“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.“

“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!“

“Thanks to TikTok i finally got to try this place & yep…. It’s everything they said it would be. The sausage egg & cheese biscuit is a must. So good & seasoned & it’s BIG. I ordered 2 but definitely not eating the other one. I won’t even need lunch in 4hrs….My said the bologna egg and cheese was god too. Check it out“

“If the ratings went higher than 5 stars I would rank it higher. Birmingham is a city filled with great BBQ restaurants. If it isn't good BBQ, it won't last. My wife and I ate at Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint for the first time today, and we have found our new favorite BBQ joint. We enjoy watching Pat Martin's tv show, "Life of Fire," so we came with very high expectations. They surpassed them. When we stepped out of the car the smoke BBQ smell was amazing. I ordered a pulled pork shoulder sandwich and asked them to top it with coleslaw and had a side of mac & cheese and bought a second side, cornbread hoecake. Martha ordered the sliced brisket sandwich with a side of baked beans. I started with the mac & cheese. It was delicious with plenty of cheese and baked to perfection with a crispy cheese top. Really delicious. The cornbread hoecake was incredible it looks like and has the consistency of a pancake. You must order that when you go. Then I picked up the pulled pork shoulder sandwich and sunk my teeth in it. Oh, my! Pulled pork at its best. I added the Jack's Creek vinegar-based sauce to it, and wow, that added even more outstanding flavor to it. I've found my new favorite BBQ sauce. Martha thoroughly enjoyed her sliced brisket sandwich. We both had a bite of each others sandwiches and both were mouth-satisfying delicious. The brisket was perfect. The baked beans were very tasty, too. Everything was about as perfect as you can get at a BBQ joint. Pat Martin knows his BBQ, just as he displays on his show "Life of Fire." Before I could say anything, Martha said, "This is the best BBQ I've ever had. Let's come back for lunch tomorrow." She didn't have to twist my arm. We still like many other delicious BBQ restaurants in Birmingham, and will eat at them again, but Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint is our new favorite. In a city where BBQ is king, Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint sits atop the throne.“

“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!“

“This was my 1st time at any Dreamland. It did not live up to the hype I had heard. I was told how meaty and juicy the ribs are, even at this location. These were not bad, but they were a bit skimpy. While they were not dry, neither were they juicy and they were just short of being tough.
Our server wasn't bad, but he was very absent and not attentive.“

“Amazing food . Great staff!!“

“Ms. Bridgette is amazing, great spirit,and customer service. Overall experience was great.“

“consistently great food that I recommend to everyone who comes to town. If you want to put sauce all over everything go to Dreamland, if you want crispy, juicy BBQ get A&W.

The best smoked wings + ribs combo in Birmingham“

“Highly recommended it was wonderful. We always make sure we stop by when we pass. One of my favorite restaurants!!“

“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“

“I definitely recommend coming to this location! The food was amazing and so was the service! I would also like to send some appreciation to Anna (I believe is her name) the cashier at this location she was phenomenal extremely kind, warm spirit and welcoming! I will 100% be coming back!“

“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!“
