Sam's BBQ in Montgomery is great. I always get the combo plate. Chopped pork topped with medallions of smoked sausage and side of shoestring fries with a sweet tea.
Smokin' S in Wetumpka is also great.
Sweet Creek Farmer's market on Hwy. 231 just south of Montgomery has fantastic ribs. Best ones locally IMO. No sauce needed but I dab just a spec on there for a little extra pop.
Used to love Twix-n-Tween in Centerville back in the day but haven't been there in years so don't know what's up there anymore.

Rendezvous in Memphis was nothing to write home about.
Best thing about Johnny Ray's was the lemon pie. Way better than the BBQ.
