Down home country food, very tasty and plenty of it. The place was a bit busy, but service was still good, helpful, and very friendly. No issues answering questions with ease and a smile. Kind of a neat ambiance in an old gin. Likely the old office building. Aged metal siding or roofing on the ceiling. Very nice. The wife and I had the BBQ ham, and shared sides of green beans, slaw, onion rings, and baked potato. Really good and very filling. Definitely a real treat for small town Elkmont. read more

See all

Very good pulled pork BBQ, even better homemade pies for dessert. The service is always friendly and they are attentive to the customer needs. The ambiance is rustic country and clean. read more

Go to the Gin House 2-3 times a month. Food is very good, and the onion rings are the best I have found about any place. All the staff provide top notch service. I have had the burgers, BBQ, and the ribeye sandwich. All are priced fairly. And if they haven't sold out for the day, get a slice of the coconut cream pie. read more

Reminded me of a old timey food place for a Very tasty excellent burger!! Love this place!

We love when Caitlyn waits on us she is the best waitress there is. Their burgers are great. The chicken wings are wonderful. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Great food. Great service. Hometown restaurant supporting the local community. Great owners and great workers.

I've only had the lunch/dinner once and it was good. But I really like their breakfast, and I've gone there specifically for breakfast half a dozen times over the last couple months. I've tried a couple different things and they have always been excellent. And all the staff are polite and professional. read more

Meh. Not great. The only restaurant in Elkmont so they do not have to provide good food or good service. I am a local and am tired of trying to eat at this place and each time I try am told they have no tables (when there are many open) or that it will be a wait for food before even sitting down to order (???) or they are out of something. Is it too much to ask to have one restaurant that cares enough to get it together? read more

The drive-thru system is terrible. They allow vehicles to order at the window, and people that call orders in have to sit behind them while their food gets cold. Just ask the people that order at the window to wait in the parking lot and then pull around closer to when their order will be ready. read more

My go-to place when in town. The catfish always hits the spot and the employees are super nice and attentive. They recently renovated and it looks great! They have a room to the side for large groups too. read more

Gin House Barbeque - Oops. Sorry you missed it! It was a wonderful pulled bbq pork sammich w/sweet tater fries n great coffee. - Barbeque Near Me - Elkmont, Alabama

Good southern cooking. Good prices. Love the sweet potato fries and their vinegar slaw.

Went there for 3 years. Barely would have the order correct. Chicken wings tasted more like liquid hickory smoke was added than actually smoked (in a smoker). When going back to have the order corrected because 9 times out of 10 stuff was missing, the teenagers that you would talk to, did not care. Nor, did the manager. Finally, I gave up on that place. It's sad due to the fact that they are the closest food business to us. If they had one adult manager on the premises that cared it would make all the difference. I feel sad that the people that work there don't care they are ruining the reputation or if the business goes under. They just want their hourly wage and no responsibility to even get a food order correct, let alone cooked correctly. read more

This was a pretty good meal on a cold Saturday night. We had the fried pickles (so salty!) the bacon cheeseburger and the (one trip only) salad bar. The salad bar was tiny but great and the service was super fast. My boyfriend highly recommends the chocolate pie! read more

Seems to be a family run operation a little off the beaten path. I had some time to kill on the road so I thought I'd check it out. The ribs were ok, and the pork q a little above average. Four styles of sauce. All delicious. I personally fell in love w their homemade white sauce. The did have some of the best baked beans I've had and they know how to make slaw. If I lived nearby, I would make this place a habit. read more

Gin House Barbeque - the front of the building - Barbeque Near Me - Elkmont, Alabama

Had the catfish and fried pork chops and both were good. The fried pork chops were soooo tender but needed a little more seasoning. The catfish was perfect. The pies are homemade as well and the coconut was probably one of the best I've had. Portions are generous too! Definitely not a white table cloth kinda place but was clean which is important. The lightening was a little dark. Wait staff was friendly and helpful. I would go here again if I was in the area. read more

Been hearing how good this restaurant is so we decided to come check it out since it's so close to home. Sorry to say this place is an absolute joke. The salad bar is just 1 helping for $2.99 and 45 minutes after I finished my waste of $2.99 salad from the 1/2 stocked salad bar our dinner finally showed up. The dinner roll was tougher than the steak and it was the worst excuse for a ribeye I've ever seen! Oh well. read more

Love the fish filet basket ! I also love that they have a drive through for pickup. I love our little town of ELKMONT !

This place is down the road from where I live and have had the displeasure of giving it too many chances to live up to expectations the bbq pork was awful tasted like dish water. Would not recommend eating here. read more

This place has the best smoked chicken halves we have ever eaten. You can taste the smoked flavor all through the chicken. It's all moist not dry. We have ordered food to go twice this week from here. It's really awesome. Even the sides items are great. The staff is very friendly & great atmosphere. We will definitely be eating from here again. read more

A friend at work recommended the place. But we didn't realize it was so far out of the way. But after finding it finally it was worth the drive. We got there about 2:30 and most of the lunch crowd was gone. Just kidding all of the lunch crowd was gone. It took quite a while to get our food. Probably because I ordered the smoked wings. They were worth the wait even though we didn't have the time. If I can find a quick way to get back I'll probably go back and have the wings again read more

I went through the drive through on my lunch break and ordered a cheeseburger and fries, was told to pull up and they'd bring it out to me. 30 minutes later still no food so I went in and there it was sitting on the counter, then they tried to ring it up and make me pay again. So I get in the car and the fries and burger were both cold. Called the manager and she said she could make me another one and I told her I was at work and didn't have 30 more minutes to wait for another one. Lost my business. read more

Cute little bbq place in a cute little town. We got the bbq pork and bbq chicken sandwhiches. They come with mayo, pickle and vinegar slaw, and surprisingly no sauce. But they were perfect without the sauce. The meat was moist and delicious. Paid about $3.00 for each and the staff was friendly. They have a drive through also. read more

Great breakfast place. Lunch and dinner is ok. But the breakfast is terrific. The milkshakes are really good.

Awesome little place to grab a bite of good southern food. Building used to be a functioning cotton gin back in the day. I drop by at least once a week for lunch or dinner with the family. Catfish fillets, pulled ham(potatoes or the family bbq pack), cheesesteak sandwiches, bacon cheeseburgers, hushpuppies, and fried okra are our favorites. Homemade taste that doesn't cut corners for quality. Specials daily, and a viewable food bar inside. Lighting is a bit low, but there are plenty of windows. Amazing white sauce. Don't be afraid to ask for anything, they'll do their best to accommodate you! Dine-in or Drive-thru, service is timely for what you order. A++. Located less than 10 minutes west from I-65, definitely skip the fast food for this local favorite. Enjoy the drive through, or maybe even a pitstop at one of our shops in historic downtown Elkmont, but don't blink ;) read more

The cutest little bbq place - completely local fare with the sweetest staff. They have a drive thru window and offer a bagged lunch special, but we always go in to eat. Everyday they offer a different special. Everything is delicious and it's definitely great down home southern cooking. The fried pickles are delicious and they serve excellent pulled pork bbq with several choices of bbq sauces including a white sauce. The platters are huge and come with hush puppies or bread. read more

Had some time to kill so I stopped here before a sales call in the area. Excellent catfish, some of the best I've ever had, sides were great too. read more

This place is not but 10 minutes off of I65 and well worth the detour. We had bbq and catfish. Both were great, especially the bbq. The sides were pretty good, but avoid the steamed vegetables. I think they were frozen. But the beans and slaw were great. Service was a little sketchy. read more

Stopped it the other day for a quick bite. Got the chicken plate dry inside burnt outside still kind of pricey. Most likely will not go back due to prices and quility of food read more
