Best Barbeque in Metro Atlanta???

[3S00W]

I'm from Memphis so not much impresses me here in ATL. I have to say, Fat Matt's was a close call to actual BBQ.

I cant speak about ATL barbeque, But if your ever in Augusta you have to try Sconyers Barbeque. He cooked for Jimmey carter on the White House lawn in the 70's.

I really like Fat Matt's when I am in town working. Otherwise, I have a couple of good ones around Woodstock and Canton. Bubba-Q has really good ribs and Williamson Bros is not bad for some quick BBQ.

If you're in the Alpharetta or Cumming area, make the drive up to Amos BBQ - this is a small family owned place on 369 (actually has a Ball Ground address) It's an old farmhouse that was moved from it's original location in S GA, I believe. The place is VERY rustic, and a great place to buy firewood as well! Their pulled pork sandwiches are great, and they have brisket that is out of this world! Go let David and the rest of the crew hook you up!

I'm with you on that. I grew up eating Rendezvouz ribs, Interstate BBQ, and Three Little Pigs.

I go through there a couple of times a week and always get hungry smelling their food cooking. I will have to stop in and give them a try.

The BBQ places in Atlanta I enjoy in order of preference are as follows. Atlanta is not Memphis, the Carolinas or Texas so you have to rate with an open mind.

Fat Matt's, JRs, Williams and Bros, One Star Ranch.

The best BBQ in Atlanta is at my house.

No one has mentioned Pappy Red's.

And I agree that Fat Matt's is one of the better BBQ establishments in Atlanta. Fox Bros isn't bad either.

X2 on The Swallow in Roswell, but I hear that BubbaQ in Woodstock and Jasper has won some awards for their brisket.

My dad swears by Harold's in Atlanta, been eating there for about 50 years
