Came by a few weeks ago, couldn't get in the door. So we tried again on a Sunday morning:) Walked right in and got waited on. Food came out hot and yummy! Prices are reasonable. Love the atmosphere and decor! Parking is not very abundant:(

Phenomenal BBQ and Southern Hospitality!
I had an incredible experience!
The smoky aroma hits you the moment you step inside, setting the stage for a meal that does not disappoint. The brisket was tender and perfectly seasoned, with just the right balance of smoky and savory flavors. The pulled pork melted in my mouth, and the house-made BBQ sauce was the perfect complement—sweet, tangy, and just a little spicy.
The sides were just as impressive. The mac and cheese was creamy and rich, and the collard greens had that perfect Southern kick. To top it all off, the banana pudding was the best I’ve ever had—light, creamy, and full of flavor.
The staff was warm and attentive, making me feel right at home. Whether you’re a BBQ enthusiast or just looking for an authentic Southern meal, this place is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be back!”

This is an outstanding BBQ establishment. If ever in Birmingham, GO HERE! The meat on the ribs simply melt off the bone and are so juicy and scrumptious. We got our food to go and it was a good thing bc there was a line 15-deep to be seated. We were all very impressed. And the banana pudding—now i know why this place is known for this speciality. Very good.

My experience here wasn’t pleasant. The bartender tonight took 15 min to take our order drinks, but he wasn’t too busy. The entire restaurant was served. He never introduced himself until after the drinks were served. He did not explain the menu or any specials.I didn’t bother to order from the place and left. The menu did not have brisket on it at all. Our server did not bother to help assist with much. Never will I come back here again.

We drove in from Fort Mill, SC on Friday, 11/15/24, so my teen son could experience an Alabama game. When we arrived the place was bumping and appeared to be somewhat short-staffed. This did not make our experience any less than amazing. The manager greeted us and pointed out a couple places we could sit at. He was very friendly towards us and got our drinks started and even made some small talk and jokes with us. Our server was also very kind and even indulged my teen son in some conversation about the history of severe weather in the area. The food was accurate and hot, and of course delicious! On our way out, another lady who wasn't even our server noted that she heard we were traveling and hoped we had a good rest of our night. When your employees who aren't even your server are friendly towards you, you know you've got an amazing staff that really loves people. Thank you for the awesome experience.

I recently visited Dreamland BBQ, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional, thanks to the outstanding service provided by my server, Matt, I believe his name was, a blond haired fellow…from the moment I was greeted, their warm and welcoming demeanor set the tone for the evening. He had an incredible knowledge of the menu, offering thoughtful recommendations and detailed description of the food I asked about and I took his advice and ordered the full slab which turned out to be a perfect choice—juicy, smoky, and bursting with flavor. He also suggested the ideal sides to complement my meal, demonstrating a keen understanding of pairing flavors to create a well-rounded dining experience.
What truly set this fine fellow, Matt, apart was their impeccable attention to detail. They checked in at just the right moments, ensuring my drink was always topped off and that I had everything I needed without feeling rushed or interrupted. Their genuine enthusiasm and passion for providing top-notch service made us feel like valued guests. It’s rare to encounter a server who not only excels in professionalism but also brings such warmth and personality to the table. Dreamland BBQ has always been known for its incredible food, but with servers like Matt, it becomes a place you want to return to for both the cuisine and the unparalleled service that my family will be coming back for!!!
I had forgotten how good the sauce is. Pork tender and flavorful but too many fatty deposits for my liking. Okra and Mac cheese ok. Okra had some “stalky” pieces in it.
