Smokehouse Ribs

Slow-smoked ribs and tender BBQ

IN THE BEGINNING

For over 2 decades, the tantalizing aroma of slow-cooked barbecue has wafted through the bustling streets of Smyrna and Cobb County GA, courtesy of Thompson Brothers Barbecue. Established in 2000, this family-owned restaurant quickly gained renown for its mouthwatering Oklahoma-style barbecue. Thompson Brothers wood-fired smoked ribs, chicken, and brisket have captured the hearts of barbecue enthusiasts far and wide.
In 2002, Michael Moran, a student at Clark Atlanta University, began working part-time at Thompson Brothers BBQ. Although just part-time, Michael was exposed to and helped support every aspect of the restaurant’s operations. Once he graduated from CAU, Michael continued at Thompson Brothers, expanding his responsibilities and producing more and more success. As Mike’s role grew, he recognized the untapped potential to provide a high quality catering service, specializing in buffet lunches to offices and groups. Seizing the opportunity with unwavering determination, Michael serviced and grew the catering business, and it quickly flourished under his guidance. Initially fueled by strong relationships with pharmaceutical sales representatives, who regularly sought to delight their customers’ medical staffs with delicious barbecue lunches, Thompson Brothers BBQ quickly became a culinary cornerstone in the medical community.
But it wasn’t just the delectable barbecue that left a lasting impression on Thompson Brothers catering clients. Thompson Brothers BBQ became synonymous with impeccable, responsive, and flexible service. The importance of catering to the unique needs of medical professionals and pharmaceutical representatives, and our commitment to delivering excellence in every aspect has earned us the trust and loyalty of our cherished catering clients.

    The barbecue was delicious and the baked beans were phenomenal!! Smoked chicken was awesome, and the collards were hot and tasty. They are kind of tucked away off Cobb Pkwy, so you have to pull into the shopping center parking lot to find them. But, you'll be glad you did.

    I was looking for a rib joint that reminded of great barbecue from the back yard. This is your spot. The ribs were so delicious I forgot to use the sauce. My grands also had the Mac and cheese and collards. OMG it was done in 5 minutes and they are picky eaters. I am about to order a sandwich to go for later. I would also say their lemonade is delicious as well. This is not a five star restaurant but this is a down home spot with five star food.

    C&B BBQ in Smyrna is worth the drive! May seem strange but the salmon is epic. We have been enjoying their bbq for years. This is real, not some mass market chain food. The greens are awesome, not canned! Best bbq I’ve had in the ATL area. Reminds me of Payne’s on Lamar Ave in Memphis. We will continue to support this local establishment & hope you will too.
