Rolling Bones Premium Pit BBQ
377 Edgewood Avenue, Atlanta, GA, 30312
404-222-2324
There is nothing rustic about this gorgeously renovated Art Deco gas station. Pulled pork and beef brisket can be inconsistent, but the pink, lacquered ribs and creamy barbecued duck are winners.

Sam’s BBQ 1
4944 Lower Roswell Road, Marietta, GA, 30068
770-977-3005
Baby back ribs hover between tender and taut; thinly sliced brisket retains its juiciness; crisp chicken skin yields to plump, smoky meat; and pulled pork is consistently moist.

The Greater Good Barbecue
4431 Hugh Howell Road, Tucker, GA, 30084
770-908-8164
Though it’s a welcome addition to an area mostly clogged with national chains, the food lacks the soulfulness one craves in barbecue. At least the staffers were a fast, friendly lot.

The Swallow at the Hollow
1072 Green Street, Roswell, GA, 30075
678-352-1975
The barbecue is delicious and the fixings rock, especially when accompanied by live music. Try the sweet South Carolina-style mustard sauce on a chopped pork sandwich.
