"Gatlin’s BBQ is a charming barbecue spot that feels too good for an unassuming strip mall in Garden Oaks. At any point, you’ll see Mama Gatlin tending to the front counter, bringing food to folks’ tables, cracking jokes with regulars, and even finding time to help people bring their leftovers to their cars. You come to Gatlin’s BBQ for consistent, juicy barbecue, Southern-style sides, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like you stumbled into a kind neighbor's cookout. On the weekends, the line can be a little long, but it’ll give you time to make difficult decisions strategizing your three-meat plate, while you hope that their bread pudding doesn’t sell out before you reach the front counter." - Chelsea Thomas, Gianni Greene
