I think the title says it all. How can life get much better. The texas fries are always awesome, with either the pulled pork or the beef brisket. But the real show stopper is their red velvet cheese cake. It is too good for words. It really does stop you in your tracks. It also has chopped pecans on it... More

So I arrive in Atlanta on a rainy Saturday and the urge for BBQ hits. I search the web and Fox Bros. comes up several times, so I head over. Even at 945 at night the place was full and several of the menu items had run out...a good sign to me, means food it good. I was alone, yet... More

I did some research about BBQ in Atlanta and kept seeing Fox Bros. being rated at or near the top in reviews. We're northerners and aren't BBQ connoisseurs, so we were relying on those reviews, and Fox Bros. did not disappoint. It was very crowded on the rainy Saturday afternoon when we arrived around 5:00. The parking lot was jammed... More

Whenever we travel to ATL, we head to Fox Bros for some BBQ. We've yet to be disappointed! This past weekend we headed there for a leisurely dinner with friends who live in ATL. They are currently under some construction so the already-small parking lot was even less car-friendly than normal. Our party of six (three adults, three kids) gathered... More

After a day at the Carter Library and MLK Center we were hungry and BBQ sounded good. Looked up 'best BBQ in Atlanta' and this place popped up with a few others. All others were too far out in the burbs, so we settled on the closest to where we were. Little hard to find since they have a tent... More

Fox Bros BBQ is the real deal. All of their food is delicious. Like most BBQ places, you are not going for the ambiance. However, if you like good food this is your place. When they have it, I highly recommend the Taquitos for an appetizer (or meal). The Fox Bros burger is very unique and big so bring your... More

Slow smoked for hours, the meat is wonderful. One of my favorites is the more delicate smoked turkey which beats any other version I've had. We return regularly for collards and diet-busting, delicious appetizers like the Lopez. Big fans of practically everything we've had here ! Simply said, we love the food enough to navigate the parking, and sit in... More

I was on a business trip and hadn't eaten anything all day. My colleague who was taking us around Atlanta said we should eat here. I'm always up for BBQ. Having eaten at some unbelievable BBQ joints, I wasn't expecting too much here. Was I wrong, this place is now one of my top top BBQ places now. We had... More

As lovers of barbecue, and being in Atlanta for the final four, the group I was with asked multiple people for the best ribs and brisket in town. Many locals gave us this place as the best. It is not easily accessible, can't be walked to from downtown, and will require either a cab or a car to get to.... More

Great Texas style BBQ served with Southern flare. The dry rub was so good, and the ribs so succulent that I forgot to use sauce!
