Great little place, food was amazing. Staff was awesome and very sweet. The building is a little dated and could use some TLC . The A/C wasnt up to par as well but it was definitely not a deal breaker. Lunch was fabulous

I had the plain smoked sausge sandwich - the best sausage I have ever had! My hubby had the one meat stuffed baked potato, and the brisket was lean and tasty. Worth the stop, but check the restaurant days open and hours before you go.

Great food and great people! This two meat plate was delicious. I would highly recommend this spot if ever in the area.

One of my favorite spots to eat in the city. Great barbecue! The meat doesn’t even need the sauce. This place screams Huntsville from the time you get through the doors. I recommend it to anyone looking for good food and great vibes!

Out of sight north of downtown Huntsville, we’d never have found the place had our friends not brought us. Being obscure did not adversely impact the patronage!! In fact, it was busier than most food places in town!Parking under trees and walking across pretty grassy spot, we savored aromas as we walked up to the place and noted the ample covered outdoor eating area overlooking the adjacent lot. We stood in line only a short time, checking out the posted menu. 1 - 2 or 3 meat with 2 sides ranged from 9-13$. I got brisket, slaw and potato salad. Our friends got jalapeño sausage with brisket and chicken, pinto beans and slaw. 2 different BBQ sauces were brought to the table with our plates. I preferred the more vinegary one in the yellow squirt bottle, and Mr Bill liked the other in the red squirt bottle. But, NO NEED to use any sauce — this meat was absolutely melt in your mouth. Sides were gooood. White bread was provided. This hole in the wall closes when they run out of food, just like those fancy ones in Austin, so phone first to make sure they’re open!!Inexpensive, good old southern BBQ.

We needed a catering order for our wedding for 130 people and very glad we choose this family owned Bar B Q restaurant. Came in town for the day from Houston to try it out and we were very pleased with the food, and the owner personally came out and helped us place the catering order on the spot. Everything went perfect and everyone loved the food! We had Brisket, chicken, potato salad and all the fixin’s and everything tasted delicious and perfect. Anytime we’re in the area, we now know where to go to get our family owned Bar B Q fix!

I was a little late and missed out on the brisket. The sausage and ribs were excellent. Sausage had nice snap and ribs were cooked perfectly. I'll be back.

We were lucky enough to find this hole in the wall!! Amazing!!! Fantastic food!!! Incredible service. Just an outstanding experience for my entire family!! Thank you!!!

Great food at a great price. Staff was super friendly and helpful. The lady who brings the food to you is a sweetheart.

This is by far some of the best bbq I've ever had. Its certainly the only place you're going to get this huge plate of meat for $13! I'm definitely coming back everytime I drive from Houston to Dallas.
