Rib Bones has the absolute best variety for lunch; from ribs to sandwiches, and always a great selection of vegetables. And, their tea or lemonade is the best! Unless you want Asian or Italian, this is a great choice for dining out.
5. Merrill's BBQ
Reviewed By Mirandi W
The drive thru is convenient and you can call ahead and pick it up at the window. I have only eaten the BBQ Baked Potato and really liked it! The service is friendly enough, although I did get a smarty that was kind of condescending to me one time when I asked for sour cream and she said, "It comes as a whole: potato, cheese, bbq, butter, and sour cream, so it already in there." That was true enough, but it was the way she said it, like I was stupid for even asking. Not a very customer service friendly attitude.

If you don't want to go to trouble of grilling, smoking, and putting together a barbecue meal yourself, then there's a place you need to go, or call in a take out order......Pruett's on Rainbow Drive in Gadsden, AL. You can get directions, hours of operation, phone numbers, etc by entering the name in Trip Advisor. We recently had a family gathering and fed them with pulled pork, baked beans (outstanding), cole slaw, buns, lemon ice box pie and chocolate pie, and tea, from Pruetts. Everyone loved all the food. A lot easier than spending time grilling or smoking yourself, and the food is like you did it yourself........or better!Call ahead with your order, and if for a large crowd, give them a day or so advance notice. You will not regret your purchase!

I needed to be back in Alabama and specifically Gadsden this weekend so as always no visit is complete without stopping at Pruett's. I had a wonderful meal Friday night in a very crowded restaurant and another meal for lunch on Saturday and once again it was crowded. See a pattern??? Crowded. Do I mind? Not at all. I would wait however long it takes to get the quality of food I get here. The thing is even with a crowd I never have to wait for an extreme amount of time. They know how to manage and have the ability of making things run smooth. The other thing in addition to outstanding food is the outstanding service. Yes even in a crazy busy restaurant the service is still superior. Not just from my server but I observe and I see it from all servers. Thank you Pruett's for having such a wonderful place and for making your customers feel so appreciated and loved. I spread the good news about your restaurant everywhere I travel.
