Our Take
The Spot
Gene's serves barbecue out of East Lake, on Hosea L. Williams Drive, with a regular menu alongside a program of live shows and events. A dedicated catering menu extends the operation beyond the dining room for parties and other gatherings.

Regulars point to strong barbecue quality and a quirky, fun atmosphere backed by solid service, describing it as a go-to spot worth returning to.

Atlanta Journal-Constitution named Gene's to its 2025 list of the city's best restaurants, and The Infatuation scored it 8/10.
