Barbecue Food Atlanta
Best Barbecue Restaurants

• Local or Independently owned
• Regional Chain
• National Chain

There are very few large national chains of barbecue restaurants. However, there are many small to medium size regional chains. Normally if a regional chain is in a geographic area they will have several locations in that geographic area for their restaurants. For our listings we only list the restaurant one time even though there may be five or ten restaurants of that chain in the metropolitan area.

Check on the restaurant's web site for specific location information. It is not unusual for the local or independently owned barbecue food restaurant to be located remotely in a rural town outside the major metropolitan area. Not so for the regional chain - their restaurants are normally located in a high traffic area with many other types of restaurants. Many of the local barbecue restaurants also sell food products via their web site. So if you have a great meal while traveling at one of these local barbecue restaurants - order some food via the internet to be shipped to you and enjoy a meal with family and/or friends.

Atlanta being a southern city has an abundance of really good local barbecue restaurants. Here are some of our recommendations:
