About this restaurant

Good for groups
Neighbourhood gem
Great for outdoor dining

Lewis Barbecue, will fire up its newest location on the Atlanta Beltline’s Northeast Trail at Ansley Mall (1544 Piedmont Ave. NE, Atlanta, GA 30324 - Unit 406). A destination of smoky flavors, music and community, guests to Lewis’ can expect what critics have called “life-changing ‘cue,” served with honky-tonk tunes, ice-cold drinks, and laid-back Texas-style hospitality. The Atlanta opening comes just weeks after Lewis Barbecue earned a MICHELIN Guide Bib Gourmand distinction, recognizing the restaurant for its superior quality and great value, thus validating its laid-back, approachable vibe that welcomes all ages and party sizes. Lewis Barbecue has built a cult following for its legendary beef brisket, beef ribs, pork ribs, pulled pork, turkey, and “Texas hot guts” sausage, all smoked low and slow over Texas oak in pits custom-designed by Lewis himself. Six massive smokers sit above the new restaurant in the world’s first rooftop smokehouse that overlooks the Beltline.

The preview night of Lewis Barbecue at Ansley Mall, right across from the BeltLine and next to The Cook's Warehouse, was a great experience! The setup is a line-up style service: you start with the sides, then move down to the pit crew offering chopped or sliced USDA prime brisket, pork spare ribs, Texas hot guts and green chile cheddar sausage, and pulled pork to order. At the end of the line there’s a good selection of tangy and spicy sauces to choose from. The brisket was cooked to perfection, the sausage had a perfect snap, and all the sides I tried —mac and cheese, potato salad, collard greens, and the green chile corn pudding—were exceptional. The staff was friendly and efficient, especially for a soft opening. The dining room was lively, and Bar Lewis next door is perfect for grabbing a before or after drink. Overall, excellent food and a smooth experience. What an incredible addition to Ansley Mall. I’ll definitely be back soon!!
