Bruce's Rollin' Smoke BBQ

The Vibe

You absolutely have to hit up Bruce's Rollin' Smoke BBQ while you're in Marietta. Seriously, it's a five-star joint for a reason. Expect that classic, slow-smoked flavor that just falls off the bone, especially on their brisket and ribs – those are the real stars here. The place itself has that laid-back, welcoming vibe of a true local spot, with picnic tables outside for when the weather's nice and a steady buzz of folks enjoying good food. Go for lunch, that's when it really shines, and be prepared for a bit of a line, but it moves quickly. Order the loaded potato with your choice of meat, or if you're feeling adventurous, grab a combo plate to try a bit of everything. Parking's usually fine right out front.
