It can get packed later at night so I recommend coming earlier in the evening. The inside was pretty cozy but there are seats outside as well. Soon after we sat down, there was a live performer that played guitar and sang songs, she was so good! For the food, the ribs were delicious. The ribs fell right off the bone. 1/2 slab of ribs were more than enough for a meal. The rum baked beans and the collard greens were my personal favorite sides. This is a great neighborhood bbq place and I would def come back again!

Now it was later in the evening, so that may be why, but I should have known based on the fact they still had brisket at that time that it couldn't be that good. Mac n cheese was tasteless.

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.

This spot used to be called something else and from my understanding they merged together. I wasn't a fan of the previous bbq spot but this is ok. As a family, we had ribs, sausage, collards, Mac and cheese, and baked beans. The smoke ring on the ribs was nice; however, there wasn't a great bark on them. I didn't care for any of the bbq sauces. The sausage was ok, it had cheese inside of it. All of the sides were average to good. I like that the platter was served with onions, good pickles, and white bread. That part reminded me of bbq at home. It's pretty easy to order at the counter and they bring your food out to you. We went on a Saturday night and it was pretty empty. I'm guessing they have more lunchtime traffic. I do plan to come back a little earlier so that I can try their wings before they're sold out.

I would have liked to see a few more BBQ sauce options, as I wasn't crazy about the ones offered. A little more variety there would take it up a notch. If you get anything though, make sure it's the mac and cheese. It was so good -- creamy, flavorful, and easily a standout side. I also appreciate the ordering setup. You order and pay upfront, then receive your food. I personally prefer this style of dining because once you're done, you can just get up and go instead of waiting around for the check. Parking is available in the back or on the street, which makes it convenient. I can only speak for the smoked wings -- and they were GOOD.

Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ in Atlanta is a must-visit for BBQ enthusiasts. Rodney Scott was…read moreawarded the James Beard Award for Best Chef Southeast in 2018 so you know it's going to be fire. Ample indoor and outdoor seating options cater to different preferences, enhancing the dining experience. The star of the menu is undoubtedly the ribs, which is cooked low and slow, ensuring tenderness and flavor. The meat is incredibly juicy, with a perfect smoky finish. Also, the smoked chicken wings are a must try. It is also one of the last places you can get them in Atlanta that I have seen. The sauces are amazing but remember this is not Texas BBQ. This is South Carolina so the sauces are more vinegar based. Orders are taken promptly and soon as you walk in, and food is served in a timely manner, making it convenient even during busy hours. Rodney Scott's Whole Hog BBQ is a celebration of authentic Southern BBQ. With its expertly prepared meats, flavorful sides, and inviting atmosphere, it's a place that BBQ lovers will want to revisit. Whether you're a local or just passing through Atlanta, this spot should definitely be on your culinary radar.

My first visit to Sweet Auburn BBQ was long overdue, and I honestly left wondering why it took me…read moreso long to make it there. What initially brought me in was Atlanta Burger Week, and I ordered their featured burger to take advantage of the special. While the burger was good, the real star of the meal was the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket. It was absolutely fantastic. The brisket was incredibly tender and practically melted in your mouth. The fried rice itself was packed with flavor and had such a unique, smoky taste that perfectly complemented the barbecue. It is not often that a side dish completely steals the show, but this one certainly did. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food arrived promptly, and the entire experience exceeded my expectations. It is always exciting to discover a restaurant that delivers something a little different, and Sweet Auburn BBQ does exactly that by blending flavors and cuisines in a way that feels both creative and comforting. I left full, impressed, and honestly a little disappointed in myself for waiting so long to visit. This definitely will not be my last trip, and I already know the smoked barbecue fried rice with brisket will be ordered again.

From the great artwork, the poster walled bathroom (super clean) to the badass bar area. Loved the vibes. Super cool waitress. I'm horrible with names. Short chick, glasses, chill af. Sweet Auburn give her a raise. If you can't identify her, give all the waiters/ress a raise, just to be sure lol. Now the food. Onion rings were on point. Love a great, crispy onion ring that makes me forget I hate onions. Fries with great. Even better with the vinegar BBQ sauce table side. Wife loved the Mac and cheese. Super creamy. For me, there wasn't a meat they served me I didn't enjoy in my mouth. Said what I said. Again, don't sleep on the vinegar BBQ sauce. Finally the drinks. Only had two, but loved that they had a selection of seltzers for the wifey. That and the bartender crafted an amazing old fashion. Compliments to them. Overall, we will be back for more. Easily a great BBQ joint just off ponce and outside the heavy traffic areas of PCM. Go, now.
