Fat Matt's buys, um, really fatty ribs and in my opinion they aren't as good as Daddy Dz, my favorite in the city....LIke Factorys a lot.
The most interesting barbecue in the area is at Swallow at the Hollow in Roswell, owned by the Greenwood's folks. They have some very interesting sauces.
I like Harold's on McDonough Blvd., partly because of the cracklin' cornbread. Pork sandwich is better than the ribs.
I like the ribs at Williamson Bros on Roswell road.
Rockin' Rob's on Scott Blvd in Decatur is fun, because they have a gigantic vinyl record collection -- thousands of them -- and you can pick your own music. LAst time I was there, they had some really weird sauces. The guy who owns Burrito ARt is a partner in it.
Still looking for an authentic NC shack and would love to find some Texas-style brisket.
If you like burgers, Dbal, you NEED to try Ann's Snack Bar at 1615 Memorial Drive. I'm not going to tell you anything about it, cuz it's gonna blow your mind. You probly should take a friend with you.
