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!

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 sauce - I am a bbq sauce maker and connoisseur. So the Brush Fire is the bomb, it's their original sauce- it's not as spicy as it sounds but has a kick and is vinegar based. It's thick and sticks to the protein. The Swine Wine I tried it's a basic BBQ Sauce vinaigrette and it's good too. So the food I ordered. Let's start with the pulled Chicken-dry, tasteless and they forgot the pull part because I received a whole chicken breast with a few pieces ripped off to cover up the fact that I was given the last piece of crap for the day and no time or attention to detail was given. Pulled chicken NEEDS dark meat! I drove all the way there because I wanted to order fried okra and it needed to stay crispy. Well it was greasy, no breading and one piece was dry and bitter ... THE WORST OKRA EVER!!! I have photos to back me up. The dining room was filthy as well, that turned me off and I nearly walked out. Mac and cheese was ok. Very oily and charred nothing to brag about. I'd like to believe it's homemade but it taste like most of the other BBQ restaurants here. Texas toast is an option, but not free. It's thick and dry. If it's warm, taste good. Good for a sandwich. Vegetarians/Vegans- any special diets, not much for you here. The greens and green beans are filled with pork. Coleslaw has mayo and not many people like it, basically, you can get bread and a simple salad.... You know like the rest of Huntsville I'm unsure if I'd get treated any better or had a better o stall experience if I ever go back. If so I'll update. Perhaps they had an off day but it was way too off to spend that kind of money. Don't know if I'll go back

Ever on the hunt for the best bbq, we found some time to try Donnie's Friday afternoon. Open only…read moreThursday - Saturday, this little carryout spot is very much off the beaten path. In a blink and you'll miss it structure (it almost looks like one of those prebuilt sheds you could get at Lowes) in a residential part of New Hope, Donnie's offers traditional bbq meals with a wide selection of sides and desserts. My parents and I got two pulled pork meals, both with macaroni and cheese as a side. I got sweet potato casserole with mine while my parents opted for the hash brown casserole as their second side. Each plate was served with a small, soft white roll. We had banana pudding and chocolate fudge pie for dessert. Drinks include canned Pepsi products and bottled Milos tea. The young man taking orders was polite and helpful. We stood around by our car while we waited and then took our food to the nearby park to eat at a picnic table. There's nowhere to sit and eat at Donnie's, which is fine - just something to keep in mind. Just be ready to make the drive home or head to the park like we did. Overall, the food was okay. The weakest link was the sweet potato casserole, as it didn't have a ton of flavor. The bbq itself was next up -- a decent smoke flavor and texture, but unfortunately pretty dry. The sauce was slightly sweet and very tangy. Rolls were storebought but were a nice enough addition; I always like a little bread with my bbq. The macaroni and cheese also wasn't super flavorful, but was good enough -- just didn't stand out much. I'm confident the chocolate fudge pie was not homemade but it actually tasted pretty good: kind of Oreo-ish crust and a sweet, slightly-denser-than-pudding chocolate filling. The best two things were the hash brown casserole (very cheesy and creamy) and the banana pudding - made with real vanilla pudding, plentiful Nilla wafers, and nice, ripe bananas. Those two items are keepers. Overall, it's a worthwhile experience to check off if you're dedicated to trying out all the bbq the wider Huntsville area has to offer, like me. Personally, it's not a particular favorite, but I have certainly had much, much worse and would encourage you to visit and form your own opinion.

It was rarely a family event when we didn't make it to Tate's to pick up pulled pork. If you want a sweet sauce, this is not really your place. This is truly a hole in the wall, and the hours are limited, and not always followed (the only reason it doesn't get a 5 for me), but the smoke flavor is better than most of the big name places. It was so nice to enjoy our 3 pounds we brought home and had on sandwiches for the fourth. It tasted like home. To the owners of Tate's-I have never found another place that does it quiet like you do. This is the best. Only advice-call ahead! This way you don't miss them! Hope to see you next time I am "home."

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.
