Fried crap
Scott B.

Food is horrible. Fried pickles are cooked in a bed of soggy heavy breading which is more like funnel cake batter and not in a good way. Pull chicken has zero flavor. Burger might as well be a bubba burger. Chicken fingers are frozen. How hard is it to bread your own chicken fingers...guess I should have know by the pickles. Coleslaw came from a can. Ribs were the only edible item and they were a 5/10. How has this place been around for as long as it has???

Convenient location. Happy waitresses. Food was hot. Service was quick. Just an unusual bbq restaurant that sells hunting stuff like pocket knives, gun boxes, boots and such. Barbecue was more vinegary than sweet, but good. Just the right amount to go with my baked sweet potato. Had to take off a star because waitress went to her next task and forgot to get me a fresh ice tea to go. When I got up to the register to ask for her, she came to apologize and got me the tea. But that was waiting for about 5 mins. Oh well, life goes on.

The country folks here are sweet as pie. The decor is awesome and there's even a train going around the whole top border of the restaurant. The food is good too! I give their sweet tea a 7/10 Bc it could've been stronger and sweeter it was a tad watery for my taste. The prices are also very reasonable. We will be back weekly I'm sure!

Great BBQ and people. It's tough to compete in BBQ in this area because there are a number of very good places to eat. This is the best!

Dry, cold and unflavored meats. Terrible experience. Worst restaurant of my life. Hospital food is better, but excellent service.

They're consistently delicious, budget friendly, & the portion sizes are decent too. This is a true take out spot where you order ya food and go.

Upon entering the store, I was disappointed that you can't see the food. It's not like a cafeteria with the food warming up front. Decided on the baked chicken plate that comes with rice and two sides. Added a drink - the mango lemonade. All for about $18 plus tax. They only have banana pudding for dessert. Was looking forward to peach cobbler or cakes even. Service counter was pleasant and worked quickly as more customers arrived. The restaurant is a takeout but they have a grass wall for photo opportunities on the Gram. The food: The chicken quarter was seasoned well and tasty. The rice was a bit under cooked and tough. The green beans were done with lots of garlic and sautéed. I liked it but I could see how my son didn't. The macaroni and cheese was underwhelming. There was no seasoning or flavor. It tasted smoky and a bit chalky. The mango lemonade was a hit. Overall, I'd try other plates like the salmon and the Soul Roll. Glad to have some other comfort food options in Cobb as well.

Owens & Hull in Smyrna, GA, has garnered attention for its authentic Southern Texas barbecue…read moreexperience in Georgia. They even made the top 3 list of BBQ places to eat in the US. The restaurant has a laid back vibe, perfect for families and groups. There is plenty of space for even larger groups and I noticed a number of business people enjoying the setup. The pulled pork are standout items, known for their tenderness and rich flavors. The smoking process appears to be a point of pride, with many customers noting the perfect level of smokiness. I also had the smoked cheeseburger which I highly recommend. Sides like mac and cheese, coleslaw, and baked beans complement the meats well. The mac and cheese, in particular, receives rave reviews for its creamy texture. Owens & Hull BBQ stands out for its commitment to quality barbecue in a welcoming environment. Whether you're a local or just passing through Smyrna, it's a spot worth visiting for barbecue lovers.

Hands down the best brisket I've had in Atlanta -- consistently tender, packed with flavor, and perfectly seasoned. It's so good it honestly doesn't even need sauce, but the sauce is an excellent finishing touch that takes it over the top. The employees are always courteous and helpful with knowledgeable recommendations. The ambience is casual and laid-back, giving it the perfect neighborhood BBQ joint vibe. Even though the location is a bit off the beaten path, it's absolutely worth the trip. If you're serious about great BBQ, this place should be on your list.

Thankfully it wasn't too busy and they were happy to push a couple of tables together in the add-on dining room. The staff worked together as a team to bring out the food quickly and they regularly checked in with us to clear empty plates and ensure we had everything we needed. I ordered the sampler and thought the ribs were the best. I also really like the Mac-n-cheese side dish and almost wished I'd order a second serving. Their version of coleslaw favors the vinegar while I'm more in the creamy sweet camp, but it was still nice. Their BBQ sauce has a noticeable heat, and they offer a selection of sauces to suit other tastes. The sausage is a mild variety with a mealy texture, and garnished with sautéed onions and bell peppers. The chicken, pulled pork, and brisket I would have preferred in a wetter style (they were NOT dry, just toward the dry side of the wet/dry scale) and the brisket was nicely marbled with a good crust. Plates were served with a thick slice of bread, pats of butter, and crunchy dill pickles slices.

Amazing brisket!!! I got the brisket platter, which comes with 2 sides, and my man got the bowl…read morewith meat & beans & fritos. The collards were good but the only thing that needs much work is the mac & cheese (very bland). They offer a great variety of sauces as well.

The short: I give this place 5 stars for perfect customer service and delicious smoked meats…read more The long: I went in not sure what I wanted. I was having guest over and didn't have time to cook so I wanted to treat them to local BBQ. I explained this to the gentleman taking orders (turns out he was the owners brother) and he notified me of a family meal that I didn't see on the menu. The family meal is 2 half chickens and two large sides. Perfect, I added a lb of rib tips, two extra sides, and corn bread and it was perfect for my little gathering, The food was decent. The rib tips and smoked chicken had a good smoked flavor but not much season beyond that. But the house BBQ sauce was so good to dip the meats into, I like that the sauce is served on the side. Personally, I prefer well seasoned smoke meats. This was not that but the meat and sauce together was a delicious combo. Even my toddler son who likes to eat but is particular with meats ate it up and asked for more. My guest also enjoyed the meal too. Our sides were Mac and cheese, green beans, potato salad, and honey cornbread. I loved the cornbread and green beans. The green beans tasted fresh and were very well seasoned and cooked down in a rich broth. The cornbread was crumby but it had such a good sweet and corny flavor.
