Well folks! I think we have tried almost all of the surrounding eateries within the Hamilton…read moreAlabama area. As I have mentioned before, there are a limited amount of sit down restaurants in this vicinity. As a dedicated "Yelper", all of the reviews on multiple platforms have been reviewed and re-evaluated for possible exciting new discoveries. Interviewing and requesting feedback from the locals is a consistent way of finding these treasures as well. We may have resigned ourselves to the possibility that we may never find all of the criteria that make for a successful dining experience here in Guin, Alabama. Delicious fresh food; attentive, timely service; and a comfortable dining atmosphere. Everything else is just extra! Hambone's BBQ has none of those things. The front entrance has no signage and you can't be 100% sure you are here. The inside reminds me of going to the American Legion with Uncle Bob when I was a kid. The mismatch furniture and odd decor is illuminated by an early 70's fluorescent lighting and I can't see any design theme at all. I get the sense we decorated from someone's yard sale. The food was nothing to write home about. I ordered the #78. This was a thick sliced baked potato that has been (supposedly) deep fried, sprinkled with shredded cheese, cubed brisket pieces added with a tiny bit of sour cream, bacon, and a whole lot of pickled Jalapeños (Like covered with Jalapeños). Lisa and Mom had the same thing but with BBQ pulled pork and Aunt K. went with the #78 with chicken. Uncle ordered the pulled pork sandwich and the boys had the ribs, and catfish. I did like the ribs! Very tender and tasty when you slather it with sauce. But, unfortunately, nothing else seemed to work. I don't know what to say about the #78 except, KUDOS for trying, I guess. I'm sorry but, none of us enjoyed it. Reports from the family came in as the following: The chicken was dry and needed seasoning, the catfish was chewy on the edges, dry towards the center, with a distinct fishy taste, and definitely needed some additional seasoning. Uncle was not impressed. The smoked meat, itself, was well prepared (as average smoked BBQ goes). Mom was disappointed. The service was fine. There were 5-6 teenagers serving the few customers in on a Saturday evening and checked on us frequently. They were very polite and our food came out fairly quickly. I will say, as a side note, the drive through was pretty steady. We were a bit surprised to be greeted by the owner (Greg) sporting his tattered overalls and ball cap. He sat and joined us for a bit of conversation during our meal. If you decide to visit this place on your way through, I would recommend hitting the drive through and definitely choose the ribs, and ask for extra sauce. Sorry Greg. Billy P.

One of my favorite spots in town. This seemingly abandoned decommissioned former gas station/…read moregarage puts out some solid BBQ. It's nothing to look at, if you drove past you'll likely question the legitimacy of my review. Upon entering you'll likely question your decision to stop. The interior is not nice. This place is an absolute dive. Watch where you step a half a dozen tables crammed in a tiny dining area. They serve BBQ, burgers sandwiches and they have a meat and 3 lunch for 6.99. A very good value on good quality food. One of my coworkers was brave enough to go with me today. The others were too afraid based on the appearance of the facility. I had the half smoked chicken with "hot" white sauce, okra, blackeyed peas and greens. It was fantastic. The smoked chicken here is moist and fall off the bone tender with a beautifully smoked skin. It's lightly based in a red sauce and accompanied by a white sauce hot or regular. If hot is an option I generally go with it. The sides were quite good as well. The okra was freshly prepared and crispy, the greens were well seasoned and the peas were as good if not slightly better than the greens. My coworker got the grilled chicken tenders with macaroni salad, green beans and something else. He enjoyed his meal as well. I prefer this place to a more popular meat and 3 in town. Family owned and operated. Apparently the owner has a stable of young collegiate baseball players as there is a rather large display paying homage to his children and their accomplishments to the left of the counter where you order. The owner and a patron were discussing their respective accomplishments and baseball careers next to us and it was hard not to hear. I like that. It's a small dive but he knew everyone that walked in the door with exception to us out of towners. It's a must stop at least once for me whenever I'm in town.

But we decided to eat inside and the owners came and chatted with us and even offered us free brownies- they were out of this world delicious. We ordered a BBQ plate(meat & 3).

Their BBQ sauces were really good. They are famous for their chicken salad. We bought a pint and ate it when we got home. It was very good. Perfect Southern Chicken Salad.

I was disappointed that you could not go inside because of their fear of covid, but, I was able to order and they brought it outside to me. I ordered a half rack of ribs, 1 pound of Brisket, and 1 pulled pork plate with potato salad and baked beans. Back home (South LA) we have a BBQ/Smokehouse we eat from and the brisket is the BEST Ive found so far! But... Glenns ribs are by FAR the BEST Ive had from a restaurant! The taste, the tenderness & I really like the bbq sauce! The brisket was ok. But like I said, once you taste one thats way better ...well... it is, what it is. I am not trying to sound rude or mean, just always love being honest. Someone else may think his is the BEST brisket and thats great! I hope they do! Brisket was $20. bucks a pound. I bought a pound plus a half of rack of ribs. (Ribs were $25. a slab) Now, the pulled pork? Excellent! Very well cooked & even better with the sauce! The baked beans... were the absolute BEST! I wished I had more! The potato salad, was really good too! All around, I give this place a 5 STAR and recommend them to anyone to try at least once! We will order again before we head back home, Im sure. Thank You Glenns BBQ! GREAT JOB! Great service! Very fast & VERY friendly workers!

It actually had way less cheese and topping than the first time I ordered the week before. That time, I just asked for the extra cheese, and got it. I guess the second time I ordered from the owner, I know he's trying to make every dollar count. Anyway, a very tasty pizza, I ordered pepperoni and sausage, wish they had Garlic, but they don't. If you haven't tried it I'd definitely go. Oh yeah, the front door is sticky, you have to pull real hard. They should fix that door, my friends and I almost didn't go in first time we went. Luckily they answered the phone to let us know they were open. Silly thing that door, but it almost cost them business.

You search for the kind of places that make you question if they're even open or not. If they are, you're in for a treat. Such a place residues in the small city of Fayette, Alabama (pop. less than 5,000/less than an hour above University of Alabama). Here the paper towel rolls are on the table and the tablecloths are plain and stain resistant. Cups and plates are styrofoam, utensils are plastic. And the food, well you already know after reading thus far. Now I'll go ahead and mention that they do serve a few non-bbq related items; burgers, ham sandwiches, pork chops, and a variety of pies (by the slice). To these, I cannot speak. My order was that of a marathon runner just crossing the finish line. Large pork sandwich plate with okra, green beans, mac n cheese, and sweet tea to wash it all down. I was there with family, but their words and laughs soon faded as I took bite after delicious bite from my plate. I can't prove it, but I am sure there was a period of food coma blindness where my eyes were closed so I could give full attention to the savory meat with its molasses and brown sugar kissed sauce coming across my palette like a holiday gift to my tastebuds. Needless to say I refilled my cup a few times (including for the road) and that proved to be all the dessert I required. I am not in this area often, but I promise that any time I am Lisa's will be a required stop.

I suppose if you call yourself #1 and have tons of plaques and trophies everywhere then your food better be damn good. The sides were not great and barely good. The baked beans with meat was the standout, the coleslaw (vinegar with lite mayo) was good and the potato salad was a bland, tasteless mayonnaise mess. Overall sides I tried were C-/D. The three meats: outstanding ribs, weird pulled brisket (not listed that way on the menu) has a flavoring that was nice for 2-3 bites but then I didn't want anymore, and the dry pulled pork, although not grizzly or fatty, was not great and barely good. In addition, there's only two sauces and one of them was very honey based, and you could taste it the other was hot, but not the kind of hot that hit your tongue right away but sort of last in your throat and lingers. All in all I wouldn't be rushing back here for anything that I had with the exception of the ribs, which again or the outstanding dish
