It was rarely a family event when we didn't make it to Tate's to pick up pulled pork. If you want a sweet sauce, this is not really your place. This is truly a hole in the wall, and the hours are limited, and not always followed (the only reason it doesn't get a 5 for me), but the smoke flavor is better than most of the big name places. It was so nice to enjoy our 3 pounds we brought home and had on sandwiches for the fourth. It tasted like home. To the owners of Tate's-I have never found another place that does it quiet like you do. This is the best. Only advice-call ahead! This way you don't miss them! Hope to see you next time I am "home."

Ever on the hunt for the best bbq, we found some time to try Donnie's Friday afternoon. Open only…read moreThursday - Saturday, this little carryout spot is very much off the beaten path. In a blink and you'll miss it structure (it almost looks like one of those prebuilt sheds you could get at Lowes) in a residential part of New Hope, Donnie's offers traditional bbq meals with a wide selection of sides and desserts. My parents and I got two pulled pork meals, both with macaroni and cheese as a side. I got sweet potato casserole with mine while my parents opted for the hash brown casserole as their second side. Each plate was served with a small, soft white roll. We had banana pudding and chocolate fudge pie for dessert. Drinks include canned Pepsi products and bottled Milos tea. The young man taking orders was polite and helpful. We stood around by our car while we waited and then took our food to the nearby park to eat at a picnic table. There's nowhere to sit and eat at Donnie's, which is fine - just something to keep in mind. Just be ready to make the drive home or head to the park like we did. Overall, the food was okay. The weakest link was the sweet potato casserole, as it didn't have a ton of flavor. The bbq itself was next up -- a decent smoke flavor and texture, but unfortunately pretty dry. The sauce was slightly sweet and very tangy. Rolls were storebought but were a nice enough addition; I always like a little bread with my bbq. The macaroni and cheese also wasn't super flavorful, but was good enough -- just didn't stand out much. I'm confident the chocolate fudge pie was not homemade but it actually tasted pretty good: kind of Oreo-ish crust and a sweet, slightly-denser-than-pudding chocolate filling. The best two things were the hash brown casserole (very cheesy and creamy) and the banana pudding - made with real vanilla pudding, plentiful Nilla wafers, and nice, ripe bananas. Those two items are keepers. Overall, it's a worthwhile experience to check off if you're dedicated to trying out all the bbq the wider Huntsville area has to offer, like me. Personally, it's not a particular favorite, but I have certainly had much, much worse and would encourage you to visit and form your own opinion.

Events concluded somewhat early on Saturday and I wanted to make the most of my drive out that way, so I decided to drive a little farther to give Gordo's Way a try. TL;DR -- I'm gonna be making more special trips to Albertville. This restaurant is located on Main Street in Albertville. It's on the corner/end of the street. Street parking is limited but there's a large lot across the street that I took advantage of. They appear to only be open Friday - Sunday so plan accordingly! A few picnic tables are arranged in front of the entrance. The restaurant is small with room for maybe ~25 seats on the inside. You order at the counter. The menu is diverse with a lot of authentic Mexican and Central American dishes. Big focus on birria -- not just tacos, but pizza and ramen too. Service was exceptional! The young woman who greeted me at the counter was so friendly and nice. She immediately caught on it was my first visit and she graciously offered to explain the menu to me. She was exceedingly thorough - more than I truly needed but I didn't mind because she was so sweet - and she knew her stuff! If you're new to this cuisine at all, Gordo's Way would be a great place to explore because the staff will take care of you. They have several containers of aguas frescas, to include cucumber pineapple, horchata, orange pineapple, etc. I knew I wanted one but couldn't pick -- they kindly offered me a sample. The cucumber pineapple was perfect -- delightfully refreshing, not too sweet but not too cucumbery either, and so that was my choice. I ordered two birria tacos with a side of rice and beans to accompany my beverage. This was actually my first time trying birria. I've waited to try it because I wanted to try it somewhere I was confident would do it well -- reviews led me here. I wasn't disappointed. It was delicious: the beef was chewy, savory, succulent, so moist; the onions were crunchy but unobtrusive; the tortilla was thin and crispy; and the consommé for dipping was perfectly umami and surprisingly not insanely messy. The only thing that didn't completely knock my socks off was the rice. It wasn't bad, just kind of standard. The beans were, I think, charro beans -- definitely pintos, not refried. They were smoky and tender. Go out of your way to Gordo's Way -- you will not regret it.
