What a great lunch spot off Old Shell Road ... we Started with the deviled eggs and fried pork skins. But the "old Shell plate" was the highlight. The BBQ sauce had a perfect tang to it - just like I love! The door was revolving with customers picking up rib orders the whole time we were there. Arthur Green has got a great location and Delicious food. Get the Ribs! Everyone else seemed to be getting them today ! Can't wait till he has the cream cheese sweet potato pie! -see pic read more

I tried Bay Barbecue today. I wanted to order online from their website but unfortunately they don't have the website set up. No problem. I looked on Yelp and called in my order. They are a bbq place so of course I ordered the rib plate. The menu I saw said it came with 2 sides but when I was on the phone the man said the plate came with vinegar based coleslaw. I don't normally do coleslaw but I didn't want to complicate things so I went with it. That completed my order so I headed down to pick it up. I wasn't sure of the atmosphere of this place since it was my first time ordering. I got there and it seemed like a cozy little place to eat. There appeared to be limited parking. There is space in the back and on the side. I parked on the side of the building. When I was approaching the front of the place I saw that one of the windows had been knocked out. There was glass laying below the window. Also, the part of the deck right before you walk in the door was a little unstable. Not sure if this was apart of the ambiance but it didn't deter me. Anyway my order was waiting when I got to the cashier. The ride home smelled delightful. The first thing I did when I got home was try the coleslaw. It didn't look all too appealing but it was coleslaw. Coleslaw in my estimation is not a food that is aesthetically appealing. Anyway, the coleslaw was edible to me even though I'm not a coleslaw person. I wouldn't recommend it to people who don't like coleslaw. Next up, the ribs. They looked amazing. They had some little burnt parts that make it authentic bbq. I should've tried them without the sauce but I poured the sauce on first. The sauce and the ribs were excellent. The sauce was a mustard based sauce and it was delicious. The weren't especially juicy since they were babyback ribs but the taste was excellent. And the French bread and the little onions added a nice little touch to the plate. All in all I'll give my experience 4 stars. I wasn't quite sure what was going on with the building. Was it broken into or not? That did take a bit from my score but the food and service aspect of it was top notch. Go to Bay Barbecue. You won't be disappointed. read more

Wow, we found Bay Barbeque on Google with great reviews so went out of our way from downtown Mobile (2.5 miles only) to get some ribs. Unbelievable flavor and so tender! We were supposed to bring them to a brewery to eat but wnded up having a picnic in the parking lot because we just simply couldn't wait to eat them! 5-stars here and on Google for sure ! read more

Mid at best, probably not going to come back. Had nothing on the menu? Ribs could've been done better by a 4 year old. This was disappointing. read more

Best BBQ in Mobile. Erotic Ribs are fantastic and best ribs in the south. Really love the chicken as well. read more

Excellent food. They wouldn't serve anything until it was done cooking. Locals sat down and waited patiently for the best BBQ. Friendly staff on top of excellent food and you can't go wrong. Most folks order for take out. read more

The food was amAzing. The service was great. There were renovations when we stopped by but to be completed soon. I would go again in a heartbeat. Holy Ribs! As BBQ was intended to be. read more

Fantastic upscale bbq. Go check it out. Sometimes they sell out to go early. Very accommodating people

Some of the best ribs and chicken we've tasted. Hats off to the good people and pitmaster here!

Don't let the building fool you! The food is amazing! Great service and better food!

This is the best barbecue in town, best genuine friendly service I've had in along time. Coworkers and I came in today. Sever was super nice and made us feel like she wanted us there. Dry rub Ribs are spot on, really didn't even need sauce. Sauce was super tasty. We are going back tomorrow! read more

We visited this barbecue location today. A group of us thoroughly enjoyed the food that we received. We were here for our National Convention and the grill master just kept sending various plates of delicious food. The service was exceptional. We will definitely be back!! read more

Wow. I mean, WOW. My family and I stopped in for some bbq on the way from Texas to Florida. I looked up bbq places in Mobile and am so happy we chose Bay BBQ. All of us, from 4-71 years old were in love and craved seconds. We will be stopping by again on the return. DO NOT MISS IT! As for the poster who complained about the ambiance... dude, go for the food. As to the feel of the place, very clean with truly nice, helpful people who own it. Cute homey feel. And I found parking just fine! Go. Now. Eat. :) read more

The ribs were amazing...moist, tender, with the best taste! The house rule is that you have to try the food before you add sauce and there is good reason for that. The food is delicious without needing sauce. The side of vinegar coleslaw was crunchy with just the right amount of vinegar. Definitely a place to go visit again! read more

These ribs are the most delicious I've ever put in my mouth. You don't even need sauce. They are fall-off-the-bone tender too

We were passing through Mobile for the night and we were all jonesing for BBQ. There were a couple of places not too far from downtown, one of which received a lot of accolades here on Yelp - Bay BBQ, but it was Saturday and it was closing within the hour. We took a chance and were glad to find the owner/operator still there and pleased to serve us what he had left; baskets of fried pork Bs with his delicious sauce, some ribs, pulled chicken and Texas style brisket. The sauce is tangy sweet and sour with a little bit of heat, the ribs dry rubbed and falling off the bone, and the brisket... incredibly lean and soft - not stringy, fatty or tough like some others. He uses a different spicier sauce for them, which was also delicious. We highly recommend! read more

Just ordered two half slabs of ribs (one regular and one erotic). Wow! These ribs were meaty, tender. No sauce needed with fantastic seasoning. Beat ribs in Mobile!! read more

I tried several weekends in a row to get food, but they were always sold out. Now I know why! The ribs are legit, especially the erotic rubbed ribs. House sides are also amazing. read more

We read the review in the Lagniappe, praising Bay Barbecue. So my husband and I came for lunch to check it out. We were not disappointed. We ordered the ribs and brisket. The most tender bbq I have ever had since I moved to Alabama 2 years ago from Chicago. We were politely greeted by the owner Arthur Green. Prompt seating and service received. Everything is fresh and made to order. They even have their own sauce! I'm usually a tough critic because restaurant dining is something I view as a whole experience. I honestly have nothing bad to say regarding the food and service received. The hours are very limited(open only during lunch hours) but Arthur stated he will start extending the hours to Saturday's soon. We look forward to that because we will be back! read more

Stopped in on our way in to Mobile for and event. Situated in an old house in town. Owner was there and helped with menu. We were there before 12 noon so some things weren't ready yet. I had the pulled chicken and it was really good. Hubby had the ribs which were fall off the bones delicious! The deviled eggs were also yummy! Cute and simple. Super nice owner. If I lived here, I'd definitely go back! read more

This place is phenomenal. My family went on Saturday afternoon and loved the ribs and pulled rib sandwiches. The onion rings were the best I have ever had. All prices are very reasonable and they treat you like family too. This is our new Saturday lunch spot. Thank you so much for the wonderful food and hospitality. read more

My family stopped in today for a late lunch. I was worried about them not having food ready since it was 2:00 and no one else was there. That seems to usually be the case for bbq restaurants, but not so today. It is a small house, which looks like it's being converted into a larger dining area. The owner greeted us with a smile and was very welcoming. He explained the menu and recommended the ribs as that's their crowd pleaser. Every table gets fried chicharon (pork rinds) and their awesome bbq sauce. We ordered the Mobile plate which had 3 ribs, sweet tea chicken thigh, 1 deviled egg, and 2 signature sides. Instead of the chicken, you can get sausage. The "erotic" ribs are aptly named. Excellent, excellent! The chicken and sausage were quite tasty as well. As we left, we wanted to see if we could take home a bottle of the sauce, but unfortunately they were out of bottles. We'll see if we can order some online. You need to try this place. I know they do mostly catering right now, but hopefully the dine in business takes off. I wish them the best of luck and future success. I have a feeling when word gets out about this little gem, they're gonna "need a bigger boat". read more

Bay Barbeque is a great place to get good, original Barbeque at a local business. The staff is great and makes you feel at home.

Arthur puts together a fabulous Open Face Beef Brisket Sandwich. Tender, tasty, Beef Brisket. Yum. Just be patient with the road construction on N. Florida Street, and you will rewarded. read more

Hidden Gem in Midtown. If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out. Brisket was amazing. Rib Sliders were off the chain.

Driving through town and we thought we would give this place a try. So happy we did. Service was great and food was delicious. Best brisket I ever had! read more

First class rIbs. Super nice guy. It's rare that you find ribs that fall off the bone with minimal to no fat. By far the best ribs in Mobile

The food (regular baby back ribs) and service were very good yesterday. However, the restroom needs some remodeling and the music was a bit too loud. I shall return. read more

Great food!!! I had the brisket and it was so tender and perfect. It looks like a hole in the wall, which I find to have the best food. Please try it. read more

Bay Barbecue's ribs and sauce are hands down the best we've ever had. After extensive research, I chose Bay Barbecue for our first ribs of vacation. I called and asked if they were open and if so, could we please pick up four racks of ribs at 3:00. They remarked that they were planning to close at 2:00 but that they would be happy to stay and wait for us to arrive. We have sampled barbecue from several places in St Louis and Memphis but we now have a new favorite. Upon hearing that it was our first time at BB, they insisted on an immediate tasting. It is clear that they take pride in their work as well they should. They run a very reasonably priced, well-kept establishment and are incredibly kind. Especially amidst the pandemic, we felt very comfortable in the building and consuming their food. While our BBQ research will continue, I have a feeling that we will always compare others to Bay Barbecue, wishing we were there instead. read more
