    Blue Sky Combo Plate (2 meats, 2 sides) Brisket, Ribs, Chili and Collard Greens
    John C.

    After a visit the Georgia Aquarium, I wanted to grab lunch, and this seemed to be a highly reviewed spot based on Yelp and Google. It wasn't too far away, so I thought I would give it a try. There was a World Cup game at the stadium at the time, so I thought it could get busy, but it was actually on the quiet side. I was given a seat right away. It looks like a rustic BBQ place. It took awhile for the server to come by. Probably over 15 minutes. I don't totally blame her because the customer she was with was talking non-stop. One of the other servers noticed and took my order because they saw what happened. But once my main server was freed up, she was friendly and attentive. Food came out quickly too. What I tried: - Complimentary Pork Rinds: Good. The smaller pieces were the perfect texture, but some of the larger pieces were very touch. - Beef Brisket: Excellent. Just way good BBQ should be. Super tender and juicy, with no real need for sauce because all the flavour is already there. - Ribs: OK. They were tender, but not very meaty. They seemed like ribs I could get any restaurant. - Collard Greens: Very good. My server recommended this one. I haven't had a lot of collard greens before, and when I have, it's always been forgettable. But not this one. The liquid had noticeably more vinegar, which made it so much better. - Brisket Chili: Good. It was a straightforward, but good chili. The jalapenos have it a little bit of extra flavour. Overall, a good BBQ I enjoyed. If I were in the area again, I would not hesitate to return to have more of the brisket and collard greens.

    Visited from the west coast. Twin Smokers BBQ is about their business. If you're from out of town and you like barbecue you need to give this place a try. The burnt ends and brisket sandwich were awesome! The moment you walk in you're met with the aroma of smokey goodness from Matthew and Elizabeth (the smokers!) They're walking distance from the Hilton, Omni, and the Moxy. No reason not to give them a try. Come through and show love! Shouts out to Anthony for the service and recommendations!

    Beef Brisket Sandwich with choice of side

    Tourist trap - Baaaad bad bad. They know it's garbage and they don't rely on repeat business. The one time business foot traffic is enough for them. $20 for a brisket sandwich and one measly side that they didn't even fill up all the way. $12 for the kids portion which was even more pathetic. Staff was nice but the food was sub par and horrendous portions.

    Service was fast and friendly. I was suited and had my food in under 10 minutes. The ribs had a great smokey flavor without being overwhelming. The brisket can great flavor use so tender that it fell apart. Had to finish cornware and casserole. I will definitely come back here before I leave town!

    Looking for BBQ lunch within walking distance of the aquarium? This is likely the closest place. Great beers, BBQ that does the trick for a quick fix. Food: 4/5 pork rinds come with the table and were better than the gas station bags I've had. I would recommend getting the southern style brisket and the pulled pork butt. Ribs were good but a little on the drier side, and I've had better sausage elsewhere but they weren't bad. The loaded baked potato with brisket was pretty good, but the shredded cheese is not melted, and I personally prefer a slightly mushier baked potato. Seasonal sides were broccoli salad and sweet potato casserole which were delicious, but the normal sides of coleslaw and mac n cheese were more 3/5. Mac n cheese tasted like Velveeta, not baked. Coleslaw was a little watery and on the plain side. Banana pudding on the other hand - amazing. Small serving cup for $5 but worth trying! Drinks: Monday Night Brewery sour was a perfect balance of berry and lemon. Creature Comforts Tropical IPA was pretty good as well. Service: 5/5 loved our server! She was personable and answered all our questions. Staff appeared to be in good spirits as well which is always pleasant. Ambiance: popular music from 2010s was playing at a good volume, barstools in the middle of the restaurant surrounding the bar, seating was mostly booths otherwise.

    A really good BBQ restaurant in downtown ATL, and we were quite surprised it was that good. Ate a nice dinner here with some ice cold beer. The smoked sausage and beef brisket were probably our favorite with the mac 'n cheese and smoked wings. Service was pretty good with friendly and helpful servers. it.

    The ambiance of this place was amazing and the person that helped us was super nice! My first bite of the food melted in my mouth. I thought the cornbread was ok. It wasn't my favorite

    This place lives up to its reputation online for having mouthwatering brisket sandwiches! We walked to the establishment in advance of a concert, and were so pleased with the comfortable seats at the bar, the outstanding service and the very reasonable pricing! Would definitely go again if in downtown Atlanta!

    Best food we had in Georgia!! Really tasty BBQ. We had the brisket, a pulled pork sandwich and the BBQ smoked chicken wings. Glad we tried all three, 10/10 all around. We ordered takeout from the bar and waited about 20 minutes. Generous BBQ sauce with each entree and the ranch with the wings was soooo good. Husband loved the brisket. Place was busy yet felt welcoming. Definitely recommend.

    Burnt Ends
    Anirudh J.

    I was in Atlanta on a layover and I had to get some lunch. I was craving BBQ and I heard about this spot. I got burnt ends with a side of coleslaw. The burnt ends were delicious, some bites melted in your mouth more than others. They have their regular sauce, vinegar based sauce, and spicy sauce. 100% go for the spicy sauce with your BBQ here. It's not that spicy and adds a slight kick without being too overpowering.

    Smoked Wings - 10

    The food was better than expected, but be prepared to leave smelling like smoke. We were seated fairly quickly, and soon after ordered drinks and were told which meats were sold out - my favorite, pulled pork was one of them. I ordered the chicken sandwich with mac and cheese and added on the collard greens. THE best collard greens I've ever had! I completely forgot about the sandwich entirely and devoured the collards. The macaroni and cheese were good. It wasn't as thick or cheesy as what I'm used to, but it was a decent macaroni and cheese. The chicken on the chicken sandwich was unbelievable. It was juicy, smooth and tender, and not reminiscent of chicken at all. I have to know the secret to cooking it that perfectly. This is an ideal casual eatery with quick and knowledgeable service and amazing BBQ. They were able to accommodate our big party on the fly. I recommend getting here before 4pm when some of the items may go out of stock.

    So far not impressed. Service is slow and the server we had wasn't knowledgeable about the menu. We had to ask and follow up and ask again. I hope the food makes up for it. Well.. just got my food, my chicken is missing . Guess I will have to wait for that too! So never got the chicken BUT the Mac was good and so were the ribs but after 20 mins of not having my full order I just asked for a few more ribs. So yeah service is a struggle but the waitress seemed young and inexperienced but nice. She discounted our bill so I appreciate that.

    Brisket Baked Potato, Mac and cheese, combo plate, sweet potato casserole and potato salad.
    Jolynn C.

    We were sat right away, our waitress was nice! She refilled our drinks without even asking! We started with the corn bread, it was ok, a little too moist. The brisket baked potato was the perfect size. It is an appetizer but was a full meal for me. The mac and cheese was alright, not the best. My husband said the potato salad was the best potato salad he's had! The sweet tea was tasty! The sweeter bbq sauce was really good! Only downside was the mac and cheese, corn bread and paying for parking.

    Are soft drinks fountain or bottled/canned?

    Soft drinks are fountain. However, be aware that if you order water, it is not free. You will be charged for a non-alcoholic (NA) drink. We had never seen this before and were surprised when our bill came, but it is apparently a growing trend used… 

    Is there parking at this location?

    Directly across the street in the deck. It's free. Get them to stamp it inside restaurant.

    Is smoker(s) inside of restaurant?

    Yes, but enclosed and not smoky

    Is there anything a vegetarian can eat besides sides?

    Yikes... I'd prob not recommend this place for a vegetarian.

    Is their beef halal?

    They use Creekstone beef. All Creekstone beef is halal.

    Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q…read more Fox Bros. has that hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint feel, but with plenty of space to hang out. There's a bar along with both indoor and outdoor seating, and the overall atmosphere is casual and laid-back. Our waitress was incredibly friendly and gave us some great recommendations, which definitely added to the experience. We went with the three-meat sampler and chose the brisket, ribs, and jalapeño cheddar sausage, with tots and the Fox-a-Roni for our sides. The Fox-a-Roni--a combination of their Brunswick stew and mac & cheese--was absolutely delicious and easily one of the most memorable sides I've had at a BBQ restaurant. The brisket was honestly some of the best brisket I've ever had. It was tender, flavorful, and easily my favorite of the three meats. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was also really good, and while the ribs tasted great, ours were pretty small and didn't have a ton of meat on them. My only real complaint was the portioning of the sampler. We were told that as you choose a larger variety of meats, you essentially receive smaller portions of each. I understand the idea of a sampler, but we literally received one slice of brisket and two-three fairly small ribs, so the portion-to-variety concept didn't make a ton of sense to me. I would've preferred slightly more substantial portions, especially considering how good the brisket was! I also ordered a cocktail, but unfortunately it wasn't really for me. It came across very sweet and mostly juice, although I think that may have been more about the particular drink I chose than the bar itself. Overall, the food absolutely delivered. Between the incredible brisket, Fox-a-Roni, friendly service, and laid-back BBQ atmosphere, Fox Bros. was definitely worth the stop. I'd happily come back--I'd just skip the 3 meat sampler next time and order more of that brisket!

First time visiting Atlanta and had to stop by and try out this highly rated establishment and so happy I made it part of my list. We arrived towards the end of the night with enough time before closing but obviously not realizing there are a few dishes that sell out so keep that in mind. Nevertheless service was stand out once we walked in and were kindly greeted by the host. We then sat down at our table and were then greeted with our server Tiffany. Let me just say we need a Tiffany everywhere, this girl really went above and beyond and truly welcomed us and genuinely was just a pleasure to interact with through out the whole visit. She really wanted to give us the best experience and recommendations for our first visit and let me just say everything was amazing and the service was top tier, such a great place with a great atmosphere, service and amazing food. What more can you ask for. She would def be the reason we visit Atlanta again and go back to eat here.

If there was a rub, it was subtle to the point of being almost untasteable. Quarter rack of Ribs: poor. Meaty, but far too tough, definitely not fall off the bone. Again lacking in flavor, and burnt in spots. Side of Mac n Cheese: easily the start of the show. Very flavorful, baked and not swimming in cheese sauce, possible notes of ritz crackers detected. I'd have eaten a main course sized portion, and imagine it could mix well with pulled pork or chopped brisket, should Matt's ever consider expanding their repertoire of meats. Side of potato salad: also very solid. Simple but nicely flavored, just creamy enough. Side of collards: fine but unremarkable. Bbq sauce: decent-ish, more tangy than sweet. Very thick. Packaging : Matt's really could improve here. The ribs and chicken, piled together between two slices of white bread, was wrapped in white paper which was in turn stuffed into a paper bag with the containers of sides. This was messy- yes, bbq is by nature a messy undertaking, but a clamshell container would've made the whole fiasco a lot easier to deal with. A fork and spoon were included, no knife... and no napkins. Really? For a paper wrapped oversauced pile of meat... not even a single napkin? I honestly would've been fine paying an extra buck or so for some better packaging and, IDK, maybe a wetnap. Overall, this bbq lover was unimpressed. Perhaps the rave reviews made my expectations too high. I've honestly had better bbq at multiple places in my relative bbq desert hometown of Boston. I was hoping for a real treat during my business trip to Atlanta; instead, I'm yearning for the joint near my suburban New England home...

Also, the smoked chicken wings are a must try. It is also one of the last places you can get them in Atlanta that I have seen. The sauces are amazing but remember this is not Texas BBQ.

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.

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!
