Delicious! Chicken stew, ribs, slaw & Coke. This is what I've been looking for: great local BBQ…read moreby folks who know what they're doing and have lots of loyal customers. Very casual, nice folks working hard, and friendly people in line. I sat at a table outside and ate with two new friends I just met. They've got everything in all sizes and combinations, but I'd gain too much weight if I ate here every day. Wonderful. Recommended among many good local BBQ places by a nearby recording studio tour guide.

Went there because of the reviews. The ribs were tough. No smoky smell or taste. I think they were…read morecooked in an oven. Unfortunately for them, there are much better places. The chicken was okay and it was tender. Not a place for out-of-towners, like us, because the only seating are dirty picnic tables outside in the heat. No wet wipes to clean up (a necessity for a good BBQ restaurant. I can't recommend but since I didn't eat anywhere else in Florence, I don't know if that's standard for around here.

Wow. I'm a bbq connoisseur from North Carolina but have had BBQ at hundreds of places across the US…read moreand I can easily say this is top 3 I've ever had and maybe even number 1. Don't let the small place fool you, it looks very unassuming but wow was I impressed. I had a pound of brisket and it was so tender and juicy and flavorful. Had a half rack of ribs and wow it literally melted in your mouth. The sauce on the ribs was fantastic but the yellow sauce for the brisket was out of this world. The mustard based sauce was unlike any bbq sauce I've ever had and had a nice little kick to it as well. The mustard slaw, which I had never even heard of, was delicious. It's certainly a strong mustard base but if you like mustard you'll love it. I don't normally go for dessert as I'm carnivore but I was so impressed with the meal I knew I had to try the desserts. I had the carrot cake and the butterfinger cake. Wow. Both were the bomb but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the butterfinger and I'm not even a huge butterfinger person. If you live within an hour of this place do yourself a favor and go here. I'd just about fly from NC just to eat here again.

Wings smoked to perfection! We literally drove right back to Brook's and bought 24 more. We've typically waited a few minutes for our orders, but I didn't mind. If dude is bringing me those wings from the kitchen, I'm happy to wait. There were no tables in the restaurant when we were last there.

Unfortunately, my wings were not edible because they were way too salty. My husband agreed. His were good. Somebody forgot they had seasoned mine and seasoned it twice I guess. The store was closed by the time my husband arrived at our house with the food so it was too late to get the order corrected.

Just had a couple breakfasts here, but looks like a really pleasant place for drinks and dinner…read more There was always live music wafting through the hotel lobby from Swampers each evening. Service efficient and really pleasant and helpful. Buffet scrambled eggs were the low point - clearly Industrial powdered eggs - but they'll happily make you fresh eggs or a great omelet. So long as you get good eggs, the bacon, sausage, gravy biscuits, etc from the buffet are breakfast worthy. Else order off the menu, it'll be a good plate of food as well. Probably the tastiest thing about any breakfast in Alabama will be the Conecuh sausage - If you're not already a fan, do give it a try (just order sausage in Alabama, it'll be Conecuh!). Wherever you travel, those local specialties are worthy of your attention.

We opted for a Pulled pork plate with baked beans and potato salad; and a wing snack with vinegar slaw. Pulled pork was moist and smoky. No sauce needed. Sides were excellent. Wings were cooked nicely and I added a little of their mild BBQ sauce. Gave it a nice flavor. The vinegar slaw was a little dry and bland. Could have used some salt. Overall good meal. No real complaints. Would go back.
