Dining room at Community BBQ, Decatur, GAPossessing pretty nifty chef’s credentials, David Roberts and Stuart Baesel are devoted to barbecue, and their passion for the subject makes a difference. Roberts worked for Guenter Seeger both at The Ritz-Carlton and at Seeger’s, while Baesel worked at Seeger’s. Not only are the ribs---St. Louis cut---properly slow-smoked revealing the tell-all pink smoke ring, the chicken rates as well. Smoked beef ribs are virtual meat candy, and the smoked sausage sits at the top of the line as well. Mac ‘n’ cheese is made with penne and comes quite cheesy with a lovely top crust. Slaw is fresh tasting and delightfully crunchy, as if all the vegetables were chopped by hand; we also suggest the collard greens. Dessert might be a strawberry shortcake with lemon buttermilk pound cake and whipped cream, but they changed often. The team sources much of its raw material from local purveyors, making a real difference. Even the lemonade is freshly squeezed. No alcohol.
