Spiced Right Ribhouse

Stopped in for breakfast Sunday morning. Great little spot. The building is nothing special, and could easily be passed by. One might not think of a bbq place as a place to get breakfast. The cinnamon rolls were very fresh, and could easily been the best that I ever had! I stopped in late, but they were very accommodating to bring out a fresh pot of coffee! Great customer service. Check them out!

I am so glad I gave this place a shot. We were planning to have barbecue but we were searching for any restaurant in Alpharetta or Roswell that has good food. Our fried suggested this place. Now maybe this place is not fancy but it definitely has great food. I tried the pulled pork sandwich with brunswick stew. Brunswick stew was very balanced and tasty. It is not too sweet or too sour. Also the ingredients were super fresh.
Pulled pork sandwich was awesome. The amount of pulled pork in it is good and the bread is fresh. I ordered fries for a side. The seasoning over the fries made that very delicious. I would have a full bowl of the fries by myself.
The only thing that I wasn’t wild about was the barbecue sauce at the tables. They didn’t taste so good and I know that would mean alot for some people. Since I don’t mind dry food much, that wasn’t a big deal but I think the owner should fix the sauce and add some tweaks to it.
I am definitely coming back here at least to pick up a sandwich or a soup.

OMG!!! This is it for me! As a foodie I’m on a life long quest for the best wings and BBQ. I found the latest winner in BBQ!
First off I’m a fan of spare ribs, most places are all about baby back. They only server spare. It’s a preference things and the spare rib is mine! Some say it’s a easy rib to cook, you can hide mistakes. I did disagree. My BBQ myself it’s difficult to get this fatty rib to perfection. And Spiced Right Nailed IT! The fat is gone, melted away, which is a difficult process to do without drying it out. These ribs were perfect in every sense. The hickory smoke wasn’t overbearing, the smoke ring edge and the juicy meat was as they say «spiced right».
The pulled pork was right on! Now it didn’t come with a lot of burnt ends, I didn’t ask for them so maybe that’s why. But the meat was tender, pull off the bone style tender. That same hickory flavor as the ribs and «spiced right». There sauces are sitting on the table waiting for you. They have a sweet and a spicy. I like mixing the two. Tomato base with a hint of vinegar — the way I like it. They have a nice variety of sides, I had the fried okra and slaw. Decent. They have a decent beer selection with both draft and bottled beers consisting of local breweries, national and a few foreign.
The atmosphere is your typical BBQ style joint, perfect down home feeling. No commercial chain here. This is a solid «walk in, place your order, sit down and wait place». No wait staff but the person behind the counter greets with a smile and delivers the food when ready. If you need anything after you order you’ll have to go back up to the counter, no one comes around to ask if you need anything, at least not for us. Not a ding for me, it’s just how they are setup.
Kid friendly for sure. We went on a Sunday after a hike and there was a mix of church crowd, hikers and a few younger hung over crowd.
Parking is tight. If they’re busy you’ll find it impossible to park at the restaurant. You can drive down the street and make it a nice walk from the Roswell Town square if necessary.

Visiting Atlanta and drove by and stopped because of the smell. I got a rib sandwich with sides. Everything had nice flavor and price wasnt bad. I do feel I could have gotten a bit more meat for what I paid for. I did like the meal. Would go back again definitely.

I love good bbq! My wife and i both had the pulled pork and we both said to each other «this is the best pork i have ever had» it was sooo tender and juicy!!!

Absolutely my favorite place in Roswell for breakfast. TRY THE DOUGHNUTS. Sweet lord, you’ll be so glad you did. They are made to order yeast doughnuts with vanilla icing glazed over them, steaming hot. Love the breakfast sandwiches & sides too. Great service & ambiance too. Bonus: they’re open every day, a rarity in the burbs!

Ribs were good. Brisket sandwich was great. They earned 3 stars because of their drinks. Soft drinks were flat and that’s a big part of a meal. Sweet tea wasn’t that good either. If they fix their drink situation, they will earn five stars.

Great breakfast (before 11:00) of brisket egg and cheese biscuits can be beat. Freshly made to order doughnuts aren’t a bad touch

Ribs great!
The banana pudding is the best anywhere ever!
Fries perfectly cooked and seasoned.
It is a joint, love the laid back atmosphere.
Roasted corn really good.

I can’t really tell you much about the barbecue BUT the breakfast was amazing! Aubre took my order and she was very nice. The food prices are super cheap! 2, 3,5 bucks! The portions are a good size as well. The sausage gravy biscuits was one of the best I have had in Atlanta. The biscuits where homemade and fluffy. The place is kinda ugly on the inside to me. Its all black and all so wrong. They have two tables outside you can sit at. I think this place is way over due for a remodeling job. Even though the décor is bad the breakfast food is 5 stars and will definitely be back.

It was overall very disappointing. I have moved here to GA for totally of 8 years, tried 4 different «well known» BBQ places including this one, and yet none of them has been nearly good. We both ordered 2 meats combo, brisket was extremely dry and tasteless, nor tender, and the ribs were not seasoned correctly either. I stopped trying GA BBQ now, especially after this place, nothing just tastes right here… it sucks!!! However, we really did like the sides there, fried okra was tasty and well seasoned, corn soufflé was yummy, and potato salad was delicious too, so i guess my suggestion is order the sides only when you come here!!! lol…

I’ve now eaten here 3 times and forgot to review.
Pork sandwich is good. I like the 2 BBQ sauces,

Spiced wrong is what they should call it. The guy who took my order was not friendly, almost robotic. Had the sandwich plate last night and it was tasteless. The Brunswick stew had no flavor and the potato hash casserole was horrible. I had to use the salt and pepper packet to give the food some flavor. Will not go back.

There isn’t anything spiced right about this place unless you like dry flavorless bbq.

Excellent bbq venue. I had the basic pulled pork sandwich, with fried okra and corn soufflé. BBQ was tender, good mix of meat. Okra was greasy, but didn’t have any of the chewy tough strings you sometimes get, so it was obviously fresh. Corn soufflé was good, but I’d go with a different side next time. Sauce was a choice between Hot and Smooth. Smooth still had a little kick, so very tasty. Seemed like a cross between vinegar and molasses based, excellent smokey flavor.
I came on a live music night, atmosphere was very enjoyable. Great 4-​piece blues set.
⁵⁄₅ would come back and bring friends.

I wish I could give 4 and a half stars… Almost perfect. The BBQ is nice and juicy, smoky, and tastily charred pieces. I like the rich and thick tomato-​based BBQ sause. The sides are great, particularly the onion rings and fried okra.
They have breakfast! Haven’t tried it yet, but I’d bet it a great.
I just want to take off half a star for inconsistent service. Service is good, but on occasion, a little off. For example, sometimes answering the phone takes priority over those waiting in line. Sometimes they are under staffed. It’s a BBQ joint, so I expect some amount of this. If the staff had a little more southern-​country charm, I wouldn’t notice these things.
Other great BBQ choices around are Pig-​n-​Chick and Swallow at the Hollow and Heirloom. But the 4 are so different that visiting all is a must. These 4 are much better than Slope’s and Old Hickory House and Dreamland. Sam’s BBQ-​1 is worthy.

I went to this joint because I am a fan of all BBQ. Every once in a while I will try BBQ restaurants that I have heard of just never eaten at, to compare it to other restaurants. I live pretty close to Spiced Right and have had their Sandwiches but not their ribs. So I am writing this review regarding their BBQ only, not their service, or parking, because I am a bit of a BBQ snob. People whining about service when reviewing a BBQ restaurant just seems silly. All of these people whining about service in a true BBQ joint would probably give you a blank stare if you asked what style of BBQ they liked the best, and then reply with uh.. . «southern I guess».
My review: Decent (middle of the road) smokey flavor. The meat was tender and moist. A little bit fatty. Don’t know what kind of dry rub they use but the dry rub was a little bit bland. The sauce was nice and smooth. Great value, you get a pretty large portion for a half rack price of $ 12.95. Overall though, pretty good Texas style bbq. Give it a 7.5 out of 10. For a comparison, that crap they serve at Chili’s and Shane’s Rib shack get a 2.5 and 3 respectively. They have earned my quick BBQ dollar because I live so close, but not my gotta have it and drive 30 miles vote.

Ordered take out on a late lunch around 1pm on Friday. 2.5 stars.
Service:
I was greeted as soon as I walked through the door. Careful you don’t trip over the threshold of the lower door frame. Since the main server was handling two orders before mine, a Latina server went ahead and took my order and informed me that the cashier server would be ringing me up. After placing my order and paying, I waited no less than 5 mins for my to go order. During this time the lot was full but there were really only two tables of dining in patrons.
Food :
The pulled pork tasted like a mix of different pulls of pork, some pieces were dry other moist. Not really much flavor except for the pieces of outer skin that was smoked.
Bbq sauce would be Memphis style, slightly sweet with a slight mesquite taste.
Macaroni & cheese, they gave me a side order that seemed cold. The shredded cheese wasn’t even melted. And their version had some mashed potatoes mixed in. A little odd of a combination, not much flavor. A KFC mix bowl would have more flavor in it. Pass on this unless they just screwed up my order.
Corn soufflé was decent. This at least was hot. As one reviewer stated, it’s like mashed cornbread with a slight hint of sweetness and bits of corn mixed in. Not bad but not wowed.
I’ll give this place one more try by dining in to see if the quality and taste are better.

A friend was visiting from PR and was wanting b.b.q. for his last dinner in Atlanta as he can’t get any there, Spiced Right was around the corner from where we were with the help of «Yelp.» Walking in we were loving the smell permeating the air we decided to get a couple of beers, a rack to share and potato salad & fried okra as sides. While we waited friend was getting a little nervous at the fact the place was empty well it wasn’t for long several take out orders were being picked up. He ate himself into a «piggy coma» before throwing his hands up and saying «no more.» We enjoyed it & I will be back to try the pulled pork.
The place is relaxed with a interesting hub cap collection decorating the walls.

Lunch with the coworkers brought me here. Smelling the smoker, I had high hopes.
I love ribs. I don’t eat them often due to the large order size and my preference for variety of sides over copious amounts of meat. But with my company paying the $ 10.25 for a rib sandwich with 2 sides, I decided to go for it. I chose hashbrown casserole and fried okra.
The rib sandwich (3 ribs on grilled white bread) was pretty good — just the right amount of meat, though the meat was not quite as tender or juicy as I’d prefer. The «spicy» sauce had just a little kick to it. The okra was nice and crispy, but also on the salty side. The hashbrown casserole was as thick as pudding with potato cubes in it and plenty of yellow cheese on top. I don’t recommend it.
The seating is pretty spacious, as long as you don’t try to put more than 4 in a booth. The décor is upscale barbecue shack with classic signs for automobile care and accessories, Coke, and other items of nostalgic Americana.
I’d go back for lunch, but I wouldn’t make a special trip on weekends.
