Another Vote for Jim's - we use them to cater, always good and sides are a plus. Never any left.

Wouldn't get the bbq from Johnny Ray's, but their coconut cream pie was unbelievably good the last time I had it.

I worked with Libby (owner) for a couple of years. She is one smart lady and highly driven. She left a bright career in IT management to do BBQ. That is passion. If you have not tried their smoked Mac and Cheese you are missing something.
Have had it. Pretty doggone good. I love her strawberry cake, too. Any good BBQ HAS to have a great sauce. Good BBQ should be able to stand on its own without anything extra if it's moist and flavorful.

Sam's BBQ in Montgomery is great. I always get the combo plate. Chopped pork topped with medallions of smoked sausage and side of shoestring fries with a sweet tea.
Smokin' S in Wetumpka is also great.
Sweet Creek Farmer's market on Hwy. 231 just south of Montgomery has fantastic ribs. Best ones locally IMO. No sauce needed but I dab just a spec on there for a little extra pop.
Used to love Twix-n-Tween in Centerville back in the day but haven't been there in years so don't know what's up there anymore.
Rendezvous in Memphis was nothing to write home about.
Best thing about Johnny Ray's was the lemon pie. Way better than the BBQ.

Man I forgot all about Twix n Tween. Used to love that place. Everytime we went to the army barn we stopped by the Twix n Tween.
They're closed now. I reckon been closed for a long time

I’ve eaten at saws. I guess I went on a bad day cause I thought it was overrated bad. Seemed to me it was just the in spot to be You didn't miss the mark. Saw's is bad overrated for pulled pork..... bout a 5 out of 10 on the meat itself. You gotta cover it with sauce. But when someone says Saws they are typically talking about the Juke Joint or Soul Kitchen.... where they got things like Boudin. And they got Oysters N' Greens and Catfish. There are different menu items at all three locations. Burger might be the best thing on the menu. I eat there about once a week. It doesn't matter that I think I could cook BBQ in a crockpot better. I'm a fan I just know what to order.

sweet creek is overrated ...it's just like Peach Park in Clanton, too much tourist hype, way over priced on everything, mediocre quality. we stopped going when the one woman there, (who seems to be in charge) was a total jackass when we wanted a whole box of tomatoes..

We enjoy New Market BBQ for the pork and ribs. They also make great homemade cake
I worked with Libby (owner) for a couple of years. She is one smart lady and highly driven. She left a bright career in IT management to do BBQ. That is passion. If you have not tried their smoked Mac and Cheese you are missing something. If that is the place right by the creek it is sure enough some good BBQ. I remember when they opened and I don't know if they are the original owners or what..... 20 years ago they would sure enough put a good BBQ sandwich on you. .

New Market BBQ is the one by the creek and bridge. Great people. I don't know how long they've been there but we've been going for at least eight years.
One place no one has mentioned, because it's not there anymore, was Thomas Pit BBQ on US 72 in Madison. I enjoyed all the meats, the creamy tater salad was fantastic and if you went at lunch or on Saturday to have something for Sunday, you better be ready to sit in line for a long time.
Hate that they closed.

One of my favorites is the SmokeHouse in millbrook. The new owners now offer a TwixnTween bbq sauce there. The original Smokehouse was great. I haven't eaten there since it was rebuilt after the fire.
