    Best beef brisket I've ever had Such friendly staff Awesome authentic little restaurant 26 dollars for more than enough food for two and a large drink... incredible prices Definitely eat here 5/5 for me!

    On the way down Highway 231 toward Panama City in the small town of Alford, you have seen the yellow country store as Barfield's. There is an accompaniment now for a hole in the wall BBQ joint known as Michael D's. The owner is from the Chattanooga area and brings a Tennessee flair to his BBQ. His meat is all Hickory smoked and everything is made on site. He does not offer 2 meat plates but he allowed me to sample pork and brisket. I went with the pork. After I told him I love BBQ and my personable BBQ, he gave me a little more in my portion-size. The pork was tender and had a real smoky flavor to it. The potato salad is a mustard base but had a little something extra added to it to give some acidic bite. The beans were really sweet. They had pulled pork, pimentos or bell pepper, and I am guessing brown sugar added to them. There are 4 sauces - mild, tangy tomato; a hotter tomato; mustard; and a white that has a sweet taste. I think I liked the white the best then the mustard. I didn't find much difference between the hot and regular. All sauces are homemade by the owner. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! If you have a hankering for BBQ on 231, give Michael D's a try.

    Growing up in the south I love nothing more than a little barbecue joint that looks like nothing but offers great food. This is that kind of place. Everything was spot on and no one while we were there left as a stranger. My 82 year old mother in law is still talking about how good it was and she can't wait to go back.

    We were headed back to Atlanta and drove past this spot. Made a U and went in. Best pulled pork sandwich and some Brunswick Stew. Best BBQ I've had In a while. Owner Micheal D , was so sweet and spent time getting to know us.

    Best BBQ on your way to the beach!

I entered my order into the app, but didn't yet pay. I simply went in after ordering on the app to ask for assistance in paying for it and told him I had the BOGO I wanted to use. I told him I had entered my order but the BOGO said apply at checkout, so I was asking how to pay and use the BOGO because the total was still for both sandwiches. He took my phone and said you need to add your payment info and it would give him a bar code that he would scan. I did as he instructed and it charged me for both sandwiches never showing a barcode I then asked for my money back and was told he couldn't do that, but I could still use the coupon again for two more days. I said this isn't right and he began to blame me for saying it was my fault because I already punched the order I which I initially showed him my phone and told him that. He got loud telling me it wasn't his fault and I told him it was because if his instructions. Seems very odd that he couldn't have canceled. This whole order had decent customer service and retake the order using the Bogo and also paying at the counter.. we both got loud. My wife was sitting at the table listening and when I walked over to table he then told me to get out and as I turned my sandwich bag hit my water courtesy cup that was in the table and it spilled on the floor and I told him sorry and we left. He literally followed us out of the store acting like he was calling someone. I wrote to Potbelly that I'd be sharing this experience online and on Yelp and you really should have some discussion with your employees about how they treat people (he said he was the assistant manager to boot). I have pictures of the receipt but just see the number 4024 and my name. I also have a picture if your BOGO which is why I went the to begin with. If your company is incapable of doing such a credit reversal and getting an order right it's a poor way of doing business. Will never step foot in that Potbelly's again to be treated with such disrespect.

In an easy-to-get-to location off of 98, Evie Mae's sets the tone from the front door and does it right. The casual vibe leads you to a main counter area where you can browse unique glass bottles sodas, homemade desserts, the menu on the wall and order at the register. The slide over to another counter and pick up your tray of fresh and delicious bbq and sides. Especially loved the self-serve counter featuring their homemade sauces, pickles, peppers, white bread and other bbq accoutrements. Here's what we found: Brisket, ribs and pulled pork - Texan approved Turkey - deemed delicious by this Mississippian Tastiest sides were the baked potato casserole, pinto beans and potato salad. A MUST go if you're anywhere near the Miramar/Destin area.

I think the cost for the food was pricy, The baked beans are spicy And it puts you on the spot to tip $9 (15%) to pick up your own food, seat yourself, fill your own drinks, and clean up after yourself. I would have been a millionaire if it was suggested to tip back in the day when I worked retail and people would spend $100+ where I worked. They do not have a kids menu and seemed put off when I asked if I could buy an extra bun. The only thing going for them is that they have a really cool back porch that you can sit out and eat on overlooking a pond with turtles and bunnies
