Pruett's in Gadsden is a staple. They used to have $1 sandwiches with a 10 sandwich limit per person. Now it's $1.50 a sandwich. They are some count.... but Gadsden ain't got any other real bbq joints. They got the market cornered.
We have had some really good meals there. I went once on a Saturday afternoon and got their ribs and they were some of the best I have had. I didn't even use any sauce on them. Not fall off the bone, but pull off the bone. Cooked to perfection. All their other food is pretty good too.
Down the road several miles on 411 ( Rainbow Dr. ) past Southside there is another joint called Local Joes. There are a few locations but the original is best. They have some really good smoked Turkey.
