A year ago today. May 19th. Me and wife had bar b que sandwiches there. We are from Virginia and I told owner there that takes a excellent sandwich to beat ours back in Virginia. No joke! It tasted just like home. Excellent taste. We are back in town. Looking forward to seeing y’all tomorrow. Friday. Told y’all I be back. Y’all will be first place I grab a sandwich. Of course. Bar b que. thumbs up and 5 plus stars.

Don't ruin your idea of BBQ. Just don't :(

I was in Attalla/Gadsden for a couple of days and I have to say it is worth the trip over from Gadsden for Southern BBQ Co. I had a large brisket sandwich and onion rings. Being from a big BBQ town, this is going against the grain, but I prefer this style. It was extremely tender and fatty. Compared to brisket in Kansas City, as an example, there is much less chew. This brisket just melts in your mouth. Not everyone will prefer this style, but the alternative in the area was essentially pot roast with some really awful sauce on it. Speaking of the sauce, it is one of the best I've ever had. I don't want the sauce to overpower the meat, and this sauce is just a perfect compliment to that fatty beef, not either too sweet or too tangy. Also they don't do anything fancy with the bun. This is just straight-forward, good old southern bbq. If you are an onion ring fanatic like me, these were a real treat. They are large, meaty, fresh cut rings. Really glad there is good bbq in this area. Whenever I am back here Southern BBQ Co. is must stop.

We were in town on business and was looking for a place for lunch. We try to avoid the chain restaurants when traveling and usually look for something local and authentic. We definitely found that here! Service with a smile and that southern hospitality from the moment stepped up to the window. It was some of the best bbq we have ever had. The pitmaster has it down to a science ? we are in then fur a couple more days and already planning our next meal here again!

We tried out this cute little place last weekend and the food was delicious. The barbecue chicken and pork was very tender and the sauce had a great taste.

3 months ago we had said we weren’t going back to Attalla location but we decided to give them another chance. What a disappointment. If you want to actually have meat with your meal, this isn’t the place to go. It was basically bread and a potato that needed all the other toppings because there wasn’t enough meat. It has really changed from when we first started going there and it was our favorite. Now we’re making the drive to The Shack BBQ in Talladega because we spend the same amount and get a TON more. Maybe that’s why Southern BBQ parking lot was empty and The Shack was packed.

Had a craving for ribs... Had driven past this pace several times... The good... Sauce had good flavor... Personal preference is ribs falling off bone... These were not that. Not a whole lot of meat. Got 3 ribs... Another 4 or 5 would have better... Beans tasted like doctored up pork and beans... Not really bad... Just wasn't what I was doing expecting. Cole Slaw was good.. but I like more carrot in mine... For what i spent next time I buy a rack of ribs at the the grocery and do them myself in the instant pot Santa brought me... 30 mins or so and be much more to my liking.

I went and placed an order & it ended up being over$35 and I ordered inside meat on the sandwiches and paid extra for that, then when I got it home it was wrong. The sandwiches had all kinds of the burnt outside "bark" and fatty meat. Then after we eat what we could of it, it made us sick so ended up throwing the rest of it in the trash. I called and they said they would refund my money so I'm waiting on that.

This used to be our favorite barbecue place in the area. Not after we went for our most recent visit. We ordered a large pork sandwich and pork potato. It cost more and we thought they forgot to put meat on our order. It was more bread and sauce over meat. Same for the potato. We will start looking for a new place for our barbecue!

Barbecue was just average. Slaw had too much vinegar. Mac n cheese was good.

Just ate at the Boaz location.. I was very disappointed. I went in expecting the same good BBQ experience. THINGS HAVE CHANGED. The meat portion has been lowered to kid size amounts. The sides quality have dropped terribly. I know they are trying to save money but I would have rather been charged more. Because the ribs were maybe 2 inch long.. no meat . Unless they change back.. They have lost a fat guys business. Please just charge more and go back to the old way of doing things..
