Exotic Que

My sister drove up from Florida and we both had limited time. She was staying with other family in Hiram and we live in Rome. Therefore, we chose this spot as a halfway point to meet and spend some time together. Absolutely fantastic! Wonderful little gem of a BBQ joint, located down a side street in Rockmart. A real added bonus that it is just down the road from a quaint little park, part of the Silver Comet Trail system, complete with gentle winding creek, with easy cement walking paths to an obvious favorite local swimming hole and nature preserve wildlife habitat area. We really enjoyed visiting this area as well after eating here. But back to this location - 😀 The food was excellent! The meat cooked and seasoned Exactly as you expect and deserve in a great bbq place! The fries were nice and the onion rings were precisely as I love them! Thick cut vidalia most likely, fried to absolute perfection! We tried the peach cobbler. It was quite tasty, but we would've preferred it served warm, under a thick dollop of their delicious vanilla ice cream. However, they probably would have been happy to oblige us, if we had but asked, as the staff were all very pleasant and personable! I love art and so I will always check out the art and decor of a place. So many interesting things on the walls inside and out here, but my absolute fav was the carousel horse hanging from the ceiling! They do have indoor seating, but the outdoor seating area is so very nice that we chose to sit there instead. Being that it was covered was a real plus on this quite warm 80s day! I would say the only drawback was the one unisex toilet. Please don't get me wrong. I'm all for unisex facilities, it was just that it was busy that day and having 2 restrooms would definitely help. However, I do understand sometimes space is limited and you work with what you got. Other than that one tiny issue, everything was absolutely divine. We also met two dogs of fellow diners, while eating outside under the pavilion area! As we are dog sitters and adore all dogs, this was an added bonus for sure! Thank you for making a great memory for us! Blessings and continued success to you!

Genuinely the best BBQ I've ever had. I have had plenty of barbeque over my 40 years. I think I've hit up just about every highly rated spot in the Atlanta area and there are plenty of good ones. Exotic Que is amazing and tops the list, in my opinion. We visited for the first time this weekend and were floored at the wonderful food. The pulled pork sandwiches were overflowing with goodness and added coleslaw was crunchy and complimented the 'wich nicely. Buns were delicious - buttered and toasted, 10/10. The fried pickles appeared to be homemade along with the potato salad - both were perfect. French fries were seasoned lightly and cooked to perfection. Exotic Que did everything right. You can tell a lot of love and effort goes into everything they do and make. The restaurant was clean and woman working the counter SUPER NICE. It's a great spot to relax outside and grab ice cream or one of their other deserts. We will 100% be visiting again...... probably this weekend since my wife asked where I wanted to go for Father's Day. Give it a shot and you won't be disappointed!
