    Alabama pulled pork at its best with a great vinegar based sauce.Our baseball team stopped here and everyone loved it.Great food,great service,great atmosphere.I have been to both locations in Montgomery and they are consistent.Highly recommended by The Working Man Review.

    My dinner was amazing!!!!! The ribs and chicken tender and falling off the bone. My waitress was so sweet and attentive. I really appreciate that. The ambiance and music were relaxing and refreshing. I just loved my evening

    Unsauced ribs, baked beans and potato salad. The ribs have absolutely no seasoning!!! So bland! I won't order from here again!

    Use more seasonings on their meat. Not everyone wants sauce. Meat should taste good with and without bbq sauce!

    This newish suburban location does the trick if you don't wish to head downtown for the classic Dreamland Ribs. Plenty of parking, covered outdoor seating. Fair and friendly service. My group included 4 who had never been to any Dreamland. They loved their rib plates, the various sides, especially the Mac and cheese. Didn't know what to do with the white loaf bread however! Another thought the pork sandwich was generous, moist and tasty. Another loved the pork stuffed baked potato--still a great bargain on the menu. They would have liked more local beers and one insisted on wine and appeared shocked at the meager choice. On the other hand I was shocked that the place even had wine!" Didn't seem right? I got the half rib plate and was generally satisfied with the smoke, the lean meat, and the taste. Not overwhelmed. I would always opt for the original Tuscaloosa location, but my group liked the choice, are every bite, and were happy. Three stars for me but 4 stars overall for the group.

    We were the only group there, so service was great. But can't compare it to much. The potato was delicious, and the macaroni was okay. Cute bbq spot, I would return.

    There was so much to like! Overall though the experience was great. You DO NOT get service like this up North. We didn't have to ask for a thing. She had eyes on the table and brought extra napkins, drinks, sauces, etc before we ran out every single time. The only reason for 4 stars was that I felt the ribs were lacking meat really. It just wasn't what I was used to. It happens! However, the ribs were HUGE. Would we go back? Absolutely! This place is in my books as a must visit when I'm in the area. The fixin's were so good I could have a meal off of those alone.

    I'm not going to lie, we almost walked out and didn't look back, but it's a good thing we didn't. From the time we sat down it was about 30 minutes until our server came back to get our drink & food order (to be fair, she did bring us waters immediately. Apparently their new point of sales/service system is complicated. The okra is crispy. The slaw isn't too sweet and tastes like it's freshly made the day it's served to you (so you know it's not soggy). The smoke ring is noticeable on the pulled pork, something that's not always present at newer BBQ restaurants. Their sauce has a very complex dimension: tangy, spicy, smokey. If you can be patient with their slow-ish methods, then your tastebuds will enjoy some yummy grub.

    Somebody Dream g if they think is barbecuing. Absolutely CRAP. NICE LOOKING PLACE nice service. This Food taste like Cambodian dog Ish. NEVER AGAIN I would post a pic but you step in some Ish and it would be the same trash. I tried to post with no stars it wouldn't let me. So for the star I can say the place was Clean

    Nachos
    Coti H.

    Dreamland is home to my FAVORITE bbq nachos! We ordered some to go while in town overnight and they were so good! I love that the meat is in chunks and not shredded. It was perfectly seasoned (as always) with ample cheese and they let you dress it yourself (jalapeños, sour cream, etc). It was so good!

    The service was remarkably wonderful! You have never tasted barbecue better than this. I was amazed by the. This place has a wonderful family setting. I will come again!

    Ribs, chopped chicken, Mac & cheese, potato salad and barbecue sauce with a kicker.

The price of everything was extremely reasonable. The food itself was fairly good. The chicken and sausage were tasty. Truthfully the ribs didn't taste as good as they were hyped up.

The ribs were larger than expected with a tangy vinegar based sauce that made them delicious flavorful. The smoked sausage was just as good without being too dry. The chicken was juicy and we'll shredded, and the spicy rib wrap was well balanced with the portions that had some heat to the coleslaw due to jalapenos on it The sides were very good with the beans being the best option. The mac and cheese should have been the hero and while they were cheesy they lacked that favor you'd expected from a BBQ joint. The potato salad was decent, but nothing to write home about. Honestly the fried okra was surprisingly the second best as the sweet coleslaw underperformed Overall, the meats made the trip worth it, the vibe was amazing as it had that laid back feel and the service was great! They don't sell hard liquor so went with beer, but the selections we limited. I'd still recommend trying them out if you are ever in town. Cool spot that makes you feel like you're in the South!

Is it becoming harder to source the quality tender ribs or are the quality ribs becoming more scarce or inaccessibly expensive? Whatever the case may be, things took a back step this time and the ribs did not have the smoked taste as I have experienced before. Did the ribs need to be on a little longer? I ordered three slabs and large sides of potato salad, baked beans, and coleslaw. Surprisingly, the baked beans were the weakest of the three. The potato salad was markedly better and the coleslaw was the best for my tastes. I still maintain Brenda's is the place to get great smoked ribs, but this weekend was not their best effort. Brenda's is the best place to get your bones in Montgomery and I take them back with me to NYC because they're that good. 4.0 stars!

This bbq joint is definitely a hole within the hole in the wall. In a questionable area BUT don't let that deter you. You order at the window and hang out til your order is ready. (My only gripe was walking away smelling like bbq smoke) I haaaaaate this so bad! The rib plate comes with about 5 bones and two sides. $18 roughly. This was a serious plate with great portions! Definitely had leftovers. I got coleslaw and baked beans to go along with my ribs. Both sides dishes were exceptional! Sooooo good!!! The bbq sauce was amazing as well. Their menu has a number of entree items and traditional sides. It's cash only so be prepared. There is street parking and private parking available. These were some of the best ribs I've ever had!!!! Next visit , I'm getting a slab!! Yummmmmmmmm

The place is not the cleanest-- floors needed vacuuming, chairs were held together with duck tape.. but I pressed on hoping the food would redeem the space. Service was friendly. However, it was awkward listening to the waiter/waitresses/hostess/ kitchen staff have a conversation with each other across the entire restaurant. This was especially true after a patron sent something back and the kitchen came out loudly exclaiming that they wanted to see the food that "wasn't good enough." I had the fried chicken, greens, okra, and mashed potatoes. The chicken was fantastic. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and the tastiest fried skin/breading. That's where the goodness stops. The turnip greens were flavorless and complete mush, as though they had been sitting on the heat all day. Mashed potatoes were clearly from a box based on the consistency, color and flavor. Gravy had no flavor as well. There wasn't enough salt on the table to make it all better. The okra came out about 15min after we got our plates. It was fresh, but again, flavorless. My husband had the fried pork chop. It was just okay -- cooked well, zero flavor. Butter beans were good flavor wise, but definitely seemed to have been sitting for a while. It was odd to us that the only things you could get to drink were water, tea, lemonade, milk, and coffee. The second star is only for the chicken. I doubt we'll go back because the above experience for $50 is not worth it.
