Favorite BBQ Eatery

[alabama mike1]

Where do you like to go for BBQ?

When I come home to Alabama next week, I will make it a point to get some Bunyan's BBQ to eat.

I think a BBQ 'eatery' is called a 'joint', 'place' or even 'restaurant'.

I used to love Johnny Rays in Homewood. Not even sure if its still there. I also like that place on 82 between Montgomery and Tuscaloosa.

No, it's not. The owner (John C.) closed it and sold the building. It's now a Mexican bar/restaurant.

It's no longer there, but my wife and I used to be regulars at the Johnny Ray's on Highway 31 in Vestavia.

I like P. Reds in Atlanta. not exactly my favorite place, but it is close to my current job and it is better than Fat Matt's which is also close to work.

any Atlanta people know a good place near buckhead?

It is gone also. The same man that owned the one in Homewood owned, and sold, the one in Vestavia as well. I don't recall the exact type of business that is there now, but I don't think it's a restaurant.

Saw's Soul Kitchen or the original in Homewood. At the Soul Kitchen, there's the famous Pork, Greens and Grits.

Top Hat isn't what it used to be, but it's good.

Big Daddy's in Warrior is widly underrated - don't sleep on it.

I'll be honest - when Jim and Nick's is on, it's great. Had takeout from there yesterday and it was fantastic. The company's community involvement is great, too. Same for Full Moon.

To Hat was good, so was the place in Warrior. I love the original Saw's bbq chicken.

They serve it at the Juke Joint also.

Love The Shed in Ocean Springs -- haven't been to the new one -- have been to the one that burned down a while back -- it was a little dingy -- not sure the Health Dept would have approved, but the food was pretty awesome.

The original location, just off Greensprings on Valley was torn down maybe a year ago.

One in Mobile sucked...you couldn't tell what you were eating, it all tasted the same...I mean it ALL tasted the same; beans, potato salad, chicken, ribs, pork...might as well have put it all in a blender. Glad it closed.
Never been to the one in OS. But the best BBQ in Mobile was always Rodger's (I think technically one of them is in Prichard, and the other in Chickasaw or Saraland).

I enjoy SAW in Homewood.

There is a gas station in Pell City that smokes bbq by the side of the store, right off US231. They have a sign on I20 advertising Butts To Go. I really like their bbq. Their smoked chicken wings are dang good too.

Dreamland & Archibald's for history's sake when we get over to TTown; Stonewall's here in Hburg for good 'cue.

We had a Shed branch up here in H'burg for a while (we're about an hour north of Ocean Springs.) I rated it as OK just because it was BBQ. I find the Shed's food very overrated (true of the original too imo.)
