Dba Barbecue (n Highland Ave Ne)

I want to start by saying that I'm not really into barbecue, but I absolutely love this place! The staff is friendly, the food is incredibly tasty, and the atmosphere is unbeatable—be sure to visit on a Friday evening for Music Bingo! I highly recommend the DBA burger paired with the corn crème (it's so good, I can't help but call it "crack" corn)! Seriously, it's addictively delicious. Great job, DBA!

The ribs, brisket, smoked wings, Brunswick stew, and the four sauces are all absolutely delicious. The mac and cheese and margaritas were also quite good. The servers are friendly, but they could be a bit more attentive and knowledgeable. I'll definitely be back soon! I love DBA!

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.

Wings were small. Just average. Brisket and pulled pork were good. Service was terrible. We only saw one waitress trying to act as hostess, manage take out orders and wait tables. Two managers were sitting in the restaurant chatting and did nothing to help. Ordered sauce to go and it was such an issue (out of small bottles and apparently unable to think “outside the box” that we just asked for a refund. Had to ask for everything we needed throughout the meal, and it took forever. Our first visit several years ago was exceptional, so we were disappointed. (Highlands Park location

I dropped by here on a whim because some friends and I happened to be close by. After reading the menu we walked in and saw a pretty standard bar area where someone took our order. I had the cheeseburger with pimento cheese, fries, and the banana pudding. After receiving our food we ate on the back patio. The burger was absolutely fantastic. Easily the best burger I’ve had this year and definitely the best one I’ve had in Atlanta. Whenever I go to new places, this is the burger to beat. The pimento cheese and seasonings really elevate this from being a standard burger into being worth driving across the city for. The fries are solid. If you’ve had Five Guys, these fries definitely put me in the same frame of mind. The portions are pretty great for the price, and definitely filling. The banana pudding was good, but not extraordinary in my opinion. I could see myself ordering it again because I want it, not because I want there’s specifically. Overall, surprised this place isn’t hyped up more.
