“No other Brunswick stew will do !! When it’s “in season” (only avail in fall and winter) SHBBQ’s stew is the ONLY place to go !! My goodness ! Their stew is just the right spicy mixed with succulent pork/turkey (your choice); savory potatoes and country veggies !! IT IS fantastic !! The only thing about winter in Alabama I look forward to is Southern Hickory BBQ’s Brunswick Stew !! =))Cullman, Hartselle and Arab locations ! All are great and have the nicest people that serve with a southern smile !“
“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Lil New Orleans, and I must say, it was an incredible experience. The star of the show was undoubtedly Chef Joe Vance and his exceptional staff, who went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience.To start off our meal, we decided to indulge in the Boudin balls for our appetizer. These delicious bites were perfectly crispy on the outside and filled with flavorful and tender boudin sausage. It was a delightful way to kick off our culinary journey.The kids opted for hamburgers, which were cooked to perfection. Juicy and flavorful, these hamburgers satisfied their cravings and left them with smiles on their faces. Lil New Orleans truly knows how to cater to all tastes and preferences.As for the main course, we had the pleasure of trying a variety of dishes. The blackened pork chops were a standout, cooked to perfection with a flavorful and smoky exterior. The meat was tender and juicy, leaving us wanting more with each bite.We also indulged in the crawfish étouffée, a classic Louisiana dish that did not disappoint. The rich and flavorful sauce perfectly complemented the tender crawfish, creating a harmonious blend of flavors that danced on our taste buds.To end our meal on a sweet note, we decided to take the chess pie and bread pudding to go. The chess pie was a delightful treat, with its buttery and flaky crust and sweet, custard-like filling. The bread pudding was equally delightful, with its warm and comforting flavors.Overall, our experience at Lil New Orleans was nothing short of exceptional. The outstanding culinary skills of Chef Joe Vance and the warm and attentive service from his staff truly elevated our dining experience. If you're looking for a taste of New Orleans right in your own backyard, I highly recommend paying a visit to Lil New Orleans. You won't be disappointed.“
