I'm kind of conflicted here because we had to wait so long. But we sat down with a local, had a great conversation, finally got our food, which was delicious, and they gave us an extra plate because they screwed up our order. Overall I can't complain. The bbq beef, ribs, potato salad, and baked beans were great. Author David Moon Books on Amazon Zomosapiens Scales of Justice read more

Go up to order your food then go to window to pick up. Not really a table dinning style. Portions was small service from staff was ok they were having more of a conversation in the back instead of smiling at the customers. Clean and well lite place. read more

I'm hoping I caught them on a bad day. After reading all the reviews I was excited to give this local spot a try. Fresh hamburgers and fresh hot handcut fries are a favorite of mine. Sadly I didn't get either. The hamburger, I asked for medium and it came out well done, was dry and luke warm. The fries were cold and soggy. The burger tasted like it had been par cooked and then reheated. I usually give local places two tries, so I will give them another try. read more

Everything we tried was so good. The woman said they had been in business 28 years. I loved the sweet potato fries topped with a little bit of sugar. We ordered the ribeye sandwich rare, so delicious! read more

See all

The Crow's Nest has been a fixture in Andalusia for many years. You are welcomed with the aroma of BBQ, and a country cabin feel. The staff are very cordial and attentive. French fries are my weakness as well as sweet tea both at The Crow's Nest are exceptional. read more

Nice place, quirky atmosphere and excellent food, especially the BBQ! No table service, but plenty of places to sit. Orders placed at one window, then picked up at another. We're regular customers now. read more

The pit BBQ pulled pork served here is among the best I've EVER had. The restaurant isn't anything special, and the service isn't overly friendly. But if you are looking for good, pit BBQ, this is definitely worth a visit. We stop most years on our way to the beach and I haven't had a bad experience yet. As I said, nothing real special except the food. read more

Restaurant Filthy, Dirty, Gross a one. Food was a two. Ribs dry and hard. Service was a three. read more

Great Bbq. Good for lunch. Served on styrofoam. Not much to look at. Not much to look at inside.

Well, I had high hopes. The onion rings were delicious. The burger ... not so great. It was a piece of meat pinched off the slab of ground beef and thrown on the grill, maybe 3.5 ounces. Condiments were skimpy although I could have added more if the catsup container hadn't been empty. The bun on my burger was ice cold, ice cold, like it just came out of the fridge. The help was great. I spilled a drink and they were right there to clean it up. They said hi and goodbye and thanks for stopping by. What got me is the place is dirty. You can hardly see out of the windows. Everything is dusty. Made me wonder when the last time the walls were cleaned and what does the kitchen look like. Can't recommend. read more

We enjoy stopping at local restaurants. The crows nest was a wonderful surprise. It didn't look very fancy on the outside and it's really not fancy on the inside either. But the food was very very good. My husband had catfish and could not stop raving. I had a salad with barbecue on it that was yummy. For us it was worth it! read more

So far it's clean and and the parking is right at the front door. There is no service to speak of, you have to order at a window and pick it up yourself. read more

Best food ice had in a long time.. very fresh and amazing food. The fried pickles, fried catfish, cole slaw, fried okra, and the signature steak sandwich was really great! read more

Service is average at best and food is sub par. Not mad about it, just wont eat there again

Decided to try out the last BBQ place in town for lunch today. Placed my order for a large bbq sandwich, some baked beans, some onion rings and some banana pudding (They LOVE banana pudding down South....I have become a convert. Its always delicious). Total for my meal was $13.00 and change. I took it to go and ate it at the hotel. Here is how it was. BBQ Sandwich- Chopped pork covered in BBQ sauce. It tasted alright but this thing was greasy as a mofo. The bun itself was basically dripping with moisture. I thought it was maybe butter at first but nope...it was grease from the pork. It kind of grossed me out and I left most of the bun and ate just the meat. The meat was just ok. If it was less greasy it would have been pretty good. BBQ Beans- Best beans I have had this trip. They give you a huge serving of them too. They were thick and rich and had little pieces of meat in them. Too many places just dish out canned beans. Not here! These were dark brown like they were actually BAKED and not just heated up. They were delicious! Onion Rings- Real shitty and way too greasy. I only got about 5 onion rings with my order too. They were freshly made and dipped in a tempura type batter but they were not good. I ate 2 of them and tossed the rest. Meh. Banana Pudding- They sure do love that dessert down here. Its freaking delicious too. This cup was packed with banana pudding, pound cake/vanilla wafers (I cant tell exactly what they use but I'm 99% sure its actual pound cake. I did have some Blue Bell "Banana Pudding" ice cream the other day and they used wafers....either way, still delicious.) and whipped cream. You could tell this was homemade too because the way it was put together. The bananas weren't brown or rotten or anything but you could tell they were ripe. It was really good...not Dreamland good, but still pretty tasty. Overall this place was ok. Beans and banana pudding were really good. Sandwich was just ok (worst bbq sandwich in town so far) and the onion rings were meh. Workers were semi friendly (nobody else was in the place and they were all in the back just hanging out) and I got my food fast. Decent place to go I guess. I would head to the other places in town again before coming back here though. 3 stars. A OK but far from great. read more

Great little place to stop and grab a lunch. Good food at reasonable prices and super friendly employees. Also available locally on Waitr which is great! read more

Great BBQ, especially the pulled pork. Solid service, well cared for and a cute garden outside.

Great little stop. Family owned and operated. Good BBQ, just like good old-fashioned home cooking. Friendly and local favorite!

I'm so disappointed in this Green Hills institution. I have been here half a dozen times and five of the last six were the well below what one would expect in this area. The indifference was appalling and I'll only go back if I get vetoed by a group from going to their competitors read more

Stopped on the way to the beach for lunch. Had the BBQ sandwich with fries. The BBQ was very good but the fries were a real treat. They cut and fry them. Real French fries ! I plan to stop on the way back. read more

Fantastic BBQ at reasonable prices. I only gave four stars because I haven't had everything on the menu. Yet. Pulled pork was tender and moist, not dried out like it is many other places. Saucy was tangy and sweet. Sides were great - homecut fries, a grilled onion swimming in butter, and great baked beans. I look forward to going back and trying the rest of the items on their menu. Me and my two kids had dinner for just over $20. EDIT: I have been back several times, each time as good as the last. Ribs are flavorful and tender (and sell out quick!), and the grilled ribeye was excellent. The kids love the chicken tenders, and the fries are absolutely some of the best I've ever had. I've been meaning to try other BBQ places in town, but I can't! Anytime I feel like BBQ, I head over here. read more

What a treat. Stopped in on the way back from Destin and very glad we did. Order at one window and pick up at another. Sit anywhere with a couple of tables outside. Very friendly southern hospitality. All the items you would expect from any self respecting southern menu. Prices right where you want 'me. $2.95 for pulled pork sammich, $1.99 for big side of okra. We all had pulled pork. Cooked just right w/o too much BBQ sauce. Fried okra was just about perfect. I initially was gonna ignore reviewing the baked beans 'cause they're just baked beans, but by the time I finished them they justified a mention as top notch. Authentic southern iced tea to wash it down and we finished off with the best banana pudding I've ever eaten. If you're in the area I highly recommend a visit. read more

Crow's Nest - a black car parked in front of a house - Barbeque Near Me - Andalusia, Alabama

The Pepsi was great, in fact it was much better than the food we had there today. I ordered the large BBQ beef sandwich with fries and my wife had the pulled chicken plate, it was abominable. My bun was very stale, the beef was tough and about half of it was burnt (picture old dairy cow), the fries were mediocre at best. My wife's chicken was totally unseasoned and the texas toast was dry enough to choke on. The sign out front says the best bbq in the south, they need to change that before they get sued for false advertising. The BBQ sauce on the table was so thick it was congealed in the bottle, suspect it was old. I encourage you to look elsewhere before wasting your money here. I will never go back!!! read more

Stopped for lunch. The place is friendly and inviting with a very slow pace. The food was well worth it. We had pulled pork, beef, a chicken sandwich, and some super good fries. read more

Great BBQ. Friendly staff. Clean place along with bathroom. A returning customer. Plates are good.

Best Bbq in Andalusia! The Hart attack sandwich is the bomb! The staff is gracious and welcoming. Wonderful food!

NASTY! Slap a 1/8" slice of steak, complete with fat and gristle, between two pieces of stale white bread. Just keep driving!!

Great road side BBQ joint. Very clean, very friendly. Ribs & pulled pork were outstanding. Don't miss mini pecan pies.

Great BLT - I had to smush the Texas Toast and bacon down so I could eat it! Very ripe tomatoes, great slaw. I can't wait to go back next week. read more

They do a lot of Christian service work. BBQ is okay. Hamburgers are institutional patties...nothing fancy or great
