Dreamland Barbecue

Big Bob Gibson Barbecue

but this is only if you like barbecue ...

Huntsville menus online .. just keep in mind that it may not be what you have in New Jersey ... but they do have a Hooters ... and a Landry's Seafood House, which looks to be quite nice ...

Perhaps I went on an off day, but I wasn't all knocked off my feet by Big Bob Gibson's...and neither was my gf. That's not to say it's bad - far from it. The expectations I had were probably too high. IMHO, Whitt's (in various Alabama towns) does a better pork sammich, and Hog Heaven (not in Alabama) does a better white bbq sauce. If you hit Whitt's, the loaded bbq potato is heaven in a styrofoam box.

I'll be hitting Dreamland next time I get to Alabama...supposed to be excellent.

Dreamland’s recipe for their award winning barbeque requires them to burn more than a cord of wood a day.  That’s about as much wood as many people would use to burn in their homes for half the winter season.

Greenbrier Barbecue just off I-565. Their barbecued chicken with white sauce is the best in the area, including Gibson's.

Any updates to this? I am headed to the Space Center in Huntsville with #1 son and his cub scout pack this month and have 1 free dinner. Help save me from McDs

Thanks,
