    Everything tasted truly amazing. The beans and the brisket sandwich was a 10/10. The fires were a little soggy, not fresh or crispy. The service was great and the store was clean.

    DDD Burger.  Doesn't look like much but it was so much I could barely finish it.

    Well I now have the best burger I have ever had, The DDD, named after Guy Fieri. Patty was thick and cooked to perfection and the candied rib, Lord help me. The sauces were very good. The white sauce blows away anything you can get in North Alabama. You order at a counter and they write your order out on a paper bag. My colleague and I sat outside and I know it was freshly cooked since it took a few minutes to get to us. The inside is unassuming as is the building but we did enjoy the outside seating. The baked beans were also good with shreds of pork mixed in. They had a slight spicy kick to them but was not overwelming. I highly recommend Meat Boss when in the area.

    Stop by on the way to Tampa from Biloxi. Fast service. Nice clean place. There a lady asking every table make sure we are doing ok.

    Wonderful food and wonderful staff! We stopped on the way to do something else and figured we would try it out. My husband had the brisket and I had the pulled pork on a sweet bun. It was mouthwatering! Y'all come eat. You won't regret a single bite.

    We took pictures outside.

    Out order was just right. The service was great. We were greeted by the owner. She was so nice and asked us where we were from. We were visiting relatives in New Orleans and they drove us to Alabama. The restaurant was nice and we had a great time.

    Pulled Brisket Sandwich with Rib Candy. Brisket is perfectly cooked. Rib Candy was good.

    Some of the best bbq I've ever had. The brisket was the right combination of beef and fat with just the right amount of smoke.

    Very delicious BBQ. The smoked wings are amazing. Get there early because the wings don't last long. I highly recommend Meat Boss.

    Gem in the Alabama Bayou…read more I can't say enough about this little gem of a restaurant. From the delicious food, family ambiance and wonderful and friendly owners, Shotgun is a must stop by on your way to or from the gulf . Favorites: Burnt ends, ribs, collards, Mac n cheese, baked beans, peach cobbler. Whew !

    3.5, rounding up to 4 because of great service and the most important thing (the bbq) being good…read more We stopped here for lunch headed home from the gulf. As others have mentioned, it's a bit off the beaten path, but certainly a worthwhile stop if you enjoy bbq. This business has more seating/space inside than it looks like it might outside. We arrived and parked near the entrance in the gravel lot. It looked like they were working on a food truck while we were there. Stepping inside, it was dimly lit but clean. There are some nostalgic kids' games on the tables which provided my dad with lots of entertainment (Hungry, Hungry Hippos anyone?). The service was very kind and friendly and took care to ensure we were comfortable. I thought the prices were a touch high but they probably have to be to stay afloat. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich with two sides, collard greens and smoked mac and cheese. My parents did the same thing, though I don't remember what their sides were. I thought the barbeque pork was really quite solid. It was a huge portion, so large I ultimately wound up taking the top bun off, spearing hunks of pork and putting sauce on them, then tearing off a hunk of bun rather than eating it as a traditional sandwich. The pork was tender but not mushy, not too fatty, and with a pleasant smoke flavor. The bun was nice and soft too. Definitely recommend the bbq! The sweet and slightly smoky thick bbq sauce was a great accompaniment. I liked the mac and cheese on first bite but as I kept eating it something about the smoke taste just seemed off to me. It became more and more chemical-y and artificial tasting to me, and by the time I was halfway done I was over it. I also was pretty meh on the collard greens, but to be honest I'm not normally a huge fan of them anyway so YMMV. They were a nice texture at least. Overall, solid bbq meat and great service. They're worth a shot if you're in the area.

    What a great lunch spot off Old Shell Road ... we Started with the deviled eggs and fried pork…read moreskins. But the "old Shell plate" was the highlight. The BBQ sauce had a perfect tang to it - just like I love! The door was revolving with customers picking up rib orders the whole time we were there. Arthur Green has got a great location and Delicious food. Get the Ribs! Everyone else seemed to be getting them today ! Can't wait till he has the cream cheese sweet potato pie! -see pic

    I tried Bay Barbecue today. I wanted to order online from their website but unfortunately they…read moredon't have the website set up. No problem. I looked on Yelp and called in my order. They are a bbq place so of course I ordered the rib plate. The menu I saw said it came with 2 sides but when I was on the phone the man said the plate came with vinegar based coleslaw. I don't normally do coleslaw but I didn't want to complicate things so I went with it. That completed my order so I headed down to pick it up. I wasn't sure of the atmosphere of this place since it was my first time ordering. I got there and it seemed like a cozy little place to eat. There appeared to be limited parking. There is space in the back and on the side. I parked on the side of the building. When I was approaching the front of the place I saw that one of the windows had been knocked out. There was glass laying below the window. Also, the part of the deck right before you walk in the door was a little unstable. Not sure if this was apart of the ambiance but it didn't deter me. Anyway my order was waiting when I got to the cashier. The ride home smelled delightful. The first thing I did when I got home was try the coleslaw. It didn't look all too appealing but it was coleslaw. Coleslaw in my estimation is not a food that is aesthetically appealing. Anyway, the coleslaw was edible to me even though I'm not a coleslaw person. I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't like coleslaw. Next up, the ribs. They looked amazing. They had some little burnt parts that make it authentic bbq. I should've tried them without the sauce but I poured the sauce on first. The sauce and the ribs were excellent. The sauce was a mustard based sauce and it was delicious. The weren't especially juicy since they were babyback ribs but the taste was excellent. And the French bread and the little onions added a nice little touch to the plate. All in all I'll give my experience 4 stars. I wasn't quite sure what was going on with the building. Was it broken into or not? That did take a bit from my score but the food and service aspect of it was top notch. Go to Bay Barbecue. You won't be disappointed.
