Atlanta's Favorite BBQ Styles for Your Next Event
Atlanta sits at the crossroads of Southern BBQ traditions—drawing from Georgia, Carolina, Memphis, and Texas. These are the smoked meats that define the city's diverse barbecue culture.
Georgia-Style Ribs
Amanda's BarBeeQue specializes in Georgia-style BBQ—dry rub, slow-smoked over pecan wood for hours, creating a crispy bark on the outside and juicy, tender inside. Black Market Barbecue hand-crafts their ribs with green hickory and coal from local providers. These aren't imported traditions; they're authentically Georgia.
Slow-Smoked Brisket
Texas-style brisket has found a welcome home in Atlanta. Pitmasters smoke beef brisket low and slow until the fat renders and the bark achieves that perfect mahogany. C-Bo's BBQ & Southern Cuisine serves hickory-kissed brisket alongside classic Southern sides. Quality that rivals Austin's best.
Pulled Pork
Carolina influence runs strong in Atlanta's pulled pork tradition. Pork shoulder smoked until it shreds effortlessly, then dressed with vinegar-based or tomato-based sauce depending on the pitmaster's heritage. Pappy 2's Barbeque serves pulled pork with scratch-made sides that complete the Southern experience.
Smoked Chicken
Whole chickens and quarters rubbed with Southern spice blends and smoked until the skin crisps while the meat stays juicy. For events with guests who prefer poultry, smoked chicken delivers full barbecue flavor. Daddy's Girl BBQ serves Atlanta's top events with authentic Southern flavors including perfectly smoked chicken.
Southern Sausage Links
House-made sausage with Southern spice profiles—some with heat, some smoky, all delicious. Sausage links add variety to any BBQ spread and help keep costs manageable for large events. Atlanta trucks serve links that honor the region's pork traditions.
Southern Sides & Comfort Food
C-Bo's BBQ is known for hearty comfort food alongside their smoked meats—mac and cheese, collard greens, baked beans. In Atlanta, the sides matter as much as the meat. These aren't afterthoughts; they're essential to the complete Southern BBQ experience.
