Ribs. Pork. Chicken. Brisket. Hell, even sausage. All BBQ has the same three basic ingredients: smoke, meat and time. What makes it different is the amount, consideration and attention to each part of that recipe. That, and some really great bbq sauce, to

We happened upon this restaurant while staying just a minute from it at the Microtel. Wow! What a pleasure! My husband had what he termed, "The best brisket ever, better than San Antonio!" where he had the best up till now and that was in 2000! and I had the BBQ chicken. The food was delicious as were the drinks. We had enough for another meal later. Service by Peter was excellent! We will definitely look up Jim & NIck's during our trips to the South.

This exit is convenient for lunch while traveling south & we were delighted to see Full Moon. It was our first visit but our daughter raves about another location. We really enjoyed the bbq & the collards were great. The staff was friendly & service was fast.The chow chow is a special touch.

3. Ken's Hickory Pit Barbecue

Kenâs BBQ was a good stop on our drive to Birmingham. They offered great BBQ and friendly service. We went during the Alabama game and enjoyed watching it on one of the TVs on the walls. My husband said the ribs could have had more meat on the bones, but he enjoyed the rib sauce better than the sauce on the pork or chicken. Agree with other reviews that the greens and beans are too spicy for kids, but our toddler loved the Mac and cheese! Recommend their sweet potato pie for dessert!
