This was absolutely the worst "bbq" I have ever eaten. The…read moreBBQ ribs were not bbq'd--they were also not flavorful. The sides (baked beans and collard greens) tasted like they were out of a can with no seasoning added. Wow. Just bad. I should have known to leave when there was only one table clean and no patrons in the restaurant. When I asked the young lady at the register what her favorite dish was, she stated that she doesn't eat here. That was clue #2. My mistake. Believe me, it will not happen again.

Anyway my husband just had a burger and fries and said they were delicious. If You are in Pell City definitely give this place a try. Will most likely be back tomorrow night.

Without drink or taxes 10.99. Inside remind me of an old waffle king . I got hamburger steak , brown gravy with onions , fried okra and green tomatoes. With roll. Meal was quick to come out. They tasted like sweet onions, brown gravy was okay didn't stand out thinking with a pre made (or mix) has well has the okra since they was a lot of stem ends in my serving. Green Tomatoes are fried with cornmeal - waitress said they are made fresh to order. They was good, but with every else make wonder. Has I look around seen one customer eating what looks to be a burger with crinkle fries, which was not on my menu nor that I could see, outside has BBQ sandwich chips and tea $8.99. I also didn't see a kid menu. Also a customer asked for soup of the day it was vegetable or chili I did not see that either. Thinking they are an unknown items unless you a regular you don't know. Finish my meal put plate to side of table and keep folks because menu said Friday is blackberry cobbler - so figured staff bring it- since it has a space between it and the sides I figured it was included. When asked at checkout the cashier said it confusing with the spaces but it not included. Over all it a very confusing place for new customers with okay food (aleast what I had) i believe it a regular locals place to eat - if they know you on first name kind deal it probably better but I don't think I return.

Stopped in Buddy's BBQ for the first time. The hospitality was great. Living in texas over 20 years…read morei didn't want to be critical of the BBQ so I decided on the 2 whole catfish meal. This is something I'm familiar with since this is my hometown. The place was lively and I'm not sure if that was the normal pace of the service but I wish it had been a bit faster The sweet tea wa SWEET tea! I let some of my ice melt and ot was fine. The catfish was hot and seasoned just right. For the sides I had fried green tomatoes and potato salad. Neither was the best that I ever had but it wasn't bad at all. I'll support this spot again the next time I'm home. It seems to be thriving in a town with slowly dying small businesses. Hopefully it's still around.

If you ain't ate at Charlie's Barbecue... are you really a cowboy?…read more I rolled in hungry enough to rope a tornado and walked out feelin' like I just survived a holy experience in smoked meat. I ordered the three-plate feast -- ribs, chicken, and pork -- and every bite was straight-up legendary. The ribs? Fall-off-the-bone tender with that perfect smoky bark that makes a cowboy close his eyes and thank the heavens. The chicken? Juicy, smoky, cooked so right it oughta have its own fan club. The pork? Melted like warm butter on a biscuit -- pure magic. And that coleslaw? To. Die. For. Cold, crisp, tangy perfection -- the kind of slaw that makes you lean back, grin, and nod slow. But the chili... good grief. That chili was out of this world -- like they simmered it over campfire coals blessed by a thousand trail riders before me. Charlie's Barbecue ain't just a meal -- it's a dusty-boot, hat-tip, full-throttle cowboy experience. If you ain't ate here yet, Cowboy... go fix that.
