The Best BBQ in Canton, GA

Brisket, ribs, pulled pork, and Brunswick stew — Canton's best barbecue, plus an award-winning Woodstock spot worth the drive.

Georgia takes its barbecue seriously, and Canton holds its own. Here's where to get the good stuff.

Four 41 South BBQ Co.

149 Reinhardt College Pkwy, Suite 13, Canton, GA 30114

Casual, smoke-forward, and family-run — pit-to-plate barbecue focused on the brisket and scratch-made sides, not restaurant theater.

Brisket with scratch-made sides — go before it sells out.

Queenie's Southern Restaurant & Bar

151 W Main St, Canton, GA 30114

Warm, stylish Southern comfort food that feels polished enough for a date or client meal but still unmistakably comforting.

The BBQ ribs and the BBQ shrimp and grits.

Bub-Ba-Q

10020 Hwy 92, Ste 100, Woodstock, GA 30188 (worth the drive)

A casual, award-winning barbecue joint on the Hwy 92 side of Woodstock — smoke-forward and focused on the meat. The Woodstock counterpart to Four 41 South.

The beef brisket, pulled pork, and Brunswick stew — popular meats can sell out late.
