Harold's Barbecue

"Harold's is more famous for its chopped and sliced pork, but these ribs demand attention! In the background: cole slaw and a bowl of Brunswick stew."
Michael Stern






"No Georgia barbecue meal is complete without some Brunswick stew. At Harold's, it is a fine-textured soup/stew of pork, corn kernels, and tomato shreds."
Michael Stern



"Delicious all by itself, Harold's cornbread is essential for mopping and sopping sauce off one's plate. It's also good for crumbling into bowls of Brunswick stew."
Michael Stern



"The bread for this sandwich is lightly toasted on a grill above the wood fire behind Harold's counter. It is ordinary bread, but the smoke taste it inhales makes it special."
Michael Stern



"Harold's has been an Atlanta destination for more than half a century."
Michael Stern



"In the South, a happy pig almost always signals good barbecue."
Michael Stern



"Apparently, this photo is now history. We have been told (but have not personally tasted) that Harold's has gone to gas cooking and no longer burns wood. We were assured that the BBQ remains excellent."
