Best BBQ in Atlanta
by davidjmeltzer at Citysearch
This place is by far the best and most authentic bbq place you'll find in 100 miles of Atlanta. Its a hole in the wall restaurant with stuffed animals on the walls and a cafeteria-style line, and the best food and bbq sides you can find.
So take the drive out a couple miles into Alpharetta and try it - you'll be hooked. Cheap, real southern bbq. I go here ALL the time.
- Pros: Great food, Cheap
- Cons: Unpaved parking, In middle of nowhere
Only for the serious...

Pappy Red's is authentic! The best brunswick stew that I have ever had. It has a genuine smoky flavor. The barbecue pork is great, too. And, the atmosphere is just what it should be!
- Pros: Quality, Fair prices
- Cons: Too far from town
Its worth drive - 10X over!

The Atmosphere, The BBQ, The Sides, The deserts, The Brunswick stew, you cannot go wrong. My family and I head up at least one Sunday every month. Its fantastic and I never leave without a quart of Brunswick stew to go. I highly, highly recommend Pappy Reds!
- Pros: Great Food, The Atmosphere, The Plane on the roof
- Cons: need bigger tea glass, travel time
