Whoever Baked my potato about 2 weeks ago needs a raise and to never leave. It was so fluffy all…read morethe way through and perfectly cooked that baby angels would have slept on it like a cloud. I almost cried a little. Warning: they do put fake bacon bits on these which I kind of think is a sin for a barbecue place to not have real bacon bits but I just order mine without. Their white sauce is not too sweet (some places mess it up like that). It is a healthy face-sized potato, they are not skimping. I wish I had taken a picture. It had plenty of butter and generous portions of chicken cheese and sour cream. I have absolutely no complaints. I don't know much about the rest of their food because all I ever get here are the baked potatoes. I'm only upset that I went again on the 1st of July not knowing that they had closed for the holiday weekend and they broke my pregnant craving heart, but that's on me.

The inside was very clean and offered indoor dining or carry out. We ordered the pulled pork platter the two sides for this were the baked beans and the vinegar slaw. The pulled pork was some of the best I've eaten. I didn't add any sauce -no need to change that delicious flavor!! We also ordered the rib and brisket platter. Again, what can I say but both meats were tremendously yummy. However we did try some of the Alabama white sauce on the ribs-- yum!! The collard greens and potato salad were also good. Prices are moderate and the service was quick. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this restaurant!

Those who know BBQ often say, "For best BBQ in Alabama, go to Big Bob's." It's not just the best,…read morebut also the inventor's of Alabama Style BBQ, which is particularly notable for the white sauce that's served here and was invented by Big Bob. Big Bob founded the spot back in 1925 and only recently passed away, giving the business to his children. The place is an institution of the state and is packed on weekends. Prices are from an era that's now long gone, making this not only incredible BBQ, but also a steal for the money. I mean, who sells a BBQ pork sandwich for under $5 in 2026? Many staff working here clearly have been around for a long, long time. So, one might ask, what should I get at Big Bob's? For starters, the chicken wings. Likely the best smoked wings to be had anywhere: just the right amount of smokey profile while being tender and juicy. True perfection in something that's hard to master. Next, one of the samplers is not a bad idea. Pulled pork is truly state of the art, winning many competitions around the South. Ribs are fall off the bone and delicious. Brisket is good, but a low fat version that might or might not be to someone's taste. Hand cut French fries and baked beans as a side, and finally, life is all set. Sure, if one gets more adventure, the ice box cakes are wonderful also, with the coconut varietal being a standout. Stop by, enjoy and leave with bragging rights for having tried something truly one of a kind.

Since we were responsible road trippers with our water, I told the clerk that we didn't want the sodas. A back-and-forth ensued, her telling me the boxes come with sodas. I reiterated that we had water. She then said "well, it doesn't change the price." Apparently my not being a local, she thought I was seeking a discount, but I wasn't - I didn't want to waste something we weren't going to drink. That interaction aside, the sandwiches - in the top five meals this trip. Unfortunately, the soup was lukewarm (the plastic bowls perhaps?) The pecan pie was delicious. We regret not getting a couple more sandwiches for later.
