Had some free time and invited the family to join me for some BBQ. Having lived in Austin, my standards are really high when it comes to the smoked protein. Lewis didn't disappoint! First when you enter, you have a chance to peruse the board to prepare yourself for the upcoming stations. The staff explained very really well and were all quite friendly. My daughter and I sampled the brisket and were sold with the juiciness. We got a chopped brisket sandwich, sliced brisket sandwich and hubby opted for the turkey sandwich. Pleased to have green beans and greens without pork (or any meat) that were nicely seasoned. The mac and cheese was ok if you like yours more creamy than baked. We'll be back! read more

I ate here for the first time yesterday and I enjoyed my food. The food is pricey the way it's set up à la carte but I knew that going in. I spent about $40 for 4 sides, a sandwich and a drink to give you an idea. I like how all the sides are not made with meat so I was able to get an actual veggie for once at a BBQ spot since I don't eat beef or pork. However, they make their fries and chicken wings in beef tallow so there's that. The only entree I can actually eat is the smoked turkey sandwich as every other entree is beef or pork, but the sandwich was yummy Don't sleep on the Green Chile Corn Pudding either However, their setup is flawed. You come in and pick your sides first and then they slice your meats and everything down at the end, last of all. The meats take the longest so by the time I got to pick my meat, my sides had been scooped and sitting on my tray getting cold and lukewarm. So my sandwich was warm and my sides were not. This was kind of irritating and my daughter had already peeped this as we were standing in line waiting for our sandwiches with our sides on a tray getting cooler and cooler. The line was long and this will likely be the case a lot of the time so this doesn't work well. My daughter had a special order of beef taquitos that had to come out later so you know her sides were cold. When she requested new sides or to warm them up she was met with an attitude by one of the workers so that didn't go over well. This was weird to us because the food shoud be warm at the very least, so customer service was lacking there but they did honor her request. If they are going to keep this cafeteria line style setup, we all thought the meats and entrees should be first and then sides so as to avoid having lukewarm or cold sides because all four of us had cold sides by the time we sat down after getting get our drinks and sauces and stuff. And sides should come out together with the special orders so the food is not cold. But hey, I know I'm not Lewis, but yall got my two cents anyway Overall, we had delicious food in a nice, clean establishment. And on the plus side, the Beltline is literally a few steps away! read more

Honestly can't believe I waited this long to try this place but i did. Such a great casual spot with tons of seating. They do cafeteria style ordering down a line and you start free toppings so free pickles, pickled onion or raw onions. We did the pickles and pickled onion which were DELISH. We got the chips and queso as a starter which had these delicious thick tortilla chips and a DELICIOUS queso. For the entree we tried a bunch. We did el Sancho loco style which me and my friend agree the sausage and brisket are amazing (which they give you a taste of brisket while ordering!) but the pork was alright. Sandwich was great with all the sauce which I loved all of them but shoutout to the tangy and hatch chile sauce. We also tried the smoked wings which were SO tender and flavorful and sides of Mac and cheese and fries. I think the fries are nothing special but the Mac??? Amazing. Delicious meal and I will be back!!! read more

First time at Lewis BBQ and food was delicious, portion was large enough to share between two of us. Ordered the brisket which was very good, weren't huge fans of the hatch green chile sausage. Mac n cheese was great and portion size was great! We weren't fans of any of the 4 sauces but that's alright. Cost about $40 for the tray so definitely a treat yourself type of spot! read more

This is the best barbecue in Atlanta now. I had the chopped brisket, Mac and cheese, and greens. I touched up the greens and Mac with hot sauce, but it was good without it as well. The brisket was juicy, tender, slightly fatty in the best way, and seasoned to perfection. The place is spacious, and the ordering system made quick with of the mid sized line upon arrival. The staff was friendly and generous with their samples and recommendations. I don't have a single complaint. The next time I'm in town, I'm making a beeline to Lewis BBQ. read more

Lewis BBQ never disappoints I've been to all three Lewis Barbecue locations now, and this one in Atlanta--and I'm happy to say the food here is just as good as the OG. All the meats were cooked and smoked beautifully--super tender and packed with flavor. The sides were just as tasty and really completed the meal. Definitely recommend giving it a try! read more

Lewis Barbecue - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

The barbecue is delicious. The staff will walk you through the process. One tip: go for the fatty brisket not the lean. The wings are crispy and topped with a white sauce and lime. The collard greens and Mac and cheese make great sides. You will think the single is too small, it's not. You will be full, or at least I was. This is pricey BBQ so be prepared to pay more than a simple combo price. Everything is ala carte but not tapas priced. I may be back but it won't be often. I love a good deal. read more

This place is expensive but well worth it. Also, You have to park in a strip mall and take a breeze way to the back to find this place. Place is big on the inside and really clean. I ordered Bisket mixed, greens, ribs, and green chile sausage. The pickled pickles and onions help clean the taste buds. The greens are decent. Brisket is really good. Ribs are very good as well. Green Chile sausage is loaded with juices and cheese. The food is amazing but I cannot eat like this too often. read more

My lovely bride and I stopped in for lunch on the Fourth of July. The place was busy! We love their rack of ribs and their chopped brisket sandwiches. All of the sides are quite good, although the set up allows your sides to get cold while they prepare and serve your meat selection. The only disappointments were the cowboy beans (they were bland and slightly undercooked) and the green chile burger (the green chiles were not fresh and lacked flavor). Pleasant ambience and excellent customer service. A bit on the pricey side but worth it. Recommended. read more

I'm gonna come right out the gate and say these guys do some of the best brisket I've ever tasted in my life. Like I legit crave it randomly throughout the day. The turkey is also decent, as is the mac and cheese and green beans. The only thing I'm not wild about are the beans, they kinda suck. But let's talk about that brisket again... read more

One of the best BBQ spots in ATL - I did a back to back brisket taste test with another highly rated spot (hint: it's korean fusion) and Lewis was far better in my opinion. More moist, better salted, and better flavor. My main critique with Lewis' brisket is that the texture is a little lacking. The brisket didn't necessarily hold together well when I started to cut it. It kinda just started to fall apart. The green chile corn pudding was alright - I wish it had more of a kick and a bit stronger flavor. For ATL, this is 5 star BBQ that is more along the lines of Texas style BBQ, but I think by Texas standards, this is mid/upper-mid range BBQ (still good by any means, but competition in Texas is tough). I took my order to-go and they packaged it very well! The meat was wrapped in parchment paper, and then wrapped again in saran wrap. All the sauces were labeled and we were given a plentiful amount of sauce. The OG sauce is good! Would recommend that one for sure. Despite my strong opinions, I would still return to Lewis to try more of their meats. It is, after all, probably the best BBQ in ATL and is the closest I can get to a taste of home. Glad that some real BBQ has finally landed here! read more

Lewis Barbecue - Sliced Brisket (1lb) - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

This is our new BBQ spot! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, cooked to perfection, and absolutely delicious. The lean brisket is honestly the best I've ever had. We also tried the sausage, and it was just as good. I can't recommend this place enough. The mac and cheese was extra cheesy with a perfect baked layer on top. The green beans and collards weren't our favorite, both had a strong vinegar taste. But I'm not deducting any stars because the rest of the meal was that good! There's plenty of free parking in the large strip mall lot. Plenty of outside seating. We ordered online for a 3:30 pickup time, arrived at 3:25, and our order wasn't ready until 4:00 -- but it was worth the wait. read more

What a treat! Love the buffet style food service line where you can see everything in front of you and choose what you want from there! All the meats I ordered were scrumptious! The hot guts sausage, the chopped brisket and the pork ribs. I will say the pork ribs were super fatty, so maybe an opportunity with trimming the meat a bit more. Also bummed we didn't get to try the turkey (was sold out), as I hear it's a fan fave! Pro Tip: order the green chile corn pudding! Actually order 2!! read more

Lewis Barbecue - Brisket, ribs, Mac and cheese, collard greens, potato salad - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Lewis Barbecue is some of the BEST BBQ in town. The second you step out of the car, that smoky, "oh yeah... I'm in the right place" smell hits you and it's game over. And let's talk about the sides!!!! because a lot of BBQ spots crush the meat but treat the sides like an afterthought. Not here. The sides are fully starring in the show right alongside the BBQ. The staff is also a huge part of why this place stays top-tier. Everyone is super friendly from the moment you walk in, and they're constantly keeping the dining area spotless...clearing trays, wiping tables, and somehow appearing exactly when you need something. At one point they even noticed we needed a to-go box before we did. That kind of service deserves a slow clap. This was my third visit, and I already know it won't be my last. Lewis's has me in a BBQ chokehold...in the best way. read more

While downtown Atlanta, I decided to check out the new Lewis Barbecue at Ansley Mall. I arrived around 11:40 a.m., thinking I might beat the lunch rush. No such luck--but the line was only to the door and not yet outside, so I felt pretty fortunate. As you enter, menu boards are clearly posted along with the day's specials. Drinks are on ice while you wait in line, just like the great Texas BBQ joints. The first stop is choosing your sides (corn pudding and a hunk of cheese for me), along with complimentary pickles and onions if you want them. From there, you move down to the meat counter. The staff was friendly, happy to answer questions, and--since this was my first visit--kind enough to offer a sample. I ordered a brisket sandwich and was asked if I preferred lean or fatty. Naturally, I went with a little of both. The brisket absolutely lived up to the hype--some of the best I've ever had, if not the best. My only regret was visiting solo, which meant choosing carefully. Next time, I'm bringing others so we can sample more meats and sides. Well done, Lewis Barbecue--and thank you for bringing a true taste of Texas to Atlanta with some awesome southern hospitality with your excellent service and staff. read more

Ok, so I was super hyped to try this place & I'm going to give my honest opinion. The line was long...so I'm super hyped at this point! Well that was only because the service flow is not the best. Our sides sat on the counter with multiple people hovering over the food as it got cold. The photo is my friends order: My order: sliced brisket (fatty & lean) Scale 1-10 .....5 Too salty, wasn't tender, no real smoky flavor. I love brisket, I'm being nice with a 5. Potato Salad Scale 1-10 .....5 Wayyyy too much vinegar (they are heavy on vinegar on all of their sides just fyi) It had the crunch of celery people love in potato salad, but just way too much vinegar. Chile corn pudding Scale 1-10....10!!!! Would I recommend this spot to a friend...probably not. Overall rating, food, service, & pricing included ...6.5/10 But I compare everything to Terry Black's. read more

Lewis Barbecue - Green beans Mac n cheese Coleslaw Collard Greens Chopped Brisket Potato salad - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Two statements to preface my review: 1) I'm not from a BBQ state, so I'm completely unbiased, and 2) I spent August trying every BBQ place in Atlanta to help my friend choose a birthday party caterer. Now that admission is out of the way: Wow, this is the only place I want to get BBQ from now on. Within 2 weeks of opening, Lewis Barbecue has nailed service, food quality and an amazing experience. The menu is clear and easy, with a great range of meat and sides options (and more dishes to come soon). The line moves quickly; from door to counter took us 11 minutes on a Friday lunchtime. Every single worker we came into contact with was super friendly, and seemed to really love their job. We were handed samples of brisket, fries and turkey, as we walked through the line from sides to proteins to cashier. Everything is placed directly on a paper-lined tray, and if you're sharing then they give you an extra piece of the paper to put on the table. Sides are in compostable paper containers. Now to the dining area; there's ample indoor and outdoor seating, with several large tables with benches so multiple small groups of diners can share a larger space. There are no trash areas, but the servers clear as people leave, so tables are always clear and clean. Utensils, napkins and sauces are by the soda fountains. Look carefully at the silver urns on the counter to find the 4 sauce options. Spoiler alert: I loved the secret sauce best. Mustardy and zingy. The beef & cheese sandwich was amazing and great value. There had to be 6oz of shaved prime rib in there, and the pickles and queso gave it a perfect bite. The smoked turkey is my favorite of the proteins - it's firm, moist and has a perfect smoke. Sides-wise, the green beans stewed in tomato/vinegar were amazing. I don't love potato salad but Lewis' changed my mind; the skin-on red potatoes with green onions and celery in a mayo-based vinegar dressing had a great creamy crunch. I'm actually shocked that everything works so smoothly so soon after opening - and that just one meal has put Lewis Barbecue at the very top of my list for BBQ in Atlanta. I'll be back next week to try the ribs and mac & cheese, after our table-neighbors "mmmmm"'d their way through their order. Bottom line: Go. Queue. Eat the samples. Find your favorite sides and sauce. Enjoy the service and atmosphere. Congrats, team Lewis, and welcome to ATL! read more

I found this place on Instagram and the minute I saw the food on the post, I was intrigued. Stopped here on a weekday with my husband to try their food. It's a casual restaurant and has plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There's also plenty of parking in the large parking lot out front. When you walk in, you can see a menu board with all of their options and they also have a menu board with daily specials. They load up your tray with the sides you select and then you move down the line to select your meat options. The service was fast and the staff was very friendly, greeting us as soon as we walked in. They also gave us a sample of their sliced brisket. We were able to enjoy their chopped brisket with their complimentary pickles, onions, and pickled onions. The brisket is tender and very flavorful...melts in your mouth. For our sides, we had their cowboy beans, collard greens, and mac & cheese. We appreciated that their beans are vegetarian since some bbq places cook theirs with pork. All three sides were tasty. We will definitely be back when we're in the mood for good barbecue again. read more

Lewis Barbecue - Chopped brisket with Mac and cheese, collard greens, and cowboy beans. Complimentary sides: pickles, onions, and pickled onions - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

I'm writing this on opening day for the Atlanta outpost of Lewis Barbecue. This is the third location of this restaurant with the others in Greenville and the original in Charleston. I've only been to the Charleston location and this Atlanta location in the lunch rush by all indicators is going to do just fine if it can keep up with the high standards set by the original Lewis Barbecue. The line wrapped around the front and moved pretty quickly. Service was efficient and friendly with cold and hot sides offered first, then barbecue before being turned over to a cashier. It seems like the team has worked out their kinks ahead of opening day, so all the system awkwardness has been ironed out before today. I went solely with the sliced USDA prime beef brisket ($35/pound). It was absolutely perfect. Marbled, melt in your mouth goodness that you can cut effortlessly with a plastic fork and knife. The tallow fries and mac and cheese (each $5) were a nice accompaniment. The meal comes with dill pickles, pickled red onions, white onions and bread. There are daily specials at this location and what looks to be nachos and tacos with barbecue coming soon. I'm looking forward to sampling those on my return. But for opening day, a pitch perfect performance with food and service! read more

The meat/BBQ was excellent. We tried the brisket sandwich and sliced lean brisket. The Cole Slaw was also amazing, but the beans were ok. I prefer more traditional sweet baked beans. The a la carte ordering/service style was a bit annoying. I wish there was a traditional plate option with some meat and sides. This seemed to make it more expensive. The restaurant and employees were nice and helpful. It is in the back of a dated shopping center. read more

This is a little difficult to find. It's hidden behind the grocery store. The staff were great. The brisket, pulled pork, and ribs were all great! The Mac n cheese and fries were just okay.

WOW!!! I have to admit that I didn't want to like this place. We have a couple BBQ places closer to where we live(within 10 min) that we really enjoy. And now there is LEWIS BBQ(about 25/30 min away). And it is going to be VERY hard not to go directly to visit LEWIS...so we will go back sooner than later. We arrived on a Friday around 12:15PM. The line was to the door(about 15 people in front of us. We had our food by 12:25PM. Not bad. By the time we got to the first station - The Cold Sides I turned around and the line was out of the door. The second station were The Hot Sides, and the third station were The Meat Cutters. Our minds were pretty made up before we ordered. However, when walking down the line a couple of things were added and/or changed. The Cold Sides - We had a big pile of pickled onions, and dill pickles both of which are complimentary. We added a side of coleslaw because it was pretty. It did have a lot of mayo which none of us were excited about but they added just enough vinegar to make it some of the best ever. The homemade dill pickles and the pickled onions were addictive. We all kept adding more to our plates. The Hot Sides - we planned on the Green Chili Corn Pudding but immediately changed to the Tallow Fried Fries aka Crispy Sidewinders. We almost fought over these. They were some of the best potatoes. The Meat Carvers - Stuck on our plan here. A half pound of Pulled Pork without sauce and a Chopped Brisket Sandwich. They gave us a taste of the brisket and our order almost changed. As I was watch meat carver add bbq sauce to my pulled pork I yelled...no, no, no. He then tried to retrieve some out of a pot and another carver had just added sauce on it also. Needless to say, I was not happy. I was determined not to like Lewis BBQ. Got to the table, retrieved our drinks and each of the bbq sauces that were offered. Sat down and tried the pulled pork. Tried it and to my amazement it was great. Now, not to say it might have even been better without the sauce(how I judge bbq - sauceless). Didn't taste the chopped brisket sandwich but was told it was the best in the city. I love beef brisket but not Chopped as sometimes it has too much fat. And like I said above the taste of brisket while in line was excellent. Service was great. Upbeat, positive employees. Yes, prices were a bit on the high side, but the quality of the food was better than most bbq joints. Highly recommend. And as much as I didn't want to like this place it is now my overall favorite...and we all agreed. read more

I ordered in advance a family, four pack for my family, I picked 1 pound of lean beef brisket and 1 pound of pork ribs, as well as sides of collard greens and coleslaw. The sides come in pint size container containers It also came with free pickled and vegetable vegetables which I like liked. The side dishes were enjoyed by the whole family. The family loved the ribs but were not as big a fan of the lean brisket. I think next time I will pick the moist brisket for them. I parked near the Publix and walked through the walkway to the back. The online order window is on the backside facing the beltline. Staff was polite and friendly. Looking forward to trying more of their food in the future! read more

Lewis Barbecue is tucked away in Ansley Mall. It has some outdoor seating and a pickup window to the side so one doesn't have to go in the restaurant which is super nice. Great: sliced beef brisket, chopped brisket, green chile corn pudding Really good: sausage and macaroni and cheese Not so tasty: green beans The brisket is epic! Juicy, good crust, flavorful. The corn pudding is absolutely fantastic. Not spicy, but great flavor! The sausage is a basic good sausage. It is what it is. The macaroni is a good solid macaroni. It's what you'd expect which is nice. The green beans are a big miss. The tomatoes overwhelm the flavor of the green beans. Not so great and would not order. They have a nice variety of sauces. read more

Being from Charleston and dining at that location I was super excited for the Atlanta location to open. You can order as little or much meat as you like for they weigh it. They have bottled sodas and beer to side before ordering you can grab. You can help yourself to bbq sauce station along with the plasticware. The most popular side is the corn pudding casserole so it's a must. I ordered green beans, corn casserole, two slices of brisket and two ribs $40...I did get two meals from it though. There is a bar with separate kind of menu on other side/outside of restaurant. We tried to go in for drink afterwards but no seats available so will try that again. read more

Great new barbecue concept to Atlanta right off the beltline. I really enjoyed how this restaurant was set up. It's easy to order and there's plenty of seating available. Make sure you get the brisket. It was delicious and cooked to perfection. So many of the sides are good too. You really can't go wrong coming to this restaurant. It's a great addition to the Ansley Mall area and I'm craving barbecue as I type this. Can't wait to come back and try more of their menu items. I loved how they are constantly cleaning the restaurant and keeping everything clean and neat. Parking is also really easy. read more

We had heard that this place had great food, so off went on a Sunday. There was a line, but it moves quickly. I don't usually like how brisket is prepared- most places have so much pepper coating it, so I was going to order a few bones. The carver offered us a taste of the brisket- which my husband was going to get anyway, but OMG. It. Was. DELICIOUS. At the last minute, my husband also added a pound of ribs and a smoked side...and 1.5 lbs of brisket. It cane with two toasted buns. We ordered fries- big, twisty, tallow fried fries, and the husband got Mac & cheese and potato salad. Only the fries got eaten, but not both servings- we were stuffed. I had one slice of brisket, and I bite of ribs, and those amazing fries, and I was stuffed. Husband had a few slices of brisket, a rib, and fries. We had so much to bring home! You seat yourself after you go through the line and get your food. You get your own fountain drinks, and to-go boxes are available. It wasn't overly loud, and we were able to find a seat easily. Despite signs asking you not to be seated until you get your food, a few people ignored them. There is also outside seating. We will be back! read more

Lewis Barbecue - Brisket and pork. Great sauces - Desserts Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Lewis Barbecue The brisket was the star -- absolutely loved it. I usually eat brisket plain, but adding the pickled onions, regular onions, and pickles took it to another level. The ribs were just okay. The sides weren't my favorite -- the mac and cheese and greens didn't really stand out to me. I really liked the assembly-line style setup. You start with the sides and then move down to the meat counter, which feels like having your own butcher. The person slicing the brisket even let me try a sample first, which was a nice touch. They also have a separate section that serves margaritas, which is a fun addition if you want to make it more of a vibe. It's located in a busy plaza, so parking is free -- but it can definitely get packed, especially on a nice day. The outdoor seating area is great when the weather is good. I'd definitely come back for the brisket. read more

Finger-licking, rib-tickling slice of heaven via TX right here! BBQ enthusiasts, this place is WORTH the drive. Moist Brisket? Best I've had hands-down ...Slap-yo-granny good even with no sauce!

The staff are outstandingly friendly, and the cool digs (there's an awesome looking separate Lewis bar) along with the Beltline location... worth the drive, worth the wait (come early - it fills quickly)... this is a BBQ Trail gem. read more
