WOW. If you are looking for real southern barbecue in the heart of Atlanta, this is it!
FULL DISCLAIMER: I have known the Master Chef/Owner/Operator, Jordan Wakefield, for almost twenty years (since 7th grade). He is as good a hard-working, honest, patriotic American as you will find; an incredibly warm, caring person, with an infectious personality.
My wife and I, and four of our friends ate dinner at Smoke Ring last night for the first time. Honestly, I was a bit concerned that I had set unrealistic expectations for his establishment, maybe I did, but my expectations were exceeded! Our table ordered several apps; wings, fried gator bites, fried pickles, and boiled peanuts. All of it was incredible. Gator bites were full of flavor, the wings were smoked to perfection, and the peanuts were perfect. (Fried pickles were good, but I'm not a fan)
I ordered a Two Meat Plate: pulled pork, brisket, mac 'n cheese, and collard greens. It was absolutely incredible. I've lived in Georgia all my life and I've never had better pulled pork or collard greens. The table also ordered lamb belly, The Show Stopper sandwich, brussel sprouts, baked beans, and fries; ALL of it was incredible.
I wasn't super impressed with the staff of servers, but the food was epic, the atmosphere is a perfect representation for how southern style has evolved with the growth of Atlanta.
If you are in the area and you love BBQ, please give Smoke Ring a shot! You will not be disappointed!
Smoke Ring was fabulous! The ambience is fun and boisterous and the warm wood tones make you want to snuggle in and stay for a while. It’s just a awesome place for some of the best barbeque in town. It’s a MUST VISIT for Atlanta restaurants! Guten appetit!
Some of the best food I've ever put in my mouth! BBQ and sides are all great! Will be back many times!
