EaterJanuary 3, 2014This Castleberry Hill spot opened late this Fall and is already a contender for some of the city's top barbecue. Go for ribs, brisket, jalapeno cornbread, and cocktails like the boiled peanut martini.
beau beljeanJune 10, 2017Go for the chicken wings as appetizers accompanied by house fried pickles. Then follow through with some ribs and order the Brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes tots! Bomb! Try also the local brews
Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014The baked beans are heavenly: laced with burnt pork & molasses, they'd be a strong competitor at Chomp & Stomp. Crispy Brussels sprouts with maple syrup were an unexpectedly tasty combination. Read more
Austin RussellNovember 26, 2013Pretty delicious. A really nice build out. Food was really great. I had the pork plate with a side of the bacon and blue cheese potato salad. There was so much on the menu I would have ordered.
Marlon C.August 27, 2016Ok, you have to try the smoked wings! No, seriously! These wings are like "CHANGE YOUR LIFE" kind of good..."SLAP YO MAMA" kind of good and don't fool around and have a Shiner Bock with them! Daum!
Damian DensonAugust 30, 2014First time having BBQ where the smoked flavor is SO good that I don't want ANY sauce on it! Pork belly and creamed corned is amazing!
Todd WhiteOctober 12, 2014Wow, what great sides! BBQ was awesome but this is the place to take anyone who doesn't love the smokey flavors to. Really good brisket and peach cobbler rocked to- Creative Loafing AtlantaAugust 5, 2014Small touches like Edison bulbs, barstools and chairs with a hint of steampunk, Mason jars, and bits of moonshine machinery fill out the sprawling place.

Tana BabcockMay 13, 2016Potato salad side was actually really good. Also recommend the pig sty nachos. Whoa! Try the tea cocktail too - it was a crowd pleaser!
Kraig KittelMarch 29, 2014Best brisket I have ever had. You must order it n try white BBQ Sauce and sweet tangy sauce!
M. Chris LangubNovember 3, 2013Good start for a tasty local pub. Mini ahi taco, fried green tomato, and teriyaki infused fried ribs go well with beer.
AnnaLee AbernathyApril 17, 2014Excellent pulled pork sandwich and the brisket melts in your mouth! Very cool atmosphere to grab a bite or a beer!
Louis MetcalfDecember 7, 2015Brisket burrito! Roasted Brussels sprouts w/maple syrup; Bleu cheese and bacon potato salad. Good beer and spirits selection.
Deborah Fields-HarrisJuly 10, 2015If you only care about food, great! It's outstanding! If you care about service, forget it! It's non-existent!
Danelle JonesDecember 12, 2013If you're a bacon lover ask for the bacon marmalade with whatever you order. Its delicious with the mac n cheese.
Karmendi MartinOctober 12, 2014Longest wait of my life. We had to wait an hour for our food and they didn't even make our meal free, but the food was good. If you have a few hours and you are hungry go to the smoke ring!
Collier HatchettNovember 22, 2013Wow! This place is my new favorite BBQ place! You have to try the mac-n-cheese!!
Jessica EApril 6, 2017Bluegrass brunch first Sunday of the month. Live music starts at 1:00. $15 bottomless mimosas
Jeremy SaleJanuary 20, 2014Great atmosphere, awesome drinks, spare ribs were tasty yet the pork tasted day old
ShawnDecember 18, 2013The name implies a smoking lounge, but it is actually a pretty good barbecue joint within walking distance of the office.
Try the Show Stopper--delicious! The staff is really great as well.
Get the wings, baby back ribs, and brussel sprouts!
Jordan is the chef and makes a mean pulled pork sammich!!
Rebecca HammondJuly 6, 2017I was extremely disappointed in the fact that I could not get potato salad or baked beans WITHOUT BACON!! Not everyone eats bacon, they were out of creamed corn.1 flavor here , Bacon
- Rebecca HammondJuly 6, 2017The chicken was very dry. Not everyone eats bacon . My grandmother from south made wonderful potato salad without bacon. No diverse flavor profiles. I won't be back👎🏻
Jessica NeelyJune 2, 2014The food was okay. Not the best bbq I have had but not the worst. They need a little more seasoning on the sides and do not get the 1/2 chicken.
