This food truck comes to my office park on Tuesdays. I was so disappointed by the food and service today. Ive never written a review before, but this is something that needs to be addressed. Not only were they out of everything, but what little they did have they couldnt even get right. I ordered a pork sandwich with coleslaw and the lady said they were out of coleslaw so I told her baked beans instead. She charged me 10.50 which I thought was kind of pricey for just a sandwich but I was in a rush to get back to the office so I paid for it and tipped her. Then the cook gives me a pork platter with mac n cheese and baked beans. That was not what I ordered and then I realized why the cost was higher. I told her I did not order this and she argued with me and said "yes you did" Umm... no I didnt and they guy in line behind even heard me order a pork sandwich. She then said "well what do you want me to do about it?" I just left because I was hungry and didnt want to wait back in line for a refund. I figured, oh well it will still be good even though I wasted $12. It was not good. I got more fat than pork. All the food was cold. Beans, mac n cheese, pork were ALL cold and gross. I will never eat here again and never recommend this to anyone. I was in the food-service industry for years and this service and food was so unacceptable.

Southern/Asian fusion BBQ restaurant that does wings, pulled pork, and brisket very well. Came here to try their new location, staff was very friendly but obviously new and couldnt answer a few of the tables questions. Other than that it was a superb time! We started off with what ended up being a table favorite, the pimento cheese wontons with bacon jam dipping sauce. Next we each had a different kind of BBQ to try them all. Highlights were the brisket and Wu Tang smoked chicken wings. Loved all of the sauces, especially the coconut lemongrass ribs, unfortunately they were rather tough. Cocktails were well made and interesting, Sweet Auburn BBQ is embracing Atlanta cocktail culture for sure!

Sweet Auburn Barbecue catered our son and daughter-in-laws wedding rehearsal dinner this past Friday evening at Rogers Bridge Park. The food was amazing and the staff was super friendly and easy to work with. They wanted nothing more than to help make this special occasion a success. I had made a special dessert request of banana pudding in mason jars and it was AWESOME. The service was fast and everyone really enjoyed it. Sweet Auburn Barbecue will be my first call the next time I have an event. Thanks Anita and Howard and staff.

The string beans will have you begging for more. If my mother wouldve cooked string beans in bacon fat I wouldve ate my vegetables every time.,the food is great and the sweet tea is perfect. The brisket was tasty, but the pulled pork is better. The staff is awesome and the bartenders are cool. Check them out if your in the area. You can park behind Urban outfitters for free!!!

The food truck came to galleria today. Ordered the brisket plate. I specifically asked for lean meat. Big hunk of fat made up 1/2 of my brisket serving. Mac and cheese was cold. Bread had a hole in it like someone stuck their finger (or something) through it. $10.50 for what amounted to half servings of everything. Skip these idiots and go to Heirloom Market on Akers Mill.

Worst BBQ i ever ate. The place was dirty and food undercooked. Even though we didnt eat they still insisted we paid for everything. After 3p minutes of discussing the bill and food they atill charged me 31 dollars. I was so ready to just leave. My whole experience was horrible. My wife and son both got sick from eating just a little bit of the sides. Never go here!

OMG ... the Wu-Tang wings are to die for. Honestly everything I have tried Ive been very pleased with. Staff is very attentive and welcoming. The manager always greets us warmly when we arrive which makes this place my neighborhood spot. My favorite cocktail is the Burn Down the House which is only served after 8pm. So worth it!!

Last month, I caught up with my extended family and made my first (but definitely not my last!) visit to Sweet Auburn BBQ! I decided to order the Carolina Pulled Pork Bowl - pulled pork atop stone ground cheddar grits, scallions and house sauce! So fricken delish! Full of flavor and there was so much food that I had leftovers!

Absolutely disgusting. I got a BBQ pulled chicken plate with a side of baked beans...nothing had any flavor. Howard Hsus dad was working the register and was rude and rushing people. The baked beans werent flavored and I had to spit it out...nothing was palatable. They should be ashamed to call that bbq and charge for it.

Have always wanted to like it, but the bbqs just not that great. Mac and cheese and Texas toast, now those are good, but the key feature pales in comparison to other places in Atlanta, let alone other places in the South. Better food can be found at most other stalls in the curb market.

Great urban feel. Excellent place to take a date. Some of the best BBQ Ive had in years. Im very picky about brunswick stew, but this place has the best. The only reason for 4 stars was the waitress was not very friendly, but maybe she was just having a bad day. Overall great experience

We just had Sweet Auburn cater a tenant event from their Food Truck. The food was awesome -- the brisket is out of this world! And, the guys from Sweet Auburn that came out were extremely professional and friendly to all of the tenants. Thanks Sweet Auburn for a great tenant event!

These folks are great. I had a fairly large order with them and they were able to take care of everything on very short notice. Their Mac n Cheese is ridiculously yummy and they were super willing to work with me regarding folks with dietary restrictions! A++, will be back!

My visit there did not disappoint either. I took my parents who are picky eaters and they really enjoyed the blend of Korean and American BBQ. Service was very attentive and made some good recommendations for us. The pricing was just right for everything.

Recently, the staff at Sweet Auburn BBQ catered our Baseball Tournament over Memorial Day weekend. They delivered the materials and even served some of our volunteer staff, players, coaches, etc. Anita was very professional and the food was great.

Some of the best Q Ive had in Georgia. I loved the Sweet sauce they make there and their Q pulls apart extremely easy. Theyve got the standard Q sides and the service is very friendly. This is probably my favorite Q place so far in north GA.

This place is fantastic!!! Everything Ive had is always so good! Their brisket is so yum! I always seem to fo back to the pulled pork bowl since I cant decide between a sandwhich or the grits! So the bowl is perfect! I definite recommend!

Love the bourbon selection! Great ribs. French fries are seasoned well. The BBQ tacos are my fav, especially since they allow you to substitute the meats. Would definitely go back!
