Now that they have a storefront on hwy 280 (in the shopping center with Krispy Kreme), they are more easily accessible. The store is set up like a tasting room. You get a personalized tasting experience as someone guides you through and allows you to taste the variety of oils and vinegars. Therefore, You know exactly what you are buying.

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting Golden Rule BBQ & Grill, located at 2504 Crestwood Blvd in…read moreIrondale, Alabama. While I had initially planned to visit next Friday for a particular occasion, my desire for some exceptional BBQ led me there sooner. My family has been patrons of Golden Rule since the 1970s. This establishment has a rich history, having been in business since 1891, originally under the ownership of the Williams family and the Stones. In 1969, Golden Rule was acquired by Michael Matsos, a local restaurateur from Birmingham. Mr. Matsos commendably preserved the Williams' family recipes and the high standards of their outstanding BBQ. However, in 2022, Golden Rule was sold to Brian Kemp of Kemp's Kitchen, another local figure with several (now closed) establishments in the Birmingham area. Mr. Kemp acknowledged his limited knowledge of BBQ but pledged to maintain Golden Rule in its 131-year-old tradition. Upon my arrival, I noticed the spacious parking lot, which was not overly crowded, as it was after the usual churchgoers' rush. As I approached the entrance, I passed a window sign proudly proclaiming "Birmingham's Best BBQ." I observed several individuals within close proximity as I entered, and I noticed that no one offered a greeting, which was a minor detail. I then made my way to my preferred table, the one my father and I always shared when he would call and suggest meeting at Golden Rule. The traditional book-style menus have been replaced with a more streamlined placemat-style menu. This was not an issue, as I already knew what I wished to order. Anna, my server, provided exceptional service throughout my visit. She promptly took my drink order, ensured my tea glass remained full, and was attentive to all my needs, even while managing two tables each with eight guests. Anna did a truly wonderful job. As I waited, I reflected that this was typically a place where I wouldn't need to comment on the absence of the legendary Alabama BBQ figure, the picture of The Bear. Golden Rule has always been adorned with numerous framed sports moments and memorabilia from various state teams on its walls. However, upon looking up, I noticed they were no longer there. Approximately 95% of the sports pictures are gone. The walls are largely bare, and the remaining pictures appear to be hung without any particular arrangement, suggesting that the others were simply removed from around them. I have dined here several times since the sale to Mr. Kemp, but my research indicated that family members had come in to retrieve their pictures from the walls. The establishment now has a rather stark appearance. It would be beneficial to address this. Golden Rule offers a diverse selection of meat choices, including pork BBQ sandwiches, pulled pork plates, chicken, brisket, baby back ribs, and sausage. They also feature hamburger steak, chicken tenders, and on Fridays, catfish. Additionally, soup and salads are available. With a wide array of side dishes such as green beans, baked beans, corn on the cob, slaw, chips, and fries, you are sure to find something to your liking. Dessert options include pies, cake, and cookies. My order arrived on a metal tray, which is the traditional and appropriate way to serve BBQ. I selected the jumbo pulled pork plate with a double portion of fries (a preference of mine). It looked incredibly appetizing. I would advise bringing a hearty appetite if you choose the jumbo plate, as it is quite substantial. I immediately noticed a difference in the cooking process compared to previous occasions; the meat was noticeably less coarse and dry. Previously, I often needed a knife to cut the slices, but this time it was incredibly tender, practically falling off the fork, which was truly delightful. It was some of the finest barbecue I have ever tasted. When topped with their vinegar-based sauce, it becomes absolutely irresistible. The fries are clearly cut from real potatoes and are served in generous portions. Overall, the value offered by this barbecue restaurant is exceptional. A jumbo plate of meat, fries, and sweet tea for under $20 is an offer that is difficult to surpass. Despite some changes, Golden Rule remains one of the best barbecue establishments in the area. It comes highly recommended. 5/5 -Kevin

I had the small sliced brisket plate with baked beans and coleslaw. The sides were good but the brisket was the star! It also came with an obnoxious piece of bbq bread. I didn't eat it at all. Trashed it , actually. I also had a banana pudding. I spent nearly $30 on this meal. The service was prompt and friendly. It didn't take long for me to get my to- go order. The ambiance is pretty casual and a traditional bbq restaurant feel. I can't stop thinking about the brisket! It's delicious & I highly recommend!
