This place is great. Pork is very nice. Great red sauce. Highly recommended the corn on the cob. Smokey turkey also delicious. read more

Good place to eat. You can go there sit down and eat in a decent amount of time. Service is terrific

I was doing biz in Sylacauga and the guys recommended this place. Glad they did. Had the barbecue turkey with white sauce with baked beans and maybe the end-all, be-all potato salad of all time. Cheerfully brought to the table, too. Next time I'm in Sylacauga, I'll be back. read more

Went in about 1:00 during lunch. Poor service and took 45 minutes to get our food, though the place was mostly empty and we ordered lunch specials read more

Love this place but I only gave them a 4star because they were out of the smoked turkey I wanted. I did wait in till they were almost closing before I ordered though. So that was my fault. The mac and cheese is amazing and I enjoy their slaw. Since it was a Thursday night I was able to get the brisket plate (Thursday, Fridays). I definitely recommend here. And I will eat there again. read more

Great bbq and sides! Service is always great! We've had everything from here and it's always top notch. This isn't just another bbq owner trying to sling out food. August's has a pit master that really cares about his product. read more

I don't give 5 stars too often, but this is well worth it! My husband & I had the platter with 3 sides & shared it. So much food and so delicious! The smoked meat is so tender & full of flavor! The platter included meaty ribs, a large chicken quarter (breast & wing), baby back ribs, smoked sausage, pulled pork, 3 sides, & toasted bread. We didn't eat the bread because everything else filled us up. We had green beans for our three sides and they were so very good. Not heated from the can, but flavored with onion & meat, not too salty either. I highly recommend August's BarBQue and we will definitely return! read more

5 stars. No hesitation. Everything was good. Beans were great. I got their white sauce on the side for my chicken and it is great. More sweet than tangy with a truly unique flavor. They usually only put it ion the turkey I understood but ask for it on your chicken! Chicken and ribs were cooked perfectly with great flavor. Potato salad was average but good. Service was perfect. Had my food in literally 5 min and was checked on several times by friendly staff. read more

Speedy service and great ribs- can't beat that.

Great new Barbecue place. Opened this week. Has been selling ribs and butts roadside but is now in a building. Ribs are fabulous. Great dry rub. No sauce. Its available on the table but you're not gonna need it. Spare ribs and baby backs. Great smoke flavor. Very tender but firm. Cant wait to try the butt and bbq sandwich, (tomorrow). Basic menu right now. Ribs and butts. Sandwich and salads. Normal sides of slaw baked beans potato salad andmac and cheese but the taste is not normal. Its AWESOME. Will be expanding soon. Great prices. You've got to try this place. Right on the side of 280. Hit it on the way to Auburn. read more

They have steak night on Wednesday nights. That steak looked and smelled go good, I couldn't even wait to get home to take a picture. Took a big bite on the drive home! Best steak in the Talladega county area, maybe even further than that! read more

Love this local Alabama BBQ. A must stop on the way to Lake Martin or Auburn Football game. Worth the drive if you live in B'ham. Just a cool place. read more

We came last weekend and the BBQ was the best! Tonight, pretty disappointing. We got there at 7:00 pm, and ordered their steak special which includes a loaded baked potato and a salad. We waited over an hour for our steaks, and when they finally arrived , we were informed that they were out of potatoes. They also were out of green beans and corn on the cob. I finally ordered Mac and cheese, (very good) but not quite what I wanted with a steak. This is all on a Saturday night!! I mentioned that I wish they would have let us know sooner, since I would have changed my order possibly. The waitress was not very pleased to hear that, and we finally had to go into the restaurant to pay our bill since she never showed up to allow us to pay. This place is a great BBQ restaurant, really incredible food, but they need to figure out their steak dinners! read more

New Pell City location. I was excited when this place opened, but wow are they pricey...$13.65 for a bacon cheese burger, fries and drink. Burger takes 20 to 30min to get and is mediocre at best, fries are very average too. I really wanted to be excited about them and give my business, but that price is too much for what you get imho... read more

Food was sooooo good !! First time visiting we were visiting from Atlanta great customer service and great food!! I will definitely be visiting again !! read more

Food was great! We didn't have to wait long and our food was delicious. We ordered two BBQ plates plus two slices of their red velvet cake. Their cakes is out of this world! So creamy,, fresh and delicious . My family approved! read more

My husband and I stopped here on our way home today for lunch because we were super hungry and it looked like a cool little place. First, the atmosphere is great and it's very well designed. I definitely want to come back on a day that it's not raining to enjoy the cool outdoor seating. The service was fast. The food was really good and honestly probably some of best Mac and cheese I've ever had. read more

Wow this is the Best BBQ we have had in Alabama. Great service. They use quality meats. The pulled pork is so good. The ribs were so tender.

I had passed this place on the highway numerous times and had noticed the large smoker but never noticed the name because the restaurant doesn't actually face the highway. I got the chance to go there tonight and I'm glad I did. It's a very inviting place, clean and modern. The staff was polite and accommodating. The menu was not overwhelming, as is the case with so many small restaurants. This place sticks with what it does best....BBQ. I had a "Russell", which is a sort of sampler platter consisting of 3 meats and 2 sides. I had the 1/4 smoked chicken (they also offer it in Lemon Pepper...LP), pulled pork and baby back ribs, baked beans and potato salad. The pulled pork was good,as were the ribs. The real star was the chicken, which was as good as I've had anywhere. Their sauce is a definite plus, too. I'm still trying to figure out what all was in it. The beans were an asset. The potato salad tasted good but not homemade. My apologies if it was. The highlight of my visit, though, was talking with August, himself. A quiet, unassuming sort, you can tell he loves what he does and is genuinely happy you are there. We talked business and BBQ, smokers and sauces. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. The prices are reasonable, btw. read more

Took a vendor from Ohio there and it was our first time to eat there. We had the smoked turkey and pulled pork and both were outstanding. The service was extremely fast and efficient with friendly servers and them taking care of us from the second we walked in untill we checked out. I can wholeheartedly recommend August's as a great place for lunch and from what I have seen the evening atmosphere is just as good. read more

They have the best spare ribs I have ever had. So yummy and will got back again. We want to try there briskets.

Great Food! Best Ribs I've ever had! I've tried bbq all over Alabama and this is the best. The sides are great too.

Amazing food with good service they have a lot more than just barbecue. You can't beat there steak on steak night or their rib eye sandwich omg mouth watering read more

Very disappointed in this "bbq" place. Read below BEFORE ordering the bbq plate. Quite pricey too and they don't even have fries! Ordered the bbq plate w baked beans and another side that was so inedible I can't even remember what it was, yater salad I think. The baked beans were horrible, generic canned beans would have been better. The "bbq" came served on an aluminum tray with only a thin sheet of paper separating the bbq and the aluminum tray, in case you don't know, aluminum is an excellent heat sink. It was very efficient at removing every last bit of warmth that used to be in the bbq. It was room temp before it even got to our table. Mmmmmm cold bbq !! The worst plating method possible. It might have tasted good had it been warm enough to try it. Zero stars. read more

We just rolled ourselves out of this place and seriously can't wait to be hungry again and come back. Next time we'll come when the live music is going on! read more

Wow!!!!!!!!!! If you know good BBQ then you will love this place. Excellent food. Best ribs I have ever had.

Passing through Sylacauga, with a group of 11 and stopped in. Very well-executed smoked meats were had here! We had the ribs, chicken, sausage, pulled pork, green beans, slaw, and sweet potatoes. Not a single complaint from the group. Of note, they serve no fried foods. The green beans were quite peppery, and were probably the best commercially prepared green beans that i have had. All of the meats were moist, and the smoke taste was strong, but not overpowering. They have a few meat sauce options, including the "white sauce", which has become common across Alabama----their version is not as sour as others that I have tried, and I approved, though your mileage may vary. This place was way better than I had expected, and I would be a regular if I lived nearby. Should I ever have a need to pass through again, I will eat here. read more

August has got the smoker down! He has the best smoked meats in the state! Hard to beat his smoked chicken and turkey!

Took my cousin from California here. Plus it was our first time as well. Good prices, and good food. I prefer the bbq chicken over the pork as it was much juicier and flavorful. Both were good, just my preference. read more

Baby back ribs were pretty good though they were served cold. Barbecue sauce is decent but they don't offer a hot sauce. Potato salad was good slaw was pretty good. Service was nonexistent. They were doing the business read more

Have stopped twice and just not worth the problems. Ordered bbq sandwich and hamburger with ketchup mustard and extra pickles to go came out with everything. Sent it back came back with cheese mayonnaise just gave up and left it with them. By the time I got to bbq sandwich it was soggy due to the pint of sauce they put on it. The only thing they got going is the very courteous lady out front. read more

Love the environment and friendly staff. The food is excellent. A lot of different things to choose on the menu for the whole family. So it's easy to go to as a large party. My favorite is the patio seating. read more

I have driven past several times while going through Sylacauga but they aren't ever open. Finally had the chance to go by and have some dinner with friends. We all had different meals which allowed for taste testing (yes! Even with COVID going on!) Their pulled Lemon pepper chicken is great! Their bologna sandwiches is THICK but has good flavor. When it comes to sides I had Mac and cheese, squash casserole, fries, and potato salad (mustard based) they were all great sided. May need some salt for the potato salad. The potato salad and squash casserole both had onions which did not bother me but for others it may be something to note that the wait staff did not know the answer to! I will swing back by there again! read more

My oldest son's name is August so I had to give these fine people I try and I am very glad that I did! The service was fast, but not rushed, and very friendly. The sweet tea was excellent. We came here on a Friday and were able to have the brisket. My son had the brisket plate with mac & cheese and baked beans. I had the brisket, sausage, and baby back ribs with baked beans and squash casserole. The brisket was perfect, not dry and very tender. The sausage was nice and juicy and the ribs perfectly done. Smoky and not falling off the bone. Very tender, juicy, and just plain delicious. August's Barbeque was some of the finest I have ever had. My only disappointment is that I live near the Canadian border and probably won't be back for some time . But Derek, the owner, and his wife Cindy did give me a tee shirt for my oldest son, which was very thoughtful of them. Thank you! We also got a couple of ball caps to remind us of our fun time in Alabama! Thanks for the excellent food and fine memories. Keep up the good work. read more

August's Barbeque - Brisket, sausage, and baby back ribs. Squash casserole and baked beans. Excellent! - Barbeque Near Me - Sylacauga, Alabama

Amazing food! I had 1/2 chicken with mac and cheese and potato salad. Everything was perfection!

Pulled pork was DELICIOUS!! Their sausage links are to die for and the turkey will not disappoint. My sides, cole slaw and green beans were spot on. The slaw was some of the best I have had. The green beans were sessoned perfectly and served piping hot. Just the way I like them. The service is outstanding and made the experience the best. Do not hesitate to stop by. The sweet tea is proper. Their bbq sauce is a perfect balance of sweet and heat. Their white sauce is excellent as well. Stop by and let Derek and his crew take care of you. read more
