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.

Ribs, brisket, pulled pork, Brunswick stew, Mac-n-cheese and jalapeño/cheddar sausage.

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!

They were there on time, dressed professionally, and had the food ready to serve when it was supposed to be. I spent some time in the kitchen, and watched as the prepped, and everything was clean and sanitary. Sean did pull a menu item that he said couldn't be properly prepared in the kitchen facility we had available. There was still more than enough food, so none of the guests ever knew. I really appreciated his honesty in doing that-now people walked away saying how amazing the food was, and not talking about that "one thing that didn't work". For me, that makes this a positive, not a negative. Big props also go to his staff-we had an ice cream sundae bar as well, and the person who was hired to serve didn't make it. His folks stepped up and made sure that part went off without a hitch. I would trust this man and his staff to cater any event I had. Oh, and if you're in Lawrenceville, they do a lunch delivery thing that's great!

Hands down, the service was great and the food was excellent! I can honestly say, they delivered quality with my budget of $1,200. The price was reasonable and we got a lot of food.

Richard went above and beyond anything we could have asked for our wedding and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a full service caterer and staffing for your wedding and/or event. We initially reached out to Richard looking for a vendor to make appetizers for our wedding (we had different vendors for the other courses). He had a wide selection of foods choices, where we selected four appetizers, our personal favorite (and the one with rave reviews from our guests) was the Mediterranean Grilled Lamb Chops with Cilantro Mint Aioli. In addition to the food, Richard offered very competitive pricing on other services as well - servers, bartenders, linen rentals, silver wear, full bar package, and so on. He was very conscious of our budget and offered multiple alternatives for each decision, which was greatly appreciated. Since our reception was at a venue where we could bring our own food and alcohol, it also required us to take care of everything else. Having Richard to take care of so many items was such a huge blessing.

Hibachi Furano is a network of chefs providing private mobile hibachi services around metro Atlanta…read more(extra fee for over thirty miles). The chefs tout fifteen years of Japanese culinary experience. The meal itself consists of a side salad (ginger dressing), hibachi vegetables, fried rice, homemade dipping sauce (teriyaki, yum-yum), and 2 proteins of their choice (tofu, chicken, jumbo shrimp, NY strip steak, scallops). There is an extra charge for filet mignon and lobster. My friend hired Hibachi Furano for a recent milestone birthday in her backyard for a dozen guests. Our chef was the consummate professional, and we were thoroughly entertained with sake squirts, flying spatulas, and the fire shaker show. All of our vegetables and proteins were well cooked and seasoned. Once the experience was over (about ninety minutes), our chef discreetly and quickly cleaned up his workstation and slipped out without disrupting the party. I am going to have to find a reason to hire Hibachi Furano for a future event. We had a blast and working with Hibachi Furano was hassle-free.

We recently celebrated a milestone birthday in our home for 2 dozen guests. Our Chef, Jerry, arrived a half hour before start time, setup and was ready for showtime lightning quick. After we riled up the group, Jerry did his thing and it was just like being in a Hibachi Restaurant. Salad with ginger dressing, fried rice, super tasty vegetables and then the entrees. I'm a self professed snob when it comes to food and this was delicious. I had Filet and Scallops, my wife had Shrimp & Scallops. I also got a chance to try the strip steak. The cooking was in point, the filet was so tender and juicy and the sauce was flavorful without being too salty over shadowing the meat. Anyone that knows seafood knows how easy it is to overcook shrimp and scallops. This seafood was perfection, melt in your mouth good, not one bite tough or chewy. When the show was over, Jerry cleaned up with extreme efficiency and slipped out without disrupting the ongoing event, leaving no trace of his presence, other than the smiles on everyone's face. This service is an excellent value and I will find a reason to use them again. The setup is the equivalent of a six foot table and the chef just needs standard work around space to operate and get to your guests. Timely, efficient, cleanly and expertly prepared food. I recommend Hibachi Furano and Chef Jerry.

She listened to our vision for our cocktail hour with apps, dinner reception, and dessert, and came up with a fabulous menu using her culinary talent. She is a very calming presence and has a great can-do attitude that was perfect for pulling off a large wedding event. I loved the freshness of the food she prepared and most of the vegetarian southern meal that she created was sourced from local farms she picked up herself. It was important to us that we provided the freshest, most sustainable food possible. She had a bartender staff our cocktail and additional staff help with set-up and clean-up. Our guests loved the food, drinks, and watermelon snow cart. And her prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend Good Food Truck for weddings and other events. Besides, there's nothing more unique than having a watermelon snow cart to cool off while dancing at an outdoor Atlanta wedding! Thank you to Jessamine and everyone on your team!
