🔥 Simply superior ingredients make championship-level barbecue. At Big Shanty Smokehouse, every bite starts with Springer Mountain Farms chicken, and you can taste the difference immediately. I just visited and saw how world-class pit mastery meets chicken raised the right way. Hickory smoked, seasoned to perfection, and crafted by championship pitmasters, this is barbecue built on quality, care, and deep Georgia roots. For anyone in the Atlanta area or passing through Kennesaw, this is a must. Nationally, it’s a reminder that great BBQ starts long before it hits the pit. 🐓🔥 #
Great friendly service. Good food. They prepared and delivered to table. Not sure if Banana pudding or the coleslaw was my favorite. Can say that brisket, mmm yum. They have sauce & seasoning available for purchase.
Now this place, is the Bomb.com. I went to this fine establishment pretty recently and had a splendid time. The service was excellent and the establishment had a very home like atmosphere. The food was awesome and super tasty. If you go, I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwiches and brisket (but everything is good). I WILL come back
Went in after local friend suggested for a Gluten Free BBq place. Met the owner great conversation around bbq life rhe sauces rhe rubs.....and best part the food I brought home. Fantastic flavor. The heat on the hot bbq sauce was great. If you haven't been yet get over here and get some great local bbq
This place is fantastic for some BBQ!! From the moment you arrive in the parking lot you smell the wonderful aroma of BBQ smoke. Once you step inside, the smoke aroma is so good that your mouth starts watering! Well, mine did at least. There are new owners to this establishment by about a month or so. I know what you're thinking, "is the food still at the level it was before?", because that's what I was thinking. I'm happy to report that, the food is delicious! The pulled pork had a nice smoke in it. The collard greens were excellent and the mac-n-cheese was creamy with great flavor. I've been coming to this place for 10 years and it's always a treat. I'm happy to discover that the new owners are taking the torch and running with it!
