I was alone in the line and the meat swamis were quick to serve. I got my standard Texas fare. 1/3 lb of moist brisket and a link of jalapeño cheddar sausage. Brisket was on point! Sausage was good, but not great. I usually don't get sides, but I did opt for the beef tallow fries. They were cooked to order and delicious. The building is modern and inviting. Most of the bbq places are shacky-chic. This place would be great for an after work gathering or birthday party.

One of our favorite restaurant---- food consistently delicious and the atmosphere is fun.read more

We ordered the Mr. Jim's Combo Plate with 3 Meats of Pulled Pork, Pulled Chicken and Jalapeno Cheddar Sausage with Baked Beans and Cole Slaw. We also got complimentary Mini Cornbread Muffins which were a treat. The food was excellent and I loved their Alabama White Sauce. We sat at the bar and service was fantastic. TV's in the bar area were a plus to watch the SEC Men's basketball tournament.

For me, the meats just missed the mark. I had the pulled pork, which really just felt dry and unseasoned pork, loosely pulled and dowsed with sauce. The boneless rib tips were interesting, and tasted ok, but I believe ribs or brisket would have been the better choice. Baked beans were solid, Cole slaw lacked any of the sweetness or flavor I was hoping for. It was great having real sweet tea again and the hospitality didn't miss. If I returned, I'd have to adjust my order. People were friendly and the place was welcoming, a great in-and-out spot for lunch in downtown Montgomery.

By the time you get up there to pay and get your drink cup, the food is already coming up. I ordered the pull pork plate with 2 sides and a drink for $11! Can't beat that price. The fries came out hot, the pork was juicy, and the greens flavorful. Doesn't come with sauce on it but there's plenty of options on the dressing table to pick from. The only downside is the parking situation... it's insanity, with folks here in work trucks, cars, motorcycles, you name it. The line just to get in the door can be long, but the staff does a great job of getting people in & out within the time of their lunch break. Pack your patience & give them a try!

I know people throw out places like Texas, the Carolinas and Tennessee as barbecue meccas, but I stand by my claim that some of the best barbecue comes from the great state of Alabama and Fatman's is great proof of my claim. I walked in and there was a line, but it moved fast and the helpless taking our our orders were friendly. The inside is pretty much low on ambiance, but the food is the real star here. Since it was packed inside, I got my food to-go and ate at a nearby park. I had the pulled pork plate with camp stew and potato salad. Everything was absolutely wonderful. I would definitely recommend here and I give it five stars.

Ordered the brisket grilled cheese and ended up with a plain grilled cheese with absolutely no flavor. Had a slice of cake to have a little flavor, but the cake was overly sweet. My friend had banana pudding and it was nowhere near homemade. Not worth the money. The bathroom was not very clean, no soap, so how are these employees washing their hands. Just glad I had something with me to wash up. I wish I saw this before eating, as I would have walked out. As we were eating, the employee came by clearing the tables and pushing in chairs, but never wiped the tables. Trying to figure out how this place gets rave reviews.
