"Daddy D’z is the real deal. You won’t find faux wood or fancy prices, just some smack-yourself-good BBQ sauce and some of the friendliest servers in the southeast. The tagline says it best, “We ain’t pretty, but we’re good.” This Atlanta staple has all your contenders: ribs, pulled pork, chopped chicken and a slew of slides that will leave you ready for a nap. The mac, Brunswick stew and candied yams are some of our favorites. The patio provides no heat or air conditioning — but makes a lively stage for weekend blues bands — or you can find a comfortable seat inside." - Matchstic
"Ron Newman opened Daddy D’z in 1993 between Hill and Fort streets on the edge of Grant Park near historic Oakland Cemetery. Christianah Coker-Jackson purchased the barbecue joint from Newman in 2017. The ribs and Brunswick stew far outshine the decor here. Start with the famous ‘cue wraps and settle into the bite-size barbecued pork that’s wrapped in dough and deep fried." - Candy Hom
"The interior at Daddy D’z feels like a restaurant in another country trying to recreate a barbecue joint for ex-pats. The only thing is that the faded stickers on the door, the dusty highway signs on the wall, and the peeled-paint patio here ain’t a gimmick. This place has looked exactly like this for decades. And during that same time frame, the hickory-smoked awesomeness coming from the back has pleased hungry ATLiens. On your next visit, start things off with smoked wings that you drizzle in the house sauce. If you’re feeling adventurous, go with the turkey ribs for your main. The skin is a little tough, but the meat is terrific. Not up for change? Stick with the rib-ribs, the pork ones. Locals sure have since the place opened back in the early ’90s." - demarco williams, jacinta howard
