Chicken, potato salad, collard greens and corn bread.
John M.

While the staff was courteous and professional, I would have to say that was the high point of my experience here. The outside had a cool vibe and the inside had probably once been cool, but now they only offer takeout and the inside is cluttered with supplies and whatnot. Not the best ambiance. I ordered the half chicken and for my sides, I went with collard greens and the potato salad. As I ate at one of the benches outside, I found the chicken to be dry and the barbecue sauce to be mediocre at best (and that is a kind assessment). The sides were okay, though nothing special. I also found it a bit strange that the potato salad had the potatoes basically mashed instead of cubed. This place seemed pretty popular with the locals. It was pretty busy. Again, I just found it to be a bit weak overall.

Finally! During my short stay in Montgomery, AL, I have found AUTHENTIC homemade southern bbq. It was lick every drop off my fingers delicious! I was referred to this place by a gal in the Selma Visitors Center. Just a short drive from the famous Edmund Pettus Bridge. The staff was friendly and the food was delivered quick and hot! They aren't allowing dine in, so unfortunately I had to drive off with it, but nonetheless I enjoyed every bite!

Fried fresh with mac and cheese and collards
vivian r.

I had a good experience at Lannies #2. I had the fried fish with mac n cheese and collards. My dining companion had the brisket and okra and some other side. He did not enjoy his food at all. Poor baby. He wanted me to give two stars. But that fried fish I had was Delicious!!! It was fried perfectly and the flavor was so good. The Mac n cheese is advertised as homemade seemed like a short cut homemade. Food in Montgomery was delicious and homemade. If in Selma, I would totally come back for the fish. And the lemonade and sweet tea was homemade and delicious, unlike what we experienced when we got to Atlanta. Bottom line: fried fish delicious! Drinks delicious. Sides just okay.

Pork, Chicken, Brisket - Pulled.

Great folks. Great BBQ. Great sauce. Super friendly staff. Picnic tables out front to enjoy outside. I wish I tried the catfish - next time I'm in Alabama.

Swamp Burger (no bun), catfish, and okra.
Heather G.

The Swamp Burger was AMAZING! Side of potato salad was smooth, sweet with a tang. My friend described it as " refreshing"! She got the catfish and okra. We could finish all the food, but ate as much as we could until we were stuffed. A definite stop if you are in Selma!

Passing through Selma headed East
JP O.

Passing through Selma headed East when we came across Lannie's: simply delicious! Brisket was tender and well marinated in a vinegar-based, well seasoned au jus. Came with two sides: fried okra & collard greens, and corn bread all for $12. Dining room closed due to Covid but will reopen soon. Yummy Alabama-style bbq; we'll go back again when we're in Selma.

Beef brisket, collard greens and beef soup
Wels D.

Was in town for business and decided to check this place out. Didn't see any dine-in guests as most people were picking up pre-ordered meals. Looks like phoning in your order for pick is the way to go. Ordered beef brisket, collard greens, and soup. The meal came with a small piece of corn bread. Overall okay food in my estimation.. would go back for the soup and corn bread.

BBQ brisket, collard greens, cole slaw
Abbe K.

Delish home cooked bbq. The sauce is thin and holds a nice kick. The slaw is "just right" in terms of thickness, and collard greens typical if perhaps a bit salty. Comfy, booth style seating. Don't let the outside facade fool you. The food is great - a taste of real bbq in Selma.

Corn fritters
James R.

I'm giving it a 5 star because the food was awesome and the staff is friendly with positive attitude to boot. If you ever visiting Selma, Alabama please come by here to get a good meal. My wife had a bake potato loaded with grill onion, bell pepper, broccoli, cheese, sour cream, chicken and shrimp. I had the BBQ Brisket plate with rice topped with gravy and broccoli and cheese. We also took in an appetizer of corn fritters and fried green tomatoes. Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! Delicious to another level. Also it's very clean inside.

Now this is a "RIB SAMMICH"

If you're looking for the go-to BBQ spot in Selma, this is it. No question. This place delivers…read morethat authentic, Southern, mom-and-pop barbecue experience that you hope for when you're in Alabama. They cover most of the BBQ classics -- pork, chicken, ribs, burgers, and all the traditional Southern sides -- though no brisket here. Honestly? You won't even miss it. We ordered the 1/2 lb of BBQ pork plate with fried okra and corn nuggets (the plate comes with two sides, which is perfect). The pork was everything great barbecue should be: moist, smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. You could taste the care in every bite. It's the kind of meal that makes you slow down and savor it. The fried okra was crispy and seasoned just right, and the corn nuggets were golden little bites of happiness -- slightly sweet, crunchy outside, soft inside. A perfect pairing with the pork. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They gladly offered suggestions for sides and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference. Parking is right out front -- probably around eight spots -- and they do fill up quickly, especially at lunch. The restaurant was busy with mostly locals, which is always a great sign. The location is tucked away in a residential area, so definitely look up directions beforehand. There's a small street sign, but it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention. All in all, this spot has that genuine small-town BBQ charm with big-time flavor. If you're in Selma and craving real Southern barbecue, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

We had ribs for breakfast before visiting the civil rights sites in Selma and couldn't have been…read morehappier. These ribs are sweet, smoky, and tender. We also added in some fried hot wings, which were crunchy and pleasantly spiced. On the side, we enjoyed the crispy slaw and sweet corn nuggets. Of course we washed it all down with some sweet tea. Man, I wish I could have those ribs for breakfast every day! Also, the folks at Lannie's were really nice.
