    Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage and Pimento Cheese
    Cas R.

    Delicious food! Ordered the sausage and pimento cheese as an appetizer (more so just to try the pimento cheese since it's a staple) and it was good, but nothing to jump about. The main part however was great. The ribs can be eaten as is or add their signature BBQ sauce (I used mild and loved it) and the combo comes with 2 sides - would recommend both the mac n cheese and collard greens. The greens are slightly sweet and very vinegary. I also loved our waiter, Liam. He was funny and helpful, checking in every so often and apologizing when they were out of something (they did run out of cornbread for the day ~7pm). Vibes are great, you can sit inside or outside and look at the artwork on the walls (including famous visitors) or watch sports on the tvs.

    If you are looking for a taste-of-the-south BBQ spot, you've come to the right place. This award winning BBQ is bar-none, one of the best around. They have a good selection of dishes and sides, all which are always hearty and delicious. The interior itself is exactly what I would picture of a traditional southern restaurant. With its whimsical country feel and decor, you are eating just as much with your eyes, as you are with your mouth. I tried the everything combo, with 4 meats and 2 sides, which included: brisket, wings, pulled pork and ribs. Along with fox-a-roni and potato salad. So delicious, tender and flavorful. This spot is also a 10/10! If you haven't been, you've need to try it out, and if you have been, stop by again!

    Went there to try the burger week burger which was a Smoked Jalapeño Popper Bacon Smash Cheeseburger. The burger itself was really good, minus the popper. The popper had too much cream cheese and was an interesting idea, but didn't work. I enjoyed my burger without it. Burger fell apart on me but it was still good. I also tried the brisket chili and the baked beans. Out of the two, I preferred the baked beans. I am a chili lover and I know some like a brisket chili but it didn't do anything for me. Decent flavor but it also felt like it was missing something. My bf had a regular smash burger minus their sauce which contained mustard. He instead got it with the jalapeño ranch sauce which he did like. His side was the mac and cheese which he was not a fan of. I am super picky with mac and cheese and hardly ever get it. You order at the front and then they'll bring you your food. Server was very nice. The restaurant is in a brewery kind of atmosphere. Has an indoor outdoor feeling when windows open. Very minimal but clean. Would return but I know what sides I would get.

    Every once in a while, I come across a business that I wish I could give more than five stars to in a review... and this spot is one of them. Went in on Valentine's Day night unexpected quite the wait but they ended up having an opening at the bar so we took it. The bartender was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and very patient and helpful with all my questions. They were out of pulled pork and chicken, but she told us the brisket was the best anyhow and the brisket definitely did not disappoint. I got the brisket sandwich with a side of potato salad and my dad got the barbecue brisket salad with a side of brisket chili. Everything was absolutely perfect. The taste was amazing, the texture was amazing, and we left there very full and happy. The restaurant itself is pretty fun with a good vibe and friendly and welcoming employees. The bathroom was in a little bit of disarray, but also it was Valentine's Day night so I'm sure they were slammed. I'm not in Atlanta very often, but I can promise you that if I'm ever back, I will definitely make this one of my first stops.

    A recommended spot for me to check out while visiting Atlanta. They were slammed which was a good sign. I sat at the bar which had immediate seating. Great atmosphere and decor inside. Staff were friendly especially the bartender who was also my server. Food came out in a flash after I ordered it. Got the brisket sandwich (chopped). It was delicious and well worth with the Lyft ride to get over here and back to my hotel. I rated 4 stars because I wasn't blown away by it, but I would certainly recommend checking it out if you haven't been here.

    Combo Plate
    Soojin K.

    My favorite was the brussel sprouts with feta. The brisket comes in 3 ways (lean, fatty, or chopped) and I chose the fatty brisket. It was really good till you got to the side bits which were drier than expected. The wings were so good. I got them tossed in spicy bbq. Overall a great dinner. The food came out so fast- within 5 minutes. The bartender gave great suggestions. The restaurant gives a classic bbq restaurant ambiance.

    My wife and I went to Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q. We were greeted with a smile sat immediately. Our server John T came over and took our order. He also made suggestions. We placed our order. My wife ordered the Bar-B-Q salad. I ordered the combo plate. We also ordered tater tots. Everything was delicious. The ambience was good. Our server John T came over several times to checking us. The manager came over also. We enjoyed the entire experience. We will return.

    Fox Bros. "Burger"
    Caleb D.

    One of the best "Burgers" I've ever had! Even when they look extremely busy the food comes out very quick, parking is a bit of a pain though. Can't wait to come back and try more

    fried pickles
    Prudence M.

    I like how creative the menu is here, which got me excited. The decor is nice and our server was knowledgeable about the menu and very friendly.. the fried pickles and the chicken fried ribs were good, but other than that, the food was WAYYY too salty. I had to send the chicken wings tossed in house dressing back for plain wings because the salt was overwhelming and not in a good way. The okra was salty. Tempered the salt down a bit with ranch dressing. And the the macaroni and cheese was not baked. its made kinda like velveeta shells but less flavorful.

    It's crazy that I'm just now trying Fox Bros BBQ for the first time. This place has always been talked about in such high regard, such fevor. I'm trying to figure out why. I ordered the spare ribs, pulled pork, and quarter kitchen. My girl ordered the pulled pork and the sausage. Everything was just subpar. The meat wasn't really flavored, wasn't super moist. The food tasted like it had been sitting out. Not sure if I'll go back anytime soon.

    Crowded tonight. 40 minute but worth the wait.
    Mary W.

    Great service. Clean restaurant. Parking is a hot mess during busy hours. Food is a phenomenal, I've had many different items. The Tominator is my go to item, however it is large enough for two people. The smoked wings are fantastic also. I bring out of town guest here for the BBQ experience. If good enough for Guy Fieri then it is good enough for me

    The Everything Plate
    Jake N.

    Fox bros has some of the best barbecue I've had. Not everything was perfect but there is so much good food that I had that I can't complain. The ribs were phenomenal. The ribs were solid, sticking to the bone, yet also so tender and juicy with just the right amount of fat. I don't like barbecue sauce as most places make it too sweet but these just had a light layer that didn't overpower at all. I ended up adding some of the spicy barbecue sauce which was delicious. One of the main highlights were the wings. I tried both the dry rub and sauces wings and both were incredibly crispy on the outside with a moist inside. Some of my favorite wings I've had. My favorite item which came as a surprise was the chicken. Most times when I get chicken at a barbecue place it's just chicken, but here I had the smokiest juiciest chicken I've had before. What really makes it better was the white sauce that my server recommended me to use with it. I had never had anything like this before and it just added so much more flavor to an already great dish. The moist brisket was the most disappointing thing I had. Moist brisket is my favorite barbecue item and this was just not wet enough or flavorful enough. It just seemed dried out especially on one half of the piece. The fries weren't good, not crispy or salted enough. The fried okra was a nice side to have. With how much they are doing right, I'd love to come back to experience some more meats and more sides that I didn't get to try on my first outing here.

    Brisket and ribs with coleslaw and Mac and cheese
    Timothy L.

    So so good! Really amazing bbq. I came here with a few friends and I ordered the brisket and ribs with cole slaw and Mac and cheese for the sides! My favorite was the brisket as it had such a nice smoky taste and just melts in your mouth. The ribs also had a nice coating to them too! I was worried they were going to be super busy but there was plenty of space and parking.

    What is the link to order tamales tomorrow morning at 10:00 and what is the price per dozen?

    Hi Jim, tamales can be purchased on our online shop at foxbrosbbq.myshopify.com but the actual link will not be available until it goes live at 10am. They are $22/chicken and $24/brisket. Good luck!

    Nope, they do not. But please don't let that stop you from going. It's really Awesome BBQ!🍖 🍗

    Is there indoor seating available or only outdoor?

    Yes there was indoor seating the other day when I was there. They were however out of pork ribs.

    What is the difference between sliced fatty and sliced thin for the beef brisket? Is it referring to the thickness of the slice or the amount of fat in the cuts?

    It's the cut of the brisket, do you want it lean or tasty (my opinion) but they must call it fatty. Now you've got me wanting it and I was going to be good this week

    Are dogs allowed on the patio?

    Yes, if they are chicken fried.

    Do they offer sweet tea?

    Yes and it's delicious!

    Do they allow small dogs inside the main dining area? Because I was there today, and there was a baby boomer couple eating dinner with their Maltese sitting in daddy's lap.

    No they dont normally maybe on the outdoor patio

    Is there an actual bar to sit at? Or just tables?

    There is an actual bar that seats about 10.

    Is everything smoked? I cant eat smoked food so I'm just wondering

    The water, the tea (I think), and the beer.

    Do they have a happy hour, if so what times?

    Yes, every Mon-Thurs 2:00pm - 6:00pm
