One of the best barbecue joints in Marietta is RIGHTEOUS QUE.. The pork is divine, or you could say
the swine
is divine.
But, the beef
brisket is even better than the pork.
The co-owner, and Patrick, seems to be the manager in
charge, seems to know all the top barbecue restaurants owners in Marietta and even knows their spouses. Apparently, he worked for or with them all at
one time or another. I suppose that is
how he learn to cook such mouth watering meat.
The pork tastes a lot like Sam Huff's BBQ #1. Davie Poe's BBQ2, and Grand
Champion BBQ (GC BBQ).
The sides are good too.
They are kind of frugal with their bread though. You have to ask for it. I never heard of barbecue served without
bread until we walked in this restaurant.
We asked for bread and the bread they delivered is high quality.
The restaurant is a small hole-in-the wall in the Publix
Shopping Center at Roswell and East Piedmont Roads. It has only 6 small tables, so I think it is probably more cut out more for carry
out. The first time we ate there, and
next two times we carried out. Last
night we had BBQ pulled pork salads. The
salad itself it just a salad. Lettuce,
tomatoes, and cucumbers, but the pork and the barbecue sauce made it.
Speaking of barbecue sauce they have regular sweet barbecue
sauce and also white barbecue sauce that is supposed to be like the white
mayo-based barbecue sauce in north Alabama.
Patrick is red headed and very polite and customer
friendly. I think the
"Righteous" in the name refers
to a religious experience he had or felt.
I mentioned Patrick was red headed because I thought it was
interesting that a young man and a young lady, at two different times worked
there were also red headed. I wonder if
they are close kin?
And Jim's Smokin' Que just
south of Blairsville is run by a mother and father and 3 red headed daughters
works there. Could it be a family chain?
