    Braised Greens
    D W.

    Ok, let me first say that the brisket grilled cheese was really, really tasty! That alone would have warranted a 5 star review coupled with the friendly service and freshness of food. Could use a little more meat, but I digress. However... The BRAISED GREENS were honestly the worst greens I've ever tasted. I say tasted because after two bites (had to confirm), I couldn't eat another. It was like eating sugary greens with a chaser of balsamic vinegar. Though visible, there was no garlic taste within arm's reach because it was overshadowed by whatever sweetener they used. For such a simple side, it really ruined the meal for me. Ah well. I'm sure my next visit will raise my rating one way or another.

    Passing through town on our way home to Cleveland, close friends picked us up at the ATL airport and brought us to this cute neighborhood for beers (down the street) and then a BBQ dinner at Wood's Chapel. You could smell the smoke upon arrival, so my "spidey senses" were immediately going off! Very low-key and basic inside, but I was there for the food so who cares?!?!? I ordered a two-meat platter to share with my wife...ribs, sliced brisket, mac-n-cheese, tater tots and an added side salad. The smoke ring on the brisket and ribs was evident, and the caramelized sauce on the ribs really hit the spot. Mac-n-cheese made with spiral noodles was mildly creamy and the tots were as crispy as they come and seasoned well. Side salad was crunchy and fresh. We all really enjoyed our meal here...would most certainly return and a session on the patio would be ideal!

    Unbelievably good bbq in the Summerhill area, with friendly service and a cool warehouse vibe The ambience and service were both terrific. The building has an old brick warehouse vibe with high ceilings, big windows and picnic tables. Staffers at both the order counter/bar and bringing the food to the table were friendly and helpful with suggestions. The food was amazingly good. Pulled pork sandwich was among the best I've had, with collards and creamed corn as sides. Just have a Diet Coke to counteract the cholesterol LOL. One cool thing is they leave off the sauce and you get your choice from the sauce table

    At the end of the day, this is a neat BBQ spot located off of Downtown Atlanta in the Auburn District. I went here after Sunday service at a nearby church. When we went inside, the setup was neat and I like how it had the feel of a real BBQ spot. I ordered the ribs and smoked wings and my guest ordered the smoked Turkey and brisket. The sauces were on the side and we dove in. The wings were very good. Nice and juicy and the ribs just right. Very friendly staff and the prices are reasonable. Plus, you get plenty of food. I think this place is a steal and definitely worth a try.

    This is one of our favorite places to eat, so I am shocked that I haven't reviewed it yet. You order at the counter, they give you a number, and then you sit down and wait for your food. They have all sorts of cocktail drinks and lovely slushies that you can enjoy. I prefer the Coke bourbon slushy. They have some games in the back room, and there is cornhole outside. There is a large patio that you can sit on, but if you prefer the air conditioning, you can enjoy the inside. My favorite time to eat here is Saturday because they have salmon on Saturdays. They used to have it all the time, but it's only on Saturday. I love their mac and cheese, and their beet slaw is phenomenal and unique. My husband likes to get their ribs, as the meat falls off the bone.

    After leaving a bad review, a partner in this business decided to reach out on Instagram and be super unprofessional. Just wanted y'all to know it was never about the community with their change. It was only about their intentions to be greedy and do any desperate attempt to keep that. Todd Ginsberg Needs training in the customer service department. It's so sad that a restaurant couldn't keep its own identity and now they're doing anything with this fusion to keep the doors open. Like debating the members of the community that didn't like change. I don't see these doors staying open much longer The original review! First off been coming to this spot for years at least 50 times; one of the few places I treat myself and after today probably won't go back. they took off all of their best items off the menu, no more greens, no more pork and beans, can't buy brisket by the pound 30$ or 1/2 pound 15$, now you can only get a 1/3 pound for 14$; and the manager claimed it was cheaper. That would make a pound 42$; less for more. this establishment should have used this new found energy to better their craft in BBQ, leveling up their game, being a staple for Atlanta. Instead They jumped into restaurant suicide with this Tex-Mex Fusion Idea; not considering the community that already loved what they brought to the table. not sure if it's new owner ship or management but even staff members feeling the same; the menu is ruined; Shows this wasn't thought out very well. Hope they jump back to old ways before it's to late and find ways to level up the BBQ this community has grown to love

    Brisket! Tater salat! Beans! All tasty.
    Christina C.

    I have been coming here for a while so I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed it earlier. Lots to like! The corn is amazing, the beans are also great. The brisket and pulled pork are my go to but lately we have been getting the catfish. Good music, a few fun games in the back. What's not to love? Easy breezy good times and great food. Large patio and believe it or a not a decent place to work for a short time. The long tables are close to outlets. Bench seating and fairly loud but good music aren't great for major work or study sessions but certainly ideal for a quickie while refueling. Stay away from the frose if working tho!

    I visited here awhile back in 2022 first time I was a newbie. I got a order of chicken wings with sauce and sliced brisket with pickles and onions. Going to this place at the first time I tried just that and I don't remember fully scanning the menu at the time. I ordered from the outside at the time park by the pizza building and I didn't visit inside. It was summertime and kind of crowded outside sitting at a bench with other people waiting for their orders some people by their self other people with pet dogs. This time I actually checked the menu online before I visited. They have a full bar available for those who want a drink. I came here in person so I had a idea of what I wanted. I also checked the menu while inside of the restaurant. I'm glad that I came back when I did it was not real busy at the time just right for me to place my order and go. I ordered the grilled cheese brisket sandwich or melt and the brisket sandwich and a banana pudding. The brisket melt is delicious! I got 3 individual sauces 1 red sauce 2 mustard sauces. I dipped half of the melt in the red sauce the other half in the mustard sauce delicious! This sandwich is delicious it will definitely make me comeback! The brisket is winning here because they don't have beef ribs! I'm sure that my other food items will be delicious also. I live closer to this restaurant than I did previously being that I'm in Decatur GA and not Clarkston GA any more. Definitely worth the trip not a disappointment! Pull up and check them out for yourself you will be glad that you did. I visited on 1-14-2026.

    This is my favorite BBQ place in Atlanta. I can never get enough of their smoked turkey. The sides are great. Friendly and efficient staff! The place is comfortable and inviting too. And today, they had peach hand pies on the menu!!!

    The service was fast and food was out very quickly! It was not too busy when I went, which was around 3 pm on a Friday. There was a sauce bar with different kinds of BBQ, Hot Sauce, mustards, etc. The food was yummy and the portions were pretty big! The sides were all really tasty, with my favorite being the Pork Beans! I am also not usually big on Mac and Cheese, but this Mac and Cheese was SO good! The slushies were very very yummy, and they definitely did their job! Both the Margarita and the Seasonal Raspberry flavors were tasty, and you can't go wrong with either one! There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, and this place has a vibe that would be great for a weekend hangout with friends!

    Does the pulled pork have BBQ sauce on it or is it served plain? Wife is not a fan of sauces. Thanks!

    I also like mine dry . They will do it without sauce if you like / sauce on the side .
