Outside of Das Bbq are rows of smokers, so before even stepping inside you're hit with the smell of woodsmoke and meat. Inside you can tell it's a bbq joint with pictures on the wall and a sink in the dining area for handwashing. There is also outside seating. The staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions, and the chicken, turkey, brisket, and Mac were all outstanding. They put their own twist on some the sides, and while the corn or beans weren't my favorite I get the appeal. Definitely would recommend and look forward to returning.
Das BBQ was a great place to meet up with others and has a great space. The food was good but I think there's better options for bbq in Atlanta. I'd be back again when there's events there though!
Das BBQ was perfect for lunch, honestly tons of food, so maybe too much for lunch, but it was good and tasty so it was worth it. First, I highly recommend the pulled pork. It had so much flavor, not too much fat, and was a great sandwich with the bbq sauce. The brisket was also very good; tender, moist, and a huge portion, which was great for our first time. Lastly, the mac and cheese was good, maybe not the best I've ever had, but still very good and worth getting it as a side. I can't wait to get back and try a few more things.
Great BBQ. Two people told me this was the best Q in Atlanta, and who am I to doubt them. It's the only one I've been to here and I thought the brisket and pulled pork were fantastic. Texas style I read somewhere. Hella delicious style is what I would call it! Collard greens too, which had an interesting slight vinegar/pickle flavor. It's a five star joint in my eyes. But I will say that the mac and cheese was just very good, and not off the chart like the rest of my meal. If that was a point off, they got the point back for having a good selection of beer! Lots of seating inside and out. A nice place to go on evenings and weekends because they have games outside and a great hangout vibe. Kudos to the staff for the great service. And an extra thanks to the really cool brother who was in line in front of me. It was a true act of hospitality the way he shared about his favorites on the menu. I was completely surprised in a "this would never happen in California" way when he even invited me to step in front of him in line to order. Good gosh, almighty folks are cool down here.
Delicious. Mac & cheese with chicken and added bbq sauce. baked beans with pineapple are different but so good.
Nice little setup outside as well as inside. , the service was friendly. The brisket was a bit dry, but the food as a whole was tasty. The Das corn caught me by surprise with a little spice/peppers in the creamed corn. Parkin was a challenge, but it was a good visit and good meal.
I loved the ambiance! 5/5 It's nice and spacious, with an indoor and outdoor space curated for large or small parties to relax, eat and drink. (A dope Brent Faiyez playlist made a total vibe!) Service 5/5- "Q" was the name of our attendant and he was welcoming and had a pleasant disposition. Food 3/5- Ribs were kinda' dry but the smoked turkey was delicious! The macaroni and cheese was a bit greasy and tasteless. The collard greens lacked flavor but the peach cobbler was tasty!
Wow... after touring the Carter Center, my friend brought me and my grandson here for lunch. The meal was excellent and the service was impeccable. We enjoyed dining outdoors on a breezy late winter afternoon. After the sumptuous meal, we had an extended walk through Oakland Cemetery due to its proximity. It topped off a wonderful day.
4.25* (out of 5) Food: 4* Atmosphere: 5* Value: 4* Service: 4* 03/15/2024 A downtown tour guide commented on how good their BBQ is and that he especially liked the Peach BBQ sauce, so we just had to give it a try on our way out of the downtown area. The curb appeal and decor are definitely attractive - a mix of modern with a rustic cabin vibe. While urged to order more, we opted to share the 3 Meat Combination Plate with Pork, Brisket & Ribs - with Mac & Cheese & Brisket Chili for sides (see picture). I found all of the meats as well as the BBQ sauces above average. I'm a bit of a brisket 'snob' as I make it at home and prefer it wrapped tight and very juicy. This had a great smoke rink and flavor...but the juiciness wasn't quite at the top. The Macaroni & Cheese was excellent - not only creamy and flavorful, but also a great smoke taste. While it was a little on the pricey side for just one person ($30), there was enough food to serve both of us - so I rated the Value above average. If you find yourself in the downtown area with a hunger for BBQ, this is definitely a solid stop. If you found this review helpful, please show your appreciation with a Like or a Follow.

Our waitress was Erica. She made our visit a culinary experience to remember for the ages. She took our order orders and made the best Side-Car cocktail ever. One of the managers came out to ensure we were being taken care, and we were. The food was delicious and worth the trip.
I got there around 2:30 pm and wanted to try several meats. I went for the 2 combo platter with pulled pork and brisket (they were out of ribs for the next 30 minutes, because a giant party had come in an hour before me). The person at the counter was friendly and helpful, felt like I was almost coming to his house. For sides, I knew I wanted the smoked beans, the person at the counter advised the Das corn which I went with over potato salad which is my usual, this turned out to be a mistake. I loved the Brisket and Pork, Brisket had an excellent bark and the sauces they have are great. The beans to me were the star, a little sweet but deeply smokey. The Das Corn was my least favorite item, as it felt a little jumbled, with the cheese, Jalapeno, and sweetness all not melding. I want to go back to try the ribs. Lastly, I left my headphone case there, and the guy at the counter already had it for me when I returned to retrieve it, which I really appreciated!
I'm not going to enjoy writing this review, but you have to give an honest opinion and my thoughts are pretty average. You can tell whoever bought this place, sunk a ton of money into it. I've never seen so much smoking equipment. They have 5 industrial size smokers right in front of the restaurant. The space is huge and there was hardly anyone there on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. We came here for bocce courts, while the outside is nice, it's next to a busy road and close enough to the interstate where you hear the constant humming of cars. It kind of ruins the outside esthetic. I ordered the wings and brisket, with cream corn and baked beans. I would go back just for the corn, the cheese and pepper flavor if so good, it taste like shaved elotes. The wings were alright but pretty dry. I understand bbq is usually made the morning of, and served to order. But I've had smoked wings a lot and these were sitting out for a while. My favorite smoked wings are the local. The brisket was okay, a good bark a mediocre cut, and not very juicy. The baked beans were a bit saucy and okay. What I will say is there bbq sauce choices were awful. Not enough choices, and too much vinegar. It is my personal preference but I hate vinegar forward bbq sauce. The drinks are very good, and they have jack and coke for only 5 bucks! Even though the margs come out of a tap, they are pretty good. The service was generally pretty nice. Again I hate writing a meh review but my experience was that. I hold a high standard for bbq and the only one in Atlanta I stand by is heirloom. Bottom line I won't be back, unless some friends want to go. I don't like the interstate and big money atmosphere. I would likely pass up the food unless it was the corn!
I see why this place is always empty the parking.. oh wait there is no parking .. the ordering system is a fail plate says in come with 2 sides but get charge for them .. only for my food to come out quick and was cold . The corn dish is mac was dry .. 3 dollars extra for one slice of brisket .. sausage was not hot it was under cooked .. both sauces nasty. only good thing was the wings .. 9/10 times I will not be back
This is Das BBQ's second location and has been open now for about 5 months, as it opened doors in April of 2021. It is located in Grant Park directly on Memorial Drive next to the Oakland Cemetery. This location is a tad different from the original on Collier road as they seemed to focus more on the layout, seating and overall feel of the space versus a healthy combination of food and ambiance. What I mean by that is this location is more of a quick/counter service bbq joint that features a fantastic space to enjoy your meal in. The exterior of this location features a phenomenal outdoor space that consists of covered and uncovered patios which also converts into a great space for events (ie Yelp Events!) and then the inside has a small and cute full service bar with a good sized, but narrow dining room that features a combination of tables and high tops. The outside is truly where it is at here! As mentioned above, this location has all the food pre-made and pre-packaged waiting for you at the counter. Whether you are eating on site or taking to go, you go to the counter to order and they supply to you immediately. This includes everything from the meats, wings, sandwiches, sides and desserts. Since they prepare what they feel they may need, in the event it does not sell day of, you can get it discounted the day after. Speaking of food, Das is well known for the obvious, but more specifically their brisket and a few sides. I have enjoyed the brisket at the Collier Road location, but here I went with the brisket sandwich as I was expecting the same meaty, juicy, sturdy and moist meat I have tasted before. Well, I was sadly mistaken, as the sandwich was dry, even drowning it in the supplied sauce did not do enough to bring the meat back to life. For our sides we got macaroni and cheese along with brunswick stew. Both were fine, nothing spectacular. The mac n cheese has the signature baked crust on top, but given the preparation and placement into the to-go containers, it lost a little bit of the texture that makes that part so good! The Brunswick stew was a solid stew, I actually took a good part of my sandwich and added the meat to get the best of both worlds. Parking here can be tough as they do not have dedicated parking. You will have to choose from the street parking surrounding the restaurant and area or parking at Oakland Cemetery, both of which are free. Overall, Das is becoming a well known institution here in Atlanta. This location is definitely a cool spot that I could see myself coming back to. I will say that the Collier Road location has my heart for the food, but this location has my heart for that covered patio! read more

Came to DAS BBQ on a Wednesday night for trivia that Dirth South Trivia hosts. There's a free parking lot close by which is really nice so no need to stress about parking and big plus for it being free. There looks to be a bocce league on Wednesdays too here and the outside definitely had a large group. The patio and exterior here is really nice with tetherball, well lit patio, and plentiful seating. The food ordering and alcoholic beverage ordering inside was separate. We ordered a pulled pork sandwich, brisket sandwich, 2 jarritos, mac and cheese, and a spicy sausage and paid $50 after tip. It was a pretty penny for really a meh meal. Service was welcoming and relatively quick. Both of the sandwiches come with chips or your choice of slaw or beans. We both opted for the chips since they had Zapp's Voodoo (my favorite). I enjoyed the brisket and felt like it was fair, but just steep here compared to bbq I've had elsewhere. Mac and cheese was okay, but again nothing stellar and I wouldn't get it again. The spicy sausage was not spicy at all and it had cheese in it - not a bad thing, but unexpected as it had no mention of cheese on the menu. We ordered a brownie towards the end of the night for only $3 for how big it was but it tasted more like really dry cake. Big skip. Drink prices here are really good for Atlanta (Jack & Coke for $5? Sign me up). We'll be back for trivia, but will definitely eat before and just grab some bevs here. read more

Das BBQ has brought their delicious barbecue from the Upper Westside closer to Downtown Atlanta with this new location in Grant Park, right next to historic Oakland Cemetery. They've encroached upon the territory of longtime downtown Atlanta favorite, Daddy D'z BBQ Joynt (https://bit.ly/3lzuhah)! I hope the two coexist and succeed. This is the second location of Das BBQ. The first location opened December 30, 2016. I first tried Das BBQ in 2018. In 2019, I gave the original location 5 stars on Yelp: https://bit.ly/3fSTpp5. Their barbecue and sides are good. This second location of Das BBQ opened on April 13, 2021. It replaced The Harp: https://bit.ly/3fSTpp5. The restaurant doesn't have dedicated parking. However, there should be plenty of free street parking nearby, particularly behind the restaurant on MLK. According to the restaurant, you're also allowed to park in the Oakland Cemetery public gravel lot. You enter that lot from MLK near Oakland Ave, directly in front of the main entrance to the cemetery. There was ample parking during my Wednesday dinner visit around 6:30-7:00pm. This new location is nice and big. According to Yvonne Zusel of the AJC (https://bit.ly/3ioPpxV), this location has seating for about 111 inside, about 80 outside-covered, and 30 outside-uncovered. During my visit, they had cornhole set up and ready for play on their nicely-paved lot. They also had a variety of smokers on display: a five-door Franklin smoker out front, a trio inside named Cledus, Smokey, and Bandit, as well as two Southern Pride smokers. If I recall correctly from one of my visits to the Collier Road location, the Southern Pride smokers are used for chicken and turkey while the others are used for brisket, pork, and ribs. According to my hometown friends, the Barbecue Bros (https://bit.ly/3Chq3tT), Das BBQ uses a combination of hickory and pecan wood. The restaurant had a bunch of chopped wood stored outside next to the catering van, "Das Van." Inside, they've got a small, five-seat bar with beers on tap. They have a projector which they use to display televised sports, etc, and an indoor-outdoor speaker system with great sound quality. I like the variety of seating options. It's just a cool spot all around. Das means "the" in German. As I wrote in my review for the original Das BBQ location, the name "Das" is a nod to the German and Czech settlers who first brought smoked meats to Texas. The food menu is simple with meats served in whole, half, and sandwich portions; sides in regular (5 oz), pint, and quart portions; and desserts. Examples of prices when I visited included a whole pound of sliced brisket for $30, 5 "Smokin' Legs" (chicken wings) for $8, and a whole rack of ribs for $44. The prices of what I ordered below should also give you an idea. Pints of sides ran $7-12 each and quarts ran $10-23 each. Desserts - banana pudding and brownies - were sold in singles only, $5 and $3, respectively. Here's what I ordered: Meats * Brisket, sliced, 1/2 lb ($15) * Pork, pulled, 1/2 lb ($9) * Sausage, one hot and one mild (BOGO, $2.50, see below) Sides and Dessert * Das Cream Corn, regular 5 oz ($5) * Collard greens, regular 5 oz ($4) * Mac & cheese, regular 5 oz ($5) * Coleslaw, regular 5 oz ($3) * Banana pudding, regular 5 oz ($5) I ordered my food to-go. It appeared that no matter dining in or taking out, the only difference in the way the food was served was whether it was on a metal, paper-lined tray or in a brown bag. All of the meats and sides appeared to already be portioned and packaged individually for immediate serving. Cashier Kierra and her coworker were very nice. However, when I got home, I realized they forgot to pack the pulled pork that I had ordered and paid for. I understand mistakes happen. I called Das BBQ and the only options were to listen to recorded messages and/or leave a voice mail. I left a voice mail. I received a receipt via email (Clover). When I hit reply, the reply address was to Das BBQ owner Stephen Franklin. I shot him a quick note and he got back to me immediately. The next day, Joy took care of me by initiating a refund and offering pork on the house the next time I visit. Now that's great customer service. As for the food itself, it was consistent with the Collier Road location. I recommend the brisket, sausage - both hot and mild, pretty much all the sides listed above except for maybe the coleslaw. Definitely get the banana pudding. Das still serves up some of the tastiest, smokiest, and moistest sliced beef brisket in Atlanta, in my opinion. Their sausages are juicy, plump, and packed with flavor. As noted on the menu, the sausages come from Elgin, Texas, so they're not made in-house. There was a "Buy One, Get One Free" fridge of "old" sandwiches and sausages that they weren't able to sell in previous days. I got my sausages from there and just heated them up in the microwave at home. Still savory and delicious. The medium shell mac & cheese was nice and cheesy. read more

Wonderful and attentive service! Great tap beer options. I only had the chips and queso and two beers. The queso was average tasting, it was pretty thick and hard to eat with the chips. The environment is amazing! There are outdoor patios that are covered and uncovered, with plenty of indoor space. I was there for live music and will be back for other events! read more
Stopped in here for dinner with my mentor (who was in from out of town) He lives in the north east so I wanted to show him some real BBQ. This is the second location for DAS. Outside you can see the named smoker lined up. Inside they have a full bar and high top seating. You order pretty much a la carte. They don't have a "sampler" platter. We got a brisket sandwich, pulled pork, and turkey. I'm a certified KCBS judge, so I know a bit about BBQ. Everything was good. The turkey was a "sleeper" in that it was very juicy and moist and better than expected. The rib prices were artificially high due to pork processing plant costs at the moment, but the owner stopped by our table to chat about the place and was really engaging. Good food, good people. read more

I came here yesterday for DJ JAZZY JEFF for the YELP ELITE EVENT and it was awesome! Great beer/drinks and such an awesome time. Now to the food - I didn't care for the brisket sandwich at all. It was really dry even with the BQQ sauce. BUT the Mac and cheese stole the show for sure. It was so good, the cheese melted perfectly in the shells and my favorite part of the meal. Obviously, the DJ was on point and had everyone dancing and enjoying themselves. This place has a great outdoors space and wasn't crowded at all, everyone respected each other's space. The people were great, they came and checked on everyone at least once and picked up trash,etc. I'll definitely be back for more Mac and cheese!!!!!! read more

What a great experience! Food was delicious, but the service was better! This was our 1st visit and Q was so helpful explaining the choices. Only bummer was I couldn't order just one rib as a taster. Absolutely everything else was great and when in Atlanta again we definitely will eat here!! read more

Previously I've been to the Collier Rd location before I ever visited this new location. I definitely liked the brownies they had and the brisket at that time it was put in a thin paper that kept it moist and juicy! I went at a different time with a friend and they stopped that and put the brisket in a plastic container instead like it was chopped instead of sliced. I wish that they didn't do that I haven't been back to that location. I went to this location after seeing that they have a beef rib on Sunday so I had to pull up to try it out. I placed my order for me and my mom. The music was loud I asked for regular size sides and not large. Idk if the cashier heard me correctly or not. Just double check before receiving your order. I got the beef rib with the two sides Mac and cheese and jalapeño cream corn. The food is good and delicious. This rib has a rub on it I like it. A great addition to their menu. read more

Respectfully I was disappointed. I visited this place on my vacation from California with my family and we weren't impressed. There was no seasoning on the half plate of brisket that we ordered. My order of macaroni and cheese was over cooked meaning it was dried out. There was nothing cheesy and that macaroni. The sausage wasn't spicy at all. Yet we ordered a hot sausage. Now I should have went with my first thought when I pulled up and bailed out but I wanted to give this place a chance and not be bias. Next time I'm going to listen to my first thought. Respectfully The customer service was just about the only thing that made me give this place a 1 star . Customer service was excellent. But the food was a 1 out of 5 . read more

Randomly was in the area and came across this hidden gem. This bbq spot is very clean and the aesthetics are great. This is true bbq flavor and style. Todd and Mya was very welcoming and accommodating. Will be moving here soon and will most definitely tell everyone about this stop. This will be a regular stop for me moving forward. read more

I was riding through the city and wanted Banana pudding badly, so I saw this spot and asked I assumed was a worker or owner if they carried it and he said the best. I tried his suggestion and also while in there I brought the brisket sandwich and a side of baked beans. So being I wasn't that hungry I immediately opened the pudding and it had some type of fairy dust on top but I said let me still try it and I was upset . It wasn't enough wafers for my liking and it was overly sweet instead of savory like I'm used to. The service was great and the atmosphere too but I didn't enjoy the pudding at all I tasted the brisket later when I got home and I must say it was good but I would prefer smaller slices, the beans hit can't even front they tasted very good. You can see the smokers and their equipment as you walk in so it's a very nice-looking place but it's a pass for me sorry . I may try the ribs so I can see if they good as advertised but that man that made me stop owes me my money for the pudding because it was very lackluster and wish it wasn't because I had the taste for it and that was ruined but I might try the ribs so I can do another evaluation. read more

One of the best settings to have an event in this neighborhood! Food: Not sure why I haven't tried this place sooner. The Mac and cheese is phenomenal! I also got some kind of corn side. Definitely don't miss out on that. They serve a really special beer here, but I'm not really into IPAs, so I can't speak on that. Everyone else seemed to love it though. Customer service: I was helped by a guy that was serving the night that DJ Jazzy Jeff was there and he wasn't the friendliest (I.e. one star came off). I understood that it was pretty hectic, so I didn't take it too personally. Would I recommend? Sure! Will I be back? Maybe. read more

Had a lunch meeting here last week, on arrival I walked though the smokehouse. The only thing between you and the smokers is a few stanchions and some chain. Inside I spoke to the manager and he said the chains are there because of insurance regs, so they do it. They want it open and inviting. Additional conversations revels the best thing on the menu as the Brisket and the creamed corn. Both, notably at the top of the menu board. Both were simply best I've ever had. The brisket was perfect, falling apart with an amazing bark. I'm the guy who cuts the fat cap off, but it was easily done and I'm glad it was there, it helped moisten and flavor the meat. The creamed corn CANNOT be described other than to say it was the best I've ever had. I'll be back. Das was delicious!!! read more

First of all after reading other reviews, I didn't know about the other location(s). This spot is overrated for sure. Who prepackages BBQ!!!! This place does, lol. I ordered a Pulled Pork Sandwich, side of Slaw and a Banana Pudding: $20 - I did tip as well. I had my food faster than McDonalds - I already knew something was wrong. The meat was stuck to the bread, haha. I assume because it was prepackaged and sitting in a warmer. The slaw was okay, but a quick warning...it's not necessarily a traditional simple slaw in case that's your expectation. Come on now! They destroyed the Banana Pudding, and I don't understand why or how. Just grab a box of Nilla Wafers and follow the box recipe. Wow. The container was filled with 3/4 cup of whipped Cream and the rest was maybe 3 small wafers and custard, zero bananas. This was an experience for sure. Will grab lunch #2 in a few, lol. read more

Nice atmosphere. Clean. Easy to park. BBQ sauces are not good! The North Carolina vinegar one is on point if you're into that. The banana pudding has an odd aftertaste. The corn is amazing! Spivey! Pimento cheese flavor. They were out of silverware. How do you eat without it. The soda machines were empty too. read more

Stopped by DAS BBQ on last Thursday. I'd been meaning to stop by sooner to try them out. They did not disappoint. The brisket was the best I've ever had. Flavorful and tender along with the ribs which were fall off the bone. The DAS corn with cheese & jalapenos was delicious. Not too spicy. My mom and I really enjoyed the food. Bo along with another gentleman that worked there were great, friendly and helpful. I odered brisket, brunswick stew and corn to go for my brother who enjoyed it also. We'll be back!! read more

Well I ain't gonna lie. The way they serve it to you,I felt like I was in a prison chow line. You walk up and order. Your meat comes wrapped and sealed in white paper. The sides come in sealed containers, all placed on a metal tray. Yep looks all institutional to me.So if your all freaked out about the current situation, have piece of mind that its all safely served to you. However the food was fantastic. The brisket was tender and juicy. The creamed corn was flavorful with a kick. The Brunswick stew was the same with a kick to it as well. The portion size was great,especially the Brunswick stew. A $4 portion could possibly be shared.. The prices might be a bit high , basically per item priced.I found $13 to be a bit high for 2 slices of brisket. I spent a little over $26 /wot . The food quality was awesome though. Yep I'll be back.. read more
