Bad BBQ anytime

by fredcone

Williamson Bros has absolutely the WORST BBQ in the Atlanta area. The pork is terrible, the chicken is terrible. The ribs are passible.

I have eaten in the restaurant only once (could not go back) and their catered food several times and it never gets any better. Very BAD!

  • Pros: None
  • Cons: Bad BBQ
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Best BBQ in the State!!!

by jason62

I have traveled all over Georgia and everywhere I go I sample the local BBQ there and I must say with out a shadow of a doubt that Williamson Bro's is the best out there!!! I eaten at both locations and have never been disappointed. If you are a die hard fan of BBQ as I am or just want a sampling of Georgia's bests then you got to give Williamson Bro's a try!

  • Pros: Best BBQ in the State!!!
  • Cons: None

IF IT AIN'T PIG IT AIN'T BAR-B-QUE

by davidhgay

IF IT AIN'T PIG IT AIN'T BAR-B-QUE.... This is a statement of what is what! The pork is what makes this place great. Smoked and cured with a tasty sauce, stick with the chopped pork! Sliced, chopped, inside, outside or mixed it cannot be beat. Sides of stew, garlic bread, onion rings and baked beans make Williamson Bros one of the BEST in TOWN and THE BEST IN MARIETTA! The deserts are also very good and ample. Great food but don't look too close! There may be some cleanliness issues but they are wise to keep the light low and dark walls........

  • Pros: Really GOOD BBQ and Deserts...... Great Smells!
  • Cons: Is it clean?

The best BBQ in Atlanta

by molly23

This is our all time favorite BBQ place in Atlanta. We don?t eat at the restaurant much, but we do order a lot of to go food from there. We normally get the pound of pulled pork and a few sides. The pork is always great, and their sauce is amazing. My husband loves their onion rings and baked beans. I enjoy the macaroni and cheese, and chocolate pie. They always offer buns when you order to go, and it makes great leftovers. The ribs are also excellent, and the price is reasonable.

My office has finally caught on to their great BBQ and we often have them cater for us.

  • Pros: Great BBQ
  • Cons: They close pretty early

All show no glory..

by cyofish

When you approach the restaurant it has all the apperances of a great BBQ joint. A rusti looking building with thick smokey aroma coming out of the chimney. As you walk in you see a large pit with juicy smoked pork butt sizzling in the wood burning pit. Unfortunately, thats where the magic ends. When the food comes out the meat is a little dry. I had the combo plate and I couldn't taste any smoke flavor in the meat. The BBQ sauce was o.k. but nothing to write home about. The chicken wasn't BBQ''d but cooked in an electric rotissere that's found in a grocery store. Overall, it was very disappointing. Their grilled steak was good though.

  • Pros: Steak is a tasty and good value
  • Cons: BBQ

Only Been Once, And That Was Enough! Resting On It's Reputation!

by jaymaygm

Yes we are BBQ snobs. And Atlanta is not Memphis, or K.C., but we do have some of the best BBQ Joints in the S.E. I went here a few weeks back while visiting a few elderly relatives, and this was the only place that wanted to go. Yes it was packed, noisy, and was not up to our Que Standards. The chopped BBQ Pork Sandwich was just mush, and I guess if you are of a certain age, it would be easy to swallow. Ribs were dry, but the worst part was the sauce. I've had better out of a bottle. Prices are right, but the Que is not!

  • Pros: Below Average Que & Sauce!
  • Cons: Below Average Que & Sauce!

Cheap & Yummy BBQ

by lalabunni

I went and had their Monday special -- steak with two sides for only 9.99. Awesome deal. I think they have a different daily special so I'll have to go back on different days to see. The meat was pretty good tasting and very cheap. I had it rare and it was so soft. I took it home and it still tasted great the next day after I nuked it. The onion strings that came with my steak were awesome! And I Ioved the mash potatoes and gravy too. The service was alright - our server was very nice even though we had to ask for the gravy that was supposed to come with the mash potatoes and even after we had to ask for it, it took a long time for it to get to us. Overall, I enjoyed it and it was definately a great value. Will go back for sure even though I only got 2 onion rings -- I kinda expected a little more onion ring than 2!

  • Pros: Price, hours, service
  • Cons: Not the best tasting food ever
