Dba Barbecue (n Highland Ave Ne)

Let me preface this by saying I don 't consider myself to be a bbq person , that said, I LOVE this place! The staff are friendly, the food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere can 't be beat come on Friday evening to catch Music Bingo! My food recommendation is the DBA burger with the crack (I mean CREAM) corn! Seriously, this stuff is addicting. Great job DBA!

Ribs, Brisket, Smoked Wings, Brunswick Stew and the 4 Sauces are Delicious. The mac and cheese and Margaritas were good. The servers are friendly but could be a little more attentive and knowledgeable. Be back soon! I love DBA!

The staff was very nice and pleasant to deal with. I ordered the brisket chopped (lean), 12 wings (6 lemon pepper and 6 garlic Parmesan), creamed corn, collard greens and Mac cheese. I tried to order the beef ribs but there was a $17 UP-CHARGE! The brisket was amazing, highly recommended. The wings on the other hand was very subpar. The lemon pepper weren’t any good, they lacked seasoning. The garlic Parmesan didn’t really have any flavor as well. The creamed corn was decent, I’d pass next time. The max and cheese was better than I expected. The star of the entire meal was the collard greens. Top 5 in Atlanta for sure. I’ll have to order a pint next time. Overall it was a good meal, I’d opt in for another meat next time. I would recommend visiting for those who want a quieter ambiance.

I keep wondering if I will stop finding great BBQ in Atlanta and then I stumble on yet another great addition to the BBQ list. I really enjoyed DBA BBQ’s flavorful takes on their menu and the overall zestiness of their foods. The sauces were more on the vinegary end of the spectrum but they all had really bright and full flavors. I really enjoyed the brisket, which was thick cut and had a beautiful dark bark on the outside. The Carolina Chopped Pork was also very good, with a nice amount of flavor and spice. This is really nice spot with a large outdoor dining area. I really enjoyed it.

I would've given this place 5 stars, but the hostess needs to be replaced. She seemed irritated by having customers, and my guest and I didn't feel welcomed. Still, our server was attentive and accommodating. The the food was A1 delicious. The brisket, ribs, and pastrami were excellent, as tender as meat can be. The collards and onion rings were good also. We're already planning another visit. Highly recommend if you're a carnivore like myself.
