17 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!“

“I live in Florida, but my mom and grandparents were from Opelika. I have many memories of visiting my grandparents and always going to chucks, we stopped in today after coming to see my Uncle and buying my daughter her first car, I brought up chucks the night before just asking if it was still there. Probably 20 years since I've been there but it was still amazing, just like I remembered. Just the smell when i walked in had me smiling. So so good. Glad we made the choice to have barbecue today. Brought back some great memories of my grandmother, and great grandmother. I will be in ever time I am up that way.“

“We had a really great experience here. The food was delicious and felt very authentic. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The side dishes were also amazing and added so much variety to the meal.
The service was excellent!!! Everyone was very kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed.

One thing I really loved about this place is that they have semi-private seating with curtains, which makes the space feel cozy and a bit more intimate. It’s perfect if you want to enjoy your meal comfortably with friends or family.“

“I love countries barbecue The only reason why I gave the food is the four star is because I ordered a quart of their stew and it had a bone in it luckily I caught it as it was very small and I could have missed it easily and it probably wouldn't choke me.“
