Saw this place on TikTok and was in the car within 10 mins to try. We loved it! Service was very kind, and quick to answer all questions. We loved the fusion of flavors. Our highlights were the meats: smoked wings, pulled pork, brisket (with the flaky salt), and the bahn mi. Also loved the banana pudding with a cinnamon kick! Loved the food and vibes. Will definitely be back. read more

Traveled from Virginia thinking of what we could eat that's good in the ATL. This place was outstanding, the food was some of the BBQ I have had down here, the service was great and helpful with selections. This place ranks up there with the big names but has most of them beat. Try it you'll love it... BSG, VA fans of the big G read more

Food was fantastic. Service was wonderful. The vibe was a cool punk artsy dive bar. Will definitely be back read more

This was my first food stop while in town visiting and it definitely didn't disappoint. Well, they sold out of brisket before I got to try any, so that was a little disappointing lol -- but no, what I got was so good that I literally ordered a second plate to go! The dry rub ribs were perfectly flavorful without being overly fatty, and the trio of bbq sauces were sublime. Having authentic collared greens in Atlanta was an item off my foodie bucket list, and to top it all off they were very knowledgeable and accommodating of my gluten and dairy allergy. I'd definitely go back if I ever had the opportunity! read more

Okay, it's a BBQ joint, only it's so much more! This spot was fantastic from the atmosphere to the service to the food. They cosplay as a dive bar, but they provide high-quality food and cocktails. They are the sister restaurant to Kimball House and it shows in their service. Pro tip: order the banana pudding! read more

So so happy I finally came to Gene's!! I didn't realize it was BBQ to be honest but was super happy to see the menu. And the number one takeaway I have from this place is that we have to come back! We showed up on Friday night around 8pm and we definitely waited a bit for a table around 30 minutes or so. Its like first come first serve and theres not a huge system for getting a table but it works out! Once seated the meal was great! I loved that they had trivial pursuit cards on the table as that made the meal so much fun! I got a genesicle without alcohol and that was such a fun and yummy drink! I definitely recommend. We also got some of the brisket beignets which was such a fun appetizer and delicious. The star of the show was the main meal though. With a friend I shared the brisket sandwich with mac and cheese and the shrimp roll with potato salad. The shrimp roll was super fresh and delicious and had tons of shrimp. The potato salad was slo great. The brisket sandwich was also great and I kind of loved that it didn't come with BBQ sauce because I enjoyed the vinegar sauce. The mac and cheese was also delicious but to me it needed some sharper cheese. To finish the meal we got some of the banana pudding and I don't like banana pudding but I really enjoyed this one!! (Probably because it wasn't too banana flavor but more creamy and I loved the biscoff pieces!) A delicious meal and a such a great spot to spend a Friday night. 10/10 read more

Delicious bbq! I got the pulled pork plate and my partner got the brisket plate, both came with a generous amount of meat; and the two sides filled the rest of the tray! Definitely recommend the Mac and cheese and the waffle fries sides. I personally really enjoyed the food, but the seasoning plus fixin's were not traditional (felt more "new age"), so it's not the best choice if you're looking for something more southern / soul food. However, no matter what, it was delicious. Servers were also so kind and nice, though service was a little sporadic. read more

I've passed this place several times and have been talking about trying it forever so I was super excited. It's super cute on the inside and the service was pretty good. The food was just kind of bad. I went in hungry after not really eaten today and I left almost just as hungry but with a hurt stomach. We got the pit master friens with brisket, brisket sandwich, and Philly cheesesteak. My bun on the sandwich was too roasted and somehow overpowered the taste of the brisket and sauce. I can't really explain why it was bad, it just was, and ruined my appetite. Super dissapointed, maybe I'd come back to get a drink at the bar. read more

I absolutely loved this place. Cool and quirky. Also felt clean ! Service was great, the server recommended so many good things to do on our trip to Atlanta. Decor was so amazing. Even the bathrooms were a work of art. The food was delicious. We got the shrimp roll, Mac and cheese, smoked chicken , turnip greens and coleslaw. The dessert was banana pie. It was all yummy . Came to the table very quickly too. We stayed in the area and walked to genes. read more

I love that this place lists what is vegetarian and vegan for a BQ place and that it is vegetarian friendly. However, I was a little disappointed with the service where we had to wait for a long time for the server to take order. I got tofu bahn mi with a side of waffle fries. which was delicious. I wish it was less breaded and it definitely filled me up and their portion was generous. Friends got a meat plate with two sides one of then being collard greens and that ended up being my favorite at the end of the day. read more

We can't believe we didn't know about Gene's when we lived in Old Fourth Ward. Crazy how just moving a couple miles changes where you explore the city. Anyway, Gene's is now a regular spot for us. If you're lucky, you can find a spot in their parking lot and walk in the back door; if not, there is street parking. We have that in all the different areas of the restaurant. We prefer the bar cause it's usually just my husband and me, but when friends or our fuebaby join us, we have sat outside and in the booth in the front room, where you can see into the kitchen. My favorite drink is the Bushwhacker. It's like a mix between a milkshake and an espresso martini. I can only have a couple of these, so if I drink another beverage, it's usually a vodka soda. My husband enjoys their variety of gin. I like that everyone helps everyone out. Service-wise, you have a main server, but other people will stop by and help you if you need it I like their wings. I've tried multiple sauces, but my favorite is the fish caramel sauce with ranch dressing. My husband loves the ribs. We usually get the slaw and the fantastic, delicious mac and cheese. The mac and cheese is very cheesy, with some nice breadcrumbs on top. read more

We got the three meat plate Pulled pork, ribs and brisket. Mac n cheese and potato salad Good price for what you get. The meats were all good. The Mac was delicious.

Came to Gene's for dinner and there is a free parking lot in the back and street parking which is always nice. We were sat almost immediately with no wait and service was great. Absolutely loved the vibes and decor of this place and service was so friendly. We ordered the fish sauce wings, 3 meat plate with brisket, ribs, and cheddarwurst, and the banana pudding. The fish sauce wings were good but not as fish saucy as I would think they should be. You could hardly tell these were fish sauce wings at all! Still good! The 3 meat platter was huge and we got waffle fries and mac and cheese. The waffle fries were amazing - definitely get these. The mac and cheese tasted like elevated box mac and cheese which I liked! The brisket was my favorite meat and I found the ribs to be fine. The cheddarwurst I didn't love as there was some seasoning to it that was no my favorite. The table has a few good sauces for your meats! The platter comes with tortillas which I didn't love but my friend did. The banana pudding was AMAZING! Even if you don't like banana pudding, it is a must get. The only downside was the nilla wafer garnishes smelled and tasted of garlic!! They likely absorbed the smell of garlic from the kitchen, but otherwise sooo good! I really liked Gene's and see myself coming back to try the other meats or sandwiches or a drink or two! read more

I've visited Gene's twice. Once on a quiet Sunday early evening and recently on a packed Friday night. The Sunday early evening was better. The best thing about Gene's is the vibe; it's a very feel-good space. My first visit was takeout - a small gumbo with potato salad, mississippi slaw and banana pudding. I had a small portion of gumbo which had a lot of turkey that tasted great, and the warm bit of potato salad tasted really good. My portion of gumbo was missing vegetables though, no okra, peppers, nothing. It was broth and turkey only. The mississippi slaw was fantastic. I love slaws and this mustard-based one was a surprise. I plan to make it for myself at home. The banana pudding was a disappointment; it was too fluffy, as if it had been whipped a bit too much. And flavor-wise, it was just sweet, not much banana or cookie in my portion. My second visit was dine in - brisket with potato salad and collard greens. I love the tortillas as the bread option, and I'm a sucker for pickled peppers and they were great. But the brisket was a huge disappointment. It looked so good but had no flavor. I was soooo sad about it! The potato salad tasted better warm (see gumbo above). The collards were the driest I've ever had, and this was not a bad thing; just different. The flavor on the collards was good, and I enjoyed the crispy garlic on top. I've had the frozen margarita and hurricane cocktails. The margarita was okay, but the hurricane was really good. But as much as I liked the Hurricane, $14 for a frozen drink is crazy. The people working here have an easy vibe. I've encountered a few of them, and all interactions were positive. Gene's must be a decent place to work. On my second visit, I stayed to eat and the person taking orders up front asked if I was dining alone and then left to see if they had a "space" for me. I knew there were empty tables, but I'm guessing that the person didn't want a solo diner taking a table. I hate this kind of policy (aka solo diners should sit at the bar only), and I don't use "hate" lightly. I sat at the bar but I had an attitude about it. At least the bar chairs have backs. The parking lot is small and easily fills up (other restaurants are in the same building.) There is also street parking available. I gave Gene's three stars because 3.5 isn't an option, I'm not a fan of that solo dining situation, the food is hit or miss and the price point for some things is a bit much. read more

Gene's - brisket with fresh herbs, pickled peppers, tortillas, collard greens and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The server was extremely uneducated on the menu. Any time we asked a question she said she didn't know or just guessed. We asked how much meat came on the brisket plate she was said "6-12oz I think". Big difference. Then She came back and said 6. I said ok so what if I get a 2 meat plate. She said "idk maybe half that". I asked her to confirm and she just responded "yeah probably just half" Which to me seemed off. But after going back and forth we just avoided the multiple meat plates. We ordered the kids food almost immediately and during a slow time. (Not even 1/4 full restaurant) it still took 40 mins to make 2 kids quesadillas with the worst premade mac and cheese ever. The noodles were over cooked, it was just a mushy clump. No texture or differentiating parts to the noodles. Just tasted like they ground up cheetos, mixed with Water for the "cheese sauce" and poured it over putty shaped noodles. We also ordered the ribs and fish sauce wings. And while labeled as basically the same the flavors were extremely different. The wings weren't horrible, at least edible. The ribs were super tough, dry, and extremely salty. Seemed they were cooked way too fast and dried out and didn't break down to get tender. When the server eventually came back we ordered a brisket sandwich and a pork bahn mi to avoid the meat amount portion issue. And explained the rib/mac issues. For sides we got the wedge salad and fries. The wedge salad was about as mediocre as you could expect and they made no effort in removing the core. I guess they took "wedge" to the fullest. The fries were par cooked as they were hot but far from crispy. Which leads me to the bahn mi sandwich which the bread was so hard I couldn't even bite it. Had they added that extreme crunch to the fries and softer bread it might have been edible. But unfortunate it wasn't. The brisket sandwich ended up being 60% fat for almost $20. Again like the ribs and every other dish it was all rushed. No attention to detail or trimming the brisket for a more enjoyable cut on the point side. The meat alone is marbled a 2in fat cap when served on a sandwich is unacceptable. We didn't take more than maybe 1 bite from each item and waited about 10-15 mins for the server to come by which during that time I reached out on ig sending over a picture of the brisket. Attempting to resolve it directly with the restaurant. The kitchen manager came out after talking to the server and acted as if he understood. Agreed fish sauce ribs are very salty/tough which part of being a good restaurant is taking those ingredients and knowing how to balance them out to make them taste more palatable. He offered to heat up more food but at that point we were tired and just couldn't see how the food would be any better that day. If the ribs are tough you can't fix that in 15 mins. If you agree the ribs are salty you're not making fresh sauce to resolve it and balance the flavor. As well as not making fresh Mac and cheese. It's being scooped out of a hotel pan that's probably made 2-3 days in advance. He claimed most people love the food and eat it all with no issue. But the 3 tables outside all took a few bites and requested boxes. If I'm enjoying my food I'm eating all If it or at least lost of it. So it's hard to believe most people love it. I think it's just location based and they are so active on social media it sells the impression they are busy and very good. Later the (I assume) owner responded on ig messenger apologizing and saying he wasn't at the store he was at an event. States to let him know next time I want to come in with the family and he would make it right. I explained I lived over an hour away so usually not I've there but made a special trip to try the food. 4 days later I found out id be in the area for work and reached out on ig again letting him know I'd be over there that id be happy to grab food to go to take home to the family for us to try since i would be at work and we wouldn't all be available. At that point he stopped responding and avoided me. read more

For the 4th of July, my wife and I wanted Bbq. We first went to community q and before we got in the door, they told us they were out of meat. Dang. It's 2:00pm ? Their food is good. My wife found Gene's and it was a new spot for us and we said let's do it !!!!! When we first walked in, we were like OKAYYY! This has a nice funky vibe to it and we could smell the bbq. They also provide d grilled tortillas ( bomb). Not your traditional southern bbq place. This is an American Southern, Cajun and Vietnamese cuisine. That's right !!! THE FOOD WAS THE BOMB.......the drinks are off the chain!!! We will be coming back ( 50 minute drive from my house ) The staff are super friendly and the patio is chill. Come on out and give it a try. read more

We ordered the meat plate, tofu banh mi and sides of waffle fries, mac and ch3ese, collard greens and slaw. Portions were generous but everything tasted average. It's good spot to hang with friends but there's better bbq in town by a mile. Also do not.get the banana pudding. Not good, too artifical sweet tasting read more

This place was so cute and the food was amazing!! This is our second time in Atlanta visiting some family and they wanted to show us a new BBQ spot. Absolutely did not disappoint! I'm a huge fan of Asian flavors so I loved the subtle inclusions like cilantro and fish sauce to the dishes. The Asian flavors aren't super pronounced, but if you know it's there you can really appreciate the fusion of it! Highly recommend the brisket (#1 favorite for me), ribs (boyfriend's favorite), and the waffle fries (arguably the best side dish we had during our trip. 11/10 crunchy crispy seasoned fries). Will note that the potato salad was more on the mustardy side if you care at all (I do). Also the drinks and the server were amazing on top of it all. Definitely the spot to try! read more

It's not traditional barbecue, but it's fabulous in its own way. We tried a lot of things, but our favorites were the brisket with the tortillas, the potato salad, the chili oil carrots, and the fish sauce wings. Our server was really nice, and I personally really loved the character of the decorations! It felt so cute in there. I'll definitely be back. But again, definitely don't come in expecting traditional barbecue! It's completely different and delicious in its own right read more

A snarky dive bar all done up to look like a true Cajun hootenanny, Gene's is a great new neighborhood spot. We stopped in on a weeknight and were pleased by this spot's punk-meets-po'boy aesthetic and menu. We started with a couple delicious margaritas served up by the friendly bartender and followed that up with a delicious and generous vodka martini. For snacks, we couldn't pass up sharing the nice vegan banh mi (a Viet-Cajun shoutout), although their menu of bbq goodies looked equally as delicious. A great spot for elevated drinks and unassuming eats, Gene's is a winner. read more

Overall, really loved the food and vibe and for sure would go back. We sat at the bar and the service was pretty solid. Could have been a little more attentive at the beginning but over all sufficient service. For drinks - every drink we got was great, strong, and came out fast. They batch make their drinks which I am all good with as long as they are good and strong, which was the case. For food - we got the wings, 3 meat (brisket, chicken, and ribs) and two sides (potato salad, mac and cheese) platter. The brisket melted in my mouth, the chicken was HUGE , perfectly spiced , and came with a great Alabama white sauce. The ribs were also great and fell off the bone. The wings were very solid. The Mac and cheese had great flavor and I'm still dreaming about the potato salad (as someone who is picky about potato salad). As for the vibes, eclectic New Orleans theme with memorable character read more

Ordered the Crispy Pork Banh Mi with waffles fries, so good. Place is always busy during weekend nights but honestly it's worth the wait.

Some of the best barbecue I've had! A cool spot in east lake. Very casual. Just order at the counter and find a spot. They bring the food out when it's ready. You order drinks at the front counter too. They do also have staff walking around once you are seated if you want more drinks/food/etc so you don't have to go back up to the front counter to order again. We sat on the back patio and it was perfect for a nice fall day. They have a pretty big cocktail menu with quite a few yummy frozen options. We got the frozen marg and the bushwacker. Both were really good! We ordered the pulled pork plate with slaw and Mac as well as an egg roll. The pulled pork was amazing! So flavorful. I loved their take on slaw too! So unique and absolutely delicious. The Mac was super creamy and tasty. I'll be back for the biscoff banana pudding! read more

Give Chase a raise lol! He was friendly and helpful! (: Food was great! I got the shrimp roll (highly recommend) and potato salad. Bf got pulled pork sandwich and mac & cheese which he enjoyed. The banana pudding, which we split, is as good as everyone says; lots of cookie and banana in there. They don't have a lot of options for soda or sides and it's a little on the pricier side, but we still enjoyed everything and it was satisfying. The music was very nice, great picks + not too loud, and the lighting in the place was pleasant rather than garish or flourescent. We got a comfy booth. The decor is super fun. The bathrooms are very accessible and at least one of them has a blacklight so your clothes glow, lol! read more

"GOTO" items on the menu is the smoked chicken, ribs, potato salad, and greens! Service awesome!

Holy Cow - Gene's blew me away! We stopped by around 5:45 pm on a Wednesday and it was already busy. We were able to grab 2 seats at the bar. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu. The 3 meat combo plate with 2 sides jumped out as a good opportunity to taste the menu. We opted for pulled pork, brisket, and chicken skewers with corn and green goddess potato salad. The plate was served with delicious handmade tortillas, fresh herbs and pickled veggies. It was so good! The chicken skewers had an Asian flair, and I thought they were delicious. I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu! read more

Saw this place on TikTok and I was immediately hooked when I saw Jell-O shots on the menu! I had no idea what to really expect here, but I think in hindsight there was a method to the madness. This is definitely a casual spot, a good place to stop and have a casual dinner before going out! Gene's gets pretty packed on the weekend and if you plan to come on a weekend there will be a line. However, they have a system to where you wait about 30 minutes in line (if it's packed) and while you're waiting you order your drink in line. I think this was smart and kind of helps pass the time while waiting. Once you get inside , you'll order at the counter! Unfortunately, they were out of some of the items I saw online that I was really excited to try, so I would probably get there earlier if there's something you're eyeing. My friends and I got the two meat plate. The ribs were the star of the show for me. I felt the Brisket could've had a little more flavor, but the sauce options are delicious! I wasn't super impressed with the sides, but they weren't bad! I liked the Macaroni & Cheese the most! I think the portions are good to share with someone else! The star of the show for me was this frozen drink called the "Buschwaker" , it was sweet and had a malt flavor. It was really good! read more

This is no way a BBQ place and need to be fined for false advertisement. My half rack of ribs were boiled with no seasoning or flavor, had some kind of red flavorless sauce on it. The sauce options on the table are vinegar or a sweet chilli. I asked the waitress for BBQ sauce and she scoffed at me as if I insulted her mother. I'm sorry, but in the south, the meat is smoked, not boiled. And should be seasoned. She offered me honey mustard dipping sauce and ranch, and then followed up by saying they have a white bbq sauce. I'm not a barbecue food connoisseur, but I know ribs should be grilled or baked with seasoning and you should offer patrons a variation of a BBQ sauce. I attempted to mix the vinegar and sweet chilli sauces together to make something palatable yet couldn't finish two dried ribs. The coleslaw was made from purple cabbage which was creative, but also lacked flavor. The other parties at the table complained that the black colored collard greens were tasteless, fries over cooked and sandwhiches were bland. No one finished their food. Needless to say, the dog got a special meal that night from everyone's leftovers. We will not be returning nor recommend this establishment as a bbq spot. I'm assuming all of these positive reviews are from employees or friends because there was another large party behind us, complaining of the same issues. read more

Great experience, quirky and eclectic decor, and yummy food! Found the place off an IG recommendation and was excited to try it out. I sense a NOLA theme and I love NOLA. Upon arriving, we saw them smoking some of the meats outside. Inside, we were greeted right away and seated. I ordered the burger and waffle fries and my bf had the platter with brisket, ribs, boudin, potato salad and macaroni. Loved my order! I got the single patty and it was quite filling. Waffle fries had crispy outside and super soft inside. Plus, they were well seasoned. I tasted the brisket and boudin. To me, the brisket was good but my bf thought it was a bit dry. I'm not a fan of boudin anyway, so didn't love that. The potato salad was a surprise. It was much different from what I'm used to, but it works. I really enjoyed it. I also enjoyed the mac. For dessert, they had two of my faves so we ordered both lol. We had the s'mores bread pudding and banana pudding. While both were great, the banana pudding absolutely stole the show...just as our waitress mentioned! The s'mores bread pudding was really rich, and I tasted more chocolate than anything. I would have preferred it be a bit more wet with distinct graham cracker flavor and marshmallow texture. Overall, still a great experience and I would definitely return! read more

An elevated BBQ spot.. So let's start with appearance. Walking in it is fun and very retro looking, staff gave a warm welcome and it smelled pretty good! Our server was very friendly and had good recommendations on the menu. We ordered a boudin egg roll, it was decent but fell a bit flat in seasoning. For dinner I ordered the 2 meat combo with brisket and ribs and sides of potato salad and greens. The brisket had good seasoning and flavor. The ribs tasted great but were undercooked and silver skin was still on them making each bite a chore. And why are you covering bbq with cilantro?! The sides were ok, nothing spectacular. Took banana pudding home and it was fairly average. A couple simple mistakes in the food (cook times/seasoning) that if fixed would make it incredible. read more

My fiance and I really wanted to like this place and were excited to try it because of all the great reviews we'd been seeing, but we left pretty disappointed. They batch all of their cocktails and wouldn't make a drink (what we wanted was on the menu and only has three ingredients) when they had apparently run out pretty early in the evening (about 6:30 p.m.). Batching cocktails isn't the worst thing ever and it wasn't a deal breaker for me, but I wish they had made us the drink since it's a simple recipe and it's just the hospitable thing to do. The fish dip was good but for $17 it wasn't something we'd write home about. The seasoned crackers it came with were yummy! We had the pulled pork, brisket, mac n cheese and potato salad. The pulled pork and potato salad were good, but the brisket was dry, and the mac n cheese tasted like plastic or something left in the fridge for too long. The cheese was dumped on top of the mac instead of being mixed throughout, so it's like a pile of plastic on top of overcooked pasta. I could only take a couple bites. The sauces were good, but I wish there was a more classic flavor option. There was a thicker one that tasted like someone had been very thoughtful about including it as an option, with notes of coffee or chocolate. To me, it was more of a fun flavor to try for a few bites, but I definitely was craving a more classic BBQ sauce flavor. The vinegar sauce was a bit boring compared to the other sauce; it really just tasted like plain vinegar. The vibe is good inside, and the service wasn't bad. Overall, we won't be going back. For much better BBQ, try Georgia Boy down the street, where the brisket melts in your mouth, or Das BBQ for the best in town, in our opinion. read more
