Tom, Dick & Hank

Tom, Dick, & Hank in College Park, has more takeout traffic than 285. But it’s a different scene inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and unbothered with a few small booths that usually fill up with friends and families passing around crunchy catfish bites and sides like sweet baked beans.

During the summer and spring, the big enclosed patio is the place to be—because sticky spare ribs taste better when devoured in the open air. But whether you're scooping up takeout, dining inside, or out, you're here for the top-notch BBQ and solid soul food dishes. The smoked wings are among the best in Atlanta, and when you’re not in the mood for something off the BBQ grill like the incredible smoked turkey leg, try the crispy whiting sandwich.

Smoked Wings

Few places in ATL do smoked wings as well as Tom, Dick, & Hank. They’re crispy and flavored down to the bone—order them with their signature dry rub, which tastes a lot like lemon pepper, just without quite as much citrus kick.

Turkey Leg

This is a must-get on the menu. It tastes like it’s been seasoned in pastrami spices.

Cornbread Muffin

These muffins are cloud-soft, buttery, thick, and almost cake-sweet. They’re in the top spot on our cornbread power rankings for a reason.

Turkey Burger

The burger is fine. It comes with a soft bun and is stacked with lettuce, tomatoes, red onion, and pickles, but there are better things on the menu.

Catfish Bites

These are crunchy and well-seasoned.

Whiting Sandwich

A worthy order, the whiting is flavorful and crisp.

Peach Cobbler

It comes with a soft layer of crust, and the peaches are drenched in a cinnamony sauce. This is a great cobbler.
