DBA Tacos And BBQ - Review - Clarkston - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"For years when they operated inVirginia-Highland, DBA was among thebest BBQspots in the metro. Since moving to Clarkston, it’s traded in what it lost in space for a drive-thru and tacos. The food isn't as great now, but it still works for an above average, on-the-go meal." - Jacinta Howard

Why DBA Tacos and Barbecue Reopened in a Combination KFC/Taco Bell | Eater Atlanta

"The restaurant opened a second location in Clarkston on Sept. 18 in a former combination KFC/Taco Bell building with 56 seats and a drive‑thru window (temporarily functioning more as a walk‑up until permits are finalized). Owner Matt Coggin moved from a difficult two‑story Virginia‑Highland site—citing staffing issues, visibility problems, high rent, and awkward logistics like hauling heavy containers upstairs—and says the new standalone lot in a very diverse neighborhood is a “life change,” with smokers arranged for easier use and less daily strain. The menu keeps the barbecue staples (meats by the pound and sandwiches) and expands tacos into a permanent offering, including a chopped brisket taco with pico and salsa verde on the side, barbacoa made from the fatty side of the brisket, and a pork pibil that functions like a chopped Carolina pork topped with pickled red onions, avocado crema, and cheese; grilled fish tacos are planned. Catering remains based in Chastain Park near Buckhead (about 40 minutes away), though orders placed at the Clarkston spot can be picked up locally. Drinks are focused on beer and canned hard seltzers with margaritas made fresh to order (no dedicated bartender), and halal meat is available by request to honor the neighborhood and a Muslim landlord." - Courtney E.

D.B.A. Barbecue’s Original Location Will Close After 15 Years | Eater Atlanta

"Slated to open in April in Clarkston at 4540 E Ponce de Leon Ave, this 2,500-square-foot outpost (the same size as the original location’s second floor) is taking over a former Taco Bell and emphasizes a drive-thru as its main draw. The owner says the pandemic-era makeshift drive-thru he ran in the original restaurant’s parking lot showed him the value of that format, and the new site is meant to be an efficient, smaller operation that supports expanded catering while reaching customers who want quick pickup or drive-thru service." - Sarra Sedghi

The chips tasted stale and like they had been dipped in old oil. The tacos got the job done, because I was hungry. The meal would've probably been better with a decent side. The salsa saved the meal. The service was good, staff friendly.

Stopped in on a week night for a Cinco De Mayo Texas Margarita. It was my 1st time in. The bartender, Egypt, was welcoming, friendly, and made a delicious drink! Not too bitter or sweet. I had the 3 taco special and chose BBQ Brisket, BBQ pulled chicken, and a pork with a delicious pineapple salsa. Tacos were decent and come with chips/salsa. The owner, Mike, was personable, and came over to the bar to chat with us for a while. Overall, an enjoyable spot to unwind after work. Sit at the bar and make new friends or at a table with your coworkers and order a pitcher!

I went here on 2/28/2025 first time at this location since I moved. I went to the previous location that closed. I got a Taco special $12.00 and change that's 3 tacos that come with chips and salsa and you can add a drink for a dollar. I also got some lemon pepper Wings and a beer. My compliments to the chef the tacos are good..The lemon pepper Wings with the blue cheese is the best and I like the sweet sauce. Best lemon pepper wings in Clarkston GA! So I went here on 7/6/2025 for one of their best menu items! Last time I ate the food and I didn't take no pics or update my review! You know that the food is delicious when you don't have time for pics! Smoked fried chicken on Sunday only! The best fried chicken in Clarkston GA! The best chicken from any bbq place! Nobody is doing this period pull up and find out! Oh yeah btw Wednesday is 1/2 half off day yeah I said it!

This was my first time at this establishment & I had my order to go. I got a pulled pork sandwich, collard greens and the grilled creamed corn. The greens were delicious but the PORTION WAS SO SMALL! like 2 tablespoons full of greens. The corn was different but good. I wish I could brag about the pull pork sandwich BUTTT it was so dry!! the did not give any bbq sauce or nothing just plain meat on a toasted bun. If I ever go back here I’d try the tacos & definitely wouldn’t waste money on the spoonful of sides.

Definitely a wonderful find. I'm originally from North Carolina and I must say this is the best BBQ I've had since moving to GA over 10 years ago!!!! The atmosphere was like being at home. All the staff were friendly and the food was amazing!!! You must try the banana pudding parfait and the blueberry lemon margarita!!!!

What can I say about this place. I did visit and got something to eat, but I felt very underwhelmed by the price and what I was getting I got skimmed on everything. It seems like they're pulling food. already been premade from the day before. The food is just not alot for the money. As far as the taste of the food, I would say it's pretty average nothing to ride home about. Also, it seems to attract a lot of ghetto people, and sometimes the parking lot is full of drag racers on Sunday in the police have to pull these people over. They are attracting more hood rats to our town. I think if they want to stay in business longer than two years, they're gonna have to reduce the prices and give more food or they can get lost.

Two stars only because employees were fantastic... food marginal and over priced ... was soo looking forward to some good food ... it is evident from their parking lot that others share same taste as I. Go to Fords in downtown Tucker instead!

I've been 5 times now and every visit is better than the last. Everything I've tried is amazing and you can't go wrong with whatever you get. The smoked wings are my favorite, and the tacos are a very close second. Service is always top notch and everyone is very friendly. Could not recommend it more!
