CZ Smokez BBQ

This joint is in the heart of Oakhurst Village in a converted repair shop (the original garage…read moredoors are raised in good weather). The shop has been renovated into a rustic dining room and bar with indoor and alfresco dining. The bar is welcoming and has a decent selection of draft and bottled beer (Shiner Bock draft and Lone Star longnecks are both available). They make cocktails, too. It has a chill vibe - locals like to drink here. Brisket, pulled pork, chicken and turkey are all yummy and are served with competently made sides. I like the slaw and fried okra. They have an excellent selection of bbq sauces - ask for the chili bbq sauce for something different ( you have to ask for it as it's kept refrigerated). I like this location better than the one on Main Street in Tucker.

It has counter service similar to Fellini's. After you order, there is seating in a southern bbq house setting - lots of piggy paraphernalia on the counters and walls. Servers bring your food directly to the table. Tables are equipped with several kinds of sauce and napkins. My favorite is sliced brisket with Brunswick stew and fries. I believe I had the best Reuben sandwich I've ever had (not sure if they still do Reuben Thursday anymore - but I thought it was better than the same from General Muir). The meat was tender with perfect mix of sauerkraut, melted Swiss and Russian on marble rye. Also, I think they make the best sloppy Joe in the city. Lastly, my kids love the Mac & Cheese. I'd go get some right now if they weren't closed on Monday.

Ugh, they are closed for the time being. The building they are in did not renew their lease…read more Stupidity! Tried this place out for the first time a few weeks ago. It's adjacent to a parking deck and small. Very cozy, though! The menu is simple and it was a one-man show that day (other staff had left due to closing). LOVED IT! The coleslaw was really good and the Sammie was probably one of the freshest I've had. We had to wait a bit due to it being just him but worth the wait. I did the hot chick ... yeah, I can get away with saying that ... and it was huge, overflowing, tender and fresh. This is a SOLID spot. I was told they'd be re-opening nearby and I hope that's the case. They were BUSY as well so it's clearly not a customer issue. Check them out when they re-open. Simple and amazing!

Ok listen, this spot is in the cut wedged between Bank of America and the back of Cornerstone Bank. It has about 7 booths and 4 tables (mostly 2 tops). Customer service is warm and friendly, it always feels like you've known the guys working for years. Now the food...O.M.G. My favorite is the ATL chick which is juicy fried chicken breast tossed in buffalo sauce and... ANNNND... lemon pepper. Cmon. We're in ATL. What other way is there?! Then it has ranch drizzled on top and dressed how you want... lettuce, tomato, onion, pickle. Even the bread is yummy. The sweet potato fries are crispy and airy and go great with the comeback sauce which is whatever smoky heavenly concoction they came up with as a sauce. Listen if you're in downtown Decatur... Do yourself a favor and get here! There is street parking available and you can pay by app or at the meter. It's about $2 for an hour. They also serve salads, other sandwiches, and breakfast. Small collection of beer, wine, and cocktails.

FOOD: (Sunday Dinner Hour) The sushi choices were somewhat limited and most of the choices were very basic. The sushi rice seemed a bit dry and crumbly, and not very fresh, and most of the rolls did not hold together to be picked up with chopsticks. Some of the sushi did not seem overly fresh, as though it was made much earlier in the day and refrigerated. Flavor and texture were uninspiring. Sushi price point per plate was good. SERVICE: The restaurant was over half empty but it seemed as though they were understaffed. I ordered a soft drink upon arriving, and after 10-15 minutes I had to wave down my server down to reminder her I had not received it. No apology for forgetting my order. AMBIANCE: The restaurant was remarkably loud, given how few patrons were there. Though a restaurant cannot control what customers come in, there were two families with young, screaming children that made my visit less than pleasant. Overall, an underwhelming experience. I will continue to make the drive to Kura in Doraville instead.

So we got a beer pitcher which was a few dollars less. They only have 4? Beer pitcher options. I tried their ponce at night IPA, which was okay, not extremely bitter. They didn't allow samples so we took the gamble.

Think I'm kidding? IIWIICT caters at my workplace once in a while, and every time they're on the lunch schedule, there's a line 20 people deep until the magnificent food is gone. If you don't get there early, the meatloaf disappears and the remaining options, while great, are unfortunately not meatloaf. In these circumstances I will gladly get the garlic chicken with sides of Mac and greens. All of their sides are great though, there's not a sucker in the bunch. Back to the meatloaf. It's properly and thoughtfully seasoned, for starters. It's got this pleasant saltiness that transcends the plain-ass blocks of meat you've been served before at family tables gone by. It's a little peppery, with fine consistency and just a hint of well, depth. The sauce is tomatoey and purpose-built, not just leftover from spaghetti night. When you're halfway through one of these meaty pieces, you'll get a little emotional, a little disappointed that you're closer to the end of the meal than the beginning. Easily the best homestyle catering I've had since moving to this city.
