Anyone have a good local retailer in the Atlanta area for rubs, sauces and other things BBQ? Preferably midtown to the southside, but anywhere else is fine.
Thanks!

Place to buy Rubs in Atlanta
Honestly the selection is pretty poor in Atlanta, I pretty much get all my rubs and sauces via mail order. You can usually find Bone Suckin' Sauce at Whole Foods, but beyond that I can't help you.
Many of our own Brethren sell versions of their rubs and sauces, and they are better than anything you'd find at a store in Atlanta. Check out the "Brethren Sales and Ventures" section of this forum:

Another good mail order source is the Kansas City BBQ Store, they pretty much have everything:

Maybe some other Atlanta area Brethren can chip in with local sources, but I pretty much get all my stuff via mail. Expensive to ship but I haven't found a good local source.
Southern Pool and Patio in McDonough carries JOS, Dizzy Pig, Butt Rub, etc. Also a BGE dealer. I've been at Myron's when Faye was filling their order and they buy in pretty good quantity, so they are turning over their inventory often which means the spices you buy there should be fresh.
They are outside the Perimeter, but definitely southside.

You might also try Whole Foods (AKA Harry's) they seem to have quite a lot, but you aren't gonna find Plowboys etc.
Also Findley's Butcher shop on 41 in Acworth has some pretty good rubs he makes up. He is a multi-time Houston Livestock BBQ winner so he knows his stuff too!
Well, I went ahead and ordered some Plowboy's (both Yardbird and Bovine Bold) from Great Lakes. But am still interesting in finding a good local source to cut out the shipping costs (though Great Lakes is very reasonable).
American Backyards in Alpharetta carries assorted Rubs and a few other brands. Their website is being updated, here's the contact info:
955 Point Dr, Alpharetta GA. 30022 770-754-5750
Depends on wether you're looking for a happy ending or not:-D
