The 12 Best Barbecue Spots In Atlanta - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"At Community Q in Decatur, you almost feel like a Southern aristocrat—your ribs are literally served to you on a huge silver platter (OK, maybe it's made of tin, but these ribs are deserving of platinum). The easygoing BBQ spot has rightly been an Atlanta favorite for years. True to the telltale markers of a great family-style BBQ joint, the smoke greets you as you walk in, lingering in the air as elderly couples chat in booths, families elbow each other at the community tables, and friends chat over post-work meals. Here, rib meat falls off the bone with a gentle fork prod, while juicy, smokey pulled pork and chicken come piled high on Texas toast. And here, the sides shine too—molasses-rich baked beans, crunchy slaw, and tangy pickled beets." - demarco williams, jacinta howard
