Brendas food used to be much better ribs tastes like leftovers not whole piece ribs but bits and pieces and way too much sauce. Brenda will continue to be my go to Rib place no matter its something about their quantity and quality family vibe.

I ordered the chicken plate with baked beans and coleslaw. It came with two slices of bread as well. The coleslaw is creamy, not vinegar based and was fantastic. I'd actually go back just for the coleslaw but the chicken was just as amazing.
A couple of the other folks in line offered us recommendations after hearing us say we were from out of town and had found this place on Google Maps.
This little place is cash only as well as takeaway only, so be sure you bring your wallet and have a place to nosh. 10/10 will visit again next time I'm passing through.

Brenda's has been around for a very long time, and there was a crowd waiting which are good signs. This is a barbecue stand so no dining room or even tables. The building itself contains the pit and barely enough counter space to prep food. I enjoyed talking with the other patrons who were waiting on orders. That was really fun. The food was very good although we got a couple things we didn't expect. The chicken sandwich is actually a full quarter chicken, intact, served with two slices of white bread. So if you want a sandwich, you have to pull it yourself. It's also super messy so have plenty of napkins. The chicken was smoky and wonderful covered in the sauce. The pork was very finely chopped and mixed with a lot of sauce. Think Sloppy Joe for appearance. But the flavor was pit smoked and the meat was piled high, so it was a mess. Eating in the car was a challenge but was worth the trouble. Brenda's is a piece of history and needs to be experienced.
We picked up Brenda’s from the window and ate it at a local park. I asked for recommendations from people in line, most had been loving Brenda’s since they were kids. ❤️ legitimate Alabama bbq, saucy, fire cooked, with a side of sweet tea. Friendly and fun side trip.

First time trying this bbq spot...I would say it was just ok. The bbq was drenched in sauce we had the pork and beef rib plates. The sides could use some seasoning. The location is on the westside(nobody going to bother you..just mind your business) of Montgomery. I think the bbq was cooked quick and the heat was to high. The sauce need to be cut back so you can taste the flavor of the meat or put on the side.

Delicious authentic BBQ. Full of flavor and good portion size (and value)! Friendly and helpful staff. Side of the road, so be safe!
The barbecue here blows anything else in town out of the water. There isn't a place on-site to eat said barbecue, but if you're okay with that, I would highly recommend a visit. Attached is a picture of the beef rib plate I ordered.

Such a great experience on our road trip through Alabama. We chatted with a few people in line and it’s clear this is a long time local’s favorite. Locals and Brenda’s crew were all very friendly and gave great recs on the menu. The rib sauce was a 10/10. Make sure you bring cash, no cards accepted!

Smelled great and my cousins loved it. I regret not partaking in the meal as I had previous reservations.

The rib plate is amazing! My friend and I stopped here on our way back to TN and I will say they make some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had!
