11 Best Barbeque Restaurants near Semmes

“We often stop by Hickory Pit when we're heading to Mobile. Food is always great.The kitchen staff are EXTREMELY generous with food portions. So we can usually go home with more leftover BBQ than we ate for dinner! The wait staff are all very kind and patient. Very nice experience if you're in the mood to EAT!“

“I’m currently exploring the entire menu little by little. I’ve had nothing but amazing experiences each and every time! Great food and top tier customer service!“

“got the pulled pork sandwich. meat had ZERO flavor and was as dry as boomer humor. the seasoning sauce was water scared with garlic powder. potato salad was disrespectfully disgusting. banana pudding was watery and the bananas were black. green beans were dumped from a can and had less seasoning than printer paper. Mac and cheese was essentially just pasta in a cheese water sauce and the atrocity of what they dare to call sweet tea was an insult to all southerners. get a better staff too. they carried a conversation and it was quite clear they wanted to keep talking when I was approaching. the lady at the pickup register talked over me and was obviously annoyed to be at work.“

“In my opinion, today’s food was awful. My grill quarters that I purchased as a take home meal was still pink on the inside as if it was rushed on the grill. They were out of a few items on menu. Lastly, what makes the taste of the chicken is the sauce that wasn’t even placed in the bag. I have had better but it was something about today. However, my son’s ribs in his opinion were burnt and just wasn’t good. I will return in hopes that the food is better.“

“Had the special pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and what not on it and it was really good. The pulled pork was a little dry but the coleslaw and sauce overshadowed that.

Fries had really good flavor and perfect consistency.

The banana pudding was great. You can tell it's made fresh probably daily, I assume, because the cookies still had a little crunch to them.

“The sliced beef brisket sandwich was great!“

“We went Friday night for dinner and have not been here in forever. Actually, we don't go to sit-down restaurants often as we are more grab and go people. But we wanted a good steak and nice night out and thought we would give it a shot. I wish I could give 10-stars. We ordered several appetizers and a couple entrees and every dish was delicious. And our steak did not disappoint, perfectly cooked and very tasty. But I think the best part of our evening was the service. And not just from our server, Carli but the everyone we encountered was just wonderful. I wont go into all the details, but they made our night very special and we will not forget it. THANK YOU“

“This is a shout out to our waitress “Jayden”. By far the BEST waitress we’ve had in an extremely long time! Great food in a timely fashion!“

“(July 2026) Our food was delicious and the service was top notch! TR has greatly improved and we visit now! The young man at pickup was outstanding!
(4 months ago)Delicious and our server was excellent! 5 🌟
(Now - Nov.2020) I will never visit this place again. I wish we had the same service we had months ago because no matter how nice we were, the eye rolls and attitudes from the waitress were not necessary. There is more than one steakhouse in Mobile and restaurants are closing every day!“
