Creative Loafing Atlanta: Small touches like Edison bulbs, barstools and chairs with a hint of steampunk, Mason jars, and bits of moonshine machinery fill out the sprawling place. Read more.
Louis Metcalf: Brisket burrito! Roasted Brussels sprouts w/maple syrup; Bleu cheese and bacon potato salad. Good beer and spirits selection.
Eater: This Castleberry Hill spot opened late this Fall and is already a contender for some of the city's top barbecue. Go for ribs, brisket, jalapeno cornbread, and cocktails like the boiled peanut martini.

Anthony Khedaywi: Brisket, Mac and cheese and coke slaw. Spicy BBQ was great. Free pork rinds was a nice, tasty touch.
