Fox Bros BBQ: A Taste of Texas in Atlanta

fox bbq bros.When Jonathan Fox couldn’t find Texas Style bbq in Atlanta, he decided to take matters into his own hands. He started cooking bbq on his own and it became the stuff of legends. When he was laid off from his corporate job, he knew exactly what he was gonna do next.  He and his brother serve food with ‘Texas roots and a Southern influence.’ If you are a meat eater come hungry. The brisket, ribs, smoked chicken and an obvious fave, pulled pork sandwich, are all well worth a trip. They’ve also won a ‘Best Wings in Atlanta’ award.  But the great news is, you’ll love Fox Bros. if you are a vegetarian!  Fried okra is served whole, not sliced in pieces and is delicious.  Bravo to their mac and cheese too, and don’t miss the fried pickle chips.  It will be tough, but save room for dessert. You won’t regret it.
