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!

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!

It's a humble restaurant, the inside isn't going to wow you - cabin like appearance and very simple seating. And you can smell the smoke as you pull up. Nothing new here in ages other than the very humble banquet hall that has just popped up. Your mind will drift back to an earlier time where a rail side bbq restaurant pops up to feed the locals. I honestly can't imagine ever going back to the big city for a "culinary experience" as long as I have eating options like this. Bon Appetit / happy eating, yelpers!

We came into town to buy a car and didn't finish the paperwork until about 1:30. By the time we…read morewere done, we were absolutely starving. We pulled into Papa Dubi's around 1:45, not realizing the kitchen closes at 2:00. We apologized and said we'd come back another time because we didn't want to be "those people", but the staff insisted it was no problem at all. That alone made a great first impression. We ordered quickly and went with the Cajun Sampler--Red Beans and Rice, Gumbo, Chicken & Sausage Jambalaya, and Crawfish Sauce over Rice. We also added hushpuppies and boudin. Every single thing was spot‑on delicious. Each sampler dish had the perfect balance of rice to main ingredients, and the flavors were rich, authentic, and comforting. The boudin was the real deal, and the hushpuppies were just as good. Brandon was our server, and he couldn't have been more friendly or accommodating, especially considering how close it was to closing time. For being this far from Louisiana, Papa Dubi's is absolutely doing it right. We'll definitely be back.

Everyone was super friendly, shout out to our server Brandon. Friendly and willing to engage in my favorite activity (small talk!) lol. To the food. I have an extensive list of food allergies and intolerances. So I will always review a place where I can find a good meal and not get sick or worse. I had the burger po'boy and it was great! Perfect ratio of burger to bread. The fries were pretty standard Sysco fair but I like their seasoned fries so all good. Hubs had the catfish lunch meal and he enjoyed it. Ordered the boy the crab cake meal and he loved it. Also got the 4 sides option as part of our to-go order - gumbo, red beans & rice, jambalaya, and etouffee. I hate soupy rice & beans, so I was happy to see that these were done right. They also tasted great. I wasn't able to try the other items (pesky seafood allergy) but they also looked good and smelled delicious. Definitely see us making a day trip in the future to eat here again.

They typically have a couple different pulled pork options, such as pineapple habanero and maple…read morehickory. The pineapple habanero is my go-to; super flavorful! You get a choice of spicy or regular sauce. The spicy is served in a little container; the regular is squirted on. Plate includes pulled pork and 2 sides for $8.00. The sides are where they lose a star. Potato salad is the best... go for it. Baked beans... the serving is so small, don't bother... and it's nothing special. Smoked Mac and cheese... steer clear! A messy gray, tasteless mush. I don't know how they can serve that mess. For a great smoked Mac and cheese, go to P.B's BBQ on Jordan... you will thank me. Day-old-tasting roll served with the plate. Pork is great, potato salad is delightful.

They have a really spicy sauce, pineapple habanero, for when I'm in the mood. Their smoky, cheesy macaroni and other side selections are very good also -- so Doctor BBQ is not just a meat truck! Always a pleasure to visit their truck! Where will they be next? They have a Facebook page. They can be found at local Breweries, at the Redstone NASA food corral, and other North Alabama locations!
