Great food! We ordered the brisket, rib tips, pulled pork BBQ sandwich, and pulled chicken sandwich. For sides we got Mac and cheese, coleslaw, potato salad... AMAZING!!!! The service was also good! If we are ever in the area again, we will come back. read more

Consistently Great BBQ - Pit Boss BBQ on Doug Davis Drive Pit Boss BBQ on Doug Davis Drive has officially earned repeat-customer status with me. I've been working my way through the menu, and everything so far has been on point. I've tried the ribs, pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad, mac and cheese, and peach cobbler--all delicious, well-seasoned, and cooked the way BBQ should be. The sides aren't afterthoughts either; they're flavorful and clearly made with care. The peach cobbler? Worth saving room for. Today I tried the smoked chicken, and it did not disappoint--juicy, tender, and packed with smoky flavor. On top of the food, the customer service is amazing. Friendly, welcoming, and consistent every time, which honestly makes the experience even better. If you're looking for solid BBQ with great service and food you can rely on, Pit Boss BBQ is absolutely worth the stop. read more

In short it was amazing. From first arriving in the parking lot and smelling the smoker to the first bite. Everything was smoked to perfection and very flavorful even without the sauce. Add the sauce and whoa just whoa! We tried the brisket (B-), ribs (A), rib tips (B+), baked Beans (B+), mac n cheese (B+), Greens & potato salad (B). However the absolute star of the restaurant are the smoked wings. My goodness smoked to perfection, flavorful, crispy but juicy! I highly recommend adding the lemon pepper seasoning to take the smoked wings to an orbital level. Overall, the best bbq I've had in the Atlanta area. Well worth the drive or if you're at the airport and have a layover hop in an Uber and enjoy some of this heavenly bbq. read more

I finally snagged this coveted Thursday special Loaded Brisket Baked Potato. BBQ sauce not pictured. Everyday, M-F that is, Pit Boss has a daily special. Thursday is highly talked about where I work. These potatoes sell out quick. You can have your choice of meats, but that Brisket, is so good! Smoky, flavorful, seasoned just right!! I ordered it through Door Dash, because that line at lunch time is a beast! Order early, is my best advice, because they do sell-out! read more

Pit Boss BBQ - Thursday Lunch Special Brisket Loaded Baked Potato - Barbeque Near Me - Hapeville, Georgia

If you know me you know I absolutely love Pit Boss. Today's visit was an absolute detractor experience for me and has me baffled... Let me explain. I was heading home and I had to have some Rib Tips. To make the best use of time, I placed my order via UberEats and headed to Pit Boss to pick it up. The pickup process was easy and smooth. I walked in, provided my name, retrieved my order, signed for it, and was on my way. Now... here's where it went down hill. I opened my container and was disconcerted at what I saw. The portion was that of a kid's meal. The rib tips and fries looked as if they were just thrown in the container, and worst of all... the flavor profile of my rib tips wasn't the usual Pit Boss Amazement I have become accustomed to. I concluded that due to the fact that I placed my order online for pick up, there was a lack of quality and care put into my order. Yet, when dining in, the portions are fitting for an adult, the flavor profile is always spot on, and you can taste the care that is put into the making of the order. Though I love Pit Boss, I must admit, this experience has me unnerved as it relates to ordering to-go ever again... Table for 1, please. read more

This was my first and last time visiting this place. Nasty is an understatement. The ribs were dry, the brisket was tasteless and the Brunswick stew was gross. Came here for a work meeting and was not pleased. The service was prompt and the ambiance was friendly with a whole bunch of contractors that work in the area. I don't have anything good to say about this food. I will never come back. Dry ribs and nasty taste. read more

We stumbled upon Pit Boss Barbecue while waiting for friends to arrive from the airport--and what a great find! The staff was fantastic--friendly, welcoming, and full of great suggestions. They greeted us enthusiastically as soon as we walked in, setting the tone for a great meal. A live musician played bass the entire two hours we were there, adding to the cozy vibe. We ordered the Rib Tip Dinner with baked mac & cheese. The meat was juicy with a perfect crisp, and the mac & cheese was full of flavor. The cheesy mashed potatoes were a bit heavy for me, but the peach cobbler was amazing! Their barbecue sauce added just the right kick. Overall, delicious food, great music, and warm service--I'd definitely come back! read more

We picked up diner after our flight landed. The ribs were dried out and very salty. The brisket was moist and fine. The collards were ok nothing special. The beans were good if you like them very sweet. The Cole slaw was very good. The corn bread was southern style which goes over well in the south. I tend to like it on the sweeter side. The Mac and cheese was nothing special. We wouldn't go out of our way to have this for dinner again. read more

Stopped in yesterday during the cold, windy snowy day we were having in Atlanta. This place was an old favorite, and I hadn't been in a really long time, and was hungry for the comfort of some tender BBQ Ribs .... Well, the young lady at the counter was super sweet in delivering the bad news that they were completely out of Ribs and Chicken :( So not to be outdone, they do serve a true "chopped pork" sandwich and it's really delicious- their sauce is good and they put plenty of meat on it. That sandwich coupled with Slaw and Fries worked out fine.... But I'm still wanting those ribs today. Also grabbed a slice of pound cake...it was delicious also. I absolutely recommend this place and will be back for ribs real soon. The location is great, plenty of parking and seating and it looks like a really nice outdoor seating area is available when it warms up. The folks working there were gracious and kind. read more

I've been here previously to the old location in the old building by myself. The second time visiting I went with my sister Medinah a couple of years ago in the new building. The food here is good and delicious. I didn't try the whole menu so I can't speak on all of that. My go to entree's are the smoked wings with fries and the brisket sandwich with sauce! This is what I like plain and simple and delicious. I got my food through Uber Eats this time around. I got my food on 10-22-2025.Pull up and support if you are in the area. read more

The food was so disappointing. I ordered the 3 meat plate but they were out of both Rob types and wings so I had the rib tips, pulled pork, and brisket. My two sides were baked beans and collard greens. I added an extra side of coleslaw. First the salt level is out of this world on everything even the coleslaw! All of the bar was over cooked and dried out. The brisket was the worst. It was hard, dried out, and chewy. The pulled pork was dry and chewy. The rib tips were ok, I believe the fat saved them on the inside but they were the most salty. The collard greens tasted like just greens with a lot of salt. The baked beans were ok just like the bush's can. The coleslaw amazingly was salty as well and had a strange celery salt flavor. Without the drink and extra side, this was absolutely not worth $38. Everything came to $43 without tip. The amount of food was not the best either, my hand is in the photo for reference. I'm ok with that though because if I ate it all I would probably greet high blood pressure. Service was quick and polite. Ambiance was like an old school bar so a bit loud but expected. The place was clean as well. read more

They had a DJ spinning some killer music. The staff was great all very nice and helpful. The food was ok at best. The brisket was hard a cold. The Mac n cheese had a different taste that I couldn't quite pin point. The cornbread was hard dry and not very good flavor. The sauces were only mild and hot. I was hoping for something more sweet and spicy but didn't see anything. The baked beans were the best part. I unfortunately don't think I'll ever go back. read more

Came across this place while in town for the weekend. It was a very spacious restaurant with a bar in the front and they had live entertainment. You come in and order at the back whether you are dining in or doing carry-out. I got my order to go but if you dine in you place your order and then choose where you want to sit and they bring your food to your table. Since I did carry out I waited near the back and they called my name when my order was ready. The staff were very friendly and it didn't take long to receive my order. I ordered the platter with 3 meats so I could try different items. I had the smoked wings, brisket and rib tips. The meats were very tender. The wings were well seasoned. I felt the seasoning on the brisket could have been better but with the sauce it was tasty. The rib tips were pretty good. Overall it was a nice spot for bbq with a good atmosphere. read more

This place really brought me a nostalgic feeling of being a little girl at the family barbecue. This is honestly the best bbq I've had in Atlanta thus far. I think I might have found a go to spot to take family before their flights. The spare ribs juicy and tender. The brisket was also really good. I've never had Brunswick Stew until my visit and that was amazing as well. Overall, the food and atmosphere were great. The staff were extremely friendly as well. read more

We're from Texas and wanted to try to some Georgia BBQ before we left. This place was recommended and it was perfect! Warnette took care of us at the bar. She was absolutely wonderful! The food was amazing! Pulled pork, sliced brisket, sausage on a bun, pork rinds (Cajun & lemon pepper mixed together) and Juice Quest & Orange Diva local beers. Great little dive bar feel with amazing food. The entire staff was wonderful- but Warnette made our visit one for the books. Will visit again the next time we're in Atlanta. read more

We are visiting Altanta from Los Angeles, and anytime I visit the south, I have to find a must visit again Bbq joint, and this is it! The guy greeting you at the door seemed like a sweetheart. He was polite and informative, such anice guy! The kid taking my order and the guy handing me my food was nice as well. The order came fairly quickly. Nice customer service all the way around. Brisket sandwich 10/10! Absolutely delicious and you get a nice amount. By itself, it's smokey with the right amount of salty. Add a little bbq sauce, I tried both hot and regular, hot has a nice not to hot kick, but mixed with the regular and it's the perfect combination. Greens 9.6/10! Really flavorful, only reason it's not a ten, at least for me, I needed a little vinegar just to add depth. But very tender and all-around good. Peach cobbler 3/10 Too doughy, and not enough peaches. I prefer more peach than crust. It was honestly a little underbaked. Good amount of sweetness but not much more flavor. No cinnamon, no nutmeg...etc! Peach tea...I added a little to the regular sweet tea, and it was a good pairing. The little peach tea I did add had a very peachy flavor and lessened the sweetness, which was perfect. But we are in the south, and i know how sacred sweet tea is, so....the sweeter the better. Solid BBQ joint! read more

We hadn't been here in years and it has been recompletely remodeled to the point where we were thought maybe we had come to the wrong address. It looks great and thankfully the food was as amazing as we remembered! The brisket was so tender it literally melted on my tongue so that I didn't know where my tongue ended and the meat began. This remains the best brisket I have ever tasted. Everything was good, but the brisket is the goat. read more

Here for work. Many different people all said "Pit Boss!" When I asked for a good bbq joint. So I checked Yelp. And headed over. Vibe check. 1. Smells smokey and meaty. Off to a good start. 2. Full on DJ that smiles and greets you at the door while spinning a perfect blend of tunes at a proper level (not ear splitting or ridiculous. ). Also a good thing and kinda unique. 3. A full bar for people that likes the boozes. 4. Staff were all friendly and polite and welcoming 5. Table was clean with no icky sticky arm hair plucky yuck yuck. Now!! The FOOD!!! I got a 3 meat combo w two sides and a cup of water. Priced fairly. Food came hot and correct. Pulled pork was piled and seasoned and tasty. Brisket had bark and was in nice bite sized chunks. Didn't need sauce but sauce was yummy. I got the baby back ribs and they were meaty and tender with delicious flavor. The collard greens had good pot liquor and flavor with generous meat bits. So soft and well stewed!! And the baked beans were excellent and hot. The corn bread was firm and had corn chunks. It wasn't overly sweet or so fragile you couldn't dip it. The water was cold and likely filtered as I didn't catch that pool water tap water funk that some places have. To be clear. ALL OF THE STAFF were friendly , smiling and genuinely welcoming. But the young lady in charge of walking the dining area ? Dude !! She probably checked in little ole me alone at least 3-4 times and It wasn't cuzza my looks! She just genuinely seemed to at least on some level care that I was doing ok. What more can you ask for ? The outside is kinda unassuming and gimmick free. But the inside is packed with yummy smoked meats and all the good good to go with it. I live far far from here. I do very much hope to get to come back and I hope this place hasn't changed if I do ! Thanks Pit Boss Crew for the good meal when I was far from home. read more

Great BBQ near the airport north domestic terminal. Just missed the great lunch prices and they'd run out of brisket. However, had a 1/2 each of ribs with corn bread, collard greens and baked beans. More than enough for two people! Everything was delicious and the staff were kind. Clean restaurant and bathrooms. Place was packed just past 2pm when we arrived. P.S. Get there before 2pm which is when lunch specials end! read more

The food was great, we had the chicken sandwitch and brisket and mac n cheese and everyting was wonderful except we came in for ribs and wings and they were sold out of both, not their fault and everything was excellent but maybe call ahead to make sure they have what you want. read more

This place was hopping! Arrived around 12:30 and the place was packed. The line to order moved quickly, and food was coming out fast! I ordered the three meats but was disappointed to find out they were all out of ribs! Before we left, they apparently ran out of chopped chicken, also. My husband really like the burger with brisket on it. I thought all three meats were flavorful, and the brisket was moist! I didn't get to taste the bbq sauce until we were about to leave. I tasted the mild one and it was good, but a bit watery (not thick like a normal bbq sauce). I also liked the collards. The Mac and cheese was not very good (lacked flavor and the cheese was a bit grainy). The bathrooms were very clean! Overall, it was a good experience, the food was good, and the portions were good for the price. We left with leftovers from my meal. Definitely recommend you try this place!! :-) read more

This was my first and last time coming to this establishment. I went with a friend of mines. I WAS going to order online, however the menu online does not match the menu on the website -- something they should fix as a matter of efficiency. I ordered my food via the telephone. We got a full rack of ribs with baked beans, mac & cheese and cornbread. 1/2 lb of rib tips, potato salad, cornbread. When we got there, we saw they had desserts. We got German chocolate cake and pound cake. My friend did not like the ribs because they were boiled and stringy (he doesn't eat out for BBQ because he does a good job on his own grill at home, so he was not enthused). The BAKED BEANS! They should be ASHAMED! SERIOUSLY! The presentation of the baked beans looks like a can of pork and beans. NOTHING but BEANS, no onions, no brisket or meat in it, JUST beans. They doctored them up to taste fine, but the presentation is atrocious. He said the mac & cheese was average. Rib tips- average. The cornbread was homemade, and I like buttery cornbread, but this was not. The potato salad needs to be renamed on the menu to add MUSTARD potato salad. Which I do NOT like. ALL it was, was potatoes and mustard, I didn't see any onions, relish or any OTHER thing besides potatoes. My friend said he liked the German chocolate cake. The pound cake was moist but salty. Altogether I spent $74 and it definitely was not worth it. read more

We came in at 5:50 and at 6 o clock on the dot (they close at 9) they locked the doors and started closing "because it was slow" right before dinner rush but then proceeded to turn away AT LEAST 25 people in the span of half an hour I feel bad for anyone who went out of their way to eat at a restaurant that closed 3 hours before the closing time read more

I would call this location, the Hometown hero. I've lived in this area for eight years and Pit Boss is the boss of BBQ. Food: I have eaten a little bit of everything from here, from the smoke wings to the loaded, baked potato. I will say my favorite thing on their menu is the brisket. It is always tender and well seasoned even without the barbecue sauce. Now I will say, I'm not a fan of their desserts however barbecue, they got it. Another favorite of mine, is their baked potato. They normally only serve it on Thursdays, which is doing their lunch special. It's amazing. Service: I normally only order from here as a carryout and when I call, they always take my order very fast and friendly. Pick up is very smooth and at any point in time if they've ever gotten anything in with my order, they always find a way to compensate me on my next visit. Ambiance: they've recently been doing some renovations to change the vibe other than that is your traditional barbecue joint if you're looking to get your hands dirty and enjoy some good food I would recommend this location. read more

Ribs were not tender at all. Dissatisfied with the price point and the restaurant score at 80 (which I saw after ordering) was a slight upgrade from prior score of upper 70's. read more

I really wanted this place to be off the charts for BBQ but sad to say that it was good but not something I'd consider over the top BBQ. First of all the order process is somewhat confusing, you've got to get in one of two lines to order your food then have to sit at a table and wait. Now if it was just me I'd say it was my fault for not figuring it out right away but a number of people walked in and you could see they were also confused on what to do. And don't get in the wrong line because I got in the "Say and Eat" line and didn't realize it even though I wanted carry out and my order was not packed to go. I ordered the 1/2 ribs and 5 wings along with collards and potato salad. The ribs were good, fall off the bone good but a little dry however their BBQ sauce took care of that ( the BNQ sauce is outstanding!). The wings which were smoked were rubbery, could not even attempt to eat the skin. Once I got through the skin the meat was tender but I couldn't get over the rubbery skin. Collards were just OK and the potato salad was decent. I have to say my piece of cornbread was not the best, maybe it was because it was an end piece, not sure. All in all the atmospheres of the place was good, people were friendly but I really expected more for spending $45 on a dinner for one. read more

It was clean inside and the servers were nice and efficient. Did a to go order, got the two meat plate with fatty brisket and pork ribs. The brisket was PERFECT! Super flavorful, beyond juicy and tender, I ate it with no sauce and didn't miss it!! The ribs were the same, incredibly moist but I did like the sauce on it. My only gripe are the sides - potato salad the potatoes were undercooked for my preference. The Mac and cheese isn't gooey or anything, it was a little dry and bland. Would def come back for the ribs and brisket - would make my own sides probably! read more

Wow! It's a Tuesday night and this place is super busy and for good reason. They have a pretty cool, down to earth atmosphere with an exhaustive selection of menu servings. For a minute I thought I was in New Orleans because everyone in there was talking soooooo loud lol. I ended up ordering the 1/2 rack of baby backs that comes with a choice of Texas toast or cornbread...I chose the former. For my two sides, I got mac n cheese, baked beans and ordered large collards (need my veggies). Everything and I mean everything I got was beyond delicious. The ribs, meaty and tender, the greens nicely seasoned, the mac with cheese upon cheese was good and cheesy, the baked beans...OMG, those are ancestral baked beans because babeeee, those things are off the chain good. Lastly, for dessert, the peach cobbler....great! Not too sweet but sweet enough to satisfy your sweet tooth. The rib tips must be very popular as they were clean out at 7pm. The meat selections coupled with the abundance of sides, you're certain to appease your appetite. Disclaimer: there are plenty of menus on Yelp already, so I'm not adding a pic of another one lol. I don't know whose big mama's recipes these are but they are a definite hit for me. Highly recommend! read more

Quick Atlanta airport layover, searched for best BBQ spot near the airport. Located just 5 mins away in a big corner lot. Lots of parking and roomy interior. Has full bar on one side. Brisket. Kind of dry but good Smokey flavor. I just wished it was less overcooked and a little fattier. Spare Rib Bones, once again great smoke flavor, some sections were juicy and fatty but the end tips were dry. Smoked Wings, pleasant surprise, awesome smoke and flavor, some were juicy and some were dry. The Pit Boss mild and Hot sauces were both on point! Slightly sweet, tangy, savory and delicious great heat! Pro tip: combine hot bbq sauce with the ranch, delicious savory creaminess! The sides were good too, Cole slaw and potato salad. Service is friendly and fast. Overall great flavor, prices are not cheap but reasonable, just wished their quality control on cooking time could be better. read more

First time in college park and was craving some southern bbq. Our family went here cause of the great reviews we read and we weren't disappointed at all. We ordered a lb of brisket, full rack of baby back, a lb of rib tips, 10 wings, loaded fries, a large Cole slaw and collard greens. It was a lot of food and it all cost around $150. The service was quick we picked our table and they brought us trays and within 10 minutes our food arrived. The best was the brisket so soft and moist we should have ordered more, rib tips crunchy cartilage!, the smoked wings very flavorful and the collard greens. The worse was the baby back ribs it was so dry! All in all it was a decent bbq experience hit the spot and satisfied the craving. read more

I got an order to go. Had the Friday lunch special ~ rib tips. It included French fries (I didn't feel like asking for a substitution so I don't know if they would make a change), corn bread or Texas toast and a drink. It's best to arrive early because of the great amount of employees in the area, which is on Virginia Ave near the airport and Delta hub. I arrived a little after 11am. Within 10 minutes the line grew to reach the door from the register (about 30 feet) and didn't stop. My only criticism ~ the cornbread was flat, dry and even though it was cooked with corn (which I enjoy with or without) it was tasteless. read more
