We love the food here, really good ribs, pulled pork and sides. About 25 miles from us, but it is worth the trip.

Fox Brothers offers quite good Texas style barbeque. However Atlanta is in Georgia, and if someone is looking for Georgia style barbeque they will be disappointed at Fox Brothers. If you don't care about the difference and just want some tasty food then this is a good choice to visit. But it is inconsistent. The Beef Brisket is especially good.... More

My husband and I first visited after we searched a mobile app (can't remember the android app. name) for local restaurants and decided to give this place a try. It doesn't have much of a parking lot, and was kinda hard to find at first (we passed it up and had to turn around). Upon entering, we were seated immediately... More

The place was packed at 3:30 in the afternoon with a 30 minute wait. BBQ ribs and chopped brisket was given a 4 by my boyfriend who is from TX. I am a vegetarian, so I had only mac and cheese, cole slaw, jalapeno bread - they were average, nothing special. Meat portions are large, service was very fast, Fox... More

The first thing we noticed when stepping out of our car was the wonderful aroma of BBQ smoking. Things just got better from there! We were greeted by a friendly staff on a late Friday afternoon, and we walked in and were seated within minutes. We chose inside dining but did like having the choice of patio dining too. Our...

I do not like barbecue! But I'm Georgia born and raised and my friends and family have dragged me to pretty much every barbecue joint in the area. Fox Bros made me realize I do love barbecue, but only really really good smoked barbecue!!! The flavor is amazing and you can tell everything is homemade. I love this place and... More

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
