Congratulations are in order for David Poe and Sam Huff, chief proprietors of Sam and Dave's BBQ1 & BBQ2 in Marietta, GA. The 2008/09 Atlanta Restaurant guide was published a couple days ago, and Sam and Dave's was named as the best BBQ in Atlanta. Sam and Dave received a score of 26 (out of 30), putting them on par with the best restaurants in the entire city. As well, this score placed them as the highest rated restaurant in all of Marietta, GA. My favorite quote from the Zagat Guide was, "best brisket, buns down". The other members of the top five included (in order): Fatt Matt's Rib Shack, Harold's, Swallow at the Hollow, and Jim N' Nick's. I've said it many times before on this blog, but if you haven't taken the time to visit Sam and Dave's you need to do so ASAP. You are missing out on some top quality BBQ.

I have to object. I think that Fox Bros. BBQ is the best in Atlanta. I first had it at Smiths Olde Bar, but they have since opened a place on Dekalb Ave where Asada used to be. Yum! www.foxbrosbbq.com
And no, I am totally not an employee, I just love this bbq.

Oop! I just noticed that you mentioned Fox Bros. already. And I just noticed you had a link to Access Atlanta. And that they mention where it is. Nevermind! Sorry. Have you been yet? Delish! And the Brunswick Stew is great. Now I'm craving it!

So I won a stay at the Marriott Marquis in Atlanta and am a HUGE BBQ fan. What's local to that place that is a don't miss?
For that matter, is there anything else around there I've got to do, see or eat? I'd love the advice.

If you are staying downtown, my best advice is to go to one of the following : Fox Brothers (best choice), Harold's (a slice of history), or Rolling Bones.

Why does Harold's keep topping this list of the best BBQ in Atlanta? I went and thought the food was terrible. They were dishing the meat out of electric cookers. Sure there is a old school BBQ charm but the food was nothing more than something cooked in a crock pot.
