Daddy D’z is the real deal. You won’t find faux wood or fancy prices, just some smack-yourself-good BBQ sauce and some of the friendliest servers in the southeast. The tagline says it best, “We ain’t pretty, but we’re good.” This Atlanta staple has all your contenders: ribs, pulled pork, chopped chicken and a slew of slides that will leave you ready for a nap. The mac, Brunswick stew and candied yams are some of our favorites. The patio provides no heat or air conditioning — but makes a lively stage for weekend blues bands — or you can find a comfortable seat inside.
