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!

Wings and turkey tips
Phillip W.

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.

The Rib Tip and Wing Combo

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

Fried Chicken & Fried Catfish
Chucky B.

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.

Well God bless these kids. I'm sorry I didn't get the chance to visit in person, it looks like a…read morefun spot to check into. But Doordash helped me make sure I had a chance to give their Korean bbq pork (and brisket) a try. My impression was that it's really all about the sauce, with its blend of spicy, sweet, and just a little funkiness, though both the pork and brisket had a nice level of smoky authenticity to them. 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. But it's a long drive from Nashville, so I'll have to keep it to a once in a while special.

They mix traditional southern BBQ with Korean flavors and somehow everything works. We got the chicken sandwich, spicy Korean pork, greens, Brunswick stew and mac and cheese. Everything was great, but the mac and cheese was fucking phenomenal. I could've eaten a gallon of it. The Korean pork was so good it'd make you want to crash a plane into your enemies. I don't know what they put in that shit but I understand the commitment now. The manager was awesome too. 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.

The tragedy here is that I've lived less than five minutes up the road from Owens & Co. for YEARS…read moreand somehow just found this place! Normally, I'm driving 20-30 minutes or more trying to find decent ribs and brisket, and half the time I end up disappointed. Owens & Co. absolutely knocked it out of the park. And don't be fooled by the location. From the side, you might think you're walking into some small "wannabe" BBQ joint. Walk through the front door and that impression disappears immediately. 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. Before long, the whole place was buzzing with energy. I can't say enough about the team at Owens & Co. I don't remember everyone's names yet, but I plan on learning them because WE WILL be back. Great BBQ, great people, a great atmosphere, and a great Saturday lunch with my wifey. What more can you ask for? If you're anywhere nearby and you love real BBQ, check these folks out. They are the real deal!!

We ordered the brisket, pulled pork, lemon pepper wings, half slab of ribs, mac and cheese, and coleslaw, and everything was flavorful and cooked just right. The brisket was tender, the ribs fell off the bone, and the lemon pepper wings were some of the best we've had. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Chandler, who was working the register, went above and beyond. Not only was he friendly and welcoming when we ordered, but he also walked around the dining room checking on everyone, making sure guests were enjoying their meals, and even helped clear our table. That level of hospitality is hard to find these days and made us feel genuinely taken care of. Great food, amazing service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We'll definitely be back!

Stopped by here on a Friday while we were in the area. We'd checked the menu online and noticed it…read morewas about time for their happy hour food menu. Since I'd already eaten and was only planning to taste, and my husband wasn't super hungry either, we decided to pop in for that. There were only a couple of other small groups of people in the front dining space, so it was nice and quiet and there was plenty of available seating. 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. All we got was a head nod or an "mhmm" whenever we asked a question. When we were leaving, he was chilling behind the bar and didn't acknowledge us even though there were people who'd been there before us who we'd heard him speaking to, and when they left they got a, "Thanks guys. See you later." It was a little strange, but I don't know. Not a huge deal but worth mentioning.

While I loved the old menu, this new one works too. I also had the Peach Smash, and it was great. The food came out quickly, the atmosphere was just as enjoyable as I remembered, and it's still a great, family-friendly spot.

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.

We visited Sweet Auburn on a Sunday afternoon with a group of 10. Parking was a little confusing…read moresince it's in a parking deck shared with an apartment building, but the restaurant will validate parking for up to two hours, which was a nice perk. A few of us shared the BBQ Omakase, and I was pleasantly surprised by both the quality and the amount of food. The appetizers were a great start, the brisket egg rolls were crispy, packed with meat, and easily an 8.5/10. I also really enjoyed the pimento wontons. 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!
