Full Moon BBQ has the best slaw I've EVER tasted! No matter how full I am, I'd always find room for that side. I could seriously eat the whole batch. The baked beans are very flavorful and delicious too. I usually order the bone-in ribs, but you never know what you're gonna get. Sometimes they're meatier and juicier; other times they're cooked more, with a burnt-like skin. I personally like a little fat on mine, and those portions often lack that. But then come the onion rings. Oh my. I tried them today, and they were wonderful. Some Yelpers complained you don't get many. Well, I had to bag some up because I couldn't finish them alongside my other sides. These are not rings -- these are onion wreaths. Huge slices, made in-house, with a breading so good it should be illegal. I will definitely order them again, and I recommend others risk the carb coma. In fact, I bagged up most of my other sides too. It was a lot of food for one sitting. I felt like a bear preparing for hibernation. My husband commented that Memphis is known for barbecue, but Alabama has some great places too. Full Moon Barbeque is a prime example. Oh, and if you want to sample something on the menu, they're happy to oblige. I wasn't sure about an item, so they let me try it - much better than ordering a full portion and being disappointed. Honestly, I don't think you'll be dissatisfied with anything on the menu. The service here is excellent. Everyone is very friendly, helpful, and mannerly. They genuinely want to make sure you enjoy your food. They check on you without hovering, and they seem to actually care about your experience, not just turning tables. It's the kind of service that makes you want to come back. One more thing: if you want authentic Southern sweet tea, order it here. It's mouthwatering -- literally. The kind of sweet tea that makes your eyes close for a second after the first sip. Add a lemon slice, and you'll want more even after you've quenched your thirst. read more

Everything was delicious according to my husband. He had a BBQ sandwich, small order of onion rings, & carrot cake end piece 2 large drinks & it came to $26 & change. The BBQ was tangy, tender & the sauce was out of sight. The onion rings were huge the breading was crispy & tasty. The carrot cake was out of this world! Highly recommend! read more

Chain restaurants aren't usually my thing, but I'll try a small regional one every once in a while. This place was hopping for a Tuesday night, which was a good sign. I ordered the deviled eggs, smoked wings, and fried okra. Let's start with the okra -- if you're from Indiana, the only fried okra you've probably had is from Cracker Barrel or Church's Chicken, and let's be honest, that's usually subpar. This, however, was perfect: not greasy, lightly breaded, and just the right texture -- not mushy, not hard. The deviled eggs weren't as good as mine (and that's a high bar), but they were still flavorful, light, and refreshing. Now, the smoked wings -- anyone who's tried to smoke wings knows how hard it is to get them right without turning them rubbery. These weren't crispy like fried wings, but they had tons of flavor and were cooked well. The surprise of the night was the barbecue sauce. First off, they keep it warm in a water bath in crockpots -- genius move. Who wants cold sauce on warm food? Second, it's labeled as award-winning, and as someone who's usually not a BBQ sauce fan, I'll admit... it's pretty darn good. Overall, Full Moon BBQ delivered. Friendly vibe, great food, and a few clever touches that make it worth checking out read more

Full Moon BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Fultondale, Alabama

Amazing service and amazing food! The guy who took our order was just the nicest guy and the carrot cake was really yummy!

My husband came in on a Thursday night to grab a couple of sandwiches for us he got the pulled pork sandwich I had the quarter pound all American burger we were highly disappointed with the food my burger was piss poor and his pork sandwich was dry as a powder house & the onion ring were ridiculously thick in batter only tasted bread when I bit into it not to mention as my husband sat and waited for our food an employee decided to sweep near the area he was sitting and swept dust and dirt in his direction my big guy is non confrontational however the look he gave him said it all the employee never apologized just walked off this will probably be our last visit here the food has been subpar for a while but last nights interactions did it for me pics not worth it do I won't apologize read more

The food at Full Moon Bar-B-Que was good, and the service was friendly and attentive. My only real complaint is the atmosphere. For some reason, they insist on playing Fox News on the TVs, and it completely changes the vibe of what should be a relaxed dining experience. I don't understand why they can't just stick to sports or other neutral programming and keep politics out of the dining room. It would make the experience much more enjoyable. read more

Food was cold to lukewarm at best. This is the 4th time we've had our food cold coming from the drive thru. My suggestion is to eat there instead of doing the pick up order or drive thru. read more

Our 2nd visit here.....5 stars from me....4 stars from companion. My Big Beef (brisket) Baked Potato was awesome. Gigantic 'tater loaded with beef, sour cream, green onions (scallions) cheddar cheese, butter....heaven only knows what heavenly stuff was in it.... Companion's 1/4 chicken was flavorful but tough. slaw and potato salad both just so-so. Quick service, and great prices. read more

This Full moon is outstanding! Always clean! Staff is so kind, hardworking, and helpful! Food is amazing!!!

The food was absolutely amazing! My husband and I had the loaded potato. He had it with chicken and I had mine with chopped pork. They were BIG and extremely filling We will come back as soon as we can read more

We had delicious smoked brisket, jumbo loaded baked potatoes, coleslaw, steak fries, baked beans, chocolate pie, and key lime pie. The meat was juicy, the fries reminded us of Texas Roadhouse fries, the coleslaw was a yummy vinegar-based slaw, and the baked beans were sweet. The pie was disappointing. All in all a good stop on our travels. read more

The Greek salad with chicken and Greek dressing was delicious. The toppings included olives, diced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and feta cheese. The loaded Baked potato will be for my dinner tonight. The Sweet Tea was on point with my meal. The drive thru service was fast and the cashier was nice. The drive thru line was not slow particularly between the hours of 11am to noon. The Ambiance of this location is always positive and joyful. read more

This location is pretty solid. The times I'm come here have been without issues. My last visit was a few months ago to grab some takeout. The ribs are always a hit and are my fav!!! The service is straight forward and friendly. I've never dined in but it's roomy and TVs all around to catch your fav team in action! I'm not a fan of their parking lot but everything else is cool. read more

Service great bought first brisket sandwich. It was so dried out and tuff ,I just gave it to my dogs. Arby's is way better.

Amazing service, and the owner Tony makes it even better. It always feels like home, and the food never disappoints.

We just love the ease of ordering & variety of the choices at Full Moon BBQ ... we've stopped at other Full Moon spots & glad to find this one after traveling all day & it was close to the hotel. The service was quick & oh so friendly ... the tables were all cleaned & it's a cheery place - there's lots of variety for a chain & the food seems to be quite consistent from place to place (yummy & tasty). We love that we can order what we want ... go have a seat & they deliver the food to our table. The kids working here were friendly, laughing & all smiling - it was a joy to visit! We will stop again! read more

This should probably be a 3.5 star but the quick efficient service bumped it up. Stopped ere on my way through Birmingham. It is a fast food type of barbecue place. It has counter service and they bring your food to the table. I had the pulled pork plate with fries and collards. It was all pretty tasty. Extra points for having corn bread with the collards and pepper vinegar on the table. The greens were solid. The pork came with chow chow and sweet sauce. It was good for a quick service place. I enjoyed it. The fries were homestyle and good as well. The menu has many options and I look forward to exploring them in the future. read more

Oh Yelp! We love Full Moon. Tonight is date night, Bae wants this pork. He hit the riblets with baked beans and onion rings. He pleased! I got that delicious catfish and collard greens with a baked potato! This stuff here good. I love this fish! Y'all already know, when I'm made happy, I'll be back! read more

We Love this bbq place! We stop here every time we are traveling to Destin. It's about the perfect lunch spot. We always have our Yorkies with us so the fact that they have a patio with tables works for us perfectly. The last time we were there they actually brought us a giant bone for our dogs to enjoy! We have eaten many dishes here. The brisket is delicious, pulled pork, the riblets, all wonderful. Even the catfish was wonderful! We like that they have a wide variety of sides. Fried okra is my favorite but slaw, Mac n cheese, it's all good!! The best finish is the chocolate cookies which are dipped in chocolate half moon style. We buy a pack every time! Always crowded with smart people choosing this restaurant for their meal! read more

We chose this place due to the reviews and it went beyond our expectations! I ordered the brisket plate with onion rings and corn on the cob and it was perfection. I was a little disappointed because they were out of several of the sides but I guess when you are a hoppin' little spot like Full Moon it is to be expected! Highly recommend! read more

Pretty cool little spot. Friendly stag and quick service. The food was not too bad. I would rate this more of a fat food BBQ. It has been said to be a top 10 BBQ spot in the U.S. I'm not sure I'd go that far. But overall decent. A little pricey. Meat was a bit dry for me. If you have ever had really dry turkey, this is how the ribs and chicken were. Baked beans were great and and the slaw was a sweet vinaigrette and really good. read more

This is an order at counter and they bring to table restaurant. Quite an extensive menu. One of us ordered pork & Brisket, the other pork & Ribs. Everything comes out dry and you add sauce. None of the meats had/or tasted like they had any seasoning on them. Ribs huge, fairly tasty and tender, not fall off bone tender. Brisket lean and no flavor. Pork chopped so small it looked like scraps off floor. Pork did come with a grilled bun so you could make a sandwich. A few sauces white/traditional to choose from. Baked beans were very tasty. Coleslaw sweet and tangy. Mashed potatoes were mediocre. Overall their was a ton of food, but I felt quantity won over quality. Would not go back, to many other Barbecue places to try. Staff was courteous read more

My daughter and I rolled in here HANGRY after a long drive. We had tried to stop hours before getting here but it just wasn't working out. We didn't know what we wanted, we didn't know what they had, we barely knew who we were at this point. Everyone was friendly and helpful. They even had employees come by the table to see if we needed anything. The menu was easy to read and I asked for a recommendation from the employee. They let us know that the portions were pretty large. So we ordered a bbq plate to share and some extra sides. We really liked the brisket and the beans. I liked how the sauce was warmed in crockpots - I hate putting cold sauce on warm bbq! read more

The fish was good. It was hot and fried nicely with the right amount of crispy. I don't know what kind of tatar sauce that was.. it didn't have no flavor at all. The corn was hot and tasted delicious. The fried okra was ok. I also got one rib bone.. you can order them separately instead of getting a whole plate. They come in different quantities and fairly reasonably price. The rib was tender.. I was just disappointed that they didn't give me any bbq sauce.. and I didn't think to ask for some since I assumed one would come with it. The cookie was hard as a brick talking about famous .. Not!!! Based on that cookie and what they gave the magazine it must was a whole different cookie. I could definitely miss this cookie before I die lol. Because the one I had was very disappointing. I wouldn't waste my money unless you ask them if their fresh ... but the sign says fresh every day that's what made me want one because I took their word .. Very Misleading!!! Overall, the food here was good. It's worth giving a try if your in the area. read more

Tried this location and it wasn't bad. I just had a chicken baker, it was a large potato. It was cooked correctly. My only complaint would be that there needed more butter and sour cream for the size of rhe potato. read more

I have been a customer here for many years. I can finally see that the portion sizes have decreased. Today I spent $70 there to get home and find that my ribs were chewy. My chow chow and pickles were left out. Also paid for queso on my LA Baker to which there was none. Very disappointing! read more

Full Moon BBQ - Chicken Baker (with fries) - Barbeque Near Me - Fultondale, Alabama

Bbq is great. I decided to try cheeseburger... it was terrible. Wanted lettuce and onion. Was a joke. 1 ring of onion and a piece of lettuce about the size of palm of your hand and that was all crinkled up! Won't do that again! read more

We stopped here for lunch while en route to Florida. It's kinda fast food...but kinda sit down. The food was decent...we had a two meat platter, pulled pork sandwich and a "Big Baker (pork) potato for three of us to share and taste of each. I have never seen such a large, perfectly cooked baked pot in my life. It was the size of a brain. It was full of toppings and amazing to the last bite (I shared with two others). Their "famous" chow chow topping is a relish...loved it...and the meat was delicious. read more

Full Moon BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Fultondale, Alabama

This maybe the worst barbecue I have had out at a restaurant. Chains like city barbecue or mission barbecue are superior and better priced. Fries even came out half done and cold. One positive was they replaced those. And the woman's bathroom per my wife was disgusting. read more

Service is fast, and the food is very good. I've had the open face sandwich and I've had the ribs. I've had the pig in the garden salad(w smoked chicken) and I've had the onion rings. Every meal I eat had at FMBBQ has been very satisfying. Ribs are tender with just right texture. Seasoning is flavorful. Smoke is excellent. The homemade blue cheese dressing is fabulous. Everything is good at Full Moon. It's the one place I do t care what it costs, the food is that good. I did t even get to the sides. They are all awesome too. I love the greens, the BBQ Beans. And every thing in between! Love this restaurant!!! read more

The people were semi-friendly, the restaurant was semi-clean, the food was semi-good, and the wait time was pretty long (~25 mins after we ordered when most was already made.) I WAS excited to finally try a location after only have had catered lunches. The lunches were fabulous. The cookies for a catered lunch were warm and amazing. In person really let me down. The portions are big. I'll give them that. But the food was inconsistent. My wife and I both got a pork plate. Her's was very fatty, mine was not. She got a bun, I got a small corn muffin. The mac-n-cheese was ok, but Chick-fil-A's is better, say what?! It was a little bland, but was gooey...so that's good. The fried tenders were good. The baked beans and greens were solid. The potato salad left a lot to be desired. The consistency and texture of the potatoes reminds me of store bought salads. I won't accuse of store potato salad, but I will not get again. The burger was solid, but couldn't make it all the way onto the bun for presentation. They have steak fries...why? So many better options for fries with this food. They were ok though. But even after all that my biggest disappointment was the cookies. No way the cookies I bought tonight were worth $1.15 per cookie. And certainly not that nice warm cookie I've eaten a few times before. I was so excited to get these. They tasted good, duh it's a cookie...but they were very hard. Just not what I was anticipating. I hope to try the Huntsville location but I doubt I come back to this one. Our hometown of Decatur, AL, has at least 3 BBQ spots that "smoke" this one in competition read more

While I have been to Full Moon Barbecue, it is known for its delicious food, great customer service, and the Alabama atmosphere that captures the essence of BBQ and Roll Tide scenery. Many customers rave about the mouthwatering barbecue dishes and the friendly staff that goes above and beyond to make dining experiences memorable. The restaurant's rustic ambiance adds to the overall charm, making it a must-visit for those seeking a taste of Alabama's BBQ. read more

We found this gem of a BBQ place while traveling. Can't remember having better BBQ anywhere! Smoked chicken wings actually had a smoky flavor (a lot of places don't). Juicy and meaty wings with plenty of sauce. The fried green tomatoes were flavorful, light and had a crispy batter that wasn't too thick. The baby back ribs were meaty, tender and full of flavor. My husband said the potato salad was OK but the baked beans were great. The menu has plenty to choose from and prices are very good. The atmosphere of the restaurant is rustic and open, and not loud - so we could actually enjoy a dinner conversation. All the staff was friendly and helpful with food recommendations. This will be our go-to when in this town. Highly recommend! read more

I went through the drive thru today to pick up a pound of pork and french fries. It took almost 20 minutes to get my food. Apparently they don't send people to drive forward when their order takes too long. I received my order but it was disappointing. The pork was quite dry and the french fries were cold. I tried the fries as soon as I got them but if I had been in the restaurant, I would have sent them back. I hope this was just a bad day for the restaurant. read more

I can't believe the squash casserole isn't listed among Popular Menu Items yet. My family introduced me to this Full Moon after our reunion last year, and the squash casserole caught my eye on the menu board. Once I tasted it, there was no turning back!!! None of my family had tried it before, but once they tasted mine, we became the greediest cheerleaders of squash casserole that you'd ever want to meet! This is the BEST of the south. Squash casserole is one of those heartwarming, bubbling mixtures of hospitality that paired well with summer dinner in our house when we were kids. We've decided that whoever makes it at the Fultondale Full Moon is likely a long lost cousin, and we REALLY want to make their acquaintance!! I normally travel for work between home in Atlanta and my Memphis work site once or twice a month, and it has become the norm to make the detour on my way to I-22 to meet my sister for a squash fix most Sundays. Full Moon's service has also pushed this experience over the top. Once when I stopped in, they had sold out. **GASP**!! I explained that I really like the rest of their menu, but 2+ servings of squash casserole is what has me driving the extra miles, and I was willing to scrape the baking dish just to have it. The guy who was taking my order actually called back to the kitchen and mentioned this. Would you believe they actually brought me a takeout serving of the golden brown edges from that last pan??!!!! On the HOUSE??!!! This was THE BOMB -- and I'm not even a slang person!!! Fortunately for my order taker. -- Daniel?? Leonard??? Oh Great-Bearded-One??!! -- the counter kept me from leaning over and laying a big SMOOCH on him. I love this man, to this day! This is all to say, young people, if you are a veggie person, or a squash person, or just a good ol' fashion GOOD FOOD person, go to Full Moon in Fultondale! Squash casserole is the Sunday and Wednesday vegetable of the day, and you will thank me for it afterwards. If you see a brown-haired bearded cashier / server, with a good ol' Southern-welcome smile on his lips, kiss him for me and tell him Sharon sent you!! read more
