Sweet Auburn BBQ, Barbecue restaurant in Downtown Atlanta, US.
Sweet Auburn BBQ is a barbecue restaurant in downtown Atlanta. The kitchen slow-smokes meats like brisket, ribs, and pulled pork and finishes them with house-made sauces.
The restaurant began as a food truck run by chefs Richard Shelor, Howard Hsu, and David Buster. Later it opened a permanent location on Edgewood Avenue.
The owners blend their Asian background with Southern barbecue traditions, creating dishes like pimento cheese wontons and coconut lemongrass ribs. This fusion appears throughout the menu and shapes how food tastes here in unexpected ways.
The restaurant opens for lunch and dinner throughout the week, staying open longer on weekends. Visitors should plan for slow-cooked food, as the smoking process takes time to complete each dish properly.
The restaurant hosts regular events like Happy Pu Pu Hour and Wings & Wine Wednesdays throughout the year. Regular visitors can join a VIP list to get discounts and special offers.
