I eat at the one in Roswell on occasion. Still have not found BBQ in GA that can compete with KC, but I have adjusted to the local flavors. The best I have found in the area so far is "Spiced Right Rib House" in Roswell.

Is GA BBQ more like Carolina Q (mustard/vinegar) or is it more tomato based?

It sounds like you need a road trip to KC for some real Q.

I'm entertaining the idea of driving back for a long weekend, soon.

Georgia does not really have a style they can call their own. Most common is the Alabama style, which is pulled pork with a sweet tomato based sauce very similar to the common variety found on any grocery store shelf. Think Kraft thinned out with a little spice.

Around here the most common meats are pulled pork, short ribs or chicken. Some places carry baby back and turkey. Sliced brisket is available most places, but very few know how to get it tender and moist. Few places use a rub so usually the only flavor is directly from the meat is the hickory smoke and it tends to be dry.

It takes some getting used to.

That KC BBQ place on Roswell Road is supposed to be great, the owner(s) is/are from KC. It's in the Publix shopping ctr. off of Abernathy intersection.

Don't get your hopes up. Very expensive and average quality. The most KC like I have found is in Marietta called BBQ1. My favorite so far is Spiced Right Rib Shack.

SmokeJack is fair, though it's more like a cuisine styled, bbq, w/ sides like fried pickles and corn casserole. Good though. Very trendy crowd, lots of hotties on Fridays when bands play. Been a minute since I have been there though. it's in 'old town' Alpharetta, on the square. http://www.smokejackbbq.com/

Yes, I went there a couple years back. It is a great atmosphere especially walking around old town at night. My expectations were still too high at the time so while I enjoyed it I wasn't overly impressed. Now that I have adjusted to the local BBQ I need to try it again.

I do like the local fried pickles, cheesy hash, and fried sweet potatoe sticks.

For sure, It's just an entirely different 'nitch' of food, it's not really a 'smoke-house' type. They DO put out quality, though.

I Like Daddy Z's downtown. Round Memorial not cheap but friendly and "smoked"
