"WOW. If you are looking for real southern barbecue in the heart of Atlanta, this is it!<br/ <br/ 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. <br/ <br/ 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)<br/ <br/ 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. <br/ <br/ 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.<br/ <br/ If you are in the area and you love BBQ, please give Smoke Ring a shot! You will not be disappointed!"

"The wife and I found ourselves in Ronceverte, wv just in time for the state fair. We were looking for some good food away from the fair crowd that swarmed everywhere. Found Stuart’s on google and decided heck let’s give it a try. We pull in after a short scenic drive and it looks interesting so we went on it. The place was just about empty except a few older guys drinking at the bar. This should have been clue one. The waitress came to the table and got our drinks and told us about the food and the menu. We ordered some chicken legs and the bbq sampler. The waitress then told us it was open mic and karaoke night and if we wanted to set out on the patio to watch we could, so we moved outside. For an hour we had to listen to some tone deaf reformed druggie try to sing his own songs that all sounded alike and no one could understand a thing he said. Then praise the lord the food showed up finally I thought. The brisket was charred black and dry as the dessert. The pulled pork smelled rancid. The chicken legs were sorta foul smelling. It was like the food had been setting for days out in the open and they served it anyway. Not sure why it took so long as there was nothing that came to the table that had been freshly cooked except a small plate of frys. In the end those frys turned out to be the highlight of the meal. I am not sure why people rave about this place and the food. Maybe it was an off night for them but I will not return to find out. If your hungry for good food just wave as you pass this place because you will not find it there. Good luck"

"I 'm torn on this review, so I 'm going in the middle with 3 stars. Some great, some bad. The great: Who doesn 't love fresh, hot out of the oven baked rolls? Probably one of the best reasons to visit Spring Creek BBQ. The turkey was delicious and moist, too. Not a lot of smokey flavor, but it was tasty. The mac and cheese seemed The bad: Unfortunately, the rest of the BBQ. The ribs were awful! Super dry and hard to eat! They were a big disappointment and a waste of money! The brisket was only okay to me. We usually get much better brisket at most other BBQ restaurants we go to, even other big red/yellow chains. The sides besides the mac cheese) were... meh. Another big let down is that they don 't let you go back for refills on your sides like they used to do before Covid 19 happened). I don 't get this. It isn 't like customers are handing them a dirty, used dish, and they are refilling a used dish. They would always use a clean dish. What is the difference then and now? I think it is just a lousy excuse to save some money and pinch pennies. It is really too bad. We used to really like this place, but it has become a poor experience. To top it off, our meal 2 adults and 3 kids ages 9, 11, 13) cost $88.60 tip!!! That is WAY too much for mediocre food! This is with everyone drinking water, too except for 1 soda). Just nuts. I guess we won 't be returning. :"
