    Large cheeseburger with spicy fries
    Alice B.

    First time eating here. I've saw a few post on Facebook. We drove 37 miles to this location. Our waitress was great. She made us feel very comfortable. The lemonade and sweet tea was awesome. We will definitely return.

    Corn nuggets are my weakness!

    This place was great. It took me five years to actually haul myself out of Tuscaloosa to go but it was worth it. It's another one of those "dives" that you just need to try. I went with my best friend and husband last week. Not only was the waitstaff nice, but so were the other customers! We got seated and our waitress was so sweet, she took our orders and got everything we needed quickly and efficiently. We ordered some corn nuggets as a starter and they are delicious! I had the bacon sausage pizza and my friend got the same thing. My husband had the triple loaded baked potato. You get a ton of food for a real inexpensive price! The atmosphere of this place was awesome too. All in all, this is a place I would recommend visiting before you graduate from UA or if you're just living in town.

    If you are ever in the New Lexington area and you feel the pangs of hunger, make this Big Al's your destination. Heck even if you are not that hungry stop here for the corn nuggets! Big Al's is a great community restaurant that is outstanding in the area! The congregations visit here after services, the Sheriff Deputies all stop here after training and of course the place is a hot spot during the little league games. As you sit and enjoy your meal, you can watch the pizzas constantly flowing out the door. We have tried almost everything on the menu and the top recommendations are the Steak and Onion Rings and the Catfish with Fries. But the Spicy Chicken and Smothered Hamburger Steak are awesome too. The staff are friendly and very courteous - they know us so well, that we don't even have to order drinks, they are usually ready for us by the time we are seated. After several years of eating here, I don't know of anything bad I can say about Big Al's! Watch for the specials!

    The original remains the best. Nestled in an African American rural neighborhood south of town, the…read morevery journey along an old 2-land highway is a throwback to a different South. The building is classic roadhouse style--totally unpretentious with its sign and adverts plaster on the walls. The interior is the same, open seating and seats at the bar. The menu has broadened over the years, rather than just ribs, white bread and pudding, you can get a pork sandwich and chicken with a limited number of sides (the Mac and cheese is superior). The franchised Dreamlands are so different with a plethora of choices, more to the liking of the suburban south. If you like that, go for it. For my money, you can't beat the original. The ribs are charred perfectly and the service is old time South, friendly and helpful. You immediately feel at ease with everything and everyone around you. Take out is available--actually this place is just minutes off the highway. But a whole another world at the same time.

    How do you not go to Dreamland. The BBQ was bomb. I loved the plate I got. I love how the building…read moreis just low key and nothing too fancy. Just a divey looking place. Our server was the sweetest. She helped my picky son decide what he would like, and she was spot on. The only thing I didn't like were the ribs which is weird. Just a tad too dry for me. I DID like the Chicken and my son got the sausage and I think Brisket....Anyways, we will go back next time we are in town for a game. Roll Tide.

The staff here was friendly and engaging and I can say that both the woman at the food station and the woman at the checkout were great. The customers were also friendly. This place had a great vibe. I ordered the chicken here and for my sides, I went with the potato wedges and onion rings. All were excellent. Prices were in line with what you would expect. The half chicken with two sides was somewhere around thirteen dollars and a large iced tea was I believe two dollars and fifty cents. Robertson BBQ is just about ten minutes off of the highway and it is definitely worth the detour. All in all, Robertson BBQ is a fantastic place for barbecue and I would definitely recommend it and I will give it five stars.

It is a short scenic detour off I-20 and well worth the time. The setting is an old gas station and the seating area is small. But the food is all the reviews say it is. Delicious! We had pulled pork sandwiches, baked beans, onion rings and homemade strawberry cake. All was very tasty. Others inour group said the ribs, chicken and grilled cheese were equally good. I like to find the out of the way 'mom & pop' spots on our travels. We give Robertsons BBQ 5 stars for food and 4 stars for seating capacity. Try it. You won't be disappointed.

I was disappointed that you could not go inside because of their fear of covid, but, I was able to order and they brought it outside to me. I ordered a half rack of ribs, 1 pound of Brisket, and 1 pulled pork plate with potato salad and baked beans. Back home (South LA) we have a BBQ/Smokehouse we eat from and the brisket is the BEST Ive found so far! But... Glenns ribs are by FAR the BEST Ive had from a restaurant! The taste, the tenderness & I really like the bbq sauce! The brisket was ok. But like I said, once you taste one thats way better ...well... it is, what it is. I am not trying to sound rude or mean, just always love being honest. Someone else may think his is the BEST brisket and thats great! I hope they do! Brisket was $20. bucks a pound. I bought a pound plus a half of rack of ribs. (Ribs were $25. a slab) Now, the pulled pork? Excellent! Very well cooked & even better with the sauce! The baked beans... were the absolute BEST! I wished I had more! The potato salad, was really good too! All around, I give this place a 5 STAR and recommend them to anyone to try at least once! We will order again before we head back home, Im sure. Thank You Glenns BBQ! GREAT JOB! Great service! Very fast & VERY friendly workers!
