Kudos to Keshia who worked bar Saturday when our group of about 15 came in. She kept the food and drinks flowing and smiling all the time. read more

We came on a Sunday afternoon. The atmosphere was quiet and not so crowded so why not. We started with the rib tip appetizer. It was okay. They have an assortment of sauces with traditional, golden, and another one I can't remember. I'm a Carolina girl so golden sauce will always be my go to. As you can see in the picture, the rib tips are seasoned and fork tender. However, there was nothing special about them. It wasn't nasty but there wasn't a "wow" factor either. Because of the appetizer, I decided play it safe and ordered a Cobb salad with pork. Again, the salad was just okay, nothing wow. I would recommend that the salad needed some special seasoning or something to give it that umpf. Overall, service was nice, clean space, nice quiet day to enjoy lunch but I feel the chef is playing it safe with the food. For a bbq joint, I expected a flavor party. For the chef or kitchen staff, don't be scared, jazz it up the flavor ;) read more

This restaurant space has been unoccupied for quite some time so I have been eager to see what would replace the last business. Well bay-beeee this new restaurant did not disappoint! It is still a BBQ restaurant but this time, it is black owned and the proprietor is Cam Newton. The layout is the same as when it was Smoke Ring and it is still spacious and clean. I sat at the bar and originally came to try the ribs and the brisket but the Mayor had a large order that day that wiped them out of both meats. Therefore, I redirected and ordered the Fried Pickles, the Sampler Plate with 1/4 chicken and pulled pork with the sweet and spicy BBQ sauces, dirty rice, and collard greens to eat and the house margarita to drink. When I say EVERYTHING was delicious?!! I was pleasantly surprised that the meats were so tender and the sides were so flavorful! The bartender/bar manager Khas was dope as heck! He was pleasant, patient, personable, and made my experience 100% awesome! I will most certainly be back and look forward to becoming a regular at this spot. read more

We stumbled across this place as we parked in the parking deck next door. We had two hours to kill before the game started so we decided to go check it out and watch the Georgia before we headed to the stadium for the Atlanta United game. As soon as I walked in I didn't feel the vibe. Not one worker greeted us, we say the sign that said " please seat yourself" so me and my friends found a table and sat down. We waited about 10 minutes to see if anyone would come to us but nope. There were other customers there but no one came around after they got their food. After 10 minutes went by I decided to wave down a server. She came took our orders, brought us out drinks and someone else brought us out food. We didn't see her again until i waved an employee down AGAIN for our check. The place wasn't even busy for them to not serve us. And I was annoyed that they automatically added 18% gratuity for 3 people because they didn't deserve it! Right before we left a group of people came in and played their instruments which was cool to see As for the food, we ordered the sampler platter. Which I didn't really care to eat. I took a few bites and I wasn't a fan. The brisket, and chicken was really dry. Ribs were okay but the brisket was really most and had good flavor. The margarita was pretty good. I probably would not be coming back here read more

Finally this place is on Yelp. Went by a week after their opening. Good things - sports bar, casual vibe, good decor with a stallion in the center stage, chicken wings, beef brisket Mediocre - pulled pork, Smokey ribs Absolutely poor- chicken leg, that just don't have enough servers, they were running behind on a slow Thursday evening Street parking options read more

Parking Being right downtown I assumed I would have to pay for parking. To my pleasant surprise I was able to find free street parking close by. If you aren't able to find street parking, I did notice a garage around the corner. Service Our waitress was kind, attentive and answered our questions about the menu. We appreciated her honest opinions. Ambiance Being a Friday, I expected there to be much more of a crowd but there wasn't. And that's fine by me! I can see this being a popular place during game days. There is lots of seating and a nice bar area. There are a fews mounted onto the walls that were displaying sports shows. Food They do have happy hour specials. I arrived just after happy hour ended so I wasn't able to take advantage of any of the deals. I ordered smokey marg and the fish plate. The plate came with two sides and I decided on greens and the mac & cheese. My marg was good - a bit too sweet to compliment the smokey flavor but still a good drink. The fish had great flavor and cooked well. My favorite part of my meal was the collard greens. The mac & cheese disappointed me - it was too heavily seasoned with garlic powder. I opted for the dirty rice instead which was also heavily seasoned with pepper but not bad. For a $15 plate I hated that I was given plastic ware to eat it with :( read more

12/30/2023 @ 4:00pm approximate arrival. I would not recommend anyone to go to this resturant. I only gave it a two(food) because my wife liked the burger. First, there is automatically a 15% gratuity added to your bill (I tip well for good service as I used to work for service when I was younger). Force tip promotes crappy service. She took our order and never saw her again until the bill after 5pm. She already printed them ahead of time. No refills on drinks, how you are doing, NOTHING. She had no name tag and wore a yellow shirt. She went by indi on the receipt. This place should of been packed wall to wall since a stones throw to the Mercedes Benz stadium. No manager/owner checking in customers. Bartender brought out the food. No condiments on the table, we had to get up and go ask for them from the bartender. Again waitress no where to be seen or helpful. Food Appetizer, Pretzel had no flavor and cheese dip was over cooked Pulled pork sandwich was dry and wasn't a fan of the sauce (maybe it was just because of the little amount of sauce). Fries were great for some odd reason. Presentation looked good. My wife liked the stallion burger and fries. But again no service for refills. This is for the owner. Now this was really odd, drinks come out in a plastic solo type cup and silverware was pre-packaged white fork and knife with napkin salt and pepper. I get this for to go orders but not sit down meals. Come on owner this isn't that type of restaurant. This shows that this won't be in business much longer. The layout of this place was wasted by not putting in more seating. This place could be great location. The manager or owner should be out on the floor to check on customers (never did see them). Ticket time was way to slow with the amount of volume of people that were there. We paid cash, god knows how long it would of taken for that process. read more

Enjoyed a delightful lunch here. Huge spot good for groups or just a date. Lots of street parking but also walkable. The food was great and big portions. Our server was friendly and checked in on us. Would visit again as they have tons of themed events like wing Wednesday. Loved the pulled pork sandwich. read more

The ribs and tater tots were great; so were the beans. Great ambiance enjoyed the music they were playing also had sports on tvs. Service was a little slow for it being sort of empty when we were there, food came out promptly it was the waiting for the Togo boxes and check that took a long time read more

We checked out Smokey Stallion after leaving a Falcons game last month and had a hankering for some good BBQ. Smokey Stallion delivered on the good BBQ but was entirely average when it came to every other aspect. They didn't have half the sides advertised on the menu and said they hadn't offered those for a while. The drinks were fine and the other guests were enjoying themselves after a Falcons win! We took home half our meals for the next day so the portion sizes were definitely respectable. A good spot for after a game, but plenty of other American style bars and restaurants not far from the stadium to choose from if they don't have your meal that day. read more

Such great and casual food! Vibe was relaxed and service was fast. Was in the area for the weekend and I'm so glad I checked this place out! read more

Smokey Stallion - Salmon with Mac and Mac & Cheese and French Fries - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Absolutely abysmal service, and by that I mean, no service at all. We arrived shortly after opening to find an empty restaurant with a sign stating to seat yourself. We sat and waited for about 20 minutes, heard clattering in the kitchen and called out to see if anyone was available to take an order, but never got a response. What is the point in unlocking the doors if you're not ready to serve the customer? read more

Live across the street so always want to support local. Food has been ok but the last trip was bad - ordered a club salad for pick up and the chicken was far from fresh, mushy and pretty much scraps. Phone never rang to call back so leaving this review in hopes they improve. Would have watched the games there but TVs playing with a 90s DJ hella loud isn't my kinda college game day either. read more

Service was pretty good but the food left a lot to be desired. I had some barbecue nachos and the meat on the meal was poor quality. Lots of grisly pieces and very fatty. Don't think I would return. read more

We walked over to Smokey Stallion after a Falcons game for some BBQ before we headed back home. The food was good and our bartender was wonderful. I got the brisket plate and I loved the baked beans and dirty rice sides. The problem I had is that the brisket plate was the third entree I ordered and baked beans were the second side I ordered. You can't tell customers that 3 or 4 things on the menu are not available. You've either got to adjust your hours or adjust your menu, because that's no way to run a restaurant. It's probably fine to eat here during lunch or afternoon hours, because they probably haven't run out of anything at those times. But I can't recommend eating dinner there to anyone knowing there are potential issues with what is on the menu vs what they can actually serve. It's a shame, too, because my wife and I both really enjoyed our food. read more

Super fun bar. Not a dive but definitely not bougiie. Food is great (recommend the brisket sandwich, yummm). The patrons all dance with each other and the music is definitely on point. Loved this place! read more

Food is delicious and the service is great! This is going to be my new BBQ spot. I highly recommend coming and will be back. Everything I got was really good: The smoked Turkey, greens, dirty rice, and loaded nachos. They also had a live DJ (I went on a late Saturday afternoon) and he was playing great music to match the vibe. read more

Not a BBQ spot...Ordered pulled chicken on a spud. It was simply chunks of chicken with zero smoke flavor. Fried pickles...breading was nice, tempura I believe but soggy and soft. "Fresh angus beef" with a buffalo chicken wing. It was supposed to have buffalo sauce. It was a frozen burger. It was cooked well with decent flavor but still a frozen patty. read more

Service was horrible. We waited for 30 minutes for them to greet us and they didn't actually greet us, we had to go get somebody to take our order. After waiting another 15 minutes I had to go get someone else just to try and get our drinks. They spilled a drink on me. Food was horrible. The picture below is the "brisket plate." Definitely not worth $19. It was a piece of white bread with thin slices of brisket. I do not recommend this place to anyone read more

Smokey Stallion - Brisket plate. Horrible. $19 for 3 thin slices of brisket on a piece of white bread - Barbeque Near Me - Atlanta, Georgia

Worst Brisket ever! I have never seen brisket sliced like sandwich meat. Surely this place only stays in business because of the tourist stadium crowd. Because no one would ever choose to eat here a second time. I also had the fried okra and collard greens. Neither were worth commenting on. Save your time, money and taste buds by passing this place to find somewhere else to eat. read more

I went to eat here on a Saturday before a concert. The service was awful. It took 10 mins for them to even get our drink order. The drink order came out 15 mins after that. Only one drink came out. We had been sitting for 30 minutes one of the drinks never came out but our food came out long before. There was maybe 15 people in the restaurant but the service was not willing to take care of anyone but people at the bar. Multiple people walked out before their order was even taken. read more

Just no. People rather entertain their friends instead of helping in the restaurant that's obviously struggling. It took 30 min to take our order and another 30min before appetizers and another 30-45 min for staggered food. They still messed up my order. I went to this bbq smoke spot at Lacura parking lot tonight that was bangin! read more

Amazing BBQ, friendly staff. Keisha is an amazing bartender. Quick service, the owner even took time come say hello! Cas, the bar manager, makes a MEAN shot, spicy and well balanced, try the challenge!!! Chicharons were delicious as was the the brisket grilled cheese.

Delicious! I had the brisket sandwich and Lawd it was so good! I'm pulling up again soon!

The ribs & chicken was horrible I don't recommend this place. I think I'll call this place Baked Stallion bcuz I didn't taste any wood smoke in my bbq. read more

If I could give a negative star I would just for service! Sat for almost two hours with my family and still didn't receive my food! If you only had three people working and knew that you couldn't accommodate a family reunion, then say so instead of offering poor food service. Never coming back read more

The restaurant had a vibe but that food service was slow and definitely overrated. We went in after a private party. The staff was discombobulated the entire night. They didn't know rather to seat us or we just find our own seat. Once we sat down, we waited for over an hour for someone to take our order. Finally we went to the bar. The nachos were trash, all but a few chips were broken, the food was cold and the wait staff was horrible. The comedy show was funny but there needs to be a general manager in the place to make sure things run smoothly in the back and front of the house. read more

Overall, a welcome addition to the neighborhood. An upgrade over Smoke Ring, and some good specials too. .50 wings on Wednesdays, they're both smoked and jumbo so well worth it. Sundays has BOGO beer, can't beat that! Busy on falcons game days but slower on non falcons Sundays. Decent local place to watch a game enjoy some rock solid bbq. Wings and fries are legit good. My fiancée likes the brisket as well. read more

our experience here was probably the worst experience I've ever had in a restaurant. honestly. waitress was super kind and took our order, and it was on a really good track. 40 minutes went by refill our drinks. We were getting a little antsy, but it was all fine because they were busy. 10 minutes later she came and said our food be ready. Next 30 minutes, there was only one table left, and a couple people at the bar, a member of a group went up and asked for an update our food. I went with them. They asked me out soon, if not, we understood but were just going to leave. About 15 minutes later, they brought half of our food out, forgot my numbers food and had to make it. Then charge does the phone out plus gratuity at 15%(we had six people at our table) when the food did come out (an hour and 37 minutes later) it was not good. I was just really disappointed. I don't recommend it at all. I won't be going back :/ read more
