Lewis Barbecue brings the best of Austin (by way of Charleston) to the Beltline
The smokehouse at Lewis Barbecue, which recently opened at Ansley Mall behind The Cook’s Warehouse, is unlike any smokehouse I’ve ever seen. Six 22-foot smokers fill the space, making it look like the fanciest engine room in Georgia. John Lewis, the pitmaster and proprietor, took Texas brisket and "made it better. And now the world loves it.”

South Carolina pitmaster John Lewis is joining Atlanta’s barbecue scene
South Carolina pitmaster John Lewis is bringing his Central Texas-style barbecue to Ansley Mall next year with a location just off the Atlanta BeltLine. The 11,000-square foot restaurant will take over the spaces formerly home to Laundry Lounge and the Hideaway, behind Publix and Cook’s Warehouse. Lewis and team will build out the area to feature six, 1,000-gallon barbecue pits, where they will smoke meat over indirect heat.
