Hidden inside an unassuming strip mall/parking lot awaits some of the best high-quality BBQ ever! Phenomenal ribs were heavenly smoked (was that hickory and oak?), perfectly seasoned, and adorned with an immaculate bark. The ridiculously succulent, juicy, and mouth-watering brisket was over-the-top absurdly delicious. Sides sampled were the ethereal smoked baked beans (what magic created that incredible tang finish?), and the incredible garlic mashed potatoes, so tasty--how could mashed potatoes be that good my head is spinning. But wait! The coup de grace is the constellation of amazing sauces, each one better than the next. We tried a bunch including: Sweet Smoke, Bourbon, Tamy Bite, Mango Hab, Kicking Cajun, Carolina. An absolute epicurean delight was dunking meat from one sauce to the next. What an experience! Highly recommended, can't wait to go back for more. read more

Ok now I get it... First time I came based on great reviews and just got a sandwich. It was ok. Decided to come back and get a plate. Boy oh boy. Get at least a 2-meat and some sides and now we are talking. It's legit. Good pound and a half of delish smoked meat. Mil and LE friendly. read more

Chopper's Ol' School BBQ - Stuffed Baked potato - Barbeque Near Me - Daleville, Alabama

This place is some of the best BBQ I've ever had. And I love BBQ more than I should. Brisket is moist, tender, and smoky. Ribs are delicious. It is all delicious. Insanely good. Don't miss this spot. Only open for lunch (close at 3) or when they run out it's gone. Don't be fooled by the run down strip mall. read more

The place looks sketchy outside. Don't let that stop you from this hidden bbq magic! You'll walk in and have to go down a long hall way. That where you'll order. Service is what you expect from a local place. But the food amazing. Everything was perfect. Our favorite was the brisket! read more

Chopper's Ol' School BBQ - Ribs and brisket - Barbeque Near Me - Daleville, Alabama

I haven't been here in over 6 years. Located in a dilapidated shopping center in this small town. They have wooden picnic tables inside. Had the smoked chicken option, which was not bad. Variety of options and will depend on one's hunger. Ribs, brisket, sausage, and chicken are the main staples with sauces ranging from mild to hot. I chose Cajun flavored one. For a quick lunch, this is a good option. To entice people to dine here, each day is dedicated to professionals with discounted rates. Monday are law enforcement and first responders and Tuesdays are for military personnel. read more

This place has very little decorations on the inside, but they aren't needed because it's all about the 'cue! It was my first time and the staff was very helpful and friendly. I had the Slammer Jammer sandwich (smoked sausage, smoked pork, smoked chicken, cole slaw, pepper Jack cheese, and spicy slammer jammer bbq sauce), a side of smoked Mac and cheese, and a drink for only $9.50 plus tax!! The sandwich was outstanding. The meats had a subtle smoke flavor and were delicious. They didn't skimp on the portions either. It really filled me up. The smoked Mac and cheese was just ok. It wasn't super cheesy or creamy and tasted a little dried out. My beverage was a mango lemonade and it was so good, I got a refill to take on the road with me. For the amount and quality of food for the money, this is the best lunch value I've found in southeast Alabama. read more

Excellent serving size. Fast service. Longest I've had to wait was 5 minutes. If you're hungry and eat at lunch, you're probably not going to be hungry when dinner time comes around! Everything on the menu is good, but I'm a big fan of the Georgia Boy sandwich or the pulled pork sandwich with their sweet jalapeno sauce or the Mango Habanero sauce. This is a small family run business, not a corporation, so they actually care about serving their customers and are grateful for the time you spend there. They don't have stockholders to please and agendas to push, just good food. With fast food prices rising a huge amount due to inflation, their menu is actually very low priced compared to eating at McDonalds or Wendy's. You get more food for your money too. A good rule of thumb is to look at how many cars are parked outside a restaurant at lunchtime, and you'll know there's good food there! Lots of room to park, and even during the lunch rush, the service is fast! read more

First off I'm from Texas, so initially I'm Already skeptical about trying Brisket in other states. But I got to give a total high-five to the person(s) who smoked the briskets here! Full of flavor, great Smokey taste, moist but not too moist; overall a very good job!! The sandwiches are huge and more than fairly priced! Heck, even the sweet tea was good, although I always get 1/2 sweet & 1/2 not sweet. Mac'n'Cheese....meh, I do Not recommend it all. Mushy, overcooked, very greasy, questioned if there was even cheese in it all?? Idk, but I won't be getting it again. If you haven't tried this place yet, you MUST!! I'm definitely recommending to all of my friends! read more

Great BBQ love their chopped brisket with Kicking Cajun BBQ sauce. They have great quality meat and the quantity of meat on sandwiches are great portions. Love their banana pudding and cobbler too. Sweet tea is excellent. The staff is awesome. I'd recommend checking them out. Great customer service read more

Oh my goodness. I haven't had BBQ like this in a LONG TIME! Did the brisket and rib plate, but were incredible! Service was awesome and fast. Don't just what it looks like, go in and just enjoy! I'll definitely come back!! read more

Tucked away in what appears to be a shut down old strip mall is a phenomenal restaurant. If you remember only one thing from this review, remember this: GET THE BEEF BRISKET. Got the Brisket platter for $15 yesterday. Unbelievable amount of delicious food and on Thursdays you get a free drink. I had it for lunch with the BBQ Beans and Mac-n-Cheese. I had enough leftover for two breakfast omelettes and then lunch with plain old white bread today. Their Sweet Smoke and Carolina sauces were the perfect combination. Prices are great, food is awesome, and the owners are great to chat with. read more

Since I moved back to the Wiregrass area of Alabama, I wanted to try some BBQ that was not in Dothan. Choppers Old School BBQ was the first to make the list. Choppers is located in a not so quaint shopping center on the east side of Daleville but don't be fooled by the run-down shopping center outside. Choppers looks like it is recently painted and is very clean inside. When you enter, you walk down the hallway to the counter. While you walk down the hallway, you notice the pretty large dining area with tables and picnic tables. There is also a wall you can sign and another wall that has a painted hog on a motorcycle. If you still question your safety, there were a lot of men dressed in their Army gear who works at Fort Rucker that was in Choppers the whole time I was. When I get to the counter, I inform the lady that this was my first time coming to Choppers. The first thing she asked was how hungry I was (always a great question). Since this was my first time, I like to sample as much as I can. I love BBQ joints with 2 and 3 meat plates and I went big with the 3 meat plate. As I looked at the menu, something unique about Choppers is that they have 5 unique BBQ sandwiches on the menu that look like are worth a try. You will just have to look at the photos for the one of the menu to find them. I will also like to note that at the counter that there is a note that if anyone posts a review of Choppers, they are entered in a drawing for a free meal. So draw me please? My 3 meat came with brisket, ribs, and pork. They loaded my plate down with brisket. Usually with combo plates, you don't get as much of one particular meat. I'm glad they loaded me down with brisket instead of the ribs and pork, because the brisket was the best. It was tender, juicy, and a great peppery rub. Next time I visit, it will be for the brisket. The pulled pork was good too. It had a little sauce mixed in and was pulled pretty fine. The ribs I didn't really enjoy. I couldn't place my finger on why. They had a good dry rub on them and wasn't tough. It seemed like the 2 I had didn't have a lot of meat on them. Either way, the brisket was the best out of the meats. Choppers made my day as a sauce-aholic with 7 different kinds of BBQ sauce! The 3 on the table to me, were the best of the lot. Those 3 were Tangy Bite (sweet mustard), Sweet Smoke (sweet, smoky ketchup), and Kickin Cajun (ketchup base with some cajun spices and hot sauce mixed in). The Cajun had a mild to medium heat to it. I loved all 3 and can't tell you which one I enjoy the most. The other 4 are at the counter with the refill center. Those 4 are Spicy Mustard (like the Tangy Bite but a little spicy), Carolina (vinegar style with mild to medium heat), Mango Haberno (very fruity, weird, and hot), and Devil's Spit (smoky, made with ghost pepper, and also hot). Out of those 4, I liked the Carolina the best. The spicy mustard didn't taste much different than the Tangy bite. The Mango Haberno was just weird to me but the guy behind the counter told me it went well with sausage. The Devil's Spit wasn't as hot as I thought it would be but I would rate it a 7 on my heat scale. For my sides, I chose potato salad and slaw. They came in about a 4 oz. cup. I felt like I didn't get a lot but that was ok compared to the amount of meat I received. The potato salad was a good mustard base. The slaw was a mayo base. I liked the potato salad better than the slaw. My brother got the mac and cheese and I tried it. It was good mac and cheese but I liked the potato salad and slaw better. The best side though was the corn muffin by a long shot! Holy Cow! If you love sweet cornbread, it is a must have. I would have been happy getting a plate of brisket and corn muffins. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet...very sweet. The only thing I can say I wish was a little bit better were the sides. They were good but I'm not coming back for the sides. I will be back to Choppers for more brisket, muffins, sauce, and those unique sandwiches. read more

Great BBQ joint, veteran owned and easily satisfys your meaty cravings. Ribs were killer, chopped brisket definitely on point. Recommend the bake beans too, awesome flavor. Cornbread had a unique flavor and consistency -- definitely worth the visit. The staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is laid back. You absolutely have to get a bannana pudding -- it is amazing!!! read more

Chopper's Ol' School BBQ - This will put you to bed, delicious. - Barbeque Near Me - Daleville, Alabama

I just recently came to the Wiregrass area from Texas. This BBQ was top notch. Brisket has a nice Smokey flavor and very moist. Chicken was the same. The sausage had my wife on the floor crying for more. All their sauces seem home made. My wife enjoyed the sweet but the tangy was my go to. The Mac and cheese is just right between the smoke flavor and the cheese! The customer service was great. Very friendly. Be warned though! Everything is fresh! That means when they're out, it's not instant to restore! Place your orders quick cause I'm telling you, with my experience in this place. There is plenty of orders coming in! Stop by and try their great cooking! read more

Chopper's Ol' School BBQ - Best brisket/ sausage sandwich I've had! - Barbeque Near Me - Daleville, Alabama

I'm a Texan with a stupid high preference for my brisket being heavy Mesquite smoked, and this place isnt that and I'm still giving it 5/5 stars. Brisket is tender, not overly juicy,has a good meat:grizzle ratio, and has solid flavor to go with it. Hard to beat it unless you're going with the sandwiches (they come with generous portions of meat). This place isn't my preferred style of BBQ but i can still taste the effort they put into the meat, so yes. Try this place or patronize it. (bourbon is my go to sauce there) read more

This place is a hidden Gem in Daleville! The food is amazing and very filling. A local spot, but enjoyable for everyone. The place has plenty of seating including picnic tables so no one gets left out of the party. The owner is very friendly and makes the rounds to ensure all guests are happy with the meal and establishment. Don't wait any longer, go get you some Que! read more

My BBQ chicken stuffed potato was delicious. I had the devil-spit sauce because I'm not a fan of sweet BBQ sauces. It was spicy, but not sooo hot that it didn't have a good flavor. Sometimes a hot BBQ sauce is just hot, not flavorful, but this one was quite tasty. I hear the brisket is the best around. I'll have to try it next time! read more

This is a good BBQ place to dine in with family we have been here twice and every time we come the place is clean and the service is fast. The food is good too we usually get the bbq pork sandwich with fries, delicious. And their sweet tea is good as well. read more

I was initially worried when I ordered the 1/2 lb chicken. I expected little meat and a lot of bones. Geesh was I wrong! The chicken was perfectly chopped, no bones and down right juicy! Choppers has the best chicken I have ever had (which is a big deal)! I also loved the old school bbq character and look. read more

An amazing local BBQ spot! Whenever we have family of friends visiting us, this is always a "must go to" place to eat! Overall a great value, as well as amazing food. No frills atmosphere, focus is on the food! Every time we dine in (pre COVID) someone would check in on us, usually it was the owner. read more

Don't judge a book by its cover. Great food made by great people. My personal favorite is the brisket sandwich.

This place is the truth! I had the Slammer Jammer sandwich, mac and cheese and the potato salad. The sandwich was amazing and huge! Mac and cheese wasn't spicy but it did have a dab of spice to it that I truly enjoyed. Potato salad was on point as well. Definitely worth the visit and I will be back! read more

To be honest it wasn't great but I mean it wasn't bad I travel a lot for work and I eat at new barbecue restaurants at least once or twice a month. I had the pulled pork which was moist decent amount of smoke flavor. The cornbread muffin wasn't too bad a little dry baked beans about average for the area taste . The smoked mac & cheese I feel like has potential to be really good but it just seemed a little dry today The high points was the price a drink and plate for under 10 bucks . read more

Hidden gem! Wish we found this restaurant sooner. I had the loaded baked potato for lunch, couldn't finish it. My husband had the slammer jammer sandwich. He ate it all but was too full for dinner hours later. Can't wait to go back! read more

I was pleasantly surprised by the BBQ at Choppers. Don't let the exterior run you off, its clean and inviting inside and most importantly the food is good. I had the brisket baked potato (I'm picky about brisket) but it was very tasty. They have enough sauces there for anyones taste preference. Best of all the prices are extremely fair. I will definitely go back. read more

Choppers held a Thanksgiving event giving free meals to soldiers who couldn't be home with their families, and it meant the world to me. Even better, the food was amazing. The turkey was smoked and the mac and cheese and sweet potatoes were the best ever. I'd be happy to patronize this place! read more

The BBQ is really good, I don't care for the drinks but they have a selection of can sodas that is fine. I really wish they didn't use so much styrofoam and disposable dish ware. Try this place, you won't be sorry. read more

Awesome food and the portions were excellent. Their bourbon bbq sauce is absolutely out of this world. Probably the best bbq in the area.
