“True soul food and very tasty.“

“Food was fresh and the wait wasn’t long at all. It was great. We ordered wings and catfish plates. Will definitely be back“

“Stopped by bc another customer said they had real chicken, IE: small chicken wings. Bc I'm down to support black owned and operated businesses, I will not request a refund for this meal I can not eat but I will for sure make mention the next time I visit that I prefer the non steroid chicken if available. If not I'll take a 2 piece of that AMAZING smelling fish! 🥹“

“I miss working right next door and getting to enjoy their amazing bbq at least twice a week! Being pregnant it's hard to find good food to eat, but I could eat here anytime! Highly recommended, not only is the food delicious, but these are some of the most wonderful people you will ever get to know!💞 Tipping is optional, but the work they put into the food and the kindness they spread deserves an extra thank you😊“

“Flew in from Houston and so glad I stopped here. Had the fried green tomato BLT with a cold PBR draft and it was amazing! If you’re in Birmingham you gotta give this place a try, 100 out of 100 ⭐️’s!!“

“For more than 20 years, my husband and I have been proud, loyal customers of Demetris BBQ — and it remains one of the true treasures of Homewood. As a family-owned restaurant that has been serving the community since the 1960s, Demetris isn’t just a place to eat; it’s part of the fabric of this town. The barbecue is consistently outstanding and their breakfast deserves just as much praise. It’s absolutely wonderful and one of our favorite spots to start the day. Recently, they faced an unexpected issue that temporarily impacted their health rating. What truly speaks to their character is how quickly and responsibly they addressed the situation. They handled it with professionalism, corrected the problem, and have since rebounded — demonstrating their commitment to quality and to their customers. In over two decades of dining here, we have never had a single bad experience. The service has always been friendly, the food consistently delicious, and the environment welcoming and comfortable. Long-standing, family-owned businesses like Demetris BBQ are special, and they deserve the community’s support — especially when they’ve proven, year after year, that they care deeply about their food and the people they serve. We will absolutely continue to recommend them and look forward to many more years of wonderful meals.“

“The Riverchase location has the friendliest drive thru ladies. They actually talk to you, it's always a great experience.“

“I order pickup from here regularly and it is always a pleasant experience. The food is so good, my go to is the rib sandwich. The ribs are smoky and tender with just the right amount of seasoning. For the price you get a large amount of food. The staff are always smiling and friendly which rounds out an overall great experience.“

“Best Slaw Dog in Alabama!!!!“

“Gotta say a big thank you to Jim ‘n Nick’s BBQ in Athens, GA. I drove through there, hoping to get the awesome sounding baked potato that is described on their menu. After ordering my kiddo’s chicken fingers, I asked for the potato only to be told they had run out of them for the night. 😞 when I pulled up to pick up our food,  the chef (Matt) had found out that I had really wanted a potato and so he gave me one for free. That makes potato might’ve been part of his employee meal he was taking home. I don’t know but that gentleman made my night.  by the way, the potato is very good, but the service was even better!“

“This place is the place you want to be!! I’ve been here twice. I’ve only gotten the exact same thing which was a bacon over easy egg cheese sandwich w/ Mayo! The bacon is thick and crispy!! Sandwich is so flavorful not greasy as all!! I live in Hoover and I’ll drive here every day I’d I could! You have to try this place you will not regret it!! There is a drive thru and you can also walk in for to go orders as well! Customer service is on point also!! Get there!!“

“Top Shelf (((((Insider)))))?? !!!!!!!! KJ never disappoints. If it's not right then he will get it right!. Been going to see him for a few years now I think. KJ and Travis are really the only 2 Black Own Food Businesses that keep me coming back. It's not just about the food it's also about the spirit of the cooks and customer service!!!! I'm tryna diet but I'm craving that shrimp and okra right now oh and catfish and ribs and baked beans!!!!!! ?? I will truly order it all. KJ gone head and do a menu item and call it A Little Bit for this and that for $25 or $30 shrimp, chicken and fish or shrimp, chicken and a few bones ? I come in there being greedy sometimes. It be hard to choose that why I take forever ?.“

“Great food, atmosphere, and service. Highly recommend!“

“My first time to go there. It was pretty good and seems like a nice place to hang out.“

“I can not speak more highly of the owners of Moe’s BBQ and the superb job they did catering my son’s rehearsal dinner. The food was extraordinary and the staff that came to help serve was phenomenal-very kind and so helpful. Great communication during the planning phases and so many compliments on the delicious dinner! Thank you for making my son’s rehearsal dinner exactly what he wanted!“

“Amazing food . Great staff!!“

“I have been going through the drive thru and also picking up on the inside for a long time. I love the BBQ sandwiches. But I placed a rather large order to be picked up inside and when I got home there were no buns. I called and was told I had to purchase them separately. You would think that when you purchased 2Lb of pork that buns would come with it. I know I have purchased pork and chicken and there were always bun included.“

“Very nice eating experience at the Birmingham Archibald and Woodrow's location. This was our first visit to the restaurant. The ribs were tender, the pulled pork were well seasoned, and the sides were delicious. And our girls enjoyed the wings and baked beans. Great barbeque! Shout out to Kevin Shobe for sending us to the location.“

“I had the polish sausage sandwich. This was phenomenal!! Soooo delicious. Don’t snooze on these folks! I plan to try everything on the menu!“

“We love their BBQ! We eat there all of the time and take our grown kids there too! The catfish, wings, and Pork sandwiches are amazing! Friendly staff too!“

“First time there , I ordered a cheese burger the condiments were great not the burger meat way over cooked hard as a rock and tasted like a charcoal briquette very disappointed ..“

“I love the friendly atmosphere. The chicken plate is Bumping and oh, my Bartender makes the Slamming Bob Marley drinks, so if you want to relax and chill this the low key spot to be. Trackside hun“

“First time at this restaurant. Great food and great customer service. You blink and you'll drive right by it. Some great restaurants come in small sizes! I'll be going back. Shrimp and Grits were very good. Peach pie was off the chain. Trying the Ox Tails next!“

“Best wings on the planet!!! My Dad said it was the best bbq he’s ever had. I drive from Cullman, AL just for their wings!!“

“Wings and okra are delicious Just need to clean their front door it’s covered in dirt and gunk It’s filthy If customers can see that I wonder what is in the kitchen..bathroom you can smell it entering the door and today I saw a huge roach crawling around inside. I probably won’t be eating here again.“

“We ate here for the 2nd time today. Great food, drinks, and service. Definitely a preference when passing through the area.“

“I had an issue with a recent order from LongHorn Steakhouse, as it was prepared incorrectly. However, when I called to report the problem, the staff was courteous and took full responsibility for the mistake. They promptly offered a sincere apology and went above and beyond by sending a gift card to make it right. I truly appreciate their professionalism and commitment to customer satisfaction. This experience reinforced my confidence in their service and I will gladly continue to support them.“

“Been visiting here for a while food is good just wish the Good Ole days of eating out return! Chicken been divided and the fish joined the division game too! I wanted a WHOLE PIECE of fish not chopped up pieces claiming its a 10pc when it's Actually 3 pieces of fish cut up! Spots are wondering why people eat at home more now.THIS IS EXACTLY WHY, YOU'RE CHARGING MORE FOR LESS! thanks for the 13yrs of service I've personally supported to your, food is great but Do better by your people and give us what we're being charged for please and thank you! I did speak on at the location but the attitude was a bit much when I've already paid you for it. Why she mad when it's my money and I got shorted on my food is beyond me but carry on Birmingham AL!“
