THE PIT BBQ
Barbecue restaurant
👍👍 Even though they are Alabama fans(hey, you can't be perfect!), this is the best barbecue I've had! Very few barbecue places have a meat, sauce, beans and slaw that I like! Somehow, this place pulls off the trifecta! Don't forget their bacon, egg and cheese sandwich!

Saw’s BBQ – Southside
Restaurant
👍👍 OUR FAVORITE! We stop here and Dreamland every time we’re in the area. This spot is my husbands favorite for the white sauce that’s on the chicken. It’s truly delicious. The banana pudding is to die for.

😠 I’ve been to Costa twice. The first time, there was an elderly woman taking orders. She had great communication and she was very helpful. That played a big part in why I came back today 1/6/20; today was totally different. Red head lady behind the counter had very poor customer service, I was not gr...

A-Wings
Chicken wings restaurant
🫤 It’s trash. These people don’t use any actual sauces in the traditional sense of a wing place. Instead they take bottles of “sauce” and possibly thin them out and put them on top of the wings. The wings themselves are serviceable, but if you order “teriyaki” wings, I’m sure you wouldn’t expect a “...

BBQ Sam’s (B'ham)
Barbecue restaurant
👍👍 The food was good. It tasted like backyard BBQ. It was good and hot. I had ribs, corn casserole and Mac and cheese. The corn casserole was delicious. The Mac and cheese was not my taste. It was overall a great experience.
