Found out about It’s Different BBQ from my wife after she suggested a new bbq in Buford that had a lot of good reviews and high praise. We ordered a variety of items as we wanted to see what all the hype was about. Wow! After eating our BBQ feast I can say with high confidence, this is HIGH quality BBQ! From the Brisket, to the ribs, to all the sides, and even the BBQ sauces this place nails it with excellence.
What we ordered: 3 orders of 1/4 brisket, 1/2 rack of ribs, 16 oz of Mac and cheese (2 orders), 8 oz baked beans, 8 oz green beans, 8 oz cole slaw, 8 oz banana pudding. I repeat, we loved every item.
When a BBQ restaurant puts in the work and focuses on high quality, it is easy to see why they are different, bc frankly, “It’s Different BBQ!”
Service is excellent.
Note: please check your order if you are taking out. They might forget to give you your entire order which happened to us. No big deal, we live close by and made quick fix of the bag that they accidentally had in the warmer.
5 solid stars for Its Different BBQ in Buford!
Thank you!

The food was incredible! We tried the brisket burger, Mac n cheese, and potato salad. The brisket burger was juicy and flavorful. We loved the Mac n cheese and how cheesy it was, and potato salad was perfect. We also tried the Butter Pecan Cream soda and the Banana Cream soda, and both were delicious. The staff were also super friendly, and there’s two picnic tables where you can eat outside. Will be coming back! Thank you!

Great food and great service! We placed a large catering order and made multiple calls, and every interaction was kind, patient, and helpful. The team was very knowledgeable and easy to work with.
The food arrived hot and fresh for our luncheon, and the flavor was some of the best BBQ we’ve had. Excellent quality all around — we’ll definitely be ordering again.

Brisket, ribs, mac and cheese and green beans were so so good. We were able to try the potato salad, which was good but we arent big potato salad eaters. I was pleasantly surprised to see some indoor seating when we arrived, because we were mentally prepared for a trunk top parking lot lunch. They also have a couple of covered picnic tables outside. Its a great little spot and will be a go to for us in the future. Highly recommend the mac and cheese and brisket.

Finally got around to trying this, been wanting to go for a long time.
Entire menu is gluten free, which usually makes things taste weird, but they make it work.
Girl at the counter was super friendly.
Brisket burger was excellent. Pulled pork was also very good. Topped with in house pickles and picked onions made it even better.
Got mac and cheese and potato salad for sides, both were also very good.
Couldn’t not get the banana pudding and it didn’t disappoint.
Will definitely be going back.

The store is very clean and the staff is friendly and attentive, the food itself is amazing and the brisket burger is huge and filled with so much flavor. The Mac and cheese has texture and complexity and the turkey is so juicy. Overall, I’d recommend It’s Different BBQ Company to friends. A small note, this isn’t a family sized sit down restaurant, there are stools, it will be a better idea to order your food to go.

It’s Different BBQ Company is a true gem in Buford! This place is owned by a very nice, hard-working family, and you can feel the pride they put into their food. The menu isn’t huge, but everything they serve is all about quality over quantity. The smell of the brisket when you walk in will instantly make your mouth water.
We tried the brisket fried rice, and it was outstanding – unique, freshly made right in front of us, and a very fair portion for the price. The pulled pork sandwich had great flavor, with nicely shredded pork and a tasty bark, though we thought the bun was a little bigger than the amount of meat. Still, it was delicious. The green beans were also fantastic, full of flavor and a great side.
This is the kind of local spot you root for. We’ll definitely be back to try more of their smoked meats. Wishing this family all the best with their BBQ business—it’s well worth a visit!

Very good, authentic Texas-style barbecue spot serving up smoked sliced brisket, pork ribs, pulled pork, sliced turkey, and more.
My favorites are the brisket and ribs. The brisket is succulent, fork tender, and juicy. Their ribs almost fall off the bone, but have the right amount of tug. They have some seasoning to them but aren’t slathered in sauce like Kansas City ribs.
They have a great smoked brisket burger and occasional specials such as Dino beef ribs, brisket fried rice, burnt ends, pork belly, and more.
Overall, this is some of the most perfectly cooked barbecue I’ve ever had. The flavor of the smoke penetrates deeply into well seasoned, high quality meat. One of my favorite hidden gems in metro Atlanta. Highly recommend.

Absolutely Worth the Hype – A Game Changer for Gluten-Free BBQ Lovers!
I can confidently say that It’s Different BBQ lives up to its name — in all the best ways. As someone who appreciates both great food and inclusive dining, this place is a rare gem. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear this restaurant was built with purpose, care, and a strong sense of community.
What sets It’s Different BBQ apart is their 100% gluten-free kitchen. This isn’t just a trendy label — it’s a serious commitment to safety and quality for those with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or autoimmune conditions. Their front-door sign explains their “why” so passionately and clearly. It’s not just food; it’s about making everyone feel safe, seen, and welcome. And that level of intention is rare in the restaurant world.
Now let’s talk about the food — phenomenal. Rich, smoky barbecue with bold, memorable flavors, all without the worry of cross-contamination. Whether you’re gluten-free or not, you’ll leave satisfied. The quality is top-tier, and you can taste the love and attention that goes into every bite.
The vibe is laid-back and clean, with a fun, family-friendly aesthetic. The mural at the front is a cute, whimsical touch, and everything from the signage to the smoker in the back lets you know they take pride in what they do.
