The Bbq House

Well this little jewel is located on hwy 231 just a few miles north of Troy Al. While it's acclaimed to be world renowned it IS good food, however it's still small and a little dated. The bbq pork is good with lots of smoke and good flavor but just a touch dry. The new Alabama white sauce they have is kind of like a horsey sauce without the bite (not too bad). The red bbq table sauce tastes like regular bbq sauce (no complaints). The sandwiches are a little smaller than you might expect but taste and smokey flavor is not lacking. Things about reviews you want to avoid. You don't want to judge the atmosphere or theme. Those are the freedoms that represent the individuality of an established. That being said. The few things that can make a difference in the success of a business in my opinion that I would review. -always make sure every table has 2 menus -bbq restaurant. Always provide silverware. You want your customers to be able to get all that delicious bbq and sauce that dripped from their sandwich into the basket without going caveman style to pick it up. (Leading to the next one) -rolls of paper towels on the table? Great! But use a cheap wooden stand so everyone doesn't have to reach inside the cardboard spool. -if you see mop streaks on the floor, refresh the water and remop. -Take a little time occasionally before opening from day to day and work on the tables and chairs (the sticky stuff builds up over time and sneaks up on you) I wish I could have given 4 stars but it's just not quite there.

Was so much better than any place I've been to in years. The ribs melt in your mouth and the sauce was perfect. Smoked chicken is definitely the best I've had. Prices are great for the quantity and quality of the food. Definitely felt like I was in a familiar place. If you are in the area don't miss it. May go back for karaoke.

When I went in about 2 in the afternoon it wasn't crowded. The lady that waited on me was nice and friendly. The food is delicious! This is one of our favorite stops on the way to the beach! I'm not so sure about the $3 tea but it is what it is! Overall, great food that you should try for yourself!
