Fox Bros Bar-B-Q on DeKalb Avenue in Atlanta’s Candler Park neighborhood has been one of the city’s most celebrated BBQ destinations since Jonathan and Justin Fox opened it in 2007, building a menu around Texas-style slow-smoked meats that reflect the Fox brothers’ own Texas heritage combined with the Atlanta restaurant culture that surrounded them — earning Fox Bros its place as one of the defining restaurants of Atlanta’s independent food scene. It appeared in Season 23, Episode 4 of Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives, “From Biscuits to Briskets,” which aired August 7, 2015. Guy Fieri found an Atlanta pit kitchen doing Texas-influenced BBQ with the quality and Southeastern personality that earns a city restaurant its national food media reputation.

What to Eat
The Smoked Brisket — slow-smoked over post oak in the Texas tradition with proper bark and the rendered fat that earns a brisket its reputation — is the pit centerpiece that built Fox Bros’ Atlanta reputation and the item most first-timers order. The Smoked Wings with house-made sauce are the bar food crossover that earns their own devoted following among regulars who would never order wings at a BBQ restaurant anywhere else. The Fox Bros Chili made with house-smoked brisket is the comfort food option that proves the kitchen thinks creatively about its smoked meat program. Find an Atlanta hotel on Trivago.
