Angela Evans

Loved this place! Line was long but worth the wait! You HAVE to get the Mac n cheese ! The fries were delicious too (dip in BBQ sauce ). Kitchen sink salad was one of the best salads ever!!!

AJC

Any spot that brags about  being a "mac and cheese restaurant that happens to do BBQ" clearly knows where their bread is buttered. The mac and cheese here is creamy, cheesy, dreamy and delicious. Read more

Jamal Liverpool

I had the brisket sandwich with the Mac and cheese . Brisket had great taste, tenderness, and smoke rings! The Mac was creamy, cheesy, and had the rigatoni noodles . Don't be scared of the lines !

Gregory Fisher

The BBQ here is amazing! Their sides are just like Grandma used to make but on steroids!!!! Great customer service! I love the baked beans , Mac n' cheese , blackeyed peas and collards !

Denise Gowitdawind Larkin

Ribs , pulled pork , sloppy Joe , mac and cheese , black eyed peas , and Brunswick stew are good. Potato salad was tangy , not my style. Very nice atmosphere. Good customer service. Will be back...

Thomas Corrao

Checked Foursquare because we were unfamiliar with the area and the Community Q was very highly rated. The food did not disappoint and was delicious. I would recommend this place to others.

No local pulled-pork sandwich is as consistently adept at balancing the smoke, the moisture, the bark, and portion size as the one at Community Q , one of CL's 100 best dishes to eat before you die. Read more

Creative Loafing Atlanta

Take a big bowl of local lettuces, coat 'em with vinegary dressing , add seasonal vegetables from farmer partners and you have the Kitchen Sink salad — one of CL's 100 Best Dishes. Read more

The mac n cheese was recommended by a GA native. Definitely my favorite side dish here! Pulled pork BBQ is one of the best I've had in ATL (though not the south 😁)

Atlanta Eats TV

From pulled pork and chicken to St. Louis style ribs and smoked sausage , his menu is a meat lover’s paradise. Especially the beef ribs , which were soft, tender and full of flavor. Read more

Creative Loafing Atlanta

Their take on a classic Reuben is made with thick chunks of smoked corned beef brisket , but replaces the Russian dressing with a thin schmear of Thousand Island . Read more

Charlie Mote

BEST NEW RESTAURANT IN DECATUR IN FIFTEEN YEARS  . Consistent quality, standards, offerings and service. I never write reviews, but they have earned it. If you like BBQ , you will like Community Q ! 

Matt Salisbury

Beef ribs !!! I still love Fox Brothers the most but Community Q will never disappoint you. Fox bro on Tuesday and Saturday but The Q every other day of the week for beef ribs .

Taylor Banks

Paleo friendly , local and organic meats and produce (Whole30 friendly ), super friendly staff and lightning fast service . What more could you ask for? :-)

Pierre Dinet

beef brisket was quite nice, house bbq sauce slightly sweet with a subtle zing to it..brunswick stew ok, Mac n cheese , fabulous, 2 thumbs up..washed it all down with a glass of good "sweet tea "

Sam Green

Being from England, Im still adjusting to Southern eating... but I must say, the food at Community Q will convert anyone to saying 'Y'ALL'! Good on Price but wish there were more mix n match options.

PureWow

The soupy, satisfying mac and cheese typically comes as a side, but we think we'll order four next time. Read more

Tom Nguyen

I'm usually not a fan of bbq , but I dig the beef brisket plate here. The atmosphere is relaxed, and the staff are always friendly .

Kim Kinney

Tuesdays are smoked Reuben day! My favorite thing! They also have the best Mac n cheese I've ever put in my mouth.

Constance Duncan

Pulled Pork Sandwich w / 2 sides - Fries ( sweet ) & Potato & Bacon Soup w / Mushrooms & Corn 🌽 🍄 🐽

TJ

Great Collard Greens ! Great Mac n' Cheese ! Great Beef Ribs ! Great French Fries ! One of my favorite BBQ Restaurants in ATL!!! (Decatur that is)

Denise Gowitdawind Larkin

The ribs are delicious! Sloppy Joe is very good. Black eyed peas and Mac and cheese were also good.

Maggie Harrington

The brisket and the pork are both amazing!! Get them in a combo plate then get sides of Mac n cheese and collard greens !! Incredible.

Ashley King

Brisket was so tender and juicy. The pulled pork and Mac and cheese were delicious too

Vivian Wen

Beef ribs are currently on preorder only (give them 2-3 days) because of a back order and therefore increase in price. The rest of the food is superb as always.

Ejaazi Zahir

Very good food!! Health rating was 94/A. Service was good and it was relatively clean inside.

Creative Loafing Atlanta

Everything is just too good. The french fries are so addictive that they've been dubbed "crack fries ." The specials board usually features items made from local ingredients .

James Kiernan

Ribs , sausage and all the sides were tasty as fuck! Get involved!

Constance Duncan

Only 1 register open so line gets jammed . Totally worth the wait plus they're very efficient 🐷🐔 🐮

Matt Dempsey

You gotta go to Community Q BBQ. It's the best in town , especially the beef short rib . The only problem is it's sold out right now due to the Korean BBQ places buying out the good stuff.

Matt Dermody

All of the sandwiches are served up on Texas toast . I'd recommend the pulled pork over anything else.

Giovanni Corredor

Pulled pork and pulled chicken are delicious. I appreciate they have gluten free options .

Sam Lack

Had the brisket today, so tender and delicious! Great in combo with pulled chicken .

Jodie Cain

Favorite pulled pork sandwich ... Ever. Yummy Mac n cheese and sweet tea . My fave BBQ place in Atlanta, and I <3 BBQ . :)

Andrew Filar

Was very good, enjoyed the Brisket . Not as good as Fat Matt’s but solid value. Great desserts .

Potato & Bacon Soup w / Potatoes & Corn was excellent 💯

Shannon Scheller

Tried the pulled chicken and the brisket ; they were both delicious. I look forward to eating here again.

Glenn Deans

Great meats and sides. Pricing is the same as other good BBQ joints .

Atlanta

Grab your choice of beef or pork ribs and pair them with some of the best mac 'n cheese in the city .

Sam Lack

Rib combo was fantastic. Moist turkey , great sides.

Howard Schreiber

Their vinegar-based BBQ sauce rivals some of the best Eastern NC BBQ sauce I've ever had.

Fernando

Half rack was awesome! Lots of meat.. Mac n cheese to die for

Creative Loafing Atlanta

Leave it to this barbecue place with a commitment to local food to elevate a salad the same way it has barbecue with it's Kitchen sink salad Read more

Amy

Brisket is great. Ask for it lean or it will be somewhat fatty. Bbq sauce is sweet. Friendly staff . Expect to wait in a line near dinner time. Not a lot of tables. But worth wait.

Constance Duncan

Easy to read large menu board 🐖🐓 🐃

MARK THOMAS

Brisket Roobens (sic) - only on Tuesdays - one of my new favorite sandwiches .

Halbo

Love the Sloppy Joes made with beef brisket , homemade sauce with jalapeño in it

Matt Burns

OMG! The best Mac-N-Cheese EVER! Probably not the healthiest item on the menu but definitely the tastiest!
