Brisket
Cassidy F.

Ordered online and still waited 40 minutes for the food. Then THIS is what they gave as a brisket plate and this is after I had to paper towel all the bbq sauce they DRENCHED it in. There was more sauce than meat. Who puts BBQ sauce on brisket without asking? This is the only place I've ever had do that. And this small sad looking brisket is just disappointing. It's thin and burnt and dry. The sauce (on the brisket and given on the side of the pork) is not good. This place used to be great but this really shows how downhill it's gone. The rest of the food was fine I guess, just overall disappointing.

So far this was my first time coming to this place, and I must say, feels very cozy and has plenty of menu options that looks quite appetizing. Food was pretty solid, ordered a Big Boy combo and a rib sandwich combo. Although the rib sandwich could use some work since the meat was rather tough and had more cartilage than I would've liked. The service could also be improved in some areas, perhaps a bit more kind and a good smile to the customers would be just perfect, but overall decent. I'm definitely curious and keen to coming back to this place as I would like to try out more of their options. A good 4 stars from me.

I love a good hole-in-the-wall restaurant, and I love supporting local businesses, so naturally, I love picking up some Merle's! Honestly, this place should be called "Merle's Burger Joint" because chili cheese burgers are my FAVORITE, and their burgers are EXQUISITE-- you know, in the greasy, messy, divey way most people should expect from this sort of place. (I should also admit that the first time I went I was in a burger mood and fell in love, so I have never even tried their bbq in fear of missing out on my favorite piece of chili cheese heaven, so I can't comment on that!) Don't come here to eat healthy; don't come here if you expect fine dining. You can take one look at the place and see that it has more of a food-truck feel. A lot of my friends love the wings, and we all love the fries, but I can't believe no one is talking about how incredibly amazing their ranch is. I could drink it; it's that good! The ranch is the sole reason I love the fries so much. You have to try it. As far as the dining experience, I have only eaten in a couple of times, but it's always been casual and enjoyable. Most of the time I order it for pickup and enjoy it in front of the tv on a Sunday. It's always done on time, and I have never not enjoyed every single bite. Check out Merle's with optimism and a hungry belly.

Not sure why this place only has a 3.5 rating. Those of you rating below 4 don't have any taste…read morebuds or know good BBQ. I'm from Memphis and know good BBQ, this place is excellent. The ribs are ST Louis style and are excellent. The Pulled pork outstanding, the collards and green beans were well seasoned and were also outstanding. Steve the GM checked on us and the service was great. Overall great service and better food Will definitely be visiting again.

Thank God for another City Barbecue other than Woodstock. The new manager there has lost me as a…read morecustomer- another story for another time.... Came into the Acworth restaurant and first thing I saw was a 100 A health score. Love that. Counter was neat and clean and the young person on the line greeted me from the line. That was sweet. The young person who cashiered was friendly and efficient. Never asked if I was eating in or taking but hey, perfection is overrated right? So I was packed to go but I was indeed eating in. I get it that way anyway because I can never finish all of my food. I got the two meat platter with an extra side and a drink for 23 bucks plus tip. So ribs, brisket. Potato salad, greens and Mac and cheese w Texas toast. Dining room- spotless. Bathroom- spotless I was checked on by a super nice young person named Ian while I ate. Really nice young human. After eating another youngin came over to ask for a Google review. Nope- I'm a Yelper. lol. I need to mention- the sweet tea and lemonade here make thee perfect Arnold Palmer. No dessert for me again. Too stuffed. One day I'll get to try the banana pudding. Deep sigh.
