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!

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.

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.

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.

Brisket Sandwich @tiffhuangry

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!

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!!!!!

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.

I've been here a few times now, including my most recent visit this month, and every experience has…read morebeen consistently enjoyable.I usually order the Choice Platter with a half rack of ribs and chicken, along with baked beans, mac and cheese, and the jalapeño cornbread. The ribs are always tender and flavorful, and the chicken is cooked well. It can be a little dry at times, but the BBQ sauce takes care of that. The baked beans and mac and cheese are both delicious, and the jalapeño cornbread is always a great choice.I've also tried the stuffed jalapeños and the hand-battered mushrooms. The stuffed jalapeños were hearty and very tasty. The mushrooms were okay, but I probably wouldn't order them again unless I was sharing with a group. They're served whole, and I think cutting them in half would improve the batter-to-mushroom ratio. The batter could also use a little more seasoning, as the mushrooms make them taste a bit bland.Service has been a little slow each time, but the waitresses have always been friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which makes the experience enjoyable.Overall, the food has been consistently good, and I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area.

Our son and DIL recently went and had a good experience and asked if they could take us -- and who is going to turn down BBQ?! We went in around 5:45pm on a Saturday and got seated quickly, but the place filled up pretty quick after us. Ayla (?) was our server, and extremely sweet and knows that menu! We did have two flies buzzing around us in our corner which were quick and we only eventually killed one of the two -- part of the reason for the 3 and not a 4. Two of us ordered the ribeye, one got the chopped brisket, and one got a salad with chicken. The ribeyes were tasty, they just lacked the marbling found in a good steak at that price. (Another reason for the 3) And the chopped brisket was more shredded and wasn't as moist as you'd expect -- even after asking for some fattier pieces. (Final reason for the 3) sides were good -- TONS of onion rings/straws, delicious mashed potatoes and green beans. Overall: server was great, minor improvements needed on the food, and something needs to be done to deal with the flies INSIDE the restaurant.

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!

As we got our drinks, we sampled some of the barbecue sauces that they have. There is a huge selection of all different types. We sat outside on the back porch, which was nice. The meal was pretty good. I enjoyed the barbecue the coleslaw is standard coleslaw. Nothing special . We did not get any desserts. I would go back again and try the pulled pork or the burnt ends.

Please note that the parking is mostly street parking here! I ordered the smoked Gouda smash burger which came with fries. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! I did order a plethora of sauces since I'm a sauce girly.
