I have not tried Sam and Daves and that gives me hope,,,what is the best thing on the menu in your opinion? I would give my left testicle for some great BBQ in this town,,,the testicle will be given to a donor on my demise just to clarify the deal.

Their pulled pork is great, some of the best I've had

Sam and Dave's 2 is on Whitlock Ave. (GA 120) just about a mile or two west of the Marietta Square. Coming in from Dallas you would just head east on 120 then after you cross over the East/West Connector and drive another few miles its in a shopping center on your left. There is a Waffle House in the parking lot.

Where in ATL? I've been searching forever to find a good bbq place here so a recommendation would be appreciated! Tried a few places I found on citysearch and they all were mediocre at best.

There was this place in tampa...pink cinderblock building with a big ass picture of a pig in overalls and a quote bubble over it's head that reads "we be smokin'" ...best damn bbq ever. They run out of stuff if you go too late.

one of my first jobs was at champion BBQ in Lagrange ky. The pay was crap but the food was amazing. I eat BBQ when ever I see a new shop. My fav is Pierces in Williamsburg va. As far as smokin goes I don't see it mentioned here but I used some oak with a beef brisket a while back and it came out great. The ribs not so much I learned that meat can turn into jerky if smoked to much.

Oak is popular in northern areas. I like it, but haven't actually used it.

I am looking forward to my first KC Q here in the next couple days.

If it tastes as good as it looks I am sold.

Cleveland BBQ isn't half bad either.

The best BBQ I've ever had was prior to 1986 when I moved to Texas, it was from Leo's Bar-B-Q in OKC. I think it was on Kelly? Great meat and sauce to die for.

If you are talking about the outside, that's the way you want it. Those crispy bits have a ton of flavor. If you are talking about the inner part of the meat, you don't want to eat a brisket medium rare. That first bite would take you 10 minutes to chew through.

The outside is perfect, looks

.

The inside could use a touch of red, but I agree definitely not med rare for brisket.
