Barbeque Restaurants near Henagar

“I have been visiting AL a lot this year and have had a lot of local BBQ, mostly in the Huntsville area. I was on my way to Atlanta with my wife. We’ve driven down roads like Alabama St Rd. 40 before, so I knew to be on the lookout for someone cooking on the side of the road. So, I told my wife if we saw someone, that we had to stop. Well sure enough we came across Bama Boys, which had a smoker in the driveway of their corner restaurant. Not exactly what I was thinking but close enough. We literally hit the brakes and made a quick u-turn into the rocky driveway, which much to my delight, had a drive thru! The young man behind the window was super friendly and easy going. When my wife and I eat BBQ, we always get one pork and one beef bbq sandwich, to see which one is better, then whichever one is better, we order an additional one of those to go. The flavor of both sandwiches were so dang good and the meat was soft and succulent for each, that there was no clear winner. We usually will pick up a bunch of sides too but not this time. We had dinner plans in Atlanta and did not want to over do it. So, no extra sandwich to go either. With that being said, there was more than enough for my wife to enjoy! The sandwiches were piled high with meat on a soft bun. You can easily taste the smokiness of the pit that the meat was cooked in. Plus, the BBQ sauce was on point. In fact, it was the first BBQ place in AL that didn’t use a vinegar based sauce. Also, the inside of the restaurant is no frills, with a lot of picnic tables around. Made it feel even that much more authentic. At the end of the day, this is far and away the best BBQ I’ve had in Alabama. Don’t miss it!“

“They make the best fried catfish anywhere. I’ve had catfish all over and no one does it better than Mud Creek. The BBQ is good too.“
