    Pulled Pork sandwich with Sweet Potato Fries!
    J.Money L.

    A group of 20 of us missionaries were brought by locals to this spot. And I would say, the food was so good! Everyone enjoyed what they had! My pulled pork and sweet potato fries were especially fantastic. Coming from out of state to eat good food is always a plus in my book. If you're ever in Japser and want to drive a little bit into Oakman, DO NOT HESITATE!!

    Menu

    Very good food, large portions, and very reasonable prices. I must've caught them in the busy time after church crowd, the food took about 45 minutes to make. Nothing fancy about the dining area, but the food is worth it

    All of my food was overcooked and not seasoned at all! My husband's food was just gross! The best thing on both plates was the Texas toast.

Laughter and jokes,…read moreeven gave a sample to let us know we came to the right spot after learning it was our first time here. We had just left Dreamland Bbq hungry and disappointed with ribs that tasted bland and boiled. Archibalds ribs were full of flavor, tender and had a nice vinegar sauce, he assured me they were Gluten free and I ordered Beans and potato salad as well. The beans were good but a little sweet for me, and the potato salad was ok as well. My spouse had the Whiting and Fried okra which was not gluten free but said they were really great! We left full and happy! Great prices too, very reasonable!

    Archibald's is coming to Birmingham, so I decided to try the original over lunch today…read more I ordered the small mixed plate with ribs and pork. It was a TON of food. Nobody needs the large mixed plate (unless you're sharing it?). The ribs were salty with just a kiss of smoke. Far superior to Dreamland and fall-off-the-bone tender, I thought they were alright. They were moist and very porky. The chopped pork was watery with very little flavor. I wasn't a fan of the bbq sauce either- it mostly water with flecks of yellow mustard and heavy on the black pepper. I'm certain it was just a small container of their mop sauce used in the pit to moisten and flavor the meat as it smokes. Coleslaw was fine. Zesty with a mayonnaise base. There was the distinct bite of dill pickles. I think they just use leftover dill pickle juice to moisten it. The star of the show was the potato salad. Zingy with plenty of mustard it perfectly cut the richness of the fatty meats.

The staff here was friendly and engaging and I can say that both the woman at the food station and the woman at the checkout were great. The customers were also friendly. This place had a great vibe. I ordered the chicken here and for my sides, I went with the potato wedges and onion rings. All were excellent. Prices were in line with what you would expect. The half chicken with two sides was somewhere around thirteen dollars and a large iced tea was I believe two dollars and fifty cents. Robertson BBQ is just about ten minutes off of the highway and it is definitely worth the detour. All in all, Robertson BBQ is a fantastic place for barbecue and I would definitely recommend it and I will give it five stars.

It is a short scenic detour off I-20 and well worth the time. The setting is an old gas station and the seating area is small. But the food is all the reviews say it is. Delicious! We had pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, onion rings and homemade strawberry cake. All was very tasty. Others inour group said the ribs, chicken and grilled cheese were equally good. I like to find the out of the way 'mom & pop' spots on our travels. We give Robertsons BBQ 5 stars for food and 4 stars for seating capacity. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

The building is classic roadhouse style--totally unpretentious with its sign and adverts plaster on the walls. The interior is the same, open seating and seats at the bar. The menu has broadened over the years, rather than just ribs, white bread and pudding, you can get a pork sandwich and chicken with a limited number of sides (the Mac and cheese is superior). The franchised Dreamlands are so different with a plethora of choices, more to the liking of the suburban south. If you like that, go for it. For my money, you can't beat the original. The ribs are charred perfectly and the service is old time South, friendly and helpful. You immediately feel at ease with everything and everyone around you. Take out is available--actually this place is just minutes off the highway. But a whole another world at the same time.

Our server was the sweetest. She helped my picky son decide what he would like, and she was spot on. The only thing I didn't like were the ribs which is weird. Just a tad too dry for me. I DID like the Chicken and my son got the sausage and I think Brisket....Anyways, we will go back next time we are in town for a game. Roll Tide.
