As I have mentioned before, there are a limited amount of sit down restaurants in this vicinity. As a dedicated "Yelper", all of the reviews on multiple platforms have been reviewed and re-evaluated for possible exciting new discoveries. Interviewing and requesting feedback from the locals is a consistent way of finding these treasures as well. We may have resigned ourselves to the possibility that we may never find all of the criteria that make for a successful dining experience here in Guin, Alabama. Delicious fresh food; attentive, timely service; and a comfortable dining atmosphere. Everything else is just extra! Hambone's BBQ has none of those things. The front entrance has no signage and you can't be 100% sure you are here. The inside reminds me of going to the American Legion with Uncle Bob when I was a kid. The mismatch furniture and odd decor is illuminated by an early 70's fluorescent lighting and I can't see any design theme at all. I get the sense we decorated from someone's yard sale. The food was nothing to write home about. I ordered the #78. This was a thick sliced baked potato that has been (supposedly) deep fried, sprinkled with shredded cheese, cubed brisket pieces added with a tiny bit of sour cream, bacon, and a whole lot of pickled Jalapeños (Like covered with Jalapeños). Lisa and Mom had the same thing but with BBQ pulled pork and Aunt K. went with the #78 with chicken. Uncle ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the boys had the ribs, and catfish. I did like the ribs! Very tender and tasty when you slather it with sauce. But, unfortunately, nothing else seemed to work. I don't know what to say about the #78 except, KUDOS for trying, I guess. I'm sorry but, none of us enjoyed it. Reports from the family came in as the following: The chicken was dry and needed seasoning, the catfish was chewy on the edges, dry towards the center, with a distinct fishy taste, and definitely needed some additional seasoning. Uncle was not impressed. The smoked meat, itself, was well prepared (as average smoked BBQ goes). Mom was disappointed. The service was fine. There were 5-6 teenagers serving the few customers in on a Saturday evening and checked on us frequently. They were very polite and our food came out fairly quickly. I will say, as a side note, the drive through was pretty steady. We were a bit surprised to be greeted by the owner (Greg) sporting his tattered overalls and ball cap. He sat and joined us for a bit of conversation during our meal. If you decide to visit this place on your way through, I would recommend hitting the drive through and definitely choose the ribs, and ask for extra sauce. Sorry Greg. Billy P.

The beans were good but a little sweet for me, and the potato salad was ok as well. My spouse had the Whiting and Fried okra which was not gluten free but said they were really great!

The building is classic roadhouse style--totally unpretentious with its sign and adverts plaster on the walls. The interior is the same, open seating and seats at the bar. The menu has broadened over the years, rather than just ribs, white bread and pudding, you can get a pork sandwich and chicken with a limited number of sides (the Mac and cheese is superior). The franchised Dreamlands are so different with a plethora of choices, more to the liking of the suburban south. If you like that, go for it. For my money, you can't beat the original. The ribs are charred perfectly and the service is old time South, friendly and helpful. You immediately feel at ease with everything and everyone around you. Take out is available--actually this place is just minutes off the highway. But a whole another world at the same time.

I took my family here as we traveled through. We were hours away when I would tell them stories of traveling here just for the best ribs I ever eaten. It was now an adventure. We arrived and the building looked the same, the customer service polite and inviting. The atmosphere superb. The food not so much. The ribs were charred, there was hardly any meat. It was the worst ribs I had in a long time. The ribs did not have that love they once had, they no longer had that care of the art of bbq. I felt horrible that I spent so much and took my family here. O' how I dream of those days at Dreamland when the ribs just fell off that bone and the eagerness of the next bite because they were so so good. I pray one day they will go back to their roots and the dream that Dreamland once had to provide the best southern bbq ribs around.

I suppose if you call yourself #1 and have tons of plaques and trophies everywhere then your food better be damn good. The sides were not great and barely good. The baked beans with meat was the standout, the coleslaw (vinegar with lite mayo) was good and the potato salad was a bland, tasteless mayonnaise mess. Overall sides I tried were C-/D. The three meats: outstanding ribs, weird pulled brisket (not listed that way on the menu) has a flavoring that was nice for 2-3 bites but then I didn't want anymore, and the dry pulled pork, although not grizzly or fatty, was not great and barely good. In addition, there's only two sauces and one of them was very honey based, and you could taste it the other was hot, but not the kind of hot that hit your tongue right away but sort of last in your throat and lingers. All in all I wouldn't be rushing back here for anything that I had with the exception of the ribs, which again or the outstanding dish
