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.

Chicken Wings

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

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

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 :(

Forced tip for crappy service
Dean C.

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.

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.

Salmon with Mac and Mac & Cheese and French Fries
Kathryn G.

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!

Mushy, grimy "chicken"
Roy N.

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.

Brisket melt and Cole slaw
Michael H.

What better way to deal with the blahs of a rainy day than to go out for BBQ. Smokey Stallion did not disappoint. The service was friendly and the food was down home good!! I'll be back for sure.

Smoked Turkey leg plate with greens and dirty rice
Cassidy A.

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.

Fried pickles

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.

Brisket plate. Horrible. $19 for 3 thin slices of brisket on a piece of white bread

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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!

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.

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.

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!
