The food was great, and the ambience a bit different from your normal barbecue place. They had…read moreother things on the menu besides barbecue, but the barbecue was definitely the feature act. One piece of advice, is avoid the baked beans. They're a bit overly sweet. And to me baked beans should have some bacon in them or something like that. These disappointed a bit. But the barbecue is phenomenal. And to be honest, the thing that really stole the show was at noon they play the national anthem and everybody stands to face the flag, I love the patriotic atmosphere and you can tell that this place is run by people who care. Not do they only put pride in their food, but you can tell that they have pride in their country and I'm coming back just for that reason alone!

I don't think that I have ever had Boston butt/pork shoulder with a pink smoke ring this expansive…read more Kudos to the pit master manning the smoker. This is the best BBQ pork that I've eaten at a restaurant, succulent, delicate, smokey, flavorful, esthetically appealing, and it makes me wish that we had something like this in the Atlanta area. I love fried okra, when it's cooked properly, and with that comes critical feedback; their version reminds me of how my grandmother made her fried okra (and that's the standard I use to measure all others by.) The mixed greens had a slight hint of smoky ham hock, probably could have benefitted from a little more salt, but I understand that some people have to watch their sodium intake so I bet the restaurant leaves that up to the customer. Our server was a delight, very smiley and cheery, welcoming, etc. Inside, it feels like they have preserved history and married it to classy modernity. The next time I visit Albertville, this will be on the to-do list. Keep up the good work, folks!

After I received my sandwich, the big man (owner?) asks people who came in after me If they want a sample. What? I did not get a sample. He told the kid who helped me to get a sample. The sample had probably half the meat as my sandwich, generous amount. Sauces are yummy but not special. Spicy is tangy. Sweet heat tastes like natural ketchup. Love supporting the lesser known guys. I would come again.

First I noticed they cut the ribs and put them back on the grill. There goes the juices!! Second was the overwhelming smokey flavor that kills the flavor of the meat. Don't get me wrong, I like a good smoke flavor but this was way too much. The rub wasn't anything to write home about and needed something to offset that smoke. Then the sauces come into play. The mild was very ketchup'ee and the sweet heat was less then par. The sides are grocery store deli quality and that's not a compliment where I'm from. All in all it reminded me of the first time I cooked ribs on my own when I was a teenager, wasn't impressed then and wasn't impressed here either.
