Carlos D.

First visit to Rickettes and I really enjoyed the food. The wings were cooked to perfection and the sauce was like the cherry on top..Loved the Chicago themed music also.

Rib Tip, Wing & Link Combo, Roll, and Extra Mild Sauce on it. It doesn't look like extra mild sauce. I'll just get a cup of sauce to go.

Food was really good. I did go at the end of the night. Got there about 8p so wasn't surprised that the chicken wasn't cooked fresh. It was still good with good flavor. I got the tip, link and wing combo. It was a good amount. I ate on it for 2 days. The only reason I gave 4 stars was that I asked for extra sauce, and I paid for it. However, it didn't appear to be extra sauce. I'm from Chicago and familiar with the brand, as I've had it plenty of times in Chicago. Just felt like it should have been drenched in sauce in true Chicago style. This is my go to spot for bbq in Atlanta. It's a 30 minute drive, but worth it! Also, I received one roll for all that food. That's insane! Service was pretty good. A little hood in the area. But, no big deal, mind my business, watch everyone and in and out! To go spot. No dining whatsoever.

This place is nothing short of amazing! I stopped by right before closing and they food was fresh, the owner and cashier were both pleasant they even allowed me to sample their turkey tips I'm definitely ordering next time. They need a location in the city so everyone could experience all their greatness. Most importantly their customer service is top notch‼ will be supporting this family owned business

I woke up Saturday wanting barbecue. I don't know why but I thought about this place instantly. I had been wanting to try out this place after seeing them on Instagram. The place is in Greenbriar Parkway literally 2 miles away from my location. Luckily for me they were on Uber Eats. Yes! I ordered a Rib tips & Wings Combo $18.50. 3 wings, Tips, fries and rolls. Mild Sauce and Barbecue Sauce on the side. The food container is completely wrapped in heavy duty foil to avoid a mess. They included napkins and fork. Thank you because most businesses do not include utensils for take out. The wings were well seasoned not overly salty and very crispy. They were so good. It reminded me of Philly style chicken wings. The rib tips were meaty. Not super tender and not super tough. That was good for me because I like my ribs kind of chewy. I also could tell they were smoke in a grill not oven baked. Real barbecue. The bbq sauces were so good, you could just continuously dip or pour it on your food not to mention licking your fingers. Food was enjoyable. I will return.

I've had Rickettes bookmarked for a while after seeing it on IG so when I was near the area on Sunday I decided to check it out. The restaurant is take out only. The lady who took my order was friendly and gave me some recommendations especially for the sauce. I ordered the turkey tips & wing combo that comes with fries. I told them to put light sauce on the wings & the turkey. No sauce on the fries. I also ordered a side of green beans since they were out of the mixed greens. When I got my order the container was wrapped in foil to keep the sauce from spilling out. It also helped keep the food warm. I had over a 30min drive to my house. The sauce was good, but it was a little too much for me. I would have preferred to only have it on the turkey & not on the wings. Next time I'll definitely get it on the side. The wings & fries were good.

As a Chicago native I'm always excited to try places that have food from my hometown. I was referred here from another ChiTown native for a good place to grab bbq. We ordered Turkey Rib tips , Italian beef, Mac and cheese, with greens. The Turkey rib tips changed my whole perspective on BBQ! It was that good! Come with fries and a roll. If they wanted the real Chicago touch it would've been two slices of bread. Lol, but still good nonetheless. The Italian beef is was just ok. Typically when you order an Italian beef from any place that sells it, you have the option for the au jus (dip) on the side. This place has to dip it since they don't have styrofoam, which essentially made the sandwich very soggy. The sides were very delicious! The greens with turkey meat was my absolute favorite. I took a star off cause the menu was just so extensive, and the cashier had no idea what anything was. It happens. Also took the star off because the sandwich was soggy, although the flavors were good. I'd definitely come here again, and recommend it to anyone who wants good Chicago bbq!

Parked right in front went in spoke with a lady and a man (presumed to be owner) couldn't have been nicer people. Never seen or thought of turkey tips but without hesitation ordered and was able to try a sample To ensure I was pleased. I got the turkey tips and wings with fries which were all amazing. The sauce is really a hit although not much is needed, it definitely takes to the flavor overboard. Looking forward to trying them again soon.

Service here is very friendly. The cleanliness is also impressive. We ordered the Chicken and Fish. Disappointed because we were told it would be catfish, and it was definitely not. The chicken was fried well and had a great flavor(did notice the grease flavor was a little less than fresh). Will return to try the Turkey Leg!

I've seen this place walked by... Smelled the aromas coming out of this place and saw the reasonably priced combos on the window.. I said I must definitely give it a try. So today was the day .. a Saturday afternoon around 4pm.. man the parking lot was booming.. parking is somewhat limited bc there are other food spots in the same strip plaza. .... .... Luckily I found a spot across the parking lot bc I was on my way out if I couldn't find a spot. .... .... Take out only. When I went I was able to place my order right away. Unsure of what I wanted.. I asked the lady that greeted me with a smile.. what do people normally get.. she said wings. I opted for the 4 bone rib with 2sides and comes with a "Pop' . I choose Mac n cheese . It was good had a good flavor. Second side was fried okra.. man the portion was so big. I had leftovers. The ribs were seasoned well I really didn't need the sauce ( I got that on the side.. it was sweet and tangy . Good) Reason for 4 stars. The ribs were not fall off the bone tender but they were good and I'd give them another try. (Key to tender ribs slow cooking) I didn't try any of the desserts they had in the case. See video to view the sweets. If you are in the Greenbriar area.. they are in the plaza in front of Kroger.

If you love Chicago food..THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!! THEY NAILED IT! HAROLD who? Lol The chicken 5 star The service 5 star The RIB TIPS U HAVE BEEN WANTING The Italian Beef is BEEFING The Sauce taste EXACTLY like Chicago This is legit an Answered Prayer. How they lost 1 star...the wait time is a REAL 20-25 mins. But when you are making perfection. I suppose it takes time. I will definitely return. It was impressively FRESH and just Delicious

The chicken was on point and the service was great. I got the catfish and fried chicken. I know a lot of people don't care for catfish, but I enjoy it. I got the greens as a side, but those are way too salty. I couldn't eat that. But I also never eat with salt except for on popcorn. But overall. I will be back. I enjoy my meal.

4 piece dark chicken with fries and a roll and drink sauce on side. Smoked half bbq chicken I took to lunch for work the next day.

Ordering online doesn't matter, they make the food when you get there... the lady that ordered her food In front of me, still got her food before me... they have one girl being a cashier and expo at the same time... she is running around like a chicken with her head cut off... they really need a better system because she had to walk all the way to the kitchen to give a receipt... she was very sweet... Mac and cheese was not it... it was not creamy and needed just a little salt ...wouldn't get it again Mini rib tips... I counted 5 and it comes with fries, but the fries were not crispy so the sauce made them even soggier... rib tips itself had a few tough pieces... overall I don't need to come back. read more

I want to start off with saying I do love this food. I've been there several times, usually about once a week. I refer all my Chicago friends there, for a taste of home. My issue is the consistency. Sometimes the food is seasoned well, and I remember why I visit so much. Other times you just get a bag of grease that has no taste. Nobody answers the phone, today, I called 10 times over the span of 3 hours, not one answer. There is no customer service when you're there, one lady never knows what's going on or it's someone else's fault. I truly ask myself, why do I continue to come back: it's because when the food is good, it's really good! But between the customer service, the inconsistent tasting food, and the random times they decide to close, I would take my business elsewhere. I would love for a change in support or maybe a refresher on how to handle customers. read more

They had me as soon as I opened the door. Those men were in their cooking, and it smelled so good. I ordered the chicken, fish, and tips and a slice of sweet potato pie. I would definitely return again for the chicken and tips. The tips were seasoned so good you didn't even need the sauce chile! Not as tender as I typically like them, but overall very good flavor. The chicken was super good too. I could have literally just eaten a bucket of the chicken skin crunchy, flavorful just good. Now the fish was fried to damn hard. They burned it!!! I was a little pissed off about it. Helpful things to know.....I would order ahead as the food is prepared when you order. It's hot but on the flipside it takes a little minute to prepare , so make sure you pack your patience if you don't order it ahead. Also, they require photo ID. if you're paying with the card in person, you have to show your ID and also if you order online the person picking up the food has to match the person whose ID that is being used. I gv them 7.5/10. read more

This place is around the corner from me and I saw them on Instagraham, so I decided to swing by. Pulled up and it's a crowd and I ordered turkey tips and they had none so I was mad then I ordered pork sausages with yams and Mac and cheese. Review: The food was subpar and the yams are canned yams. Candied yams are my favorite and I DEPISE canned yams. I don't care how you doctor up canned yams you can't get the can out of them. I think I'll try them again cause I want the turkey tips. They sausage was charred I know some people like it that way but I don't read more

I haven't wrote a review in a while, but this spot was worth coming off of the bench for. For some odd reason Rib Tips and Hot links are hard to come by, but not anymore. My wife and I have family in Chicago and it's a staple to have both at a family function. So to have a spot here locally that has both is incredible. The ribs were delicious and the it was a true hot link that I can appreciate. We also order an Italian Beef Sandwich as well. The only knock on the IB is they use mild peppers vs Hot. That might be a personal preference though. All in All this spot is solid. The owner is friendly and is working to provide good food for the community. The spot is clean but this is a grab and go set up. Definitely will be using them for upcoming events. One note- if you aren't a sauce person- ask for sauce on the side- they put it on everything including fries. read more

Tried the 50 cent smoked wings today (Tuesday) and they were delicious. So flavorful. And they were whole wings which was unexpected. Kinda small but that's ok. We got BBQ sauce on the side.

So i was at greenbriar looking for places to eat at and saw this place next to stuffy dog. I saw barbecue and thought "nah, that is going to be super expensive". When i walked by after parking, I saw a sign for "4 pieces mixed chicken w/ fries and a drink for 7.99". After looking at yelp, i thought i would try it out. The vibe was so positive! The people behind the counter and in the kitchen actually SPEAK to customers and you can tell they really interact with community members. 2000s rnb music videos were playing in the background whilst the woman behind the counter was really nice and talking to a preacher. I ordered the chicken and sweet potato pie slice(a HUGE piece for $4.50??!?!?). The chicken was DELICIOUS!! Seriously, super juicy, well seasoned, and flavorful without the sauce! The sauce was a nice and sweet mild bbq. My order was $13 total.... 13 for a giant piece of pie+ 3 huge fried chicken wings and a huge thigh. It was so worth the money! Not to mention the chicken was cooked to perfection! Like juice pouring out of every bite! Dont even hesitate, check this place out!!!! Ps: they do online orders and everything is made fresh so i had a 20 minute wait on the food, but that was alight with me! Definitely will be coming back read more

I passed this place by maybe a couple months ago? I was taking my daughter to hungry af which is a few doors down from their establishment. The aroma a fresh bbq caught my attention, and I was very tempted to try. I just decided to keep them in mind for next time. Today I ordered through Uber eats. The person who packed my rib tips must've been having a bad day. All the pieces were extremely tough & inedible. Threw the whole plate away. Very disappointing. read more

My new go-to for rib tips! Good portion size, meaty and saucy tips. Definitely reminds me of home (Chicago). Be prepared tho, southern bbq places give you Texas toast or rolls...not the traditional white bread that soaks up all the sauce. Also, parking lot can be a hassle and honestly needs some cleaning but it's worth it! Very friendly staff. Small waiting area with rooms for about 4 to sit. read more

I visited today based on tons of positive IG posts I've seen. When we entered we were greeted by a gentleman at the door who was extremely polite. We advised him this was our first time visiting and he then introduced us to the owner who was equally polite. My sister and I both ordered the 4pc Dark Chicken Special for $7.99. Each order came with 4pc Dark Chicken; fries, roll and a can soda. We asked for sauce on the side not on the food. The chicken was cooked fresh to order 15-20 mins wait which we had absolutely no problem with. There's nothing like fresh cooked to order food. When we got home our food was still fresh and hot. The chicken had a nice crispy crust and tasted as if it had been brined. The fries were tasty as well. I have to be absolutely honest, there wasn't anything that jumped out at me that made the food special. The price is unbeatable. Where can you find a 4pc side and drink in Atlanta for $7.99? The food definitely wasn't bad and I'll return soon to try other menu items. I love supporting black owned businesses and truly appreciate the friendliness and customer service Rickettes have. That alone makes this place stands out and will make me visit again. read more

I enjoyed visiting this restaurant yesterday with a friend who recommended this place. Once I arrived to Rickettes I was greeted by the nice employees along with the owner. This place has a lot to choose from. I was given a sample of turkey tips and that's exactly what I ordered. Food was ready within 5-10min. Prices are beyond reasonable whether you factor in inflation or not. This is where price matches the quality of the food with nice size portions. I decided to give this place a 5 stars because you rarely see good customer service, reasonable priced meals and great quality food all under one roof.

The wings here are really good. The sausage, ribs, and brisket were all great as well. There's not a ton of smoke flavor to the meat, especially the brisket, but it was there. The sides were pretty good as well.

Atlanta has very few traditions left, caught as it is under the churn of constant change of…read morebusinesses, including restaurants. One of the more enduring has been Fat Matt's Rib Shack, located north of Piedmont Park in an old donut shop. This place is not without controversy, though, as it technically cannot be called a barbecue joint proper due to the different way their meats are prepared. Charcoal takes the place of the orthodox hickory logs here, and for some, that is a disqualification from serious consideration. I say, (expletive) that prissy purism and enjoy some ribs! Think about it: Memphis' Charles Vergos' Rendezvous also uses charcoal, and some people think their ribs are among the best on earth. So put that in your pipe and smoke it. I was so determined to get to Fat Matt's on a recent trip that I sat in traffic and went via detours to the establishment, well out of my way to my ultimate destination. It was worth the aggravation. For about $20-25, one can have a good-sized dinner of charcoal-and-sauce ribs, a side item, and a beverage. The ribs are grilled a slab at a time, slathered in Fat Matt's trademark hot-ish sauce, first to get it cooked, then to finish it when you order. Since I came at an off hour, I got my food pretty quickly. And it did not disappoint. These spares are meaty enough to give a good chew (NOT "fall off the bone" soft like some others), suffused with the sauce. But if that's not enough for you, a small cup of additional sauce is provided with each order. Round that out with sides such as collard greens (my choice), macaroni and cheese, rum-spiked baked beans, and Brunswick stew, along with a couple slices of white bread for sopping (or sandwiches, if one has the patience for it) and a beer or iced tea or Coke, and you have a memorable meal. But that's only half the charm of Fat Matt's. For at night, the place doubles as a blues music club, featuring local talent. Memorabilia and assorted ephemera from that genre of music adorn the walls of the establishment. Most noteworthy is a mural rendition of Mount Rushmore with faces of prominent bluesmen etched into the drawing. That provides the backdrop for a small stage where guitarists, keyboardists, bassists, and drummers hone their chops each and every night, providing an added attraction to the food. It is one of only three in-town blues clubs that are well-known to the larger public. The place is small, and parking can be pretty scarce, so arrive early if you can. Since the music starts early, you won't miss a whole lot if you do not come out or stay late. This is perfect for people 30 and over who don't have the energy to hang out all night.

I can't say the mac and cheese blew me away, but it was a solid side. If I lived nearby, I'd be regularly getting the pork sandwiches.

Before we even ordered he let us try a few different things and every single thing he handed us was delicious. By the time I actually ordered I would've trusted this man with my finances. Absolutely no reason food this good should be coming out of a little building attached to a convenience store, but I guess that's usually how you know you're in the right place.

This is a real restaurant--with great service, great atmosphere, and, most importantly, GREAT food. We showed up around 12:50 on a Saturday afternoon, and I had my favorite lunch partner with me--my wifey--which made discovering this place even better. It wasn't very crowded yet, but the smell when we walked in was hypnotic. Smoked meats, BBQ, and all those incredible sides hitting you at once. The space itself is really nice, too, with huge windows and a great view. Then, while we were eating, the crowd started building both at the attached brewery and inside the restaurant.

My husband placed an order for the nachos with chicken and kale caesar salad. The food came out pretty quickly. The chicken on the nachos felt a little dry, but it was decent and the serving was actually bigger than we'd anticipated for a happy hour special. We enjoyed the kale caesar more. The pepitas and guacamole were a nice touch. The only thing I have to mention is that the guy taking our order at the bar literally never said a word to us besides the price when it was time to pay.

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.

The standouts for me were the mac and cheese, baby back ribs, and brisket. I also ordered the fried rice, and it honestly tasted just like hibachi-style fried rice, so good! The only item that fell a little flat for me was the wings. That said, both my sister and my spouse really enjoyed them, so it may have just come down to personal preference. The service was a little slow, and it took a while before we were able to place our orders, but our server was pleasant and friendly throughout the meal. Overall, I was very impressed. The food was flavorful, the portions were generous, and everyone in our group left full with enough leftovers for the next day. I'd definitely come back!

Disappointing Experience at Ricketts World Famous Chicken My recent visit to Ricketts World Famous Chicken on 2/11/24 left much to be desired. From the moment I walked in, I could tell something was amiss. The first red flag was the old, stale smell that seemed to permeate the air, hinting that perhaps the oil they used to fry their chicken had seen better days. Speaking of the chicken, it was a major letdown. The pieces looked like they had been fried in oil that had been used one too many times, resulting in a lackluster appearance and taste. There was no flavor and even the crispy exterior failed to make up for the blandness within. To add insult to injury, the bread served alongside the bread was hard as a rock, making it nearly impossible to enjoy. The fried catfish was equally disappointing, lacking any discernible flavor or freshness. The fries were another letdown. They were plain and devoid of any salt, making them taste like cardboard. To make matters worse, their credit card machine was down, and instead of handling the situation professionally, they had hastily written signs on the door proclaiming "cash only." This left many customers frustrated, especially those who had placed orders online and paid, only to find out upon arrival that their orders could not be fulfilled. Overall, my experience at Ricketts World Famous Chicken was extremely disappointing. The lack of flavor, poor quality of food, and unprofessional handling of payment issues left a sour taste in my mouth. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone looking for a satisfying meal. read more

I'm writing this review to express my absolute delight with my recent experience at your restaurant. I was referred by a chef friend of mine, and let me tell you, they were absolutely right - I need to tell everyone to run, not walk, to Ricketts! I ordered the rib tips with 3 wings and mac & cheese, and while there was a bit of a wait since I ordered in person, it was more than worth it. The lady at the front was incredibly kind and even gave me a complimentary lemonade while I waited, which was a wonderful gesture. And let me tell you about the food! It was simply finger-licking good! Everything was perfect. The meat, from the tips to the wings, was so flavorful and mouthwatering. I don't know what the "old man in the back" is doing to that food, but please, whatever it is, keep doing it! It's magical. That lemonade, by the way, was something else entirely! I swear it has some kind of addictive quality to it. Please be careful, I almost went back immediately for another one! Seeing another customer, an older Black woman, pick up four slices of sweet potato pie convinced me to try it, and I'm so glad I did. I figured if she was buying that many, it had to be good, and I was right. You don't see many older Black women eating just anyone's baked goods, and I knew it had to be special. Overall, my experience at Ricketts was fantastic. The food was exceptional, the service was warm and welcoming, and I will absolutely be returning whenever I need my BBQ fix. Thank you again for such a wonderful meal and experience. You have a real gem of a restaurant! read more

As a proud Georgia native raised on homemade meals made from scratch by my grandmother, finding a restaurant that comes close to her cooking has always been a challenge--until now. Rickettes World Famous Chicken & Bar-B-Q is the real deal. I stopped in for lunch and was immediately impressed, not just by the food but by the entire experience. The staff was friendly, offering excellent customer service, and the atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable. But the star of the show was the food. It tasted like something straight from my grandmother's kitchen, full of flavor and made with love. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Gus, who hails from Chicago. He greeted us with a warm smile and a personality that instantly made us feel like old friends. Gus didn't just serve food--he created an experience. His genuine hospitality was the perfect complement to the incredible meal. Honestly, five stars isn't enough to express how satisfied I was with my visit.

Now this place is fairly new to our Stockbridge area it replaced the Church's Chicken that was…read morethere for years. We decided to give it a try for the first time on a weeknight. From the time we walked in the customer service was A1. The cashier gave us suggestions and it looked to be clean. Our food came out fairly quickly, less than 10 minutes, but I can see why other reviewers may have said it was pricey. We ordered the chicken Philly with fries , steak hibachi with fries & a two tender add on. The chicken Philly came with a drink but the hibachi did not, my bill was $31. This could be considered pricey when compared to American Deli but everything was cooked fresh to order and came out piping hot, no pics of my son's food because he devoured.They did give us three sauces: BBQ, Ranch and Yum Yum for no additional charge so to me it was money well spent and we will definitely go back. Give these folks a try the next time you cross the Bridge. Welcome to Stockbridge Mr. PJ's!

We were the only customers in the restaurant so it wasn't as if they didn't have time to clean. My husband and son didn't feel well after eating their Hibachi steak and I accidently dropped mine on the floor so I didn't get to eat any of it. I'm glad I was clumsy today.

I got a 10 piece split- hot teriyaki (which was good!) and honey garlic pepper (which was terrible- plain wings with garlic powder no sauce). I really wanted to like this place, the people working were nice, but the food just wasn't good.

Everyone was super nice and accommodating and the food was absolute perfection! Everything is cooked to order and to your liking so don't hesitate to be specific about your needs. I thought it was cute and unexpected how the back of the house wore white chef coats although their serving burgers, wings, nachos, and other cheap eats...it just shows that the owner takes pride in his modest yet fulfilling establishment. I'd definitely return again and refer all my friends.
