Wonderful people!! So glad we made the trek down to this place. All the folks were friendly, we were allowed to shelter on the patio with our dogs, the food was delicious!! Can't say enough good things about this bbq spot. It is well worth the trek from Veteran's highway down into the campground to find it. read more

The barbecue is great here. And all of the sides. They are quite busy most of the time so prepare to wait in line with limited seating, but it is worth it. read more

we have been here several times , food was always good service portions etc. went today June 6 2026 prices went way up 30 for 2 people to eat a bbcue sand which fries and small drink portion for a kids meal and the barbecue flat out tasted like the tubs you buy in a grocery store . very disappointed. I understand the pricing, but the portion size what a shame , and they expect customers to be happy and want to come back! not us! read more

This is the Burger Man with Best Burgers in America Association, and I travel scoring burgers for restaurants. I do NOT show bias; I score them by a scoring point system. I was invited to come to KC's Bar-B-Q and score their burger for them. The burger was fresh ground beef, fresh toppings, and grilled and seasoned to perfection. Amazing burger. The customer service was outstanding. I highly recommend this restaurant for great food and service. read more

Great bbq , can certainly tell was not smoke with "dirty" smoke but clean , not harsh , great smoke ring into the ribs.. was fantastic and I couldn't do any better in my backyard on my own smoker! read more

A bunch of us (20) were in the area and stopped to eat here. Some people had the cat fish, wings, pork bbq and hamburgers. Everyone raved about their meal. Not a single complaint. Service is quick and the lake was beautiful to look at while we ate. read more

It was so nice to eat a delicious lunch out on the deck and see the water and ducks swimming around. Visited 11/18/2925. Weather was perfect! Great service! read more

We enjoyed all of our food and the view from the deck was nice. The brisket had great flavor and the wings were perfect! Service was friendly, they brought the food out to us on the deck. read more

Best wings anywhere! I had smoked and my husband had Smokey fried - both were great. Love the outdoor deck

Food variety is abundant and quality 5 stars. They do get busy but worth the wait. Plenty of seating and gorgeous views.

3 stars for food / 5 stars for location/atmosphere, so a 4 overall. This little bbq joint is located in Jackson County Park right by a boat rental area. It has a little pier/dock that extends a bit into the lake with tables and chairs where you can dine with a view of the water. The view is beautiful -- the lake pushes up against gorgeous green mountains -- and perfect on a sunny day. The view and location alone make it a highly desirable spot to eat lunch. The inside of the restaurant is pretty typical of a southern bbq joint. Unpretentious, comfortable, a little kitschy in an endearing way. You walk right in and order at the counter. The staff was a little overwhelmed when we walked in and had some trouble keeping our large order straight, but they were friendly and considering how busy they were, it was understandable for sure. Plus, our order came out right, which is all that matters in the end. We had the smoked wings, pulled pork loaded fries, and a pork plate with fries, garlic toast, and macaroni and cheese. We tried the sweet bbq and the ranch as our dipping/drizzling sauces of choice. The food was okay to good, depending on the item. Weakest link was probably the macaroni and cheese, which had a very thin, anemic cheese sauce that didn't taste like much of anything. The crinkle cut fries were maybe a little underdone but salted perfectly. They went well with the ranch. The pork itself was pulled a little too finely for our tastes, making it a little mushy. It was also lacking a little bit of smoke flavor. However, we really liked the bbq sauce; it was a great balance of sweet and vinegary, and its addition helped make the pork better. The best thing was definitely the smoked wings. My only complaint is they were maybe a tiny bit dry, but they had excellent smoke flavor and a good texture -- not tough or anything. The garlic toast was also surprisingly delicious. Not soggy at all, crispy crust, and perfectly toasty. If you're looking for a fun road trip from Huntsville (like us) or if you just want to enjoy some beautiful weather by the water, KC's is definitely worth a try! read more

KC's BBQ - Pork plate with Mac and fries, smoked wings, and pork fries in the back. - Barbeque Near Me - Scottsboro, Alabama

Scenic, serene little bbq joint that sits on the water. Just about 15 minutes from Unclaimed Baggage if you are in the area seeing that. First-get the brisket-no really the brisket is the best I've had across multiple states. It's got a good bark line, and is tender and juicy-no knife or fork required. Their classic bbq sauce is a perfect compliment. The potato salad and Mayo slaw were good too-solid sides. But the brisket-oh man. The wings were smoked evenly and we're just as good. You can't beat the price, the food is excellent, and the patio view on the waterfront during the fall season when the leaves are changing is just perfect. Delicious! All the way! read more

It's fair que, on the water so the ambiance is what really brings people here. I found all of their food to be overly salty or saucy, nothing in the middle. Barbecue is a passion of mine and I'm still trying to find a place in north Alabama that at least tries to rise to the same level of passion. This isn't it. read more

This is a great place! The menu is huge ! The staff is friendly and the service is great. The BBQ is awesome and they have great sides to go with it. You can also sit outside and eat your meal by the water. This is a place you should never pass up if you are in the area. read more

waited for almost an hour to get our food at this place (and there weren't even many customers), we decided to leave and asked for our money back. I don't know why we were ignored, maybe they have a problem with foreigners. we didn't have any food so we can't say anything about that. but with what we experienced, we cannot recommend this place! read more

Forget, trying to find this place at night time by time I got there it looks like a barbecue joint but smelled no food so left

Super poor customer service. They didn't give my complete to go order and had to call three times to let them know I was coming back. Each time more ten minutes hold. Fourth time, they could have cared less. No sorry about that just.."ok". read more

Food is excellent for lunch and dinner. Service is on target. Ambiance is casual. We have eaten lunch and dinner there numerous times and never been disappointed. We had the breakfast buffet and were not impressed. $$$ expensive and limited (no fruit, eggs were scrambled and didn't have much flavor). I'm sure they are trying that meal out but I like my breakfast with eggs of choice, especially with the price pp. read more

The view on the back patio is amazing. It was breezy and beautiful on the lake today. Food was good. Will return if we're ever in the area again. Driving through the campsite made me really want to stay there at some point. Pros: the fries were nice and crunchy. The hash brown casserole was really good and reminded me of Cracker Barrel's. Chicken was cooked good and was easy to get off of the bone. Cons: No vegetarian options. Small portion on the hash-brown casserole and no eco friendly dish ware. Also, the ranch was pretty runny. read more

Beautiful location but mediocre BBQ. Beer selection is all cans. My husband's bbq ribs were very overdone and the bone was disintegrating. My fish sandwich was okay, nice and hot with a little bit of coleslaw, they offered tartar sauce and I should have said yes. The baked/bbq beans were good and the green beans were bland. I'd make sure you get a fresh batch of ribs or maybe ask for a recommendation from the staff. The sides looked good online, would have gotten a few more in retrospect. read more

Brisket was delicious, soft and tender with a nice smoke ring but not too much smoke. Portion size was 3 large pieces. Will be back for the meats. Spicy bbq sauce complimented the meat perfectly. Sides: Vinegar coleslaw is best on sandwiches, not good for a side. Mayo coleslaw was great, not too much mayo just needed a bit of salt. Green beans were very tasty with bacon and onions, must try. Tots were tots, fried up crispy and delicious. Counter style service, lots of seating and a nice big dock with high tops and tables. Workers were all friendly. Nice spot. read more

Food was disgusting! Our family ordered cheese burgers. #1 there is only one size burger even for children. #2 they mix the hamberger meat with something awful it was really the worst burger I've ever tried to eat. #3 it's way over priced! read more

I didn't take a picture bc I got it to go and nothing was presented for photographing. The bbq sandwich was good. They chop the pork up and top it with slaw, so it stays nice and moist and the bun is nicely toasted, so the whole taste and texture profile is nice. The smoked wings were very good, and I can see why they are the featured item along with the bbq pork. The rack of ribs was ok, but they are a little overcooked to the point of falling off the bone. They lacked seasoning as well, so I wouldn't recommend them for rib connoisseurs. The location is very pretty, right by the water, and the restaurant itself is a decent size, and the staff are all very friendly. read more

Brisket was amazingly tender and huge. Smokey fried wings had so much flavor. Highly recommend. And it's inside an RV park and marina on the water... read more

Anything I ever ordered has been excellent! Service is always good. And the view is awesome!

The location is cool, the food not so much. I do not enjoy fall of the bone ribs if that is your preference then this place is for you. I ordered the half chicken it was decent when dipped in the BBQ sauce, alone it lacked seasoning. The beans and potato were good. read more

Bbq tatstes like it's been boiled til almost done, then smoked, litely...we rarely eat here

Rude service. Tiny portions. Three starving chicken fingers on chicken finger plate. Asked for extra ranch and double portion of fries for two plates. Didn't give fries on one order. Double portions looked like happy meal for little kids. We asked for ranch and they charged extra even though we asked for extra in the order. Potato was mush. Guy responded when I asked why they charged extra and only gave us a thimble full of ranch in the order. " we have to make that ranch dressing ". Really. We were dining in. Never will go back , don't recommend. Attitudes by staff and there's better places to go. Expensive ranch. I could have bought a bottle of ranch dressing for what they charged for it and food portions. Order was wrong. Pitiful customer service. Don't go. Never will recommend. It's on the water but it's not worth the cost and the way we were treated. Not friendly. read more

Ribs were amazing 9/10. They served us very quickly. The indoor was also good. I would recommend to anybody.

New management has really taken away from what this place used to be. Terrible customer service.

Right on the lake. In fact you can eat on their back dock over the water. Try their brisket sandwich. Very juicy.

Smokey fried wings!! I had never heard of wings that were smoked then fried to create that crisp crunch. So good and hands down the best wings I've ever had!! Been back many times and also love their pork potato, smoked chicken, potato salad and baked beans. I'm from Decatur with the famous Big Bob Gibsons - and KC BBQ is better! A close tie to the food is the location! Right on Lake Guntersville with a large patio with a perfect view. You can even drive and dock your boat which we often do. Wish they were open later on Sundays; I believe they close at 3:00. I appreciate Yelp for first pointing me to this place! read more

The food here is sooooo good and everyone there is like family! The bbq pulled chicken is my favorite but their burgers can't be beat.

We came here on a Friday night after viewing the bats at Sauta Cave. We'd already eaten dinner, so review is based on the prime location, pies, and few sides. The peanut butter chocolate chip was delicious. Lots of outdoor seating on the lake and friendly staff. The live music was a bonus. We'll head back to try the bbq! You'll think your GPS has led you astray. read more

Good food and a variety of options including sandwiches, bbq and burgers! Prices are reasonable! read more

Great food, this place has definitely gotten better with the new management, I do miss the lemonade they used to have though, I love how this place is right off the river read more

Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!! Love this place, especially the brisket (my favorite). Love it all; beans, slaw... the works. Oh, and they are friendly, too! read more

Do not recommend this establishment at all. Food is subpar. Atmosphere is boring, chaotic, overall miserable. The manager and owner, from what I've witnessed and heard, could care less about their employees. Working a 12-14 hour shift and not being able to take a lunch without getting b****ed at, sometimes only 30 minutes or not even getting one at all while working the 12-14 hour shift... Obviously with 2 whole crews quitting within the last 6 months should tell you something right there about this business. I witnessed thru the front view area as old man, the manager I assume, drop a wing on the floor and throw it back into the fresh wings they were making. Disgusting, this place should be shut down. read more
