Stopped by this place after passing it too many times. We ordered the pulled pork sandwich with Mac & cheese, a half rack of hickory ribs, and banana pudding. We also ordered each of their sauces, three total. The pulled pork was amazing, tender and with good taste especially with the peach sauce. The max & cheese tasted homemade and probably was some of the best I've had since moving south. Now the ribs were the best, could eat those all the time. They don't even need extra sauces. Banana pudding are usually a hit or miss this one was a hit, with great texture to it. read more

Best bbq in Alabama! The ribs are heavenly. Don't even need sauce. Banana pudding is also very good! Pulled pork has excellent taste and is never dry. read more

The BBQ Stop is the best BBQ place I have ever been too. Their homemade sauces are perfect. Honey mustard is my favorite. Their peanut butter pie is to die for. All of the employees are so nice and helpful every time I go in there. They also support other local companies in the area - one of the companies I work for and we couldn't ask for better support. Thank you BBQ Stop for be so amazing! I can't get enough of your food!! read more

I've passed this stop so many times and finally decided to give it a try. Thank God I was not disappointed. I ordered a pull pork sandwich from this place OMG it was so good and the pork was very tender. I love how they toasted the bun. I will definitely be back read more

Great food and quickly! Try the pulled pork, their burgers and much more. We go there quite often!!

I have gotten food here numerous times. The food is always good, but they consistently get the to-go orders wrong. I have gotten home before and did not have ANY sauce. Last visit they left out one of the sides. So I say go but always check your order before you leave! read more

Outstanding ribs get them dry and sauce on side Outstanding smoked chicken wings and pulled chicken Hamburgers are great big as a hub cap The shining star may be the Brisket and mac and cheese with green beans read more

I was disappointed that I ordered a rib plate but was served shredded pork. I was told when I got home and called that I should have said 4 bones. The menu has option for a rib plate ( 4) bones so I ordered a rib plate. This was my first time going there so how would I know the unwritten rules. Any rib place I've been rib plate is with bones not shredded. read more

The best, freshest barbecue in the area. The meat is nice and tender, not dried out and burned. It's flavored so well you don't even need barbecue sauce. It's worth mentioning though this place has award winning sauce. Their going to ask you which sauce you want. Just tell them you want them ALL because you really have to try them all. They are wonderful. Put the sauce on your fries or onion rings. Good stuff. read more

This is one of my favorite places to spend time with my family. The food is always delicious, and the service is superb. If you are looking for a spot to bring the kids this is the perfect place! They offer a variety of foods such as ribs, beef brisket, chicken, loaded potatoes, and salads...trust me you will not be disappointed! read more

We are BBQ people. We constantly randomly Google "best BBQ" and driving there. That's how we found ourself driving an hour today just to eat at this place. My husband was craving brisket so I Googled "best brisket in Birmingham" and this place came up. Pros... -The service was fantastic. Like almost on the verge of annoying how much they check on you and talk to you. -The BBQ sauces were fantastic! We sampled them all. -The smoked wings may have been the best wings I've ever had. They were crispy on the outside and moist and smoked on the inside. -The brisket was delicious and sliced just right. -The ribs I loved. They were fall off the bone tender and needed no sauce the dry rub was perfect. My husband said they were to tender and needed more pull. Cons... -The sides. The Mac and cheese was terrible. It had no cheese flavor and was almost white. The onion rings are just standard frozen onion rings. The potato salad was ok. It's a mayo dill recipe rather than a southern recipe. -The bathroom. Make sure you "go" before you go. You literally have to walk through the kitchen to go to the restroom. It's in the kitchen. Like there was a man making banana pudding 3 ft from the bathroom. If you're in the area give it a try but it's nothing worth driving out of the way for. read more

If you haven't tried this place you need to NOW! OMG, this food is stunningly good! No joke I wish I could give 6 stars! read more

Love the people...love the food! Only flaw is it's a family business, so hours are inconsistent; but I'd rather support a family business with inconsistent hours than a corporate store with inconsistent food and service! Highly recommend!! read more

Barbecue Stop - Barbeque Near Me - Pinson, Alabama

Outside of Birmingham in the town of Clay, is a BBQ place worth stopping by. The BBQ stop sits like 10 people plus can sit some outside. My entree today was pork and rib plate with beans and slaw. The pork has some kind of rub to it and I liked it better than the ribs. For the most part, the pork was moist and tender but had a few dry parts to it. The ribs were ok. However, the beans and slaw were wonderful. The beans seemed like they were made from one of the sauces and we're spicy. The slaw was cut fine and mayo-base. On a past visit, I had potato salad and mac and cheese. Neither was anywhere close to good as the beans and slaw. The best part of the BBQ stop was the 6 homemade BBQ sauces. Their main BBQ sauce is called Southern Peach and it is wonderful! This is a great sauce with a hint of sweetness and there will never be another place that has a sauce like it. The other sauces are a Hickory version of the Southern Peach, a fantastic Carolina Vinegar sauce that is not runny at all, a hotter version of it, a white sauce, and a Texas Hot. The service was really nice and sweet tea was a little too peachy for me. If you love BBQ sauces, The BBQ stop is perfect for you. The pork was pretty good and the ribs are all right, but the sauces are what's worth coming for. read more

This is a family favorite! I love out of town but my parents are still in Clay near the BBQ stop and love the food there. My parents really like the brisket, when I'm here I enjoy the pork sandwiches. Clay is so lucky to have this local delicious BBQ stop! read more

This is a great place! The food is always hot and the decent prices too. Nice worker also

The food is awesome! The best BBQ I have had in 23 years. Wonderful customer service; they welcomed this Yankee with open arms and filled my belly with food made with love! Thank you... read more

Great food. Great employees. Great service. I think that about covers this restaurant. I highly recommend this place.

Still a great place with excellent food....tea is great...stuffed potatoes are loaded down with alot of meat! This place hasn't let me down yet.... read more

The staff is super sweet, the food is amazing, and the turnaround was really fast. I thought this might be a bad decision when my co-workers showed me their prices, because they were extremely cheap, but I would've paid the times as much for the food we got. High quality, great taste, and you can taste the homemade love that goes into their food. read more

I live in Atlanta,Ga I swear these ribs are well worth the 2 hour drive hands downs!!! Best ribs I've had in a long long time

A great place to get great BBQ. They have a fantastic pork sandwich - I prefer the Jumbo! Several BBQ sauce choices are available but I like the Hickory Heaven best. And they have really great fries. Seating is limited but they do have covered outdoor seating that is more than adequate. read more

I love eating here The people are so friendly and make your meal fast perfect for when I don't feel like cooking ha ha The banana pudding is delicious I am completely obsessed with the onion rings and the special onion ring sauce I would definitely recommend this place! read more

This place is great! The food is fantastic and the service is really good. The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because the prices are pretty high. The cheeseburger was amazing, but it was literally the most expensive cheeseburger I've ever had. read more

Service was exceptional - made us feel like family. My kids (from teen down to toddler) were making comments like "this is so much better than dreamland" and "these are the best ribs I've ever had." Worth your time to stop by here. read more

Got the pork family meal for my family of 4 for about $20. It was absolutely delicious and we even had food left over for lunch the next day. The green beans were well seasoned as was the Mac n Cheese. This will definitely become a regular stop for us. read more

My first visit and will be back! Great, juicy, delicious ribs! Baked beans also very good. Corn bread muffins a bit dry, but will give them another try. read more

Anytime we start craving bbq, this is where we come. It's always fantastic! Pulled pork is always perfect - juicy & so flavorful that sauce isn't really needed but I've become addicted to their Southern Peach sauce. Yummy! My hubs won't get ribs anywhere else. He says they're the best he's ever had. We've also gotten burgers there and now they are my gold standard for burgers too. The mac & cheese is excellent! Some of the best I've eaten out. Fries, green beans, baked beans, baked potatoes, & salads are all great, too! If you're in the area (or even a short ride away), TRY this place! There is a reason they have so many trophies from the competitions they do all over the country. The only problem is their food is addictive and you'll crave it often! read more

Always great friendly service and great food. Just call before you go, they close often for BBQ competition. It is a pain in the butt to drive there and they are closed. read more

Best BBQ in Bham metro! We love this place!! Our fave sauce hands down is the Southern Peach. We love the white sauce for fries. The bbq burger is my go-to (pulled pork atop a burger patty w shredded cheddar). Hubs loves the sandwich w gouda- I cant remember what it's called. The fries are delicious too. We come here often w friends and they love the ribs and the pulled pork sand. Highly recommend - not fancy but absolutely delicious!! read more

This is the location of the old Legends BBQ, and maybe I'm just disappointed that Barbecue Stop isn't Legends, but I was quite disappointed. They have so many sauce options that are nearly the same. I've been a half dozen times, and will continue to go when I want lack-luster "meh" barbecue. read more

We had the brisket and pulled pork. Both were very good. The meat was well seasoned and tender. We will go back.

This is not a good BBQ place. Now I will say that I haven't tried the ribs and that does seem to be what they are getting the best reviews on. That being said the pork and chicken that my wife and I shared were reheated dry left overs so that is why we haveca bad opinion of the Stop. read more

My family and I have enjoyed everything that we have had from there. Ribs that fall off the bone, chicken wings that full of flavor to hamburgers that are juicy and filling. All of the meat has flavor even without sauce. The sides are very good personal favorite is Mac and cheese never have had the green beans though. The sauces are homemade nothing from the bottle. There are 5 to choose from but I like to mix a couple of them for a personal flavor. read more

Great little BBQ spot. Lots of drive thru traffic and limited seating for dine in. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. Had dry rub ribs with peach BBQ sauce on the side. Very good! Will definitely go again. read more
