Though his assessment is based only on one takeout container, AJC food critic John Kessler echos a couple recent comments here calling Community Q BBQ “some of the best barbecue I’ve eaten in Atlanta.”

And lucky for Decaturites, it’s just a quick ride up Clairemont to Clairmont in the former Epicurian catering space!

As Chowhound points out in a comment, the AJC’s Meridith Ford Goldman reports that “David Roberts, one-third of the triumvirate that was the original Sam & Dave’s in Marietta, is opening his own ‘cue joint, Community BBQ, in the old Epicurean space on Clairmont Road in Decatur.”  (That’s the restaurant strip across from the Gables apartments on Clairmont)

From Goldman’s post, it sounds like Roberts is just about ready to open.  Click over for a few menu details for the owner and plans for the future.
