Came from Fairhope just to try the Jalapeño Cornbread Pulled Pork Sandwich. My wife and I split it. It was huge and it was amazing. Heard about their peach cobbler from reviews here and tried it too. Warm and wonderful.
Ok, this gem deserves more recognition. I passed it on the highway and noticed the smoke coming from the building. I found out that it was a smokehouse and found a very interesting and southern style menu. The Hotcake sandwiches have just about everything on the menu in it, and I highly recommend stopping by to check out this place.
Down South Barbecue is at 19891 County Rd. 10, Foley, AL, in the gravel area behind the Shell station. As of July 2022, this BBQ joint has a new owner, Golden Parachute Enterprises LLC which is a newly formed local Foley company that makes this a locally owned and operated business, and I prefer those. While it's been serving barbecue on the coast, on the way to the Alabama beaches, for many years however now there's a new sheriff in town so I thought it's about time to chime in on the unique experience. I'm not going to compare the old owners to the new so this is strictly what to expect now. I miss the cornbread sandwiches, but the cobblers are good, and the sides are good, but let's talk Q. The brisket is not bad at all, not Texas but good, but the ribs are seriously legit. I've had ribs all over the country, and dozens of spots in Memphis and as compared to Memphis ribs these are very good. They're served dry, as Memphis does, and their barbecue sauce is perfect for these ribs. Tender, not too fatty, juicy, and just the right amount of smoke. If you're looking for a darn good rib they have got them here. Located between Foley and Gulf Shores just off Hwy 59. Look for it behind the shell station at the intersection of County Rd 10 & Hwy 59. There's outside dining only with picnic tables both covered and open-air as well as covered and screened-in too. Closed Sun, Mon Tues. In the past payment was by cash & checks only but they now accept cards as well. Bottom line: Friendly windows service, reasonably priced, and smokey as Q should be. Recommended Hours: Wed-Fri 10am-6pm Saturday 10am-4pm (Seasonal hours may vary) Both their website and Facebook pages are out of date but here they are: https://m.downsouthbbq.com/ https://www.facebook.com/pages/Down-South-BBQ/185384064809909
So I won 1 lb of pork for a year and today was the day we picked it up.. it was delicious ,tender ,cooked perfectly..we also got homemade mustard potato salad and homemade Cole slaw to to along with it..it was all so tasty and the people were so friendly..on our way out the owner came out to talk ,what a nice guy..I can't wait to go back and try the turkey plate ..and you can smell it a just like they advertise.. you won't be disappointed as I m sure everything there is awesome .. this is also locally owned which we try and support first before a chain ..
Not many more BBQ joints further south than Down South BBQ between Foley and Gulf Shores. Down South BBQ has everything that meets the list of criteria for an one-stop-hole-in-the-wall BBQ joint. There is no dining room but there is an enclosed structure built with picnic tables underneath it. You walk-up and order at a window. The BBQ is superb and there is an unique dish you can't find anywhere else. My buddies and I came down to Foley to play disc golf and eat BBQ. After some research and viewing an unique entree, Down South was the winner. The unique entree I am talking about is the Cornbread Pork Sandwich. The sandwich is made with cornbread that looks like a pancake. You can choose regular or jalepeno cornbread. The sandwich comes with pulled pork, slaw, and tangy BBQ sauce on it. This sandwich is an epic, brilliant, masterpiece! It was worth more than the $9 I spent. As much as I love BBQ and I never know if I will have a chance to return since I live on the other side of Alabama, I had to have the rib plate too! The ribs were pretty good but a little tougher than my liking. The sandwich was soooo much better! There are several sides to choose from but I went with the horseradish potato salad and beans. The horseradish potato salad is made with red potatoes and you guessed it, creamy horseradish. I had never had another potato salad like it and I liked it more than the beans. The beans were ok but made with pork. Other sides include mustard potato salad, mac and cheese, and slaw. All sides are homemade. There are 5 sauces: tangy, sweet, hot, white Alabama sauce, and horsey sauce. This is not Arby's by the way. The tangy, sweet, and hot are all a tomato-vinegar base sauce. The one I enjoyed the most though was the white Alabama sauce. Their white Alabama sauce is made with horseradish. It is definitely an unique BBQ sauce. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Down South is a legit BBQ place. If you ever go here once, the cornbread pork sandwich is the must-have order.
Loved this place. When I found it on Google Maps, the maps said that it was "busier than usual". Apparently the algorithm was not working as when we drove up the place looked closed. It is literally a hole in the wall location, but decided to go up to the window and order. It was the smart move. There was a rare lull in business and so our food came out super fast. The food was so good. The best barbeque I have eaten in a long time. I LOVED the brisket. So good. The corn bread pancake that was used as the top and bottom of the sandwich was so good as well. Also the potato salad had horse radish in it. So unique and so good. As a special bonus, we had a local that ended up sitting next to us and talked our ears off about the many virtues of Gulf Shores. He was great and led us to many cool places there. I can't guarantee if you go to Down South that he will be there for you, but you can hope. As we left, the place was packed. We couldn't have timed it better. Go us! Go Down South Barbeque. Can't wait to get back to you.

Just a small walk up to the window BBQ restaurant, but the most delicious pulled pork. Their most popular sandwich is the SOB- slaw, onion and beef (pork). There is a screen room to eat your meal at picnic tables. Don't miss this small restaurant for a meal here or take it "to go"! read more

On vacation with the family and decided we wanted some authentic Alabama barbecue. Down South Barbeque did not disappoint. If you want real good barbecue, then this is the place. I am always looking for local gems. This is it. We had the ribs platter and the pulled pork sandwiches. Got coleslaw, baked beans, and mustard potato salad with sweet teas. So good! So flavorful! And good portions. The service was friendly and fast. There is some outdoor patio seating with picnic tables in a screened in porch. Perfect. I am all for low-frills. So, be ready for plastic forks and paper towels. And remember--doesn't matter what the food is packaged in when the food is that good. We will have to get some bread pudding as the young man at the window informed us it is delicious and made by his grandmother. Just remember to bring cash (no debit or credit cards). Definitely a bang for your buck barbecue!! Thank you Down South Barbeque for a memorable meal! read more

Wow, so happy I found this place. Actually smelled the smoke from 59 while at a red light, and was drawn in. They use pecan wood, and use wood burning only for energy source. The owner was very friendly and informative, and showed us around the smokers. We had the SOB... slaw , onion, and bbq pulled pork. The sides are homemade, including a killer horseradish potato salad. Dont mess around at those other BBQ joints in town. This place is the real deal...behind a gas station off the highway, like all the good BBQs. read more
