What People Are Saying About Swallow At The Hollow

The Scene – The look and feel of a serious barbecue shack find: gravel parking lot, broad-planked wraparound porch, massive red-brick smoker and plenty of friendly "how y'all doing" servers bearing towering plates straight from butcher block to table. – – The Food – Hard-core traditionalists beware: Swallow at the Hollow is more of an homage to regional barbecue than it is a barbecue joint, per se. Start with the sauces--three of them--heretically consorting at each table. Then add some broad concessions to modern tastes: Lean baby backs, smoked turkey and a "pit…

One of the best meals I have had!

by CSMobileUser2 at Citysearch

I saw a food show that was highlighting BBQ joints in Atl and they had a segment highlighting this place. Well let me tell you, everything the show said about this place is true. Some of the best food I have since I have lived here. I would highly recommend this place to anyone interested in eating some authentic down south BBQ. The portions are huge so prepare to be full when you leave here. A 5 out of 5 on my scale.

Still one of the best

by mikfire at Citysearch

I had worked for a few months in the Roswell area two years ago and fell in love with Swallow in the Hollow. I was in the area last week for the ACC tourney and made a special point of going back.

I was quite nervous, as some reviewers claimed the quality had taken a serious nose dive. I am writing this review to claim it hasn't. Swallow in teh Hollow still delivers some of the best BBQ I have had the pleasure of eating.

I am on the road frequently and make a point of trying the local BBQ joints every time I can. I still think this is one of the best.

  • Pros: Great ribs; great service
  • Cons: parking

Very good Bar-B-Q in the ATL area

by 10ECStud at Citysearch

Ice cold beer served straight out of a canoe with about 300 lbs of ice in it. Very nice! The dinner portions are more than most humans can consume and very good quality. I typically get a half order of the Baby Back Ribs which comes with two sides. I recommend the Fried Green Tomatoes and Mac-n-cheese. Wash it all down with an ice cold vitamin Y, sit back and relax to some great live music. If you're in the Roswell area or just searching for something with a special atmosphere, check it out.

  • Pros: Good Bar-B-Q, better music and tons of atmosphere
  • Cons: A little out of the way
