"Best barbecue sandwich in the state. Meat is tender and moist. Thus makes for the best pork sandwich. No one Ive ever spoken with didn’t have a pleasant experience. Management is always on property."

"Great FOOD, Great STAFF, Great OWNERS! A truly Winning Combination!!! I wanted to get a picture of my plate, but my tongue slapped my phone outta my hand... I had the Jumbo Smoked Wings, Baked Beans, and Mac N Cheese. Wow!!! Incredibly tender, flavorful, everything seasoned to perfection! I went with their Mild Buffalo Sauce and it just intensified the flavor. Not too bold of a burn that leaves you tasteless with pure heat, but again just pure perfection! My wife had the Loaded Nachos with BBQ Pork and she loved it. Nachos, Jalapeños, Pork, Lettuce, Tomatoes, Sour, Cream and Queso Cheese, with Barbque Sauce. Chief and Snoogies is a cool little place on Hwy 24 we had passed early in the morning. Smoke wrapped the joint while they were working hard getting ready for the day. So glad we got to stop by and eat that afternoon on our way back. Food was impeccable!!! We will definitely be back and recommend anyone to stop by and try the Best Barbque in Bama!"

"This place is the epitome of an old school BBQ joint. Excellent customer service and the food is unbelievable. I drive almost an hour, once a month, just to eat there. As a native Alabama, I love pulled pork and nobody does it better than these guys."

"Love the bbq meat from here. I bypassed 3 other bbq places just to get bbq meat from here. We also always have the bbq meat and chicken from here served at our church Christmas meal. They also have great bbq potatoes and nachos too. Trust me this place is great."

"Their BBQ & Ribs & potato salad are to die for! Great prices too! A quick meal for 2 days for a family or easy answer to food you don't want to fix for a party that won't break the bank. We love this place! The service and people seem more like friends. Oh and all of their BBQ sauces are super as well! The beans are amazing! Also for something different get their stuffed potato. Its definitely a mans meal; it will fill you to the gills! Must have for real BBQ lovers."

"The pulled pork sandwich and sweet tea where delicious! The chicken was a little dry, but the white sauce was very good. Lots of character on the inside. Lots of food for the price. EDIT I had to bump my review up to five stars after trying the pie. We got fudge and coconut and the were both amazing!!!"
