I stopped by the Smokehouse Pit BBQ today and decided to get the fried chicken liver basket with…read morefried green tomatoes. I was not disappointed at all. I know a lot of folks do not care for chicken livers but if you do, you must try these. They were cooked perfectly, and the fried green tomatoes never disappoint. If you are in a hurry, be patient. Two things to know, #1, there might not be more than a couple servers working and more than likely they are busting their buns waiting on tables, #2, most of the food that you order will be cooked as it's ordered. Do not expect to get your order 5 minutes after it's placed. But, it's worth the wait to me. Not everyone agrees, but this is my review. The staff has ALWAYS been super nice and attentive as much as possible. I don't get upset if the server is not standing by waiting to fill my drink or get me an extra napkin. I have seen people get upset with the server and in most cases, it's not their fault. Be patient if you order fried chicken, it will not be ready in 5 minutes. I'm just sayin,,,,,,

By the time you get up there to pay and get your drink cup, the food is already coming up. I ordered the pull pork plate with 2 sides and a drink for $11! Can't beat that price. The fries came out hot, the pork was juicy, and the greens flavorful. Doesn't come with sauce on it but there's plenty of options on the dressing table to pick from. The only downside is the parking situation... it's insanity, with folks here in work trucks, cars, motorcycles, you name it. The line just to get in the door can be long, but the staff does a great job of getting people in & out within the time of their lunch break. Pack your patience & give them a try!

I know people throw out places like Texas, the Carolinas and Tennessee as barbecue meccas, but I stand by my claim that some of the best barbecue comes from the great state of Alabama and Fatman's is great proof of my claim. I walked in and there was a line, but it moved fast and the helpless taking our our orders were friendly. The inside is pretty much low on ambiance, but the food is the real star here. Since it was packed inside, I got my food to-go and ate at a nearby park. I had the pulled pork plate with camp stew and potato salad. Everything was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely recommend here and I give it five stars.

The real deal! Food is always awesome. Service is fast and the building is clean. Get over hereread more

She was extremely funny and personable. We were some of the last people to leave and by the end of the night she ended up chatting with us for a while.

The ribs were larger than expected with a tangy vinegar based sauce that made them delicious flavorful. The smoked sausage was just as good without being too dry. The chicken was juicy and we'll shredded, and the spicy rib wrap was well balanced with the portions that had some heat to the coleslaw due to jalapenos on it The sides were very good with the beans being the best option. The mac and cheese should have been the hero and while they were cheesy they lacked that favor you'd expected from a BBQ joint. The potato salad was decent, but nothing to write home about. Honestly the fried okra was surprisingly the second best as the sweet coleslaw underperformed Overall, the meats made the trip worth it, the vibe was amazing as it had that laid back feel and the service was great! They don't sell hard liquor so went with beer, but the selections we limited. I'd still recommend trying them out if you are ever in town. Cool spot that makes you feel like you're in the South!

Is it becoming harder to source the quality tender ribs or are the quality ribs becoming more scarce or inaccessibly expensive? Whatever the case may be, things took a back step this time and the ribs did not have the smoked taste as I have experienced before. Did the ribs need to be on a little longer? I ordered three slabs and large sides of potato salad, baked beans, and coleslaw. Surprisingly, the baked beans were the weakest of the three. The potato salad was markedly better and the coleslaw was the best for my tastes. I still maintain Brenda's is the place to get great smoked ribs, but this weekend was not their best effort. Brenda's is the best place to get your bones in Montgomery and I take them back with me to NYC because they're that good. 4.0 stars!

Not bad at all considering how packed it was. This definitely seems to be the spot folks go to for a night out. The place was packed and lively, and the live music was on point! We really enjoyed listening to the band and watching them perform while we ate. The music and atmosphere were definitely the highlight of the night. As for the food and drinks, they were pretty mediocre. We tried the catfish and grits, shrimp and grits, and blackened chicken Alfredo pasta. Nothing was bad, but nothing really stood out either. One thing to keep in mind, it is LOUD inside. The live music made it pretty difficult to have a conversation at the table.

We were the first customers in the restaurant, yet 8 other customers who came in after us were served before us including carry outs and door dash After waiting about 15 minutes, it was obvious our order had been completely forgotten. I had to go to the counter. They may have forgotten about us, but they certainly remembered to charge us for the meal. When our food finally arrived, it was cold. To make matters worse, the tables were nasty and clearly hadn't been properly cleaned. Poor service, cold food, and an unclean dining area. We will never set foot in this place again.
