We each had the turkey plate, so turkey slices and two sides each, and a "roll" which was so tiny it was almost funny, but it was hard. The dressing was fine--Not exceptional but also not awful. Our sides included green beans which made me remember my public school lunchroom. Skip those ! Be aware too that you can call and order for pickup but if you do, and your order isn't ready when you arrive, YOU must check at the SIDE counter and request that someone frequently check "call ins" --which are kept UNDER the counter (you can't get them yourself). And while the counter staff call out people's names for patrons who are sitting at tables to come and get their trays, the staff does NOT call out your name for pickups! We waited an extra 30 mins on our food -- trying not to be rude and ask. I'm glad I finally asked !! I've stopped at a few other places in this town coming through or home from the beach, and Bates is the cleanest. IF I try again, I will try the turkey sandwich.

BBQ is a gem of the American countryside dining. Partially, because the only other alternative is…read moretypically fast food. But, that would not be a fair description of this tradition: BBQ is an incredible style of cooking and spots like this represent this tradition well. BBQ 65 is conveniently located right off the interstate in a gas station in a saloon like building that has a beautiful character from the outside. Open since 2010s, this spot has started to earn its place in the BBQ world, albeit being newer to it. There is an indoor seating inside near the gas station shop aisles. The ribs are cooked well with a nice wood profile, but neither very delicate nor particularly notable for their flavor of the meat itself, with smoke notes dominating. The quality of pork itself and the slightly tougher preparation could be better to rival Alabama's best. The BBQ sauce is loaded up with vinegar, completely overpowering the meat if consumed together, although to be fair, this may be a matter of preference for some BBQ lovers. The star of the show is potato salad which was perfectly balanced on its acidity, sweetness and overall flavor. As a whole, BBQ 65 is a pleasant stop to experience some traditional southern cooking and support a local business instead of tossing money into another "by the exit" fast food chain.

I needed to see the menu to see what size chicken finger options there were. I wasn't super sure what I wanted and the visual of the menu does help me, but sadly I just ordered randomly because of the set up. As soon as I pulled around the corner, the other staff member had all my things ready. Didn't even get a chance to look in the bag and make sure I had everything, so I had to pull into a parking spot and look. The parking lot can be a lot to get out of if you park by the entrance.

When I did, the board wasn't working. The employee then told me I would need to drive around and come back to the order stand, which would have put me behind several customers who had arrived after me. I went to the window and spoke with the assistant manager, who told me the menu board wasn't going to be fixed tonight and that they couldn't take my order at the window either. I asked for the general manager's contact information, and they told me she didn't have a business phone or email--only personal contact information that couldn't be given out. At that point I expressed that the situation was ridiculous, and the assistant manager sarcastically agreed. I ended up leaving without ordering. Very disappointing experience and poor customer service.
