Deeelish! Incredible meats. Super fresh & flavorful sides. Humane portions. Quick, friendly service . Excellent! We out-of-towners were treated to a view of the special BBQ smokehouse.

Justin H

Some of the best BBQ in ATL. But definitely the best smoked wings I've ever had. The Habanero Mustard sauce is perfect. I'm also a huge fan of the pastrami Reuben . Great spot to watch the games too!

TJ

The smoked wings are really good. Plus there are a number of sauces you can choose from to apply to your wings . But what I like best, the wings taste good without any sauce added.

AJC

The beast of a sandwich is called the Archie Bunker . This delicious monster of a sandwich is smoked pulled pork on Texas Toast , topped with mac and cheese , sweet BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese . Read more

TJ

These roasted wings are great. Definitely giving anyone else a run for their money. Worth trying and testing out different sauces to see which ones you prefer.

AJC

Take your pick: how many wings can you score? 50,100 or 250? All wings are seasoned and smoked with your choice of plain, buffalo, Hotlanta, burnin’ Sherman, habanero-mustard, and a lot more! Read more

Heather McDonald

Pulled chicken salad is hearty & delish. It's not on the menu anymore, but you can request it. I use the sweet BBQ sauce as my dressing instead of the one it comes with :)

Chris Pollone

Can't go wrong with deviled eggs & the St. Louis ribs , but if the smoked sausage is available, definitely get it.

AJC

Sure, you could buy bottled BBQ sauce , but making your own is so much better. Join Matt Coggin, owner and pit master, for a class on making your own special sauce . Read more

Tuesday Trivia . Format: Team Trivia . Time: 8:00. Notes: Get there 20+ minutes early to score a table. Host doesn't like raunchy names since its a "family establishment"

Christopher York

Foods good! Price can get away from you but hey Eat Local right? I personally didn't like the spiked root beer at all and I love root beer ! :-( BUT over all a great place to eat!

Alex Bosworth

Service here is not good but the barbecue is great. Sauces aren’t anything too special but the brisket and smoked wings don’t even need it

Ansley Barfield

Boiled peanuts are kinda gnarly- but everything else is great! I recommend the Archie Bunker and the Jimbo Burger . Mac and cheese is also delicious!

Michael Henry

Never had good brisket out side of Texas till I found D.B.A. And the ribs and pastrami are also first rate!

Alexis Howell

Awesome find! So much better and cheaper than Fox brothers!!!!! Will def come back again....

Jamie Gordon

Get a Jammer Bomb and the Archie Bunker . Finish it off with The Bart for dessert . Also don't forget about Manly Monday! $1 PBR and all things manly.

Hey Jay

Sundays smoked fried chicken dinner special is hands down the best around. 3pc meal for $15. And worth every penny!!

John Kraft

Got pork bbq sandwich w/ slaw top ($8.75) & iced tea . No sides since $3 ea! Total $12+tip, which I don’t call cheap lunch . Good, but not great. Real bbq will have some fat, but several blobs, was ugh.

SEGA

Get the Archie Bunker - it's pulled pork , bbq sauce and macaroni and cheese on Texas toast (bacon optional)! - Kate, Assistant Community Manager

As a previous guest bartender here, I can tell you the DBA cocktails are amazing. I recommend the Georgia Mule...or really anything with moonshine .

Matt Dermody

The Archie bunker never lets me down. The house cocktails are pretty solid but they aren't that strong.

#ManlyMonday Smok-n-fried chicken , smoked Turkey Legs , $1 PBR , #BCS game, and $3 @PBR_USA http://t.co/0sIiDAkD

Marcelo Estrada

Cozy and friendly ... The BBQ is superior and beer selection excellent!

Chris Fuller

Try the Fried Pickles And Bacon With Ranch - A piece of the deep field bacon - good god. Stunning.

Jeff Hielsberg

Burger - where have you been? Present surprise to get a fresh not frozen burger cooked to perfection.

Matt Tripp

Try the off-menu Apple Pie moonshine . It's like drinking a liquid apple pie . If you're a fan of F/X's Justified, it's what Mags' recipe probably tastes like.

Annalise Carmack

Boiled peanuts : not good; mush. Wings : pretty good; Hotlanta sauce had some good heat. Pulled pork sandwich : disappointing; meat was bland & dry. No amount of sauce could help. Onion rings : awesome!

Patrick Lester

The Cheese and Corn Muffins are a must before, during or after your meal. I like to take them home for a late night snack or breakfast .

Jennifer Warawa

Highly recommend the whole house platter with the cream corn - it's the best ever and my new favorite side!

Jeremy Porter

Get the grilled creamed corn or sweet potater tots as one of your sides, they're yummy.

Jeff Hielsberg

Best fried chicken in Atlanta. Sadly it's only Sunday night. Worth the trip. Perfect smoked fried chicken !!!!

Erin G.

Get the Archie bunker w/ chicken instead of pork & a side of collards , thank me later.

Holly Clifton

The brisket is amazing with Bryan's tangy bbq sauce and a Jailhouse Breakout Stout !

Dennis Murray

Great pulled pork . Juicy and tender, good bark and flavor without sauces.

Michael Henry

The great brisket and pastrami will melt in your mouth.

Thomas Wessels

Gotta taste the Atlanta style wings . So good! And if you're bold enough you should order an illegalATLien.

Christina Homer

The Archie Bunker is amazing (who doesn't love mac & cheese on a pork sandwich on Texas toast ? Mmmm)!

Occupy My Family Atlanta

No matter the meat, the 'cue is always juicy! We also recommend the Texas creamed corn !

Wesley Brackett

The free check-in Gumbo is great. A bit expensive , but very good quality. The mac-n-cheese is unbelievable.

Diana Baldwin

The Moonshine that is sweet is more like a a sweet liquer . Go for Smokier ones, like a fine Scotch with some smokiness to it.

Tilsit MO

Pulled pork and pimento cheese are great!

Kiersten F

Ask for Shaka and all will be right in the world.

Daniel Walker

The smoked turkey is delicious!
