Top 5 BBQ in Atlanta
Atlanta's barbecue picks — cross-referenced from The Infatuation Atlanta and Atlanta Magazine's metro-wide barbecue guides.
- #1
Heirloom Market BBQ
Cumberland
“Named on both Atlanta Magazine's and Infatuation's top lists — the Korean-Southern BBQ mashup that Infatuation calls 'the best BBQ-meets-KBBQ fusion in the entire metro.'”
- #2
Fox Bros Bar-B-Q
Candler Park
“Atlanta Magazine and Infatuation both name Fox Bros. as the classic Atlanta barbecue — reliable brisket and the Fox-a-Rito that locals order on repeat.”
- #3
DAS BBQ West Midtown
Underwood Hills
“On both flagship lists — Atlanta Magazine highlights the Texas-leaning brisket and Infatuation calls out the Grant Park outpost's weekend smoke.”
- #4
Community Q BBQ
Decatur
“The Infatuation's Decatur favorite — 'in the metro BBQ big leagues for years' with pulled pork and mac-and-cheese that anchor the Atlanta barbecue shortlist.”
- #5
Rodney Scott's BBQ
West End
“Atlanta Magazine's top pick — James Beard-winning pitmaster Rodney Scott's pit-smoked whole-hog cooking brought to Atlanta in a glass-walled smokehouse.”
