6 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Opelika

“Butcher Paper BBQ is hands-down some of the best barbecue you’ll ever eat! The brisket is tender, the ribs fall right off the bone, and the smoked mac and cheese is legendary. Beyond the food, Mark and his team always make you feel so welcome when you walk in—it’s that true Auburn-Opelika hospitality. I love seeing local businesses like this thrive and give back to the community, and Mark does exactly that. As someone who helps folks relocating to Auburn and Opelika find their place here, I always tell them that gems like Butcher Paper BBQ are part of what makes this area such a great place to call home. Thank you, Mark, for sharing your passion (and your amazing food!) with all of us. Highly recommend stopping by Butcher Paper BBQ in Opelika—you won’t leave hungry!“

“First thing I noticed is the cleanliness of the place, friendly, reasonable price for a lot of selections. First time here and server was very nice and friendly, very informative, May, was very patient and showed us how to cook and prepare our food. Would definitely recommend. KPOT is the BEST!!!!“

“This is by far the best bbq in Alabama. The quality and pricing has been so wildly consistent over the last 20 years or so that I've eaten here. The value is unmatched. The Sandwich plate that comes with two sides is less than 9$. The best sandwich is the Pork Chipped on the Block and I ask for mine to be inside meat. Its absolutely lights out and crazy how good it is everytime.“
