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

"You can smell the BBQ as soon as you whip into the lot at Mustard Seed in Fairburn. And thankfully, the meats live up to the hype. The ribs are chewy without being tough, clinging to that backyard smoky flavor. The half-chicken hits all the right notes too—charred on the outside like it came off a grill, but so juicy inside it tastes like it’s been slow-cooked. The sides here are fine, so the sweet-ish, mayo-heavy potato salad won’t steal too much attention away from your buttery brisket. And they’ve been consistent for decades, so this place remains a solid takeout spot for hefty plates of BBQ." - demarco williams, jacinta howard
