If I could give 10 stars, I would! This place is AMAZING! Every single thing about my experience here was on point. Our waitress, Mackenzie, gave 90’s style customer service. She was attentive, knowledgeable & just had an all-around sunny & professional disposition. The food should be featured on one of Gordon Ramsey’s shows! I was pleasantly surprised by not only the decor but the prices, quality of food, the amazing staff… just EVERYTHING! I will most definitely be coming back! Do yourself a favor and go here. Thank me later!!

The food and service was great. I love the bbq and Asian fusion. I ordered the chicken plate with jerk collards and side salad with the white balsamic dressing. Everything was well seasoned and flavorful. I loved the homemade bbq sauce options as well. I also love that they have an allergen menu on their website so it was easy ordering dairy free items.

YES!!! This is a BBQ restaurant with an Asian flair, that you did not know you needed. There is cool vibe the second you walk in the door. You may think, “ok, this place is fun to hang out at and food will just be basic….” NOPE, you are wrong! You have to have the Pimento Cheese Wontons, (I do not even like pimento cheese), I LOVED these wontons. It was a flavor dance in your mouth.

Sunday afternoon around 6. Not too busy. Food was amazing. Brussel Sprouts were best I’ve had at a restaurant. Food was enough to share and left overs. We also enjoyed dessert. Can’t wait to return.

Yum can we just say yum? New establishment in the area and here to stay from what we’ve experienced. The host stand was super friendly, helpful and accommodating. Our server was fantastic and offered great suggestions, to which we took full advantage of! The food was hot and fresh and the meats, fall off the bone tender with great flavor. The prices are comparable for the area and also BBQ cuisine. Sweet Auburn is a “sweet” and welcomed addition to the Mcdonough restaurant community! Great experience!

This was our first time here and it will not be the last. The food is excellent but keep in mind that this is BBQ with an Asian twist so some of the food will be a bit spicy but the flavors are very good! It was a nice atmosphere and very clean restaurant. The staff are very nice people. Our waitress was great! I’m sorry I can’t remember her name to give her a shout it. We will be back to try more food and drinks!

Nice restaurant with lots of echo and no sound dampening, but it’s definitely terrible BBQ. This is not what we call BBQ in Georgia. Asian flavors are dominant, not the smoked meats. You can tell green beans are cooked in a wok. Mashed potatoes have horseradish, corn bread has jalapeños and sweet potato fries have sesame seeds and truffle oil. It’s just plain weird for a BBQ joint.
