Where to get barbecue in Marietta: Whitlock, Roswell Road and more

Last checked Oct. 6, 2026. Refreshed every three months.

Marietta’s barbecue is spread out. Two places are close to the Square, Dave Poe’s on Whitlock Avenue and Smokehouse Q in Marietta Square Market. The others are on Roswell Road, Cobb Parkway and Sandy Plains Road, and one of them is a Korean barbecue restaurant.

How we made this list. The places come from OpenStreetMap records inside Marietta’s city limits, the same data behind our business directory, checked against each place’s own website on Oct. 6, 2026. Smokehouse Q is also listed in the Marietta Square Market vendor directory. Sonny’s location page would not load for us, so a June 2, 2026, record in the Georgia Department of Public Health inspection database confirms it is operating, and its phone number comes from the OpenStreetMap record. The list is alphabetical. It is not a ranking or a recommendation, and nobody paid to be on it. Run one of these places? Write to us to correct your entry.
