2337 Main Street, Tucker, GA, USA
In 2020, Ford’s BBQ in Tucker, GA was born out of mutual respect for the no rush, low and slow technique required to make great barbeque by pit masters, Justin Bradford and Jon Jaffin. Ford's prides itself on serving high-quality smoked meats, made-from-scratch Southern sides with a Mexican twist, and special housemade sauces.

It was great except you had no smoked turkey and that is my favorite 😍

Came here recently and had the brisket and it was fantastic. *chefs kiss* We were treated at the door by a young kid with longer hair and cute touch of makeup and perfect nails. He was super nice. We will 100% be back. 10/10 recommend. More...

The food was terrible and there was a young man with make up and long purple fingernails hosting.
I would never recommend this place to anyone!

Our family of four stopped in on a whim after climbing Stone Mountain yesterday. Everything we ordered was absolutely amazing! Some of the best BBQ brisket and slaw I’ve ever had! My kids cleaned their plate and ordered dessert. The banana pudding was so good and fluffy and the floats are huge! Our waitress was super sweet and attentive too! Did you I tell you how fast the food came out?!?! Everything was great! 👍 More...

I have eaten here numerous times as a vegetarian and it's been delicious. Highly recommend the Cubano.
Also want to give a shout out to Lou on the waist staff.
Witnessed them dealing with an impolite guest and as someone who has waited tables before, I thought they did an excellent job dealing with that person's anger.

Very cool little spot with a large patio for dining. The appetizer bbq putine was amazing. The baked potatoes are huge and you can create your own. I got the brisket and pulled pork tacos and they were fantastic 👌🏼 Yeah highly recommended. Its a little small inside but it has a very cozy atmosphere and a very cool bar and again a nice outside patio. More...

Delicious coleslaw and loaded fries! Also the fried street corn was excellent! I bet every thing they have is probably really good.❤️

when my mother in-law comes in from Florida, she asks for Ford's. When we visited from Seattle, we loved it so much we had to take some brisket back home for the family. now I got two pounds left and wondering if I should share 🤔. We also met the owners and were shown some of that southern hospitality. Only thing I regret is not trying out the rest of the menu. Definitely one of my first stops when I come back. More...

loved the outside patio seating! Had barbeque plate with two sides. The Brunswick stew was good but potato salad wasn't. Ordered collard greens but were out. The place is worth another try. Very nice fast staff! More...

We were passing through this town & desided to check Ford's BBQ out today. We tried the cornbread waffle for a starter. That was amazing! Then we got the pit master cause it offered a little bit of it all. Everything was outstanding in taste. our 7 year old is extremely picky but sampled with us & even said the food was the best he's had. We will for sure be back & tell everyone we know, to stop by. Keep up all the amazing food & see y'all again soon! More...

Went today for Happy Hour to celebrate Margarita Day with a friend who was treating his customers to margaritas. He invited several people and was picking up the bill for all the drinks for an hour and a half.
The waitress was apparently very overwhelmed (she made it very clear). After 20 minutes waiting for our drinks we asked if we could order food and were ignored. It’s amazing how someone can walk by you several times to serve people at the next table and avoid eye contact at all cost. We finally got up to leave and she then came back and asked “Oh, did you want to order?”.
We said “No, you can forget about the drinks, we are leaving.” Her response “Oh, Ok. “ Very disappointed, was looking forward to trying the food.

We had a late lunch at Ford’s in Tucker today. The brisket, pork butt were delicious! We also enjoyed the jalapeño creamed corn, the Mac n’ cheese, green beans and vinegar slaw. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable. If you haven’t tried it, head on down to Ford’s! More...

I would like to review the food but after waiting for an hour then getting food that was still frozen (fries) We had to leave. Our waitress did the best she could but the kitchen failed her miserably. We weren't the only folks who left. Probably a great place for drinks but with a kitchen like that why bother offering a menu. More...

1st time trying. We were headed over to Hot Betty's Breakfast Kitchen and the smell of smoked bbq drew us into this place.
The food was AMAZING and plentiful. Hot and fresh! Tried the cornbread waffle yum😋 Large sides. The okra was served hot and crispy. The brisket, ribs and smoked Turkey were also good.
Strong drinks.

Walked into Fords BBQ and immediately felt warm and comfortable. Not sure if it’s the music, the food, the scent of Smokey BBQ, the margaritas or the friendly staff. But we plan to stay awhile today and come back often. More...

So excited to go try our local Ford's BBQ and what I was is disappointed! Extremely, First the service was lacking any personality. Then the frozen Margarita, well it was a frozen but where was the Margarita at?? Ok so now on to the meal, well the pork butt was good but the 4 choices of sauces not only completely sucked but where runny, you could put this in a squirt gun and shoot it at people! This is the south people thick yummy BBQ sauce is a MUST have! Beans, I chose the cowboy beans, my bad! No flavor or sauce just beans in some sort of broth, I think! Maybe buy some of the cowboy beans at Publics and serve that instead please. The worst was the Brunswick stew OMG, I love Brunswick stew and this was so sweet I actually tried to doctor it up with some spicy (what they called) bbq sauce to kill the candied stew and made it so much worse and I did not think you could! Please lay off the sugar in the stew! More...

The atmosphere was great, staff was great and food was great! I highly suggest the cornbread waffle. The only thing that was somewhat questionable was the temperature of the meat, wasn't particular warm but still enjoyable. Would return!

Ok, must have gone on a really bad night because the service was so slow and.it was not packed. We had a table of 9 and all of us got our food but 2 had to wait about 15 minutes after we got ours. Meat was cold but sides were warm. Then the internet went down and we waited for over 25 minutes to pay and they had no back up plan, never saw a manager, no communication. Hate to leave a negative review because the internet outage apparently effected the entire town but just needs a back up. More...

I’ve eaten a lot of bbq in my lifetime, and I can honestly say Ford’s BBQ has been the best I’ve eaten in a looooooong time! We had 6 wings with the dry rub with jalapeño ranch dip as an appetizer and they were amazing! My husband had the sliced turkey with the jalapeño creamed corn and fried okra. I had the pulled pork sandwich with the vinegar slaw and green beans. Each plate came with pickles and pickled onions. And then we shared banana pudding for dessert! Our waiter, Roy from Colorado, was very personable and friendly. You could tell he really enjoys being there. Overall, everything from the customer service to the food and the atmosphere was outstanding!!! I look forward to dining there again soon & regularly! P.S….. they now offer catering! More...

What a FANTASTIC place! If you're looking for big taste in a small downtown atmosphere, Ford's is the place to go!
On site smoke house, outdoor patio (with fans!
), Bar, unique dining decor inside (the booth seats are ACTUAL bench seats from a Ford truck)!
The food is better than awesome! Their ribs have the smoke ring you can see and cooked to perfection, without over bearing spices! The pulled pork has a unique, smoky flavor as well, and in my opinion, doesn't need much BBQ sauce! The smoked, cheese filled sausage was perfection! The sides we tried were the Cowboy Beans and the Queso Mac: oh my gosh! You will never eat Mac and Cheese the same, ever again! If you like ground peppery beans with bell peppers, the Cowboy Beans will definitely have you feeling like eating on the trail in the Old West!
Ford's offers their own BBQ sauces provided at each table and you can request a spicier one from the server as well!
We had the pleasure of being served by one of the actual cooks! It's great to offer these guys one on one compliments to their food!
We didn't have adult drinks on this visit, but the Banana Daiquiri sounded delicious that I'll try on my NEXT VISIT!
You guys, Rock! We will definitely be back for seconds, thirds, and so on!
