This is another review which is completely unnecessary. Fox Bros is an Atlanta institution, and my opinion is just a drop in the bucket. This is, however, hands down the best BBQ I’ve had in Atlanta. (Sorry Community Q, you’ve been bumped).
No pretense here, it’s an old-school BBQ joint, complete with a smoke shack out front. The casual vibe and extensive menu of bbq classics (ribs, brisket) along side crazy experiments makes for a damn good time. I wasn’t adventurous (or crazy enough) to try the Tomminator (it involves tater tots and chili), but I did have some of the specials on the night I went in.
We had a combo plate with (L to R) burnt ends, country-fried ribs, and beef tenderloin. (corn bread and collards in back). The burnt ends and fried ribs blew my mind. Insanely tender meat with a great flavor. I would definitely recommend both.
Also- the collards. Jesus. These were the best I’ve had in Atlanta. Not a trace of bitterness, and properly cooked with pieces of bacon mixed in.
After one visit, I’m dying to go back. And I can’t wait for the Fox brothers to open their Tex Mex place in Decatur (off Ponce, in the old Natalie’s Fish Market spot).
