Was in Jasper, AL today, decided to pick up some BBQ to take home. Stopped by Son's smokehouse and…read moregave it a try. I picked up a Boston butt and some banana pudding. The whole but was fresh off the smoker and wrapped in double aluminum foil for travel and then placed in an aluminum pan. Super easy to reheat when I got home. The meat shredded easy with my fingers and left a nice clean bone. A crisp layer of dark bark led to a nice juicy fat layer. The meat had a nice smoke ring inside with a warm pink center. This was the best pork I have had in a while. No wonder when I was leaving another customer said: "Hope you enjoy, it the best meat around!" Banana pudding had a nice vanilla pudding with large chunks of bananas plenty of vanilla wafers. Will make sure I stop by again, next time I am in town.

Wings were smoky and tender and juicy! Was able to talk with Daniel for a few minutes. Now I know one of the best pit masters around!

The people of Fayette have spoken and Sam's is the favorite BBQ spot in town at least according to…read morethe few locals I asked. Several of the aforementioned locals specifically praised the wings and potato salad. Based on a few glowing recommendations a friend and I have them a shot. We each had the smoked wing plate and we each had the potato salad. For $9.00 you get 8 jumbo smoked wings and two sides. The wings had great flavor. My only recommendation would be to maybe offer a sauce vs packet Texas Pete and the 2 house Bbq sauces. They are famous for smoked chicken so a white sauce would have been nice. Fortunately, I really like Texas Pete and it was a nice accent to the smokey flavor coupled with the house made ranch for dipping. Ribs, wings and smoked chicken are among what appeared to be the most popular items. Sides are basic BBQ joint options with good potato salad (no sweet pickle relish in the loaded potato salad). I went against my norm and didn't order the onion rings. That was my mistake, which I won't make again when, not if, I go back. I saw them on a few other people's plates and they appeared to be hand battered real deal! The house sauce is a mustard/ vinegar base with a sweet finish. They had a second sauce with a traditionally deep red hue that was smokey and sweet. I personally do not care for sweet BBQ sauce. My buddy really liked the gold colored vinegar / mustard based sauce. The people were friendly and the parking lot was full around 11:45. The interior was clean and well maintained. We actually got the last available table at the time, which didn't deter people from ordering and cozying up to smaller parties not occupying their entire space. Shining example good small town mom and pop BBQ operation. They finished 2nd overall in AL.com poll of Tuscaloosa readers for best ribs in 2014. I will be back and if for whatever reason you find yourself in Fayette, Alabama I would absolutely recommend giving this little place a shot!

We loved that the rib meat practically fell off the bone when picking it up. The ribs were tender and had a great flavor, not too Smokey. I ordered it without the house dry "dust" and enjoyed them with tasting all three BBQ sauces that are conveniently left on the tables. The slaw was super fresh and not overpowered by a lot of creamy sauce, just enough for flavor. The baked beans had a great bbq pork flavor and were fresh and hot. We had a great server. She put the house rib dry "dust" on the side and suggested to sprinkle it on the french fries my husband substituted for the beans; great idea!! The atmosphere has a fun nostalgia flare to the Shack style construction. We will definitely return.

I knew I picked a fantastic BBQ joint with all the Friday the 13th inspired window paintings. There is no combo plate but that didn't stop the waitress for making it happen for me. I ended with a pulled pork sandwich, half rack of ribs, 4 oz brisket, potato salad, and beans. Texas Toast added a different element to the pulled pork sandwich and the pulled pork was soooo tender and smoky. My 4 oz brisket was moist with a good bit of marbling. The ribs were baby back variety with a fantastic rub. They were not fall of the bone but they did not give my jaw a workout. As I was contemplating sides, my waitress said the beans were her favorite. Make me a fan too because these beans were tangy, smoky, and subtly sweet. I might dream about the beans though that sounds weird to say. Potato salad was creamy with deviled eggs and bacon mixed in. There are 5 sauces - red (mild tomato), mustard (made with dijon), white, spicy vinegar, and hot. Overall the red was the best. I love mustard BBQ sauce but the dijon didn't do it for me. The white was solid. The spicy vinegar and hot were thin but packed with flavor. All went well with the pork but only the red was good with brisket and ribs. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Don't knock this up to an Alabamian in dire need of Bama BBQ as Porky's Pride belongs among Alabama's best BBQ.
