My friends and I came here for a week day dinner. You order first and then you find seats. The…read moreseats are first come first serve. It can get packed later at night so I recommend coming earlier in the evening. The inside was pretty cozy but there are seats outside as well. Soon after we sat down, there was a live performer that played guitar and sang songs, she was so good! For the food, the ribs were delicious. The ribs fell right off the bone. 1/2 slab of ribs were more than enough for a meal. The rum baked beans and the collard greens were my personal favorite sides. This is a great neighborhood bbq place and I would def come back again!

This review is for delivery ordered via their website and fulfilled by DoorDash…read more In a word: underwhelming. Quarter Chicken: fine, I guess. Tender but lacking in flavor. If there was a rub, it was subtle to the point of being almost untasteable. Quarter rack of Ribs: poor. Meaty, but far too tough, definitely not fall off the bone. Again lacking in flavor, and burnt in spots. Side of Mac n Cheese: easily the start of the show. Very flavorful, baked and not swimming in cheese sauce, possible notes of ritz crackers detected. I'd have eaten a main course sized portion, and imagine it could mix well with pulled pork or chopped brisket, should Matt's ever consider expanding their repertoire of meats. Side of potato salad: also very solid. Simple but nicely flavored, just creamy enough. Side of collards: fine but unremarkable. Bbq sauce: decent-ish, more tangy than sweet. Very thick. Packaging : Matt's really could improve here. The ribs and chicken, piled together between two slices of white bread, was wrapped in white paper which was in turn stuffed into a paper bag with the containers of sides. This was messy- yes, bbq is by nature a messy undertaking, but a clamshell container would've made the whole fiasco a lot easier to deal with. A fork and spoon were included, no knife... and no napkins. Really? For a paper wrapped oversauced pile of meat... not even a single napkin? I honestly would've been fine paying an extra buck or so for some better packaging and, IDK, maybe a wetnap. Overall, this bbq lover was unimpressed. Perhaps the rave reviews made my expectations too high. I've honestly had better bbq at multiple places in my relative bbq desert hometown of Boston. I was hoping for a real treat during my business trip to Atlanta; instead, I'm yearning for the joint near my suburban New England home...

But Doordash helped me make sure I had a chance to give their Korean bbq pork (and brisket) a try. My impression was that it's really all about the sauce, with its blend of spicy, sweet, and just a little funkiness, though both the pork and brisket had a nice level of smoky authenticity to them. I can't say the mac and cheese blew me away, but it was a solid side. If I lived nearby, I'd be regularly getting the pork sandwiches. But it's a long drive from Nashville, so I'll have to keep it to a once in a while special.

They mix traditional southern BBQ with Korean flavors and somehow everything works. We got the chicken sandwich, spicy Korean pork, greens, Brunswick stew and mac and cheese. Everything was great, but the mac and cheese was fucking phenomenal. I could've eaten a gallon of it. The Korean pork was so good it'd make you want to crash a plane into your enemies. I don't know what they put in that shit but I understand the commitment now. The manager was awesome too. 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. Absolutely no reason food this good should be coming out of a little building attached to a convenience store, but I guess that's usually how you know you're in the right place.

Now it was later in the evening, so that may be why, but I should have known based on the fact they still had brisket at that time that it couldn't be that good. Mac n cheese was tasteless.

We ordered the brisket, pulled pork, lemon pepper wings, half slab of ribs, mac and cheese, and coleslaw, and everything was flavorful and cooked just right. The brisket was tender, the ribs fell off the bone, and the lemon pepper wings were some of the best we've had. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Chandler, who was working the register, went above and beyond. Not only was he friendly and welcoming when we ordered, but he also walked around the dining room checking on everyone, making sure guests were enjoying their meals, and even helped clear our table. That level of hospitality is hard to find these days and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Great food, amazing service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

While I loved the old menu, this new one works too. I also had the Peach Smash, and it was great. The food came out quickly, the atmosphere was just as enjoyable as I remembered, and it's still a great, family-friendly spot.

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.

We visited Sweet Auburn on a Sunday afternoon with a group of 10. 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. A few of us shared the BBQ Omakase, and I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and the amount of food. The appetizers were a great start, the brisket egg rolls were crispy, packed with meat, and easily an 8.5/10. I also really enjoyed the pimento wontons. 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!

As for the food: the ribs were the highlight, tender and flavorful. The brisket, however, was a bit dry and slightly too salty on the outside. Cooking it with a bit more BBQ sauce might have helped lock in moisture and boost the overall flavor. The baked beans were just okay. Definitely different,no meat, but they included pineapple, which I'm still undecided about. The potato salad was also average; it wasn't clear whether it leaned more mustard- or mayo-based, and it felt like it was missing something to tie it together. Overall, a decent experience and nice atmosphere with outdoor seating, but not one that would bring me back.
