We loved our first time visit at Socks Love BBQ and it is worth the mention. From the time we walked in, we were greeted by Iwona the store manager and the owner Kelly. Friendly atmosphere and great food. This establishment is under new ownership, but the current owners, Kelly and Brian have been in the food business for over 20 years. They also own Tam’s Backstage in Cumming Georgia. I would recommend this BBQ place for an authentic southern food experience.
… moreso so
No point of reference as this was my first time having barbecue, but the experience was great! The workers were nice and the atmosphere was good. The brisket and pulled pork were both good, but I’d say the sandwhich is much better value wise than the plate. You get a similar amount of meat, so you’re essentially just paying for an extra side. The Mac and cheese and cream corn was delicious though!!

Restaurant is a little small, but totally worth it. When you think “hole in the wall” with the best food youve ever had, Socks Love is it. The Brisket is amazing, I eat it without any sauce (the only way to eat good brisket right) What’s even better than the brisket you ask……… the “OMG Mac and Cheese.” It is absolutely out of this world.

This place has gone downhill since the new owner, Brian Tam, took it over. They took the best place to get ribs and turned it into a disgusting bbq place like everywhere else. I had been coming to Socks Love since 2021 and now I’ll never go again.
Crazy thing is that Tam was given the original owners recipes so they could continue making the same great food. Instead he threw it all out and started serving basic, generic, and frankly disgusting bbq. Would give 0 stars if I could.
Edit: I cannot respond directly to a reply on my review so I will add it here. I know the transition was two months ago, I was there to speak with the original owner before he left and see the transition which is how I know that he passed the recipes on to you. You guys did ok for a bit during the transition but the last time we went there which is when it was fully under your control with your food being cooked, it was awful. The ribs were the best part about your restaurant and now they’re overly sweet and taste like sugar and ketchup. And your Brunswick stew, I was so thankful there was a bbq joint not just serving up the same basic food and sure enough, you added it to the menu. Socks Love was delicious and unique and you guys have turned it into the same basic meemaw and papaw bbq place on every corner.

Tucked away in a very unassuming corner of Cumming is one of the most fabulous bbq restaurants in the south. I’ve rarely expect much of restaurants like this because as noted on many of my reviews, I am a dedicated bbq snob of the highest order. However my socks were literally blown off by Socks Love.
The pork sandwich was exactly how a pork sandwich should be – smoky, moist and piled high. Also, because snob, I rarely do more than taste the bbq sauce. Socks Love sauce is tangy, smoky and just a touch of sweet. Perfect!
The brisket deserves a review of its own. As well cooked as any brisket this side of Houston, my slice only ensured that I’ll be back for a whole plate. The sides we tried were great too. The country slaw was delectable, the okra better than your great grandmother’s and the pickles – for all that’s sacred in food, the pickles were legendary with their briny taste and firm texture.
Can’t wait to go back and see the owner Crazy Kay and get more brisket!

Wow, we smelled the BBQ coming down 20 and almost missed it. A little shop but great food. Took a while to get the food but they were packed out for lunch. Not much seating, so maybe grab and go, or order ahead. Brisket was awesome, manc and cheese and cream corn as well. Highly recommended

This place has THE BEST BBQ EVER. My husband just brought some home and it was so good we didn’t even sit down to eat, literally took a bit to try it and couldn’t stop.
We got the brisket sandwich and mac n cheese. The briskets melts in your mouth. It’s so frekin good. And the mac and cheese is to die for. Better than any other bbq place we’ve tried. I wish i took a picture of the food before but im sorry there’s nothing left we munched down on that.

Best Texas style Brisket in GA and look at my reviews and feed to see how many in Texas i have tried! Ribs and Turkey are incredible too. Try the sides in my favorite order, Cowboy Beans, Mac and Cheese and Fried Okra but doubt you will be disappointed in anything Steven Hartsock creates. He occasionally makes a BBQ Birria Ramen that should win him a Michelin Star someday, yet he is the kindest and humble guy you will ever meet. Come see him early before they sell out!

I’m picky about my BBQ… and when I say WOW, I mean WOW! The brisket, sausage, Mac, and collard greens were out of this world. The sauce was amazing. Sweet, tangy, with a very slight kick. If you have been looking for good BBQ run, don’t walk.

Went there today and I was very sad. Not the original owners and the food was no where near what it was before. Very expensive for BBQ. First of all I ordered the 5 meat special and the price rang up wrong. The guy behind the counter said it included tax which was wrong. When I did the math he then said they must have changed the price. So I told him to just give us two turkey plates instead. No offer to honor the price on the menu.
Then the turkey came out under cooked. Asked for white sauce and they no longer have this. Beans were very good, but corn was not. Biggest disappointment was the Mac and cheese. Simply not the homemade delicious Mac they had before.
The manager or owner stopped and asked how the food was. We tried to be kind but honest and said it simply was not anything like before. Did not mention this all cost over $55 for two drinks and two turkey plates. She was kind and said they would try to do better. Fo her sake I hope so. Doubt we will be back. To many better options in town.
