WAS THIS A HIT OR MISS ???…read more It was a HIT I have been dying to try this place out for years and I figured I planned a lunch with a friend so we could spend the afternoon chitchatting and this was the perfect spot. So we were warmly greeted and then taken to a quiet table in the corner that had the whitest tablecloths. It looked rather chic Then we had the best server. She checked on us numerous times, didn't rush us and offered suggestions. She kept our table clear of mayhem from empty plates and glasses. Now the food was delicious. It was so good. The chicken was moist and the outside was crispy. The mashed potatoes melted in my mouth. Plus, we had a slice of 7up cake for dessert. I high recommend this place. They have valet parking that is only $2. Great place to visit. Until next time.

The food definitely tastes homemade, and everything arrives hot and fresh. I've visited twice now,…read moreand the quality has been consistent both times. Their breads and jams are particularly delicious, but my absolute favorite--and the most pleasant surprise--was the fried green tomatoes with goat cheese. They were incredible! For my entrees, I've tried the blue crab quiche and the frittata. Both were decent, though the crab quiche could have used a bit more flavor. My guests really enjoyed their orders, including the Springer Mountain chicken, Nashville bites, and the farm egg hash. Overall, it's a solid spot--clean and modern, with great baked goods and reliable service. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu.

My faves here are the pork rinds - dipped in the sauce- house made sausage and St. Louis style ribs top my list - and as of last night I added the brisket grilled cheese. A BBQ sandwich is always on time also. Sides are really good - I recommend the Mac n cheese, Collards and House Chips - but sometimes I'm in the mood for the salted fries . Service is pretty good, and friendly - i absolutely recommend you give it a shot if you're in the area. It won't disappoint.

The service was fine. However, the BBQ we had was not worth eating, at least what could be chewed…read moreand eaten. We had brisket and a rack of ribs. The brisket was good flavor wise, but we had one piece that was 95% fat (the only moist piece) the others were very dry. The ribs were so tough that you couldn't get the meat off the bone and I don't particularly care for gnawing on bones. Please find another place to go for barbecue!

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!

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.

I spent 15 minutes on their website putting the perfect food order together. Their website is…read moretrash, designed by an amateur. The categories are clunky. There is no pricing listed until you're like 3 clicks deep. Total trash. Once I got to my cart, put in my credit card details, I click pay and nothing. No error message, no request for more information, no we closed, something I forgot, nothing. It just didn't work. They wasted my time and I will never try to order online. I went in person to eat and the food was bad and the service was bad. Don't eat here until they start to take pride in the business they are running.

They haven't made any renovations or updates since it was quite old looking, but the food quality has stayed the same. You used to be able to get complimentary rolls and cornbread muffins but now they charge. We still got a basket since the muffins are literally the best thing here. I wasn't too hungry and it was a rainy day, so I got a bowl of their white chicken chili. It was just what I needed and hit the spot. Our server was Dulce and took great care of us - also her name suits her well because she was sweet lol.

Roasters may not always be in the conversation for the best chicken joints in Atlanta, but it…read moreshould be. Granted, that conversation is usually premised on fried chicken vs. rotisserie, but they can definitely hold their own for tender, juicy chicken. You can choose 1/2 or 1/4 chicken options with dark or white meat, but I my go-to is the pulled white meat plate for an easy-to-eat meal. Their house barbecue sauce is great, with just a little sweetness. They have a wide variety of comfort food sides like broccoli-cauliflower casserole and sweet potato soufflé so a hearty veggie plate is always an option there. And if you like your cornbread on the sweeter side theirs is a good as you'll find anywhere. Space-wise they have a large indoor dining area as well as a patio for nicer days. They have a few TVs on the wall so it's a good spot if sports are on. Service is consistently friendly and food comes out quickly. Parking for the center they are in is often crowded, but additional spots are available up the hill. Give them a try the next time you're craving some chicken and I'll bet you'll be back again soon.

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.

Most importantly it is expensive and brisket is not juicy enough. Turkey is good and so is sausage. I spent $70 on meats but I had to beg for breads which are not given out. No sides included as well. Also as I was the only customer - I was surprised I had to wait. In fact staff was more interesting in joking with each other than serving me.

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!
