Ribs are so tough
Great place if you love ribs and bbq. They do have other things but I couldn't even begin to tell you what cuz the ribs are the bomb!
Loved everything here!!!
This has been a staple in the community for a long time. It's always good food and friendly service!
Food was delicious and priced reasonably. Had the rib tips plate. Yummy. The bbq sauce one of a kind, but oh so good.
So why the 4 star overall score? Service was awful. Misty was short, inattentive, acted like I was an inconvenience to her. Never offered a refill on my soda, but was in a hurry to offer a to go box. Yeah Misty I got the hint you wanted me to leave.
I paid $22 for a rib dinner. Came with 5 ribs and bake bean and mac n cheese. The beans are canned show boat beans with 0 meat. Mac n cheese is boxed with no season. Ribs was trash. Wanted to ask for my money back but didn't feel like showing my ass. This place is trash and for $22 come on mann. No real good rib joint in Mobile no more.
Totally disgusting I paid $143 for not even mediocre BBQ. The sides were disgusting store bought crap, baked beans was pork n beans minus the pork, Mac n cheese was horrid, okra was burnt, potato salad disgusting and looked like a 1 gallon bottle of mustard was dumped in it. Ribs were dry and the sauce was horrible tastes like it too had a gallon of mustard in it + a splash of vinegar in it and runny, the tips were so tough it was like chewing rubber off a tire. We drove over 2 hrs for the most horrible BBQ I have eaten in 47 years and that's saying something because BBQ is my go to. I imagine that a 8 year old with no experience but has instructions can grill better than that. They should be ashamed of this mess that they are overcharging people for. If you find yourself wanting BBQ and see this place do yourself a favor and drive right by it and keep driving, type Rodgers BBQ in your GPS and that's where you go. I'm not saying they're the best but at least you won't feel like someone got out of your bed, put $100 on the nightstand and then snatched it back...Terrible, not to mention everyone of our stomachs were hurting, except for my youngest who didn't eat that decrepit mess.
Well I have not made a review at all time. And that's mostly because I stopped eating out. But I have recently seen the new doctor feeling much better so I've been eating out. This is my first time having barbecue pork ribs in a long time and they were absolutely delicious. It's not one of those places that smells good when you go in but the food does not match the smell. The food was very good. I had the pork ribs with BBQ sauce on the side and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was good until I had to give it to my grand daughter. That's how grandkids are they want to eat with the grandparents are eating. The atmosphere was cool the server was a guy and he was good he didn't forget us my son's glass of tea only went empty one time. But to the servers favor my son does drink a lot of sweet tea and that was his third glass so I'm cutting the guy some slack. The price was not bad. My daughter-in-law liked what she had she had the fried green tomatoes and my son liked his grilled chicken wrap. They gave a ton of white bread and extra barbecue sauce when you come in and sit down. I'll definitely go back when I go back to Mobile Alabama as I live in Atlanta Georgia
It’s Dreamland. I go there whenever I’m near one for the ribs. Order them with the sauce on the side. They’re amazing — not fall-off-the-bone tender but they’re not supposed to be. Cooked over an indoor open pit which is visible. I know they serve sides which look genuinely good, but truth be told I never really get to them because I know I’m going to eat delicious ribs until I’m so full I can barely stand.
Disappointing BBQ Experience
I had high hopes for this BBQ spot, but it fell short. The ribs were tough and flavorless, the chicken was dry, and the pulled pork burger was uninspired, with dry meat and no sauce. Even the okra on the side couldn’t save it, and the food wasn’t served warm.
The only highlight was the service—our server was friendly, attentive, and professional. It’s a shame the food didn’t match the great service.

I tried to order Three different things and they didn’t have it. I ordered ribs and chicken and they didn't have any chicken other than chopped chicken that tasted like it was a week old and the ribs was tough as leather. My first trip here and will be my last trip. Food was terrible. Not to mention that it took
40 minutes to get the food

Staff is nice and food is good but they are ALWAYS out of stuff. More than once I have ordered over the phone or I have gotten there and they were out of what I wanted.
Food was excellent. They have one of the best barbecue sauces I have had. It is has a good amount of vinegar. Karenda our server was excellent. She was rushing around helping and was always at our table with a refill of their very good iced tea before we were close to empty. Can’t wait to pass through and stop here again.
