    If you are looking for a shack for BBQ, you found it at Fred's. This is the definition of a hole in the wall. A shack beside a railroad track on the edge of downtown with a few outside patio furniture for seating. The menu has BBQ, chicken fingers, hamburgers, and hot dogs. I made a quick trip over from the school to grab a BBQ plate. The BBQ was chipped and had some kind of sweet sauce mixed in. The plate came with 2 sides and I chose potato salad and slaw. The potato salad was mustard base and chilled and heavy on the potato. The slaw was your everyday variety. My sweet tea was refreshingly sweet and my meal was $10. Overall, it surpassed my expectations. It would not be anywhere close to the best BBQ I've ever had but it was a whole lot better than a leftover lunch. If you are in Headland and looking for a quick lunch, check Fred's out.

    I am proud to bestow my 800th Yelp review on this new BBQ joint in my hometown of Ashford, AL. This…read moreis what we were needing in Ashford. The BBQ at ResQue is phenomenal! I had to try it all! I went with the CPR plate that is their 3 meat plate with pulled pork, ribs, and chicken. They were out of chicken so it worked that I wanted brisket instead. Out of the 3, the pulled pork was the best. It was unbelievably soft and tender with a succulent smoky taste. There is some kind of special seasoning they use on their meats and it really shined through on the pork and brisket. In fact, the seasoning really made the brisket. The ribs were ok. I feel like I didn't get their best effort at the ribs as they ribs were tougher than I like. But I had a friend tell me that his fell off the bone. For my sides, I went with smoky mac and cheese, tater salad, and fried okra. All were fantastic! The tater salad was the more unique of the 3 as it was tangy and spicy. It was also made with the special seasoning they use. There are several sauces as I had the original, tangy, sweet, and slop. There is a spicy sauce but I could not try it because the owner makes it. He was not there on the day I dined in. The slop sauce is a sweet vinegar sauce that goes well with pulled pork. I loved all the sauces. The tangy was definitely a ketchup base with probably some mustard mixed in. It reminded me a lot of Sonny's original or Larry's mild. I felt like the original was very close to the tangy but had a more mild taste. The sweet seems to be made with honey or molasses. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! I only get to visit Ashford about 3 or 4 times a year now but I will be back to ResQue every single time!

    Cool little spot in downtown Ashford. Purchased 1lb each of lean and marbled brisket. As the wifey…read moreand I waited for our carryout order the owner approached...wearing a nifty Christmas suit, and offered a sampling of burnt ends. WOW! And he doesn't even sell them, but if he did....oh my. The flavor was fabulous...I knew the brisket was gonna be on point. And let me tell you, we got home and sat down to enjoy some of the best brisket I have ever had. And it came from a small BBQ joint in my hometown...so,so good. Can't wait to visit home again so we can indulge in some good brisket again...please visit...A+ Sorry for the lack of pics...I'll update those in the future.
