Really enjoyed our first visit to this jewel in downtown Florence Al. BBQ was excellent, brown sugar green beans are just right for that "something you are not expecting to be good". They are good. The Mac and cheese needs a little kick, when you consider how great everything else is you can't help but feel a little let down by max and cheese that you can microwave yourself at home. Portion size is very generous, if you have light eaters suggest they split the 5 piece chicken tenders they will thank you. Here is the real pill, they ask you to add your tip when you order. I said, " do I have to pay it now?" The cashier who is also the waitress said yes you do. My advice is to click " no top on the screen and leave cash at the table. This place is worth a stop, good food, decent prices but don't go by the ones on their online menu they have gone up. read more

I have eaten here on numerous occasions and never been disappointed. Great food and atmosphere. Love the specials, especially the casseroles such as squash , broccoli, hash brown. The wings, brisket, pulled pork, chicken are all great too! Nice sized portions! Banana pudding is a must! They are great for catering as well. We had a birthday party in back room which was great, semi private and great service. This place is a big thumbs up! read more

Everything was delicious! We ordered the chicken, ribs and pulled pork. 306 definitely did not disappoint.

The brisket has a smoky flavor, is tender and moist. The sides were tasty and plentiful. The BBQ has just enough heat and the white sauce is so good! Great service and great good! read more

I love this place. It is in a college town, so much of the atmosphere is college-towny, but that's OK! I love LOVE LOVE the Brunswick Stew. The meat plates that I have tried are all amazing, and the sides are great too. In fact, I have no complaints about any of the items I've had. My only complaint is that they have started serving meals on pizza pans or brownie pans, and they seem to cause meals to get cold too fast. I rarely have hat meats. The sides are often served in small foam cups, so those are perfect, but the items that touch the metal pans go cold very quickly. read more

Great bbq discovery today. Being Memorial Day, most local restaurants in downtown Florence were closed. We were lucky this one stayed open until 3:00. My wife got a BBQ pork sandwich, fried okra and banana pudding. I had the daily special of smoked pork tenderloin, side of broccoli casserole (a rare but pleasant find in the world of sides) and I also broke down and got the fried okra. ALL WAS DELISH!! Would go back again. Quick fact: 306 is the address of the original home in Athens, AL where the BBQ began. read more

Got in 15 minutes before closing and ate at the bar. Was not expecting much since Kitchen was closing. Best pulled pork barbecue sandwich I've had in a very long time. Bun was toasted with a little butter, perfect ratio of pork to bun, pork was amazing, not too Smokey, tender and no fatty pieces. Great service. Sports bar atmosphere. Perfect for watching games. read more

GREAT ribs! Tender, moist, nicely smoked, and with just enough of a sweet sauce. A decent selection of draft and bottled beers. Wine, not so much (4, count 'em, 4 wines) but then you shouldn't be drinking wine with these ribs anyway. This is one of those places where you go up to a counter and order food/soft drinks and then go over to the bar and order beer/wine. Decor is 2010-era exposed ceiling , tables and booths. Don't come in here expecting elegant dining, but if you want some great ribs, these are the best I've had in a long time. read more

Fantastic BBQ. Pulled pork sandwich was money. Flavorful but not too smokey. Moist. Not greasy. Cooked just right. Tried the ribs on the second visit and they are right up there with the pulled pork. Great flavor. Good char on the outside, but the meat pulls right off the bone. And the sides didn't disappoint. The potato salad was good and baked beans were better. I like my potato salad a little spicier, but this wasn't too bland and mayonnaise-y. It was a nice pairing with the baked beans, which had a lot of dimension, without any one flavor being dominant. Tried the green beans and mac & cheese on the second visit. They are great alternatives to the former. Everything was solid. Try it soon. read more

Gave the all new 306 BBQ a try with my wife and kids after church. We ordered 2- 10 piece wings Meals both included two sides each. We tried the Brunswick stew, green beans, macaroni and cheese, and squash casserole. They were all awesome my kids loved their chicken tenders and macaroni and cheese. We will definitely be back to try some of the other items on the menu everybody's plates that we're coming from the kitchen looks delicious. This place is definitely a must try And the service was excellent even during a Sunday after church when it was packed. read more

Tried 306 BBQ for the first time today. We are originally from Oklahoma and like the sweeter style of bbq rather than the vinegar style. That being said, we enjoyed 306 BBQ better than any other we have tried since moving to Alabama (and we have tried quite a few) . The brisket was smoky and tender and the ribs delicious. The pulled pork was a little on the dry side but had good flavor. The baked beans, squash casserole and brunswick stew were all very good. Our 11 yo son enjoyed the chicken sandwich minus the slaw. We ordered as takeout but all interactions with staff were friendly and professional. Will definitely return. read more

My friend chose to come here for his birthday. Between all of us in our party we pretty much sampled the entire menu. The best thing on the menu in my opinion was the banana pudding. It was delicious and a must try! Give them a couple of month to settle in to their groove. It's too early to tell whether or not it's worth coming to. read more

The cashier ignored me standing in front of him until I asked if they were open. Rather than have an extra ingredient added to my food , I left without ordering .There are too many competitors for me to tolerate poor service. read more

Been there twice in the three months since moving here. Friendly service, many things to choose from on the menu, and a pretty good little bar in back. Good escape spot for lunch downtown. Good bbq too. Plus, Trowbridge's ice cream next door. What's not to love? read more

Fantastic BBQ, in town for a few days & decided to visit, glad we did my wife & I both had the rib platte. Portions were huge, cooked just right , fall of the bone. Great operation highly recommended read more

Great food. The sandwiches are huge. Love that they have a bar separate from the dinning area. You can go to the back if you want the bar scene. Good atmosphere. read more

Always good food quick and relaxing ! Great place to hang out with friends or take family to eat . The bar is always busy and we always see people with know so it makes it a great neighborhood spot to hang out read more

We mostly bbq at home so because we are picky about our bbq we don't usually eat it out. Boy were we excited upon eating 306 bbq. Super moist pulled pork sandwich served with coleslaw and bbq sauce. The ribs are dry rubbed smoked and then sauce squeezed on top...these were my fave as they fell off the bone...was Smokey and and not covered in sauce. We also ordered the 6 wings with hot sauce for ~$5 because we didn't intend leaving without trying a little of everything. It was soooo good and flavorful...it wasn't really hot though which was ok. The baked beans and Mac n cheese were standard for the cuisine. The banana pudding is a must anytime you have bbq. Get it as a dessert for $2 or order it as one of your sides with your meal. My husband had his bbq with their draft beer..the Anita Andygator and he really liked the Mark Twain Red. My only complaint was that everything is ordered at the counter so when3ver we needed anything extra we had to go back to the counter. We went back 3 times...once for napkins...again for refills and another beer...and last for a to go box. Our suggestion...walk past the crowded Cantina next door and head into 306 for a better meal. read more

I was recently in Florence,Alabama for the day and visited the 306 BBQ.The front of the restaurant was a traditional BBQ place, while the back was a restaurant and sports bar. It was a nicely equipped sports bar with numerous big screen TVs. The food was great and the service was exceptional. I had the pulled pork sandwich with two sides. The pork was tender and had a very moist and tasty sauce. I will definitely visit 306 again. read more

Love the setup of this restaurant! The front is perfect for families and bigger parties. Going down a hallway leads to the back of the restaurant where it opens up into more of a bar setting. Food has always been great when eating here! Everyone needs to try the wings! Definitely would recommend! read more

Q was pretty good. The portion sizes for the money seemed a little small. The sides were really good. Try the brown sugar green beans.

Excellent food! We had the ribs, pork sandwich and wings. If you're looking for good local BBQ, this is a great destination.

Driest chicken I've ever had at a bbq place. Must have been leftover from lunch and saved for the pre dinner arrivals - ate there at 430 and we were 2 of 4 people in restaurant. read more

Their takeout was pretty good. Our office had the chicken, pulled pork, Mac and cheese. However my experience at the actual restaurant left me less than impressed. Service was ok but there was no atmosphere and nothing that would want me to return. Not a dive, not unique, just there . Food is ok but when eating out I need a little more. Don't see the need for this restaurant. read more
