Waitress was a little inpatient we had just got to table and was already asked what we wanted to drink. It was our first time like let us sit and look at menu's first. Two adults and four kids that takes time to decide what the kids want then ourselves. The food was great I'll be back soon. The kids didn't care for the lemonade it was too sour needed more water and sugar to balance it out. The sweet tea wasn't strong it seemed like it was too much water basically watered down. The waitress did switch kids drinks so that was a plus. I see they have bingo and trivia night that's great.

The Reuben is very good with a nice flavor and the rye bread was also delicious. The fries had an odd taste to them, almost like the frier oil was too old or something. Also the biscuit was super tiny and not fresh at all, and at 1.50 it should be fresh and delicious, but instead it was chewy and hard. Finslly the trio of salsa, guac, and chees was just OK; neither amazing nor fresh. I will try it again in the future, maybe this was just a bad day for them.

This place is not easily noticeable from the street. Drive slow when you get close. There is a private parking lot beside the establishment with limited parking shared by other businesses. This venue is pretty spacious on the inside and they seem to have a special every day of the week. I sat at the bar to watch NFL games. The staff is pretty friendly. I like that this place was not over crowded. I ordered the Big Burger with sweet potato tots. The Big Burger is a beef patty topped with pepper jack cheese and brisket. There is also some jalapenos in there. The sweet potato tots do not come with any sauce but the BBQ sauce will help. I would have given this place 5 stars but the BBQ weirded me out. They have a good variety of sauce but all the sauce are watery. I assume that the sauces are vinegar based. Couldn't you have one sauce that is not vinegar based.

We had DBA cater our rehearsal dinner for 60 at the Atlanta History Center and they did a fantastic job. The food was the right temperature, presentation was lovely, and the service staff were great. We considered some other caterers and felt that DBA was a much better bang for the buck. Thank you!

Ribs, Brisket, Smoked Wings, Brunswick Stew and the 4 Sauces are Delicious. The mac and cheese and Margaritas were good. The servers are friendly but could be a little more attentive and knowledgeable. Be back soon! I love DBA!

I would've given this place 5 stars, but the hostess needs to be replaced. She seemed irritated by having customers, and my guest and I didn't feel welcomed. Still, our server was attentive and accommodating. The the food was A1 delicious. The brisket, ribs, and pastrami were excellent, as tender as meat can be. The collards and onion rings were good also. We're already planning another visit. Highly recommend if you're a carnivore like myself.

I dropped by here on a whim because some friends and I happened to be close by. After reading the menu we walked in and saw a pretty standard bar area where someone took our order. I had the cheeseburger with pimento cheese, fries, and the banana pudding. After receiving our food we ate on the back patio. The burger was absolutely fantastic. Easily the best burger I’ve had this year and definitely the best one I’ve had in Atlanta. Whenever I go to new places, this is the burger to beat. The pimento cheese and seasonings really elevate this from being a standard burger into being worth driving across the city for. The fries are solid. If you’ve had Five Guys, these fries definitely put me in the same frame of mind. The portions are pretty great for the price, and definitely filling. The banana pudding was good, but not extraordinary in my opinion. I could see myself ordering it again because I want it, not because I want there’s specifically. Overall, surprised this place isn’t hyped up more.

There was a problem where my to-go order which I paid for did not make it to the kitchen. The host and manager corrected the issue immediately, offered me a seat, checked in on me multiple times, and made sure that my order was prepared to perfection. This is the kind of establishment I want to support. My only qualm is that the dining room is very loud ( a lot of happy diners, music playing, and music bingo happening). Big kudos for excellent customer service.

I just love this brisket Sunday and Sat brunch is great and pair it off with a pitcher of rum punch hits the spot Also they have the best Jerk chicken and Caribbean shrimp tacos. Thursday night is adult trivia from 7:30 to 8:30 in our Friday’s adult bingo at the same time. Nice atmosphere with a covered outdoor patio. I really love trivia night it’s fun and new dinning spot.

The staff was very nice and pleasant to deal with. I ordered the brisket chopped (lean), 12 wings (6 lemon pepper and 6 garlic Parmesan), creamed corn, collard greens and Mac & cheese. I tried to order the beef ribs but there was a $17 UP-CHARGE! The brisket was amazing, highly recommended. The wings on the other hand was very subpar. The lemon pepper weren’t any good, they lacked seasoning. The garlic Parmesan didn’t really have any flavor as well. The creamed corn was decent, I’d pass next time. The max and cheese was better than I expected. The star of the entire meal was the collard greens. Top 5 in Atlanta for sure. I’ll have to order a pint next time. Overall it was a good meal, I’d opt in for another meat next time. I would recommend visiting for those who want a quieter ambiance.
