DBA Barbecue...next stop on the journey

On the next step of our bbq tour of Atlanta we had dinner at DBA Barbecue in the Virginia Highland area in Altanta off of N Highland. Another great little spot that was great versus going to a typical chain restaurant. In warmer months would be a good patio spot, they had a good size covered patio when you walk up. The inside had booth against the walls, a bar up front and tables throughout. They had an open kitchen and you could smell the bbq as you walked up. They are having a fish fry in February, might have to venture back over for some fish and hush puppies.

DBA had a pretty cool menu and full bar with again a good selection of beer. They even had some pretty good sounding burgers on there as well. We started off with an order of sweet tater tots and fried pickles/bacon with ranch. The tots were just okay, but the pickles/bacon were good. The bacon was literally just rolled in what looked like catfish batter and deep fried. The table was split 50/50, but I thought it was pretty damn good.

As far as a meal, I went with the old standard and got a chopped brisket sandwich with a side of mac 'n' cheese. The meat again was tender, but a little dry. The mac was really good and it was definitely made from scratch. John had one of the most incredible sandwiches I have ever heard of. It was called "The Archie Bunker." It is Texas toast with smoked pulled pork topped with mac 'n' cheese, sweet bbq sauce and jack/cheddar cheese.

Overall a 4 beers out of 5. Will definitely return for some grub.
