Delicious brisket sandwich! (And I know good brisket, being from Kansas City!) The fries were just ok, but not bad. The fried okra was excellent! Not greasy at all, crunchy and tasty. read more

Great spot. Quality of the meat and sides are fantastic. Can tell a lot of effort was put into preparing this! Friendly staff too, nice ambiance too. read more

The sides were great and quite a large portion . My husband had the burger of the day and was a good size. My brisket sandwich was tasty but really sparse! Think McDonald's kid burger. The meat was tasty but not as big as the photos here. read more

This is just a small, unassuming barbeque spot near us! We ordered a large brisket plate with Mac n cheese & fried okra & 1 lbs of wings (half teriyaki & half lemon pepper) for under $40 which felt like a great deal! My husband, baby and I could've had just the brisket plate and been full without leftovers but with the wings we had lunch for one person It's counter service but they'll bring anything that isn't done immediately to your table They have just a few coke products but they serve beer too and they have banana pudding for dessert There were only a few tables in when we came but mostly seems to be a takeout spot. The brisket was tender & flavorful & we enjoyed it. The Mac n cheese had tons of cheese and my baby liked it The fried okra were cooked perfectly so we devoured those And the wings had a great texture freshly cooked & flavor was interesting but a little too salty for me. We really liked them with the spicy bbq sauce though! This place is pretty close to us so we'll definitely be back and glad we tried their food! They were all super friendly so check them out with plenty of parking in the shared lot read more

Great grub!!! I had the brisket sandwich and fries for lunch and was right on time. And the spicy sauce is so good. I'll be back real soon!

First time here and was not disappointed. Don't let the exterior of the strip mall deter you. What's inside is an undiscovered gem. We had the brisket and pork and both were delicious. The sides were nothing to sneeze at either. And of course, in southern tradition, ample sweet tea. Don't sleep on this place! read more

Long...too long wait for a to-go order but the food was excellent. Way better than Williamson's down the road. Again, chaos up front with the young folks running things but...will be back. read more

Best brisket in GA. That's it. That's the whole review and why I come here. I mean there are other things that are good but this is the closest I can get to Texas brisket. It's worth the drive. Oh ok I lied. Smoked wings are also VERY GOOD. They have expanded the restaurant over the years since they've been open. Nice and spacious, TVs available, service is adequate (order and sit yourself). GO GET SOME BRISKET. read more

I was in the process of eating my lunch when an employee came up to me and notified me that my credit card did not go through properly. So I went back up to the cashier and ran my card again. However, there was a mix-up and I had been confused with another customer. Long story short, I was charged TWICE for my meal because of a screw-up. The manager on duty told me I would be refunded within a few business days (he never apologized for the mix-up or the inconvenience). I've called twice in the last two weeks, and I have still not been refunded. They sent me a refund receipt at one point, but they apparently refunded the wrong card. I've always enjoyed the food here, but the management is just awful. They made a mistake, took over $35 from me, did not apologize, and did not follow-through as promised. I can't believe I had to keep calling and tracking this down. It's baffling to me that you can run a business with this kind of service. I'm sorry, but you've lost a loyal customer. read more

Great food! The green beans are amazing! Service is good. You can do take-out. Enjoy!

I finally made it to Righteous Que and it was great! Since it was my first time, the young lady at the front was very helpful with her knowledge of the menu. I placed my order, chicken sandwich, fries and a drink, and sat back while it was prepared. The wait was very reasonable and the meal was exceptional! I can't wait to go back and take my husband with me! Delicious food, friendly service and a good value! read more

This is our newest favorite BBQ spot in Marietta. Spots with good, clean smoked pork are few and far between now. This hits the mark - and the sides do too. Love love the crispy shoestring fries. This is a weekly stop for us. read more

The bathroom was not clean. The floors looked gross and the exhaust fan has probably never been cleaned. I ordered 2 large drinks and the kid gave us 2 regular cups. The meat was a little dry. The only thing that was fabulous was the okra. read more

Everyone in our household and our BBQ loving friends all agree Righteous 'Que has the best BBQ and sides around. We frequently get carry out for dinner for the family. Food is always great and we really appreciate the ability to order the type of bbq and sides that each person wants. We've also started using Righteous for party platters - always a hit. read more

After craving for some bbq, we found this place on Yelp and decided to try it out based on the many positive reviews. It didn't disappoint because the brisket was tender and delicious. Perfectly cooked. The mac and cheese was okay wished it was a bit more fresh. It was dry and must have been sitting in the serving pan for a while. Service was decent. I'll try some more items next time. read more

Righteous Que is a great spot that I have been going to for years now and will keep going to for years to come. The ambiance is just what you would want from a BBQ joint. It's simple with a lot of tables for small or big groups. The service is always great. Not only is the staff very quick but they are also helpful and very nice too. The food is top notch. I usually get a sandwich but I always get the Mac and cheese. There isn't much that can beat it. In terms of price it's going to cost you more than an average fast food meal, but the taste is much better than a fast food meal. It is great value for some really good BBQ with great side options. Overall Righteous Que is a great place to stop if you're in the mood for some good BBQ and some good southern sides. read more

Righteous ‘Que - Brisket Sandwich and Mac and Cheese - Southern Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

I've always been curious but finally stopped by for a late lunch when I noticed it next door to Belen de la cruz when we were there to pick up some empanadas. The bbq menu looked pretty basic and straightforward. I saw them slicing brisket behind the glass so I felt like I had no choice but to order a brisket sandwich. Comes with one side so I got the mac and cheese - but being indecisive as I was, I ended up ordering another side of fried okra. Everyone was super nice and patient while I ordered and took a quick video of the brisket slicing. The brisket was HOT and fresh and my mouth was watering while I watched them hold up the slab to the camera. Overall, everything was pretty tasty for a reasonable price. I prefer my brisket a little fattier/marbled but otherwise it was good. Not the best bbq I've had but a definitely solid meal that I would stop back in for if I were in the area again! read more

Great food, genuinely some of the best brisket I've ever had and their Mac and cheese is phenomenal! However recently they've been skimping on sauces HEAVILY, I ordered a POUND of rib for a get together and after having to ask for sauce assuming some would be in the brisket container they handed me 2 small sauce cups, and while I heavily recommend their white sauce, that much for a pound is insane- would be 5 stars with a little extra Sauce. read more

Love Love Love Georgia BBQ!!!! At the suggestion of my little brother who lives in Georgia we decided to order enough bbq for a family visit of 13 people. They had everything packaged up in nice serving tins and it was a huge amount of bbq and sides. The pulled pork was super tender and nice and juicy with just the right amount of smoke. The sliced chicken was the same!!!! We got mac and cheese, green beans and collards all of which we some of my favorite. Fyi the collards were out of bounds good!!!!! read more

Best BBQ around Atlanta -- service is always great -- prices are a little high, but you truly get what you pay for as far as quality bbq

This place has always had delicious BBQ, but they are now serving the best macaroni and cheese along with it and so earned a five star rating. PS- the wings and still the best in the city! read more

Righteous ‘Que - Smoked chicken wings and macaroni and cheese - Southern Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

This place has become my number one BBQ in metro Atlanta hands down. They are the BEST

Really good brisket sandwiches here! I liked the bbq sauces as well! Definitely coming back!

Stopped by Righetous 'Que when I was in the area. I periodically like to hunt for the best brisket. I don't think I found that, but I still found a very good meal. Prices at Righteous 'Que are competitive. I really wish I saw the Pat Bowl special. Look at the chalk board that is mid-way between the door and the counter on your way in for potentially interesting specials. Instead, I got a brisket sandwich, fries, and a drink. Biggest highlight of Righteous 'Que is the fact that they have Cherry Coke on the soda fountain. I'll one day make a 100% commitment to not being a fat fool anymore, but til then, Cherry Coke is amazing. Food was good. Portioning of the brisket was more than fair. I just wish it could've been more than meat and bread. A sandwich doesn't have to be too fancy. I would've loved two slices of pickles. An empire was built off a sandwich garnished with only 2 slices of pickles. read more

I can definitely see where they get the name. Everything about my first visit was righteous! Counter style restaurant that sells you meat by the ounce, walk up, tell them your weight and what sides and you're eating within 5 minutes of stepping in the restaurant. I tried some pork and brisket on this visit and both were to my liking. They have a sweet, spicy and white vinegar based sauces. All are great! If you like well done BBQ this spot hits! read more

Righteous ‘Que - Pork, brisket, green beans and Mac and cheese were all delicious! - Southern Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

The chicken sandwich is soooo good! I love the sauce selection that was provided when we ordered to go. Nice fluffy bread and chicken that melts in your mouth! Also ordered Mac and cheese, green beans, and the sweet potato and all were cooked well! The only thing is that I didn't see the veggie plate on the online ordering portal so I ordered all separately. But they have it on their physical menu based on the pics I have seen of the menu. read more

I thought it was fantastic. The collard greens and the barbecue sauce itself really stood out. Absolutely some of the best I've ever had. I don't know what they did to the collard greens, maybe cook that with a whole pound of bacon I don't know but it had so much flavor and they cook the greens to perfect tenderness that I really might go back just to get those collard greens again. I also got the spicy barbecue sauce and it was the perfect amount of spicy. So when I had a little too much on my last bite I start sweating a little bit but it really wasn't overwhelmingly spicy. There's a little sweetness to it too and the flavor again was fantastic. It had a slight tang but wasn't overly acidic like a lot of vinegar barbecue sauces. . Anyways I also got a brisket sandwich. I love how they give you the option of lean fatty or mixed and the prices here are very fair considering how much meat has increased in price over the past couple years. And they still had a fourth pound brisket sandwich priced at less than $10. Brisket was good. Nothing bad to say. I think they gave me mostly lean and I do like the fatty part more so maybe I should have just asked for that. Maybe compared to how incredible the other components were this one didn't blow my socks off so just seems fine but it was good and I'll absolutely be back for more. read more

Went here tonight for a 1/2 a rack of ribs and received the smallest saddest ribs I have ever had. To add insult to injury half of the ribs were as tough as shoe leather. The food did not match the reviews. Very disappointing. read more

Tried the brisket burger - it was good but nothing to write home about. Definitely have had better burgers. Would be willing to go back and try the brisket. Ambiance and service was good - clean and inviting - good vibe. read more

The brisket sandwich is off the chart. I should've bought the T-shirt!!! This is a regular stop.

Since i moved to Marietta two years ago this has been my go to spot for bbq..The ribs are AMAZING. Really everything is good. And now they make their own fresh potato chips and add this delicious dry rub seasoning ...so good! You will not be disappointed with a visit to Righteous Que. read more

Great attentive customer service. The wings were fantastic. Did not care much for the pork potato.. but that's because it was on a sweet potato- I didn't think I would like that- so that's on me. Hidden gem. Supports Wheeler High School. And good was good! read more

This was an excellent first visit to Righteous Que. I ordered the brisket sandwich with macaroni and cheese and tried the sweet barbecue sauce. The parts of the brisket sandwich that had extra fat we're absolutely the most flavorful. Macaroni and cheese was good, but also was quite greasy. The sweet sauce was excellent, and it was quite Sweet. read more

Righteous ‘Que - Brisket sandwich and macaroni - Southern Near Me - Marietta, Georgia

My husband stopped in to grab a surprise dinner--and got more of a surprise than he bargained for. The floors were so sticky he nearly left a shoe behind, and one of the few tables was already occupied... by a man fast asleep, face-down like he'd just given up on life (or the brisket). Not exactly the vibe you want when picking up barbecue. He turned right around and came home empty-handed. We'll be getting our ribs elsewhere. read more

Food was expensive for quality and quantity. Ordered 1 meat plate pulled pork (so so) with 1 slice Texas toast, coleslaw and Brunswick stew. Coleslaw was tasteless, needed some vinegar. Enjoyed the stew and my husband's fried okra. Overall meal was meh. Should have ordered a sandwich with sides instead. read more

I ordered the veggie plate which is the option to order 3 sides. I also asked for a side of toast. Here's my assessment of each item: 1. Brunswick stew - star of the show! It was sooo good I wish I'd had more 2. Mac & cheese - visually astounding, but the taste didn't match up. This dish had everything going for it. It was the perfect texture of baked mac & had that nice top layer of browned cheese. The issue was there was a lack of seasoning. It could have been as simple as adding more salt 3. Cole slaw - hard pass. Cole slaw has a bad rep but there are bbq places which get it right. This one missed the mark 4. Texas toast - it was only toasted on 1 side which was odd, but otherwise okay Overall I think this restaurant is great at meat but the other stuff is meh. I'm assuming this because my Brunswick street was absolutely stellar and the meat inside was just juicy & tender. I recommend getting a meat plate if you go. If I'd gotten that I'd probably be giving this place 4 or 5 stars. Also, lovely staff. read more

I'm a bit fan of the chicken with the white sauce. Honestly, the sides are even better. The Mac & Cheese is as close to grandma's as I can find and the green beans and collards are also solid choices. I also really appreciate that they give back to the community through their 'Que for a Cause program. read more

Delicious moist pulled pork sandwich- hit the spot! Purchased 12 oatmeal cream pies to share back home; wonderful melt in your mouth delicious. Lost a star bc my daughter found a long hair in hers (she broke it in half before taking a bite and when she pulled it apart the hair revealed itself). It happens, but needless to say we tossed the remaining pies. :( read more

We hadn't ordered barbecue in some time so we decided to try several of their meats. Brisket - we ordered mixed fatty and lean. It was perfect. Every bite to be savored. Chicken - cooked perfectly. It's easy to overcook chicken when smoking. They got it right. Ribs - the bite was just right. Flavors from the rub and smoke not the sauce. Which is correct in my view. In all I prefer a slightly smokier taste, and more spice. This is why I can't give it 5 stars. Mac and cheese was spot on. In strong competition with my wife's and she makes the best I've had. You can't go wrong here. This fed us for three days and really satisfied that "craving barbecue" feeling. read more

Since I wrote my first review in 2017, they moved into a larger space in the same shopping center, so finding a table is no longer an issue. Everything else is just as it was: the brisket, mac-&-cheese and Brunswick stew are still first rate, and now I can say that the pork is as well. The decor is very plain, not like most other BBQ places, but the food is what's important. They still occasionally run out of items before closing, but at least they now warn people on the front door that might happen. And they now have a hot sauce option. As far as I'm concerned, they're still the best! read more
