    May be the best chicken fried steak ever. It was the special on Wednesdays. Family owned and operated.

    I used 306 Barbecue in Athens to cater a lineal society meeting. I worked with Michelle to work out…read morethe menu details and delivery logistics. She was delightful to work with. The food delivery was scheduled for 12:00 to 12:15pm. Two gentlemen from 306 arrived precisely at 12;00. Our meeting was still underway with the Alabama Division President speaking. The gentleman were as quiet as church mice as they unpacked and laid out the food on the serving tables. I quietly met them in the hallway, paid them and thanked them for their professionalism. The food was delicious; smoked chicken, pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, dinner rolls, apple cobbler and iced tea. You can't go wrong with 306 Barbecue!

    Meats and sides were absolutely amazing! We rolled past this on the way to Costco after getting off…read moreof the interstate. Decided to wait out the traffic there after getting gas. So glad that we did! We got the three meat combo with three sides. We went ahead and went with ribs which is a little bit extra. I'm so glad we did. They were fall off the bone but not wet if you know what I mean. The smoked turkey was outstanding and the pulled pork was really good. I liked their signature sauce in the pictures. They had other sauces up by the counter. It is a place your order at the counter and they'll bring it out to you sort of deal. Everyone was very nice and outgoing very helpful. Two TVs plenty of tables outdoor seating if you'd like. There was a party room it looked like as well.

Everything I had was very good. The green beans were unexpectedly a bit spicy hot. The pulled pork sandwich was excellent, and the potato salad was very good. The iced tea was perfect. Don't expect chit-chat with the order taker, she was keeping the line moving - fast. It's definitely a place to come back to. (Don't tell them, but the prices are very reasonable.) A shame I can't give them 6 stars. With all of the places to eat in the area, a lot of people are missing out and spending too much by going someplace else.

    I still love Lawlers! Like a favorite little black dress, it's comfortable, classic and reliable!…read moreDo you get a raging Smoke ring and an abundance of smoky flavor like Chuck Wagon? Or some items at Ted's BBQ? No. And that's okay! You do get consistency! Quality meats delivered by friendly folks and they offer poultry options like turkey and chicken (both are pulled which I like). Thanks Lawlers, we had your pulled pork and chicken last night for dinner along with your delicious green beans and barbecued beans and I enjoyed the leftovers for breakfast. I'll get thr Hubs to get more green beans next time they are always perfectly flavored and yummerriffic!

I have been eating Big Bob's BBQ my whole life. The quality and taste of the pork shoulder, smoked chicken, and Brunswick stew I recently purchased was very very disappointing. We ordered 2 pounds of pork shoulder. The meat had no taste. I couldn't detect hickory smoke. The pork was burnt and very fatty. The accompanying vinegar based sauce was not seasoned like previous times. Basically it was vinegar with little seasoning. 1/5 The smoked chicken, my favorite, was dry. I wondered if it was leftover from the previous day. The seasoning wasn't very good. 2/5 The Brunswick stew was not good. The recipe has changed. It tasted sweet which was off putting. I do not remember Brunswick stew tasting sweet. The quart of stew had 10 tiny pieces of potato and a few corn kernels. I saw some pork meat floating in a strange red colored broth. I remember when stewed tomatoes were in the stew. Not anymore. The soupy stew did not taste very good. 2/5 The potato with pulled pork was ok. The sauce given was a thin vinegar base that had little seasoning. The potato was the best thing I ate from Big Bob's. 3/5 I am thoroughly disappointed with the quality and taste of Big Bob's pulled pork, smoked chicken and Brunswick stew. I will return again. It will be a while though. I can't get this visit out of my head. This feels like a bad Twilight Zone episode. I really have enjoyed the foods from here in the past. Sadly, not this time. 2/5
