Rated #1 barbecue in Atlanta by Meredith Ford in the Atlanta-Journal Constitution!
At Sam and Dave's BBQ1 and BBQ2, our team philosophy is simple: we believe in preserving the history and family tradition associated with the art of cooking barbecue. In the South, barbecue is more than just food preparation; it's a way of life. Barbecue is how we have always celebrated family gatherings because it's a way of bringing people together. Many argue that the rise and popularity of barbecue shows are a backlash against the fast food industry. We believe fast food has no soul. Cooking real barbecue is the exact opposite, which is why we believe people are drawn to it. Sam and Dave's BBQ1 and our competition cooking team, Lost Mountain Barbecue, are the solution.
Established in 2000, Lost Mountain Barbecue strives to preserve old traditions by using the same original, slow pit-cooked methods used by the generations of barbecuers who have come before us. Everything we use is hand-crafted and made from scratch including all of our sauces, injection fluids, basting liquids, rubs and mops. We believe that taste is in the details, and taste is what distinguishes merely good barbecue from great barbecue.
Our award-winning team works hard to perfect our sauces and get just the right balance of spices to create a rub that delivers melt-in-your mouth ribs, shoulders, whole hog, seafood and just about anything else your taste buds may fancy!
