are fresh cut and fried and pair perfectly. My wife always gets the fried okra and mac n cheese and loves every last piece. read more

It is worth the trip to go to 'Cue. The lightly battered fried okra with their fabulous dip is my favorite but the barbecue is right up there. If you are lucky enough to have Christine as your server, you are on the stairway to heaven, she wants her diners to be happy and it really shows in her thoughtfulness and caring. In this era of "stand in line" "use the kiosks" "serve yourself" "get your own refills" and " bus your own table", Cue and Christine stand alone in treating you like special company. "You look ready for boxes" and "you want tea in a to- go cup?" You don't have to ask or lift a. finger! read more

I love this place. The staff is always super friendly, and I've never eaten anything I didn't like. Too be fair, I've only ever ordered the pulled pork, but that's just because it's so delicious. The website says they make everything, even their bread, from scratch daily. That's definitely what it tastes like. The meat is never dry, and I enjoy trading between the three different sauces they have to choose from. I feel that a bunch of barbecue restaurants concentrate mostly on the meat, but then skimp on the sides. Not here! In fact, sometimes I go here mainly because I'm craving the sides more than the BBQ! The sweet potato casserole is my favorite. It's smooth, creamy, and served with marshmallows. Yum! read more

Cue Barbecue - Chopped pork platter with sweet potato casserole - Barbeque Near Me - Milton, Georgia

I've been back to 'Cue several times since my first review. In fact, for my suburban location, it's THE BBQ place I visit. No Slopes. No Dreamland. 'Cue IS my source for BBQ. 1st - 4th stars - additions / changes to my original review. First, I have now been to more expensive BBQ joints than 'Cue, and this place is uber reasonable given the quality of the BBQ. $10 minimum for lunch is a good asking price for good BBQ. Don't balk at it. I was wrong, and I admit it. Second, the brisket I had was meh on my first visit. Since then, I've had the brisket, pork AND homemade sausage, and IT IS ALL GOOD! The meat is moist and can be eaten by itself, no sauce. The sausage is spicey and takes about 15 minutes to prepare -- you SHOULD try it, though, if you like sausage. Finally, the Brunswick stew was meh on the first visit. Later visits have changed my opinion of this side. It's good, hearty, and still sporting that awesome spice that I liked the first time. Other recommended sides include the macaroni and cheese, collard greens and deviled egg potato salad. 5th star - customer service. I liked the service when I first visited 'Cue in December in a cold & flu drug-induced haze. Now I love it. I recently visited right at 8:56pm on a Thursday night with my parents. I wasn't sure they were still open. Sure enough, they close at 9pm on Thursday nights. I checked the closing time, walked back to the car, and, disappointed, told my parents we'd have to find something else on Windward Parkway. The owner -- Paul, I believe -- came out and waved us into the restaurant. I told him, "Hey, I don't wanna keep your staff late, dude. Folks wanna go home." He thanked me for being courteous enough to check the closing time and head back to the car and invited my party of four (4) to come on in and enjoy some BBQ. The waitress who stuck around until about 10pm after food was ordered and served and eaten was pleasant and perfectly fine that she had some late tables to serve. We shut the place down with some great BBQ and beers from the tap, and the owner chatted with us for a little while after we were done. You can't beat that kind of service, and around suburbia, you cannot beat this kind of BBQ. read more

Cue Barbecue - Half rack platter with Brunswick stew and collards - Barbeque Near Me - Milton, Georgia

Always do a great job. I did catering for a work event from here today. Vultures sopped down every bit of it . I didn't even get a chance to have any. Great experience, everyone there is fantastic to work with, great service. read more

Truly, there are few things better than savoring some good barbecue with friends. About fourteen of us invaded Cue to check out the barbecue, and everyone seemed to enjoy the experience. One friend really liked the atmosphere, saying "It's like a warm hug." Cue was comfortable. Somewhat rustic in decor. And we had a very large, spacious table for our meal. The ribs looked fantastic. The meat was falling off the bone. I was originally going to have some ribs, but for reasons that defy logic, I had the beef brisket and sausage plate. Very tasty. There was a lot of good stuff going on in that sausage. Spicy, with some good fennel. And the brisket was nice and smoky. Flavorful without the sauce, even if the sauces made it better. (There were three sauces on the table: sweet, mustard, and vinegar.) Everything my friends had looked good. And the sliders were reportedly delicious, even if the bun was freakishly thick. But next time I really will have to try the ribs. Holler if you're coming with. read more

I've only had takeout here, but the interior seems like a clean, nice space. The server who took my order over the phone and rang me up was super friendly. The beef brisket was pretty tasty, not super tender but still good. Mac and cheese and collard greens were both good, baked beans were a little too sweet for me, and the fried okra was probably my favorite side from here. Ribs were just okay, not really flavorful. Good size portions. Overall the food is pretty tasty and service is friendly. I've had better barbecue but this place is still pretty solid. I would return and try this place again! read more

I often take my toddler to lunch when we have the day together. I was craving good barbecue and always have a hard time justifying it when it's all fried and carb loaded side options. Especially when I'm trying to get the kid to eat some veggies This place was everything! Great food well seasoned and not dry AND had sides that I didn't need to feel too guilty about for myself or my kid. I got the combo platter chicken and sausage and had enough to save for dinner. My toddler for once ate a decently square meal of tomatoes cucumbers MacNcheese and some shared sausage! Atmosphere super chill and kid friendly with coloring and plenty of high chairs. Wait staff polite and friendly as well read more

I'm glad I ordered this for pick up. When I arrived, the parking lot was already full. Customers were being directed to park in the bank parking lot next door. The BBQ Chicken Sandwich was one of the best I've had in a long time. The chicken was all white pulled meat and included a delicious sauce that was not too overpowering. Although the side dishes were not bad, they were not anything I would rave about. Just regular... My food was ready and hot when I arrived. Overall it was good, but overpriced for a chicken sandwich and two sides. read more

Cue Barbecue - BBQ Chicken Sandwich with Bacon Beans and Cue Slaw - Barbeque Near Me - Milton, Georgia

Good BBQ. They always have my order prepared nicely and ready to go when I arrive. Staff is friendly as well.

Went to the location in Cumming. Love the food. The sides are amazing!!!! The bourbon sweet potatoes! Yummy

I've dined here several times and always had an ok experience. The service is pretty fast and the food is always good. On one occasion, my chicken was a little too pink for my liking but unfortunately I lived too far to take it back. If you haven't tried it, I'd say give this place a try! read more

Its good BBQ and good service. Its good BBQ served in a nice clean place and the service is also good. That means you DON'T HAVE TO GO TO A FREAKING SHACK, eat on dirty tables, put up with the BBQ nazi to get some decent BBQ that so many think only exist if the place it a total hole in the wall. Yes indeed, come here, get good bbq in an efficient restaurant and enjoy humane eating conditions. Come early tho cos the place gets packed. What's good? I have the sliced pork and sliced brisket and both are most awesome. Portions are huge for lunch but .. hey , i ain;t complaining. read more

WOW. Had a huge craving for bbq last night and so we ended up here. Loved the ambience and the girl singing live music. Our server was on top of the ball and very nice. We ordered the Kentucky Bourbon Beers which were so delicious (and strong) as well as their wings. Wangs were phenomenal!!! What a great choice. Babe had the half rack ribs and I had the pulled chicken sandwich for our entrees. Both were great and huge portions so we definitely had leftovers. Left sad that I didn't get to try their fries. The baked beans were incredible and I could've had about ten servings. The only disappointing thing was the Mac n cheese which was pretty watery and overall just OK. But who cares. Can't win 'me all. Cheers! read more

Cue Barbecue - Delicious Kentucky Ale Beers. - Barbeque Near Me - Milton, Georgia

While I can't always convince my wife to eat BBQ, my verbal review of Cue piqued her interest enough to give it a try. Food is solid, beer and wine selection, decent, but the service is fantastic! Make sure to talk to bartender Renee for great service and food recommendations. Seems like there's live music in there at least each weekend night. Good quality local musicians whom are worth checking out! By the way, she enjoyed her chicken, but really loved my beef tips! read more

What's this BS with the menu not having prices? They want me to scan a QR code and use my data plan so that they don't have to print new menus when prices change. Or, are they ashamed about what they're asking for a BBQ platter? Very disappointing. read more

I know not all BBQ is created equal, but I've had a lot of BBQ (BBQ is almost a weekly thing for me) and this place is just not good BBQ. Just not a very good chain BBQ restaurant. I can't believe it has 4 stars. STARTERS Smoked Jumo Wings Barbecue Nachos The only good thing about this place are the chicken wings. Really good wings and I'm not just judging them by the other food at this restaurant. Smoked and then fried. Sauce was really good and complimented the smoky flavor of the meat really well. If you come here to eat, just order these and you'll be happy. The nachos were ok. I don't understand how you have BBQ Nachos and use chicken and not pork. Here in the South, BBQ = Pork. That was pretty much the red flag and i knew it was going to be all downhill. I digress...the nachos were nachos. ENTREE For my entree I got the combo platter w/ Sliced Smoked Brisket and Chopped Smoke Pork. The brisket was horrible. Maybe the worst I've ever had. Really thin slices of incredibly dry, tough meat. The chopped pork was ok, but nothing to write home about. I only got to try 1 BBQ sauce out of the 4 they had on the table, but it wasn't bad. For my sides I got mac & cheese and collard greens. The greens were decent, but I couldn't even eat the mac & cheese. The noodles just sat in a really liquidy, flavorless cheese sauce topped with another layer of baked cheese. Just bad. I really like my mac & cheese creamy. Should have gotten the sweet potato casserole. The bread and pickles that come with the BBQ were at least good. Dessert we had the blueberry cobbler which was good. It's a big portion and easily shared. read more

Everything is delicious! This is our go to BBQ place. Great for catering large events , pick up for dinner or in restaurant dining.

This is as good as a barbecue place can get. Brisket, ribs, and sausage all terrific. Sides spectacular (the Pittsburgh slaw gets special mention); tap beers well-curated. Stands up to Rudy's in Texas and Fette Sau in Brooklyn! PROPS: Meghan and Kelly are the best! The staff is delightful. BONUS: Comfortable decor BONUS: Excellent value!!! read more
