DBA Barbecue - Chastain — Restaurant in Atlanta

Coming from someone born and raised in a real bbq city your food doesn’t cut it at all. Especially the sides. You wouldn’t last a 1 year lease in a top class neighborhood in a city that actually knows good bbq

But don’t take it personal because Georgia simply can’t smoke meat…at least commercially…I don’t know about individual households…but seriously out of every southeastern state Georgia bbq restaurants are on the low end.

I’m sorry to hear that a delivery driver (allegedly ) stole an order. Your food is not worth stealing. I hope they didn’t eat it, matter of fact if they did they probably stopped after the first bite into your flavorless food.

As someone who has delivered food for 7 years now, which wouldn’t be possible if I was out here stealing orders, I’m tired of the disrespect from restaurant staff and management. I don’t condone any driver stealing orders but it may have something to do with any of the following:

Ridiculous unfounded inflation

Ridiculous disparity in wages

Ridiculous 50% decrease in driver pay from delivery companies

Ridiculous attitudes from staff

A government that provides more tax burden and less benefit to its workforce

And a contracting labor market

Though I am fortunate to be in a position to mitigate these factors, I am not dumb bead blind and ignorant to the reality that people are enduring like you Dumb Barbecue A… you can guess what the A stands for…

Maybe you guys should evaluate whether you want to be “partnered” with a company that is exploiting your product as well as driver labor, especially if you’re going to be pushing on drivers like me who haven’t done anything to you and have always tried and gone often above and beyond dealing with way more than you could ever imagine, just to be the INTEGRAL PART of expanding YOUR BRAND to customers through these delivery platforms.

And trust me I would have gladly told you all of this face to face if I didn’t have to deliver your customers order in a timely manner…so be thankful you received grace and we’re spared from being told about yourself in person. If it hurts to read this, like my parents would tell me whenever they disciplined me for being wrong, “it hurts me more than...

Kids wanted bbq, right across the street almost, was DBA! Service was great! Food was 4.4. Details, wings were just ok, smoked but needed deeper flavor and smoke (admittedly wings are a tough one, but can be done well). Pork ribs were very good, flavorful without sauce! Also I was extremely happy about all of them. I’m partial to sweet, and it was good. The surprise was the enjoyment ment of the tangy and Carolina. The turkey was flavorful and the kids demolished it. We also had the Ruben, and yep that really worked well too!! Mac n cheese….ehhhhhh. Beans were really good (sweet). Slaw, on point…..Greens were flavorful and a hit, with nice pieces of garlic and turkey. Creamed corn was super solid, I did add a bit of Lawry’s. Green beans were conservatively seasoned but with decent flavor and some texture. Bbq can be extremely regional and subjective. I think they did a very nice good and are worth a visit. I will be back when...

I had DBA cater a cookout at my house recently, and…it was amazing. First off I asked for them to deliver to my home by 5:30 on Saturday night. And I live in Midtown. The delivery woman showed up at 5:28. Getting into my part of town on a Saturday at that time is extremely impressive. Perfect timing. And gratefully appreciated by my guests.

They ate everything.. The chicken wings were completely devoured, and (for whatever reason) I did not want coleslaw and I told the manager no thank you. He said trust me, you’re gonna want some… and some buns for sliders. By the end of the night guests were scraping the tin to get the last bite of coleslaw. And the buns were eaten like popcorn. Gone.. and the macaroni and cheese was just absolutely murdered. There was nothing left. The chicken, brisket and smoked turkey… I think I may have had one serving (combined) for one person left - and I ordered for 40.

Everything was fantastic! Thank...
