    You can find Ford's BBQ at 2337 Main St Tucker, GA 30084 - this is right on the Tucker square with free on street parking (sometimes hard to get, especially during prime time) - luckily there are lots scattered about - I often park near the railroad tracks and down some of the side streets. I really, really want to like the BBQ here but there's some quality about it that doesn't work to well for me. The meats are tender, especially the brisket - this is Texas style BBQ so you would expect that. I've eaten here a couple of times and while I certainly respect my friends opinions about the place, I find it lacking a bit. The things going for it: the patio especially during spring and fall. The smoked wings - hard to find them this good. The birra tacos are pretty tasty. If you're really looking for Texas style BBQ they're good if not exceptional. Some of the sides were a bit overcooked but nothing too bad and some are exceptional, like the street corn. The service can be a bit spotty - you'll have servers around at the start but they're really busy so it might take you a while to get a drink refill. Overall and good experience but nothing exceptional. There's not a lot of BBQ available in this part of Tucker so this is pretty much a go-to when I'm nearby and in the mood.

    pulled pork sandwich with salad and texas cheesesteak with fried okra
    Lili J.

    My family loves Ford's, but this last visit was kind of a letdown and left me disappointed. I got my usual order of a pulled pork sandwich and a side salad. The sandwich just wasn't as good as it usually is, and the sauce was looser than normal, so it just didn't taste that good. The salad also wasn't what I was expecting. It was just spinach with a ton of onions and tomatoes, and I thought it would be mixed with greens, some cucumbers, and other toppings. It felt like they were overcompensating for not having stuff, but it was just way too many onions. I am just hoping it was a one-off, and it seemed like they were having supply issues because they were out of a ton of stuff, and that impacted the quality of what they had left, but I wish I had known that earlier that day because I probably would have just gone another day. I'll still go again but my expectations will just be a little lower.

    This is my 2nd time here. I was unimpressed the first time, so I thought I'd give it a shot. Still very lackluster. I sat at the bar and ordered their peach sangria that can be made with/ red, white, or sparkling wine. I ordered the sparkling. It was pretty much all peach schnapps; pretty disgusting. I ordered my food to go. I arrived around 8:50 and they were out of about 4 sides and 2 entrees. I ordered the half slab platter (it comes with/ 2 sides). The firies were ok. The beans were sooooooo hot! I really enjoy spicy (and I mean 10/10) Thai and Indian food, but these were so hot that they weren't enjoyable. The bartender who I ordered my food was gracious enough to let me sample the house, hot house, and hot mustard sauces. I asked her is she could include both the house & the hot house with my order. She assured me that the house would automatically come with the order, but gave me a side of the hot house. I'm glad she did because the kitchen did not include any bbq with my to-go order. The ribs were just okay. I think there plenty of options that are better. This place is way overpriced,. The food isn't good. The staff is mediocre and mildly competent at best. I gave this place a 2nd chance and it lived up to the low expectations. I'd skip it if I were you.

    If you like flavorful bbq that melts in your mouth with great service, indoor/outdoor seating, music and happenin ambiance, then we found your place on Main Street. This was our first visit and we will be back. It's all going ON at Ford's.

    If I lived closer, this would be my new spot. I was in the area running some errands, and I remembered that I wanted to try it from seeing it in an Atlanta Eats article. I came on a Wednesday afternoon. I lucked up and found a parking space right in front, but I will say if you don't luck up... Parking can be a little confusing and a little annoying. The menu is pretty expensive, and it was hard to choose what to order because they had so many things I was interested in. I ended up choosing the barbecue nachos, which were an insane portion size, and the fried okra. Both were so delicious. I had to take the okra to go, and it heated up perfectly in the air fryer. I sat outside on the patio, and I really enjoyed the outside space. The inside is fairly small and seems a bit cramped. The service was OK-ish. The waitress didn't really help with narrowing things down and wasn't really great with giving recommendations... I got the feeling she was new, but I wasn't sure. An interesting thing happened while I was there. A woman clearly experiencing a mental issue showed up, and I observed the management handle it really well. Kudos to them for that.

    Delicious pulled pork sandwich with great sides
    Tim P.

    Visited on a nice spring evening and sat outside and enjoyed our meal. They have a wonderful bbq menu with a mix of Tex Mex. After ordering drinks we ordered nacho appetizer and the plantains. The nachos were great and all five of us cleared the platter. The plantains were very good. The table ordered pulled pork, ribs, pork sandwich, and fantastic sides. Our waiter said his favorite is the Brunswick stew and a couple of us ordered and were very happy we took his advice. The service was great and our waiter couldn't have been better. Great meal!

    It's so good, if you don't get there soon enough, they run out of brisket. That's a good sign of popular brisket.

    We had such a lovely dining experience at Cherokee Rose. Our party of eight; four adults and four…read morechildren arrived after being turned away from another restaurant that was closing early, and we couldn't be happier that we ended up here. Everyone was incredibly accommodating and welcoming. The food was absolutely amazing, truly 5-stars quality across the board. The smoked filet was phenomenal, and the craft cocktails, white sangria, and wine selection were all excellent. Even though there wasn't a children's menu, the staff went above and beyond to make sure our kids were taken care of. The chef even prepared special dishes just for them, which we truly appreciated. I can't say enough about how thoughtful and accommodating the entire team was. Our waitress, Liz, was such a professional she helped us navigate the drink menu and made suggestions and brought surprises and samples based on our likes. We will be returning!

    This restaurant is also owned by the same owners as the "The Oak Bar" on main street Stone Mountain…read moreVillage . The owner has some other restaurants downtown Decature as well The "Cherokee Rose", very nice ambient atmosphere good looking restaurant. However it appears to be Family run with close friends and their kids. The Staff is not very attentive, one bartender so long waits or missed over waiting to place a drink and food order No one's really educated on the menu when asked a question about the food items. They just slide a menu in front of you as a gesture - you read it if you want to know. I can't see the small print on these menus to save my life lol I invited a industry colleague for a business dinner Ok, food review they offer an oxtail protein in the collard greens "Yummy" however I didn't find oxtail in the collard greens anywhere. My guest ordered some cwing dinner that looked like a contraption. As far as the presentation was delivered. I decided on a liquid diet after seeing the food delivery Next week I personally stopped in-for lunch wanted to give this place a chance to rebound and my full attention on a fair review. I wanted to also make sure management was there. An older caucasian woman greets me well we have a cordial conversation about my previous experience and my embarrassment at such a nice looking restaurant She was unable to believe this happened at her restaurant. Just plain disbelief and raved about the kitchen and pride that goes into her food to later having to eat those words Again, limited menu what is up with the 4-5 items to chose from. I donot eat steak fries So I just ordered the burger - medium well - not burned and it had no venison mixed or blended meat added The burger came out with old brown tarnished lettuce I sent it back for fresh lettuce . She brought it back they added thousand island dressing when I specially asked for mayo on the side which was also provided. What is going on in the kitchen I took a bittersweet bite anyways and spat it out. Took my utensils which looks like a switch blade in a fairly nice restaurant. bad esthetics decisions I knifed out The center of the uncooked raw meat of the burger and waited patiently for the nice lady to find her way back over to me I offered to just pay and leave. She ask what was the problem . I uncovered the burger and allowed her to witness fir herself Her face turned beet red and quickly said no charge and stormed off to her kitchen where I am sure like "The Oak" there was a Waffle House griller reject acting as a chef " Pictures attached : I can't make my Experiences UP! #SMH you just can't get what you pay for anywhere these days Me being a restaurant consultants. I've contacted a few franchises and alerted them to a decent food market thst can use some great affordable food options Let me help "Stone Mountain Village Grow"
