Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 25, 2013The enormous beef rib packs an enormous punch. If you're able to get one (they sell out often) you can find out why it's one of CL's 100 dishes to eat before you die. Read more
Meat takes the spotlight at this world famous BBQ joint, but vegetarians can enjoy a terrific meal here as well. Try the griddled pimento cheese sandwich paired with one of many delicious side items.
Djaniella D.September 12, 2016I'd recommend going splitsies on the Everything Plate - choice of four meat portions: pulled pork, beef brisket, 4 chicken, ribs, 4 wings. Also, don't overlook the jalapeño cornbread w/ honey butter!
AFAR MediaOctober 8, 2014The Little Five Points favorite serves up Texas-style faves like pulled pork and Flintstones-sized ribs. The sides are equally tasty, especially the mac and cheese, tater tots, and Brunswick stew. Read more
Elizabeth IrizApril 1, 2016Get the sampler plate and share it. It's too much for one person but a great way to try a few things. Oh and did I mention the banana pudding?!
- Creative Loafing AtlantaApril 25, 2013As far as veggie sandwiches go, the smoked portobello sandwich one is meaty, messy fun, with its oozy pimento cheese and pickled jalapeños. Plus, it's on CL's 100 dishes to eat before you die list! Read more
AmySeptember 8, 2016Had the ribs sandwich and it was good/on par with Community BBQ. The Lopez (tater tots) was the best part of the meal. Don't know if it's worth the long wait but definitely good food!
- Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 1, 2015Hollowed-out jalapeños are filled with cheddar and cream cheese, pulled pork, and spicy barbecue sauce. Then they're battered in seasoned flour and breadcrumbs and fried to order. Read more
Connie ChiuJanuary 14, 2020Delicious meats! fatty brisket is probably amongst the best I’ve ever had. spare ribs are great. Bean, collard greens, and this other side with a mix of greens, mac, and corn is 🤤 corn bread too!
Cristian LöfvallOctober 28, 2017We had the combo platter with brisket, pulled pork and ribs. All amazing. We had the Frito-Pie as a side (and you should too!), delicious! The food was ready so quick! No kidding, less than 5 mins!
Mike DSeptember 30, 2012Try the Chicken Fried Ribs. They will blow your mind! We also had the Special "Flinestone sized" Beef short rib which was exactly as described and even more delicious.
Powerpuff GirlMarch 30, 2014Pulled Pork, delicious, melt in your mouth goodness. I don't care for the sandwich Coz' the bread just waters down the pork taste. Only negative is I wish they had a selection of sauces on the table..
LaurissaMay 29, 2015Everything is good. Seriously, you can't go wrong here. We love the Texas fries (as an entree) with beef brisket. The quartered chicken is great and so is the pulled pork. The beans are *outstanding*.- Creative Loafing AtlantaMay 1, 2015After rub and brown sugar are massaged onto the St. Louis-style ribs, the racks are smoked over hickory wood until the bones are easy to pull apart. Go ahead, lick your fingers in public. Read more
Ricardo ValdesApril 20, 2016Sooo good. Portions are big. The 3 meat combo platter way too much food. Could've split the sucker. Beef ribs and brisket way better than pork ribs and pulled pork in my opinion. A bit of a wait.
MikeFebruary 16, 2015The beer is reasonably priced. Make sure to try their wings - they have the best sauce on the planet. I'm also a big fan of the chopped brisket and ribs. The pulled pork is good but doesn't outshine.
Aaron PetersSeptember 16, 2017As someone who is accustomed to eating BBQ in Texas, the brisquet and cheddar jalapeno sausage were on point! The lot was packed so I had to park around the block, but it was worth the walk and wait- EaterOctober 4, 2011All about gut-bombs at the icon that proved great BBQ is possible in Atlanta. Tater tots covered in chili & cheese, massive short ribs, Frito pie & fried mac & cheese are staples. [Eater 38 Member]
Here's your full meal: cold beer, the Lopez, smoked chicken wings, beef rib (on Thursdays and Saturdays) otherwise the ribs or 'The Fox Bros Burger' and finish off with the banana pudding. Enjoy!
Ricky HowellFebruary 16, 2014Brisket, ribs, pull pork are all good. Great sides like collard greens, stewed green beans, baked beans, and potato salad. I don't believe you will be disappointed by anything you choose.
KaitlinJanuary 23, 2017Hands down my favorite BBQ place in Georgia, perhaps in the whole country. Great pulled pork and brisket, and be sure to try the white sauce!
Sharon TousantNovember 3, 2012Ok so we all know the brisket is tasty. However, they had this special sweet potato cheesecake & it was awe inspiring. I bake and taste everything sweet potato related & this was the best I ever had!
Suja RamachandranMay 1, 2013Surprising fantastic vegetarian food! Portabello burger and side of jalep cornbread: both delicious. Watch out for the spicy jalep mayo in the burger (get it on the side if you are a woos :) ).
Ejaazi ZahirApril 16, 2016Excellent! The mac & cheese was so good, the coleslaw was fresh and deli-like and the chicken and brisket was delicious!
Yera HaJanuary 13, 2015YOU GUYS. Get the pulled pork plate, frito pie, mac n cheese, slather on that bbq sauce and FIND YOURSELF IN COUNTRY HEAVEN.
DailyCandyNovember 20, 2013The beef brisket is a must-have at the award-winning outpost with a divey dining room and huge patio. Eat up, and then take home a bottle of the knock-your-socks-off sauce.
360 MediaAugust 10, 2012Hands down one of the best BBQ joints in Atlanta! It’s so hard to choose what to order, but the hickory smoked wings covered in homemade sauce pack a punch in just the right spot. -LC
TV Food MapsAugust 31, 2015Check out Fox Bros BBQ as it was featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives for Amazing BBQ serving up homemade smoked brisket and pork. Try the Fox Burger which is actually brisket. Read more
Bruce LeeJune 25, 2012I enjoy the ribs here at Fox Bros. Also on the side menu, their frito'pie is real good and the jalapeño cornbread is my personal favorite. Parking is limited at times and a wait is normal. Enjoy
AtlantaAugust 30, 2013Consistently rated some of the best bbq in the country, Fox Bros. is where to go for grabbing a cold one and some of their famous brisket while taking in the sun.
Jackie InterianNovember 26, 2015Absolutely delicious! I had the pulled pork with tots and Mac and cheese. Highly recommend this place.
Quite possibly the best tater tots in Atlanta. Perfectly fried so they're crispy, crunchy on the outside and tender inside. Lightly seasoned with salt and (I'm guessing) Old Bay. Delicious!
Lateshia MitchellDecember 22, 2013The food here is so good! From the barbecue to the sides, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. The green beans and the baked beans and the ribs, yummy!
Get Local ATLJune 21, 2012BBQ lovers rejoice! Fox Bros Bar-B-Q is an Atlanta institution for a reason. Make sure you try the Frito Pie, and check out Dine ATL On Demand to see our behind the scenes look at the restaurant.
Phil KatzJanuary 15, 2017The wings are stellar, as are all the sides. The brisket and pulled pork can be a bit dry, though. And whatever you do, arrive early and expect to wait!
Awesome BBQ goodness. Be sure to try Brisket, Mac and Cheese along with a Frito Chili Pie.
- Corey WolfJune 2, 2015Best BBQ in Atlanta! And don't forget to try beef ribs and pulled porks are extremely delicious, Great environment Love it!
Everything is amazing. You can't go wrong. Personal faves: wings, jalapeno cornbread, spicy green beans, brisket.
Alfonso BecerraJanuary 21, 2016If it is your first time, try the combo plates. Sides are REALLY good too
Chelsea MitchellMarch 25, 2016If you go at a popular time, it will be super crowded. But worth it. Sweet tea, pulled pork BBQ, and be sure to have the Fox-r-oni
SooFabDecember 17, 2018Food was excellent and they give you really good portions. But be prepared to wait this place is popular.
The Greens Beans are good & they have that kick I like. I love the Beef Brisk! Wings are great smoked. I love it. Friendly & inviting atmosphere. Pretty women. This is the spot.
I always leave here with lunch and dinner for the next day even after being completely full!! Love it here ♡
This place is amazing. All the appetizers are awesome. If you make it when they do the short rib get it. Its the best thing ever.

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

"I love their BBQ and even though it hasn't changed in 30 years. The live music at night is always good to have as you dive into the ribs"
