Really good barbecue specially for the city. Not as smoky as I like my barbecue but it has a hint of hickory to the flavor. The ribs are tender fall off the bone and is well prepared and seasoned. The pulled pork is the same very good seasoning shredded just right. Love the extra side of pickles. The Carolina barbecue sauce is really good and so is the hot barbecue sauce spicy version. The Brunswick stew not so good, too much corn not enough flavor of BBQ. Brunswick stew should have pieces of barbecue in it and I could find none. The collar greens were delicious and so was the toast. I would definitely go back here, great environment, outside and inside seating, great service, people are very nice and very helpful. And attentive to the table.

Highly recommended - with great pleasure. Truly an outstanding dining experience from the front of house through the back of house! Everyone was so sweet, attentive, and kind. We enjoyed an excellent late luncheon yesterday with BBQ fans from Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania. The meats, sides, and sauces were all spot on and thoroughly enjoyed. An excellent variety of icy, crisp, cold beer and wine were available as were iced tea. We opted out of dessert and took a stroll at nearby Chastain Park with several boxes of leftovers. So it's also a great value!

Our son lives in Atlanta and every time we come we go to Greater Good BBQ. Best BBQ between here and Ocoee,TN. Great sweet tea. Very friendly and helpful servers. Food is fast and hot. It always tastes the same...great!!! Pork is tender and tasty. The green beans are absolutely delicious. Baked beans are true southern style and wonderful. My son loves the hot links, but I love the pork plate so much I've never ordered anything else! You have to try this place. You will love it!!!

Very good. Great service, food came quickly, very tasty bbq. I got the sliced brisket and it was very moist. Hubby got the brisket burger and he enjoyed his also. Plus they are ATL United soccer fans!!! Make sure to top off whatever you get with their hot sauce in the caddy.

First timers and we loved it. We both had pulled pork. I had the plate. It comes with 2 sides and it looked like about a half pound of juicy meat. Sides are usually an afterthought but their green beans and collards are AMAZING. Wifey had the sandwich. It comes with 1 side. If you come near closing time don’t get weird if they’re out of certain items. Come earlier next time.

I love this place!! The ribs are so tender and season so good. The fried ribs fall off the bone. The food is always served fresh and hot just look at that smoke. I was so disappointed to find out the other 2 locations had closed but at least the location on Roswell Rd is still open.

Fantastic BBQ joint! Great atmosphere, excellent service, and most of all, GREAT BBQ! I had the daily special Burnt Ends with fried okra and Mac and cheese. At 2:30pm, my order was on the table in under 5 mins. The flavor was fantastic, healthy portion, all for the price typical for BBQ. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for quality BBQ.
