@jarrettisnotimpressed: If you’re a fan of @oldsouthbbqsmyrna and you’re trying your best to keep it open, then you should probably skip this review. I was told this place is in trouble because the construction on the street outside has kept potential customers away. 🤔👀 And while I’m never in the position of dragging small businesses, this one needs to reconsider its flavor profile before it gets busy again. 😬🤌🏽 The pork was dry and the sliced beef tasted like ashy elbows! The ribs were nice…good meaty portion and smoky flavor!! I wasn’t too happy with the sides. They tasted below basic. Yeah overall my experience wouldn’t being me back here. Have you ever been to Old South and what did you think?

Dude, did you not get a hug from Joy?! Great place that is a part of Smyrna History! Been going 50+ years and always a hug. Check out her Facebook page and try again. City has destroyed her business.

Drive by everyday never went specifically cause of the name the restaurant is surrounded by black and brown communities and they felt this name was appropriate in this day

That is the grayest brisket I’ve ever seen. And it has no smoke ring. Honestly how social media has people going WAYYY out of the way to get good food with good hospitality (Good as in being moderately nice). You have to be on top of your food game nowadays!!

I like the ribs and the chili dogs are good. Unfortunately like many restaurants that have mainly older patrons they just like the people that they know more so than strangers (not a good business model). Joy is not a racist though like many have suggested or insinuated in the comments. They do need to revamp in order to stay afloat.

You have got to be kidding me. They are the sweetest people you could ever meet. I find it funny you did not mention that as soon as you walk in the owner hugs everyone and is very family oriented. I personally love the food. They are far from racist if that is what you are implying.

Blah😂reminds me of this place in newnan called sprayberry. The typical clientele are generations from the same families that patronized since its existence during Jim Crow

Agreed. I was supremely disappointed when I went. Dry and flavorless. I lived close and I really wanted to like it.
