"In the ATLien bylaws, every neighborhood must have a good BBQ joint. And for Poncey-Highland, it’s Sweet Auburn BBQ. They meld Southern favorites with Asian flavors in a rustic, wood-paneled dining room that features plenty of metal pigs. We come here for creamy pimento cheese wontons and smoked meats with so much flavor we usually skip the sauce (the brisket and pulled pork are tops). Fun fusion combos like the spicy Crying Tiger Brisket Sandwich and their taco plate with a strong slaw game help cement this inventive BBQ joint as more than just a neighborhood favorite. We even consider it one of the best BBQ spots in the entire city. And the noisy dining room that’s regularly packed during lunch and dinner proves it." - juli horsford
