Pitmasters and owners of Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q, Jonathan and Justin Fox, announce plans for a third location of their award-winning barbecue brand. Located in Brookhaven Station at 4058 Peachtree Road, this location will feature a selection of the brothers’ signature style of smoked meats alongside a Tex-Mex barbecue menu, with ample outdoor seating, and plenty of ice-cold beverages.

The brothers began their careers in barbecue throwing backyard parties for their friends after relocating to Atlanta from Fort Worth, Texas. Backyard parties grew into catering, a pop-up at Smith’s Olde Bar, to building the must-visit original location 14 years ago on Dekalb Avenue.  In 2016, Fox Bros. Catering expanded to a commissary facility in Armor Yards (134 Ottley Drive) in order to fulfill demand. Pre-pandemic, the original restaurant served up to 1200 guests a day with their smokin’ ATL-style of barbecue, classic southern sides and homemade desserts in addition to feeding hungry fans at Mercedes-Benz Stadium and Truist Park. The highly anticipated 9,300 square feet location of Fox Bros. Bar-B-Q at The Works will open in summer 2021.

“When my brother and I started cooking barbecue, we did so in our backyard in Brookhaven, and we’re excited about the opportunity to return to the neighborhood,” says co-owner and pitmaster, Jonathan Fox. “We’ve learned a lot over the past year and with this location, we want to highlight elements of classic Texas barbecue culture and the flavors that we grew up with.”

While plans for the restaurant space are in the initial development phase, early discussions have included an open-air feel that stretches from the kitchen to the outdoor space and an easy, to-go pickup window.  The Brookhaven location looks to provide a family-friendly gathering spot that offers hot food, cold drinks, and plenty of community, inspired by the classic Texas icehouses that the brothers grew up with.
