I am not a big food junkie but the best ribs around this area in my opinion come from The Pig Stand in Hartselle, Hwy 31 next to the Ford place... I guess their other food is good also as my daughter always gets the chicken, I am just partial to their ribs!

Best ribs I have eaten recently are from Sams Sports Bar on the Beltline in Decatur. I don't know what they do but I wish I could do that at home. Only place I ever been that I thought could beat mine.

Get a fried pie while you are there!

Allsteak is still around. It moved. I have not eaten there is about 10 years. It was never the same once they moved.

I have always thought Johnny's was overrated. There sauce is just runny catsoup.

My favorite is Jim's BBQ on hwy. 82. I guess it would be close to the Billingsley community in Autauga county. I order a big Jim pulled pork sandwich and fries and their sweet tea is the best.

I also second the Hickory Chip in Clanton they just have good everything.

Pikeville Burger is about as good as a burger gets.

Good menu all round. BBQ is better than average, but the fish is really good. They are famouse for their slaw.

You can pull the boat up to the dock and eat supper.

Good burger and fries type joint. Jalape�o burger is awesome and they have good sandwiches.

Country cabin, Hightogy, Al. The best catfish you will find anywhere. Very close to Vernon.
Jays country squire, Sulligent, Al. Can't go wrong with anything from here. Specialize in steaks but I would recommend most anything. Steaks are good but I'm very picky on steaks so I'm gonna say average on that, but overall very good.

I've heard decent reviews on ChuckWagon BBQ in Madison but have not tried it.

Anyone have firsthand experience with this place? I'm told their brisket is good. I'm always leery of brisket because too often it's dried out. Just curious.

It went way downhill after the move. The prime rib is not near as good as it used to be. They still have orange rolls and they are awesome.

Rumors Deli in Cullman is a great lunch spot(only open for lunch). It's located in the Warehouse district by the farmers market. All kinds of sandwiches. I have never had one I didn't like so you can't go wrong.

Cullman has some ok places but nothing to really get excited about or at least for me. Brickyard cuts a jam up steak if anybody is ever passing through. Just a couple of miles off 65 at the 308 exit.

Black Rock Bistro in Jasper is one of my favorite places to eat. I have had everything from snapper throats to steak and it has all been good. I think it's on 18/19 street and I would recommend a reservation on the weekend. I think the chef cooked at highlands or bottega in Bham.

Great call on Black Rock Bistro in Jasper. The chefs did, indeed, work in B'ham on the line at two top restaurants, got married and then went to New Orleans.

They had to evacuate for Katrina and jaunted to Jasper where one of them had relatives. After returning to N.O. and seeing the devastation, they figured why not open a restaurant there, do the local sourcing for meat and veggies, and it's been a success. Their pork is raised by them on scraps from the restaurant (unless they've changed their method). They also get fresh fish and seafood shipped in depending on what they can source at a good price.

If you're ever in Oneonta try O-So-Good BBQ. They have good ribs and loaded potatoes.
It's just out of town on Highway 231 North.

Charlie B's in Oneonta is also good. It's a meat and three. It's in the old Round The Clock building on 231 South.

Since Oneonta went wet last year several of the old downtown buildings are being renovated and are going to be restaurants with live bands. Some of the Baptist aren't happy about it!

Hamburger King in Montgomery, one of the best burgers you will ever eat. Also have set up at Sikes and Kohns Mall.

Greenbriar Barbeque in Madison. Not the one by the I565, the one at the crossroads. Great catfish, shrimp and barbeque and the little hush puppies with white barbeque sauce.

Kowliga, Lake Martin. Great fried catfish and the Conecuh sausage appetizer is really good.

Half Shell in Mobile on Airport road. All good.

Cant remember the name but in downtown Huntsville, there is a meat and three that has the best damn hot dogs around. Usually buy a gallon when up there and bring it home. When it cools, you can skim about a cup of grease off the top of the jugs. They are slap your mama good hot dogs.

Wildflower in Mentone. mighty fine hamburgers and great tomato pie.

It is the best burger I have ever eaten!

Back when I worked up on Sand Mountain, Catfish Cabin was really good. Is is still good, or is Top o The River better?

Is the Chief in Glenco still good or has it dropped off? I remember many a good burger and shake from there back in the day.

A very good Cajun restaurant is Crazy Cajun's south of Birmingham on 280 at the corner of Valleydale Rd. Do yourself and your girlfriend a favor and split a Lulu's Platter in addition to a full order or Royal Red shrimp. All that, plus a few cold ones and an appetizer will run you $60. Worth every penny.
No lunch specials. One menu. Closed Sunday.

I really like Rib It Up on the western edge of downtown Birmingham. Great barbeque and soul food.

Had it for the first time a couple weeks ago. The chuck wagon sandwich (brisket and sausage) is great. I'd definitely recommend it. Little place stays packed around lunch. Also had Crickets right down the road a couple of times, their wing special is the best I've had in awhile.
