    Potato Salad - 6 oz.

    Our server, Debbie, was wonderful--very attentive, kind, and made sure we never went thirsty or left unhappy. Each plate came with two sides. Beef Rib Tips Plate We ordered the beef rib tips with baked beans, broccoli casserole, and cornbread. * Beef Rib Tips: 8/10 - Very tender and paired well with the BBQ sauce. * Baked Beans: 6/10 - A bit watery, but had a nice sweetness. * Broccoli Casserole: 9/10 - Delicious, creamy, and full of flavor. * Cornbread: Classic and comforting. Brisket Plate * Brisket: 9/10 - Flavorful, tender, and practically melted in your mouth. * Mac & Cheese: 1/10 - Unfortunately, this was a miss, so I swapped it out. * Potato Salad (swap): 6/10 - Pretty basic but decent. * Candied Yams: 9/10 - Sweet, soft, and very well done. The sweet tea was also really good--refreshing and just the right amount of sweetness. Price: The total came out to $60, which included a 10% service charge automatically added, plus a little extra to round it out after tipping. For the portions and quality of service, the price felt fair. Overall: A solid 4 out of 5. Good food, excellent service, and I'd definitely come back again!

    Daddy D'z is one of those local gems that you ensure to always stop at when you're in the area. The visual esthetic of the location has a down home juke joint type of feel, however, as captivating as it is... you don't come for the looks. I decided to get the Rib Tips Dinner with Red Beans and Rice, Candied Yams, and Cornbread. First off, I don't know who was in the back making this cornbread, however, this moist, perfectly sweet, golden brown bite of perfection set the tone for the entire meal. Yes! I'm one of those who eats the cornbread first. Ha! The Rib Tips were super meaty, perfectly smoked, and tender to the touch. I paired them with the spicy BBQ sauce which added an enjoyable layer of flavor to the overall natural pork flavor profile and added seasoning rub. All I know is these tips were incredible. Both of my sides were good. The yams had the homemade southern taste, where the red beans and rice provided a traditional creole flavoring with an added smokiness from the sausage. To round it off I decided to try the Sweet Tea and babeeeeeeeeeee. Whoever's grandmother made this sweet tea is truly a legend. I'm talking sweet and yea as it should be. Don't judge me but I had to get a refill. LoL. I truly enjoyed my stop at Daddy D'z and will always stop by when I'm in the area. If you're near or in the mood for some great BBQ and willing to head to the city, add this to your Must Try list!!!

    While visiting ATL, I read Daddy D'z was a must try for any BBQ fans, and it did not disappoint! From the outside it looks like many of the bbq joints I've visited in Texas; An unassuming building with smoker in the back. Plenty of parking on site. As soon as you walk in you are welcomed with Southern hospitality. All of the staff and pit master were super friendly. They specialize in smoked ribs, so we ordered one slab with two side orders. This set us back $38.00. The menu also features usual fare such as brisket, sausage, and turkey. One thing I've never seen before is they offer turkey ribs. Maybe I'll try them next time. For sides we chose coleslaw and mac & cheese. The slab came out covered in their house sweet bbq sauce. If you don't like your meat drowning in sauce, ask them to put it on the side. The whole slab was a lot of meat for two people so come hungry or order a 1/2 slab. The ribs weren't "fall off the bone tender", but they had a good smoked flavor. The mac & cheese was great, but coleslaw was ok. To drink we got their sweet tea which is made with sugar and is the only way they serve it. So if you prefer unsweet tea they don't have it. The tea also comes with free refills. For payment, they accept credit card and note they charge a 10% service fee on all bills. If you like bbq, it would be hard not to try this place. I'll return.

    OMG. Their ribs are so tasty. The little taqs are just wicked. The mac n cheese has the best touch of tang. I'm so full, I can't breath.

    Definitely a no frills, hole in the wall kind of place. You can tell this joint has been here for awhile due to the older newspaper clippings and awards this place has won in the past. It's counter service and we ordered a pulled chicken plate with fried okra, green beans and cornbread. My husband ordered a beef brisket plate with collard greens, coleslaw and cornbread. My chicken was moist and flavorful, though it lacks the smoky flavor you get from BBQ. The fried okra was fried perfectly but lacks a tad bit of salt. Green beans were cooked well. The star of the show was the cornbread! It was a little dense but the crust was great with the gritty texture you get from cornmeal. Y'all support this place before the development gets bought and we lose this establishment for good.

    I was visiting from California, The customer service was amazing, the food was good, the restaurant is a hot mess, it's needs a remodel, it's not aesthetically pleasing, I walked in and it felt like 2005, no air on one side and when you enter the order side it's cooler but fans are blowing so I started to sweat, this place could be so popular if it got a remodel, it has potential, the location is great and the bougie joint up the street that is aesthetically pleasing lacks in comparison.

    I have been driving past Daddy D'z for a while now and finally had the opportunity to stop and I am so happy I did. The portions were HUGE and I ended up taking well over half of my food home, even though I was starving when I sat down. Service was so good. My waitress made it feel like you were at home talking to family. The ambiance was fun! It felt like a little bbq shack in the country but in the middle of the city. I wish I had gotten pictures of it, but it slipped my mind. It felt like everything was done out of love and just wanting to serve GOOD food.

    I came to this location because a few years ago I tried it and enjoyed. I wanted to continue to support them since a couple streets over DAS BBQ decided to build. Today however, I was disappointed. For one, the pricing on the menus is not what you pay and in addition to tax you pay a 10% unknown service fee. The food: I asked what's fresh and of course the lady said everything and I should have known then there was a reason there was zero customers. I ordered chicken and ate it in my car. The chicken was clearly thrown in the fryer to make it hot. I ran a bbq restaurant many years and literally disciplined cooks for cutting corners and that's exactly what they did. I know the taste of fried skin all day long. If I wanted fried chicken I would have gone down the street. I suggest keeping proper warmers or something. You don't know what a persons dietary needs are and serve them fried when they are unaware is very negligent. I'm a champion for small businesses and will continue to be one but I also believe in giving honest constructive feedback. Do better. Please do better

    The best customer service I've received during my trip to ATL. The staff was patient, kind, and welcoming. The food was delicious. I loved the ribs and chicken plate. I highly recommend the Arnold Palmer (tea/lemonade mix). The pit master came out introduced himself and took time communicating with all customers dinning.

The prices are comparatively higher, and the quality is much worse. The staff is very friendly and helpful, but that can't makeup for the mediocre food. This was a disappointing visit. I won't be back.
