Hard to mess up some que, but the stuff I got from that BBQ place outside of moundville on 69 was awful.

Any archibald's location in Tuscaloosa besides the original is awful. Same for dreamland. Both original spots are worth eating at still.

Just generally overall not that great bbq is full moon. Popular as hell, but the sauce is too sweet.

Dobb's in Dothan was friggin HORRIBLE! Tasted like it came out of a can and looked like mush. I can eat most "bad" BBQ, but not that pork that they served.

BBQ is overrated.

I’d rather have fresh gulf seafood, or authentic Cajun cuisine. That ain’t what you asked but I told you anyway 😀

Years and years ago there was a little bitty block building hole in the wall on the side of 231 in Wetumpka called Smokin’ S Bar-B-Q that was sure ‘nuff slap yo momma good. I doubt it’s there anymore, that place was almost directly across from where Wind Creek Stivo’s Hotel & Casino is built now.

Jim's in Billingsley is the best around.

There's not a whole lot of BBQ to chose from around here. Best BBQ sammich is Wilsons in Albertville or Simmons in G'ville. Worst ribs, with run away victory is Wilsons in Albertville, unless you really like boiled ribs with BBQ sauce on them. Probably our best bang for our buck in Albertville is Local Joes. Never had a bad meal there.

Barry's BBQ is good, just gotta drive to Sardis or Rainsville to eat it.

The red food truck/trailer in Snowdoun right off 331 across from the gas station has some mighty fine bbq and cheeseburgers. Ate there many times and its always good.

I know a place in Brooksville Fl. and Chesapeake Va. that will flat out bend your curve on what you think is good BBQ is.

What is this place In Brooksville you speak of?

Jim's is hands down the best BBQ in the world. Case closed.

You probably drive a F250 gas burner, thinking like that.


A) you are incorrect in your assessment of my choice of vehicular transportation

B) I was stating a fact, not asking others' opinion. It wasn't up for debate.


You think brisket isn’t BBQ, so as a matter of fact you’re an absolute Gomer. Not debatable. Stupid.

Agree on both.

Best ribs are at Sam’s smokehouse in Fayette.

I haven't seen this one mentioned but I think y'all oughta give him a shot if you're in Bham- Rodney Scott's. The sauce ain't my favorite, but I like BBQ to stand on it's own merit and his sure does a bang up job in my book.
Saw's is good too. My favorite is a toss up between R&R in Odenville and The Shack (between Pell City and Talladega on Stemley).

It's still there. I was in there just a few weeks ago. They do have really good burgers but their BBQ is hardly worth a mention.
Just average at best.

I second the greentop vote. Also add dreamland to suck list


30 years ago I would say Greentop was great. Last time I tried to eat there I left it and hit a drive through.

LO Bishop fresh off the pit is dang good. Hickory smoked is what you taste complimenting the meat. We get it packed from Foodland and is good. Pit BBQ is better with hickory smoke and nothing else besides salt to help hold the moisture.
