Well, after a long day and a beautiful skies with lots of traffic, we arrived. And the jury is in after a very brief deliberation. Smells like barbecue. Looks like barbecue. The end....well, let's not be too hasty. For locals, the jury seems to say thumbs up, but for us the thumbs are mostly horizontal or down. Plenty of parking. Delightful smoky aroma surrounds the building and continues inside this rustic-looking building (painted battleship gray on the outside...but cabinesque inside. Orderd at the counter...and prompt service followed. The pulled chicken had a lightly smoked flavor that I enjoyed, but that was it...it was simply too dry. The pulled pork was similarly dry and even the addition of what I assumed was house -made sauce (ketchup-vinegar--devoid of spices) didn't help. (Caveat - we got there near the end of the day, so maybe the meats sat in the warmer/smoker too long? If so, our bad.) A skinny, crispy-skinned sausage was the star for me. I asked the host what kind it was (assuming it might be Conecuh. But she couldn't tell me who made it except "some company in Andalusia." Nevertheless, nameless as it was, the sausage was definitely the best thing on the plate. Baked beans looked good - thick with lots of little strands of meat (I think) but lacking any distinctive flavor. Collard greens were tender but lo-taste as well. Slaw was really chunky - not shredded - and lackluster. Mac and cheese was good...(and ended up being the only thing my wife finished on the plate.) Three draft beers on tap. Well, that is, three taps but only one beer to sell - Genessee Light. I watched as the bartender poured it, but it had so much head, he actually had to spoon the foam repeatedly off the top before he got a glassful. Cold but .....well, just cold. Finally as a parting observation. At least two different ketchups on the tables: Del Monte & some generic or food service brand like White House (couldnot read the label). Other add-on sauces? One bottle at the cash register of PF Chang's pepper sauce...and one bottle of chipotle hot sauce with a green label. The contents were so dark I couldn't tell what it was. I tried the Trappey's pepper vinegar and it too was well.... let's just say that's all for tonight. Please give Bush's BBQ a try....I'm only one reviewer and you might fare better. read more

Tried this place a few times and can report that it's both delicious and consistent. Huge portions. If you order a plate, there will be leftovers. I've tried the chicken, the pulled pork and the smoked conecuh sausage and I can never decide which to get, so typically I'll just get the 3 meat plate, order all of them, and take a ton of leftovers to munch on the next day. The meats are good enough that you don't need to drown them in sauce. The people are super friendly and accommodating. The place is clean and has plenty of seating as well as a drive thru in case you want to call it in and pick it up in a hurry. Overall a solid spot that won't disappoint. If you're in the area and considering it, go ahead and give them a try. read more

We stop to have lunch and was very disappointed in the food . The sauce had a plastic like taste and the ketchup for the fries was nasty tasting it was in plastic bottle and was very off putting. The Bbq pork seemed like it was kept in a steamer and was watery. We drank our tea and left the food uneaten. The young lady was very nice but was busy working the front and the drive thru. I'm hoping we just caught them on a bad day but it was a terrible experience. read more

The food wasn't great but it may have been because it was cold. They input our order as a phone order and it sat on the counter. After several people were served after we arrived I inquired about our order. We received it in the togo boxes and it was barely warm. Mistakes happen but it's what a business does to correct mistakes. Our order should have been re-made and served to us hot. read more

Stopped by on a whim while driving home from vacation and really enjoyed it. I got the pulled chicken with cole slaw and macaroni and cheese, all were tasty. The macaroni and cheese was very very good. The only thing that could have made it better for this North Alabama girl was if there were white sauce for the chicken. read more

Delicious and cheap and fast! my husband was craving some real southern BBQ on our way from Ohio to Destin beach. This place was right on the small highway and we just pulled over on a whim. So so good. Pulled chicken sandwich was bigger than any one person could eat. Ribs were great. Pork was awesome and so were greens. People were nice and it was just kind of quiet and old-timey. Definite score. read more

A must stop and eat location. The small town hidden gem is a must. The bbq was great and very well priced. The folks here were very nice and felt like a familiar place. It's cozy. The ribs are made to perfection soft and moist. It's no Texas bbq but was still great. read more

Worth the drive from Montgomery. Absolutely phenomenal food. The pulled pork melts in your mouth, and the ribs are everything you could want from a bbq joint. Without a doubt, the best bbq I have had in years. One of the people I was with ordered the rib-eye special, and the steak looked phenomenal. Super friendly staff as well read more

This was a great choice for a quick and delicious lunch on our way home from the beach. My family of 5 enjoyed the BBQ salad, pork plate, pork sandwich, and chicken fingers.

Did not like, not good at all. Beans were horrible, I guess I'm used to more flavor or something but that wasn't it. Didn't like the bbq either, just my opinion. Service was good though. Tea was nasty, & you know us southern girls loveee SWEET tea. read more

Absolutely loved this place. When I left my mouth was popping with spice. From the hospitality of the owner to the sidea and the best pulled pork I've ever had, it was all great. I had pulled pork, mac and cheese and potato salad. I don't know what they put in that potato salad but there was something unique about it. Also try the spicy bbq sauce. My only complaint is its 3 hours from my house lol Good job. Mr Bush. read more

This was a pleasant surprise in the middle of nowhere. We were traveling back home from the beach and saw this place with cars all around out front. As soon as we walked in the friendly girl at the register greeted us and gave us a menu and said she would take our order. She was consistent with every customer who came in after us. Our food came out quick and everything was hot. Bar b que was good and and the portions were more than we could eat. I'd definitely stop by again. read more

Was passing by on way back to NJ. Everything was excellent. Ribs especially. Loved the Turnip Greens. Highly recommended

Great local place. Awesome friendly staff. Best barbeque sandwich I have had in a long time. I prefer a different type of sauce but theirs is good. Meat is sooooo tender. Do yourself a favor and go on a Friday or Saturday evening and order one of their hand cut steaks. Best steak I have ever eaten. read more
