Simply superior ingredients make championship-level barbecue. At Big Shanty Smokehouse, every bite starts with Springer Mountain Farms chicken, and you can taste the difference immediately. I just visited and saw how world-class pit mastery meets chicken raised the right way. Hickory smoked, seasoned to perfection, and crafted by championship pitmasters, this is barbecue built on quality, care, and deep Georgia roots. For anyone in the Atlanta area or passing through Kennesaw, this is a must. Nationally, it’s a reminder that great BBQ starts long before it hits the pit. #

Great friendly service. Good food. They prepared and delivered to table. Not sure if Banana pudding or the coleslaw was my favorite. Can say that brisket, mmm yum.
They have sauce & seasoning available for purchase.

Now this place, is the Bomb.com. I went to this fine establishment pretty recently and had a splendid time. The service was excellent and the establishment had a very home like atmosphere. The food was awesome and super tasty. If you go, I highly recommend the pulled pork sandwiches and brisket (but everything is good). I WILL come back

This place is fantastic for some BBQ!! From the moment you arrive in the parking lot you smell the wonderful aroma of BBQ smoke. Once you step inside, the smoke aroma is so good that your mouth starts watering! Well, mine did at least. There are new owners to this establishment by about a month or so. I know what you’re thinking, “is the food still at the level it was before?”, because that’s what I was thinking. I’m happy to report that, the food is delicious! The pulled pork had a nice smoke in it. The collard greens were excellent and the mac-n-cheese was creamy with great flavor. I’ve been coming to this place for 10 years and it’s always a treat. I’m happy to discover that the new owners are taking the torch and running with it!

If I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars, I would.

This South Carolina native wanted some barbecue. They atmosphere was warm and the hospitality welcoming. The epitome of southern hospitality. Menu explained and history given. I got home and realized my order was missing a side. I called and the owner was empathetic and offered an additional side. The drive wasn’t far and I went back. Not only were they apologetic, but gave me a full refund. I objected, but he said MERRY CHRISTMAS and I know you’ll be back! Most definitely! Go and get some amazing barbecue with a side of love and southern hospitality!!

Had the brisket sandwich with slaw and a side of greens, one of the special sides of the day. The brisket was excellent! Hot, tender, fell apart nicely, great smoke flavor, just delicious! Greens were also very good, nice little tanginess to them. Staff were very friendly, advised on brisket instead of pulled pork since a fresh brisket was just about to be sliced. The owner checked on how everything tasted, took some time to have a little conversation. Overall, a great little place and meal. Will stop by again!

Great family owned BBQ place, you walk in and are greeted very nicely by everyone. They are very nice people with really great food. My go to BBQ spot in Kennesaw. Slightly higher prices than chain BBQ but it is worth every penny. If I could give 10/10 stars I would.
