Had the DDD burger, brisket sandwich, 1/2 lb burger, pulled pork sandwich with mac and cheese, extremely well seasoned fries, baked beans, and Conecuh sausage as sides. Everything was delicious. All of the sauces were yummy, the staff was so friendly, and service was fast. There are some tables inside to sit and some picnic benches outside. Good portions of meat and great sweet tea. read more

We normally love Meat Boss so today decided to try the breakfast. It was very disappointing. Both were room temperature when we got home (10 minutes). We had paid extra for sausage gravy on mine and it was wasn't on there. read more

I wish I could give this 10 stars! I got the hamburger fully loaded with potato salad and my boyfriend got the ribs with beans and mac n cheese. The white sauce is to die for. A little runny but amazing vinegar taste. The ribs are slow cooked and so tender! Great rub on them! Mac n cheese has the shell pasta and loaded with cheese! The potato salad was great with the red potatoes! The beans were my favorite! It was Smokey and had pieces of meat in them! My favorite side! This place has pictures of DDD man himself! This was amazing and will definitely be back to try more! read more

Everything tasted truly amazing. The beans and the brisket sandwich was a 10/10. The fires were a little soggy, not fresh or crispy. The service was great and the store was clean. read more

Well I now have the best burger I have ever had, The DDD, named after Guy Fieri. Patty was thick and cooked to perfection and the candied rib, Lord help me. The sauces were very good. The white sauce blows away anything you can get in North Alabama. You order at a counter and they write your order out on a paper bag. My colleague and I sat outside and I know it was freshly cooked since it took a few minutes to get to us. The inside is unassuming as is the building but we did enjoy the outside seating. The baked beans were also good with shreds of pork mixed in. They had a slight spicy kick to them but was not overwelming. I highly recommend Meat Boss when in the area. read more

Meat Boss - Cottage Hill - DDD Burger. Doesn't look like much but it was so much I could barely finish it. - Barbeque Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

We LOVE Meat Boss and if it was closer to us we'd go probably every week. The ordering is super easy and it's usually very quick! Last time we went it wasn't quick, but I think we came in right before all the catering orders were due. My go to is chicken on a sweet bun with white BBQ sauce. Toppings: coleslaw, jalapeño jelly, pickles, cheese Sides: - Mac and cheese is good - boss beans are ok - fries are really good as long as their hot - sweet potato is always amazing - banana pudding isn't the best but hits the spot read more

We went for my wifes high-school group that still get together regularly. The meats were awesome. She had the sweet potato with pulled chicken on top and Alabama white sauce. I had the pulled brisket on a round top roll with jalepeno jelly and sweet bbq sauce and fries. I really enjoyed my selection and the brisket was moist anf full of flavor. Her dish was very good but her potato was a bit over done but, tasty nonetheless. While we were there for the people, we found a lunch place that we will go back to over and over again. We will return. read more

Wonderful food and wonderful staff! We stopped on the way to do something else and figured we would try it out. My husband had the brisket and I had the pulled pork on a sweet bun. It was mouthwatering! Y'all come eat. You won't regret a single bite. read more

Meat Boss - Cottage Hill - We took pictures outside. - Barbeque Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

I travel all over and have been to all of the top BBQ places in Texas Kansas City, Memphis and many in Alabama and North Carolina. This place ranks among the top. I ordered pulled pork, brisket, and turkey with boss beans and potato salad. All of the meats were well seasoned and cooked perfectly. And I can't forget the sauces, man! The white sauce mixed with the sweet is on a whole different level. The sides, although not ground breaking, were very very good. This place is a must try, especially if your a BBQ nut like myself. read more

Some of the best bbq I've ever had. The brisket was the right combination of beef and fat with just the right amount of smoke.

Seen on DDD and knew we had to stop on our trip from Missouri to Gulf Shores. Food was great, Service was great. Had the shredded Brisket sandwich and Rib Candy. Brisket was perfectly cooked. Rib Candy was good, just you got more of it. Will stop again when we come thru. read more

Meat Boss - Cottage Hill - Pulled Brisket Sandwich with Rib Candy. Brisket is perfectly cooked. Rib Candy was good. - Barbeque Near Me - Mobile, Alabama

Visited this place based on several people recommending, was really disappointed. We had the brisket which was tender and well seasoned with sauce. Where this disappointed was the sides. They were below average for BBQ place. Baked beans were pork and beans from a can with some meat added. green beans were from a can with no seasoning at all. Potato salad was not seasoned and runny, potatoes were hard no taste. Cole slaw was the same no seasoning. Rib candy was delicious but over priced for what you received. Also there was not bread given on platters. I have lived all over the north and south and was disappointed- perhaps the expectation was too high. These are basics for BBQ. read more

The pulled pork is worth the drive! We loved everything about the experience and will definitely come again.

Saw this place on DDD and made a special trip to try it out. The barbecue was outstanding. We had the boss burger with rib candy and it was excellent. We got some sausage and my wife even loved it and she is not much of a sausage fan. We even bought their sampler package of spices and sauces. If you are within an hour or two definitely worth the trip. read more

Went by there yesterday and tried their Triple D burger that was featured on Food Network. It is a big burger with their rib candy on it plus you can get it in a combo with one of their sides and a drink. That was a lot of food so I shared it with my husband. It'd been a while since I'd stopped by and I appreciated how patient the person was who took my order and helped me with their order process. It's so clean and bright and the people who work there are so nice! read more

The Bottom Line: The Meat Boss is large and in charge when it comes to BBQ sandwiches. Would I drive over 7 miles outside Mobile to try some highly rated smoked meats? It does help when it's on my way to Biloxi. Walking in I was welcomed with walls adorned with license plates, and customer artwork drawn on the brown paper bags all their orders come in. Normally I order a plate of brisket to compare a BBQ joint against its peers but Meat Boss doesn't play like that. Instead they specialized in "make it your way" sandwiches. I ordered the pulled brisket with white sauce. The cashier suggested I also try the "rib candy." More on that shortly. Here's the rundown on my meal: Pulled Brisket: everything I wanted in a sandwich. The brisket was piled high and as a fan of white BBQ sauce (go Alabama) it paired well with the meat. Mac and Cheese: Your basic creamy macaroni and cheese shells. Potato Salad: Also in the creamy variety, a solid choice. Rib Candy: The cashier said this is what people travel from afar to get and I can understand why- it was the meat with the most flavor, a complex smoky and sweat combo. Maybe it was a good thing it was served in a small one ounce portion because I could have made that an entire side to my meal. What can I say? In a region where seafood and smoked meats rule large, the Meat Boss clearly owns the later. read more

Dude these are the best burgers in town. They don't taste too greasy. You're not going to find better food anywhere else. 1,000 stars

In the mood for bbq and found this on Yelp. Reviews looked pretty promising so we decided to give it a try. Pulled up to what looked like a residential neighborhood to a little yellow cottage that housed the restaurant. The restaurant had some seating inside and picnic tables outside on the porch. Me and my husband were hungry after a long drive but decided to split the pulled pork sandwich with two sides. We added extra toppings slaw, pepper jack cheese, onions and pickles. We opted for the baked beans and mac n cheese for our side but had to order the additional banana pudding side for dessert. Your order comes in a brown bag lunch sack. How cool for the south. All the quality goes into the food and let me say it was all there and then some. The sandwich was large and had plenty of meat and the toppings were the perfect amount to compliment. We decided on the sweet and spicy and the white sauce. Both were excellent. The sweet and spicy was just perfect for me. Not to spicy and not to sweet but not to runny. The Mac and cheese was creamy and the cheese sauce was delicious. The baked beans were also very delicious. The banana pudding was tasty and just enough for the two of us to share. My regrets was that I didn't take any pics. We planned to stop by and get more bbq for our trip home. I have to say this is THE BEST bbq I have ever eaten. RUN DONT WALK to get yours. If you're the owner and reading this post, call me we should open a store in Evansville Indiana! read more

Super cute & delicious! So thankful for Yelp!! We would've never found this place if it wasn't for Yelpers! On our way from New Orleans to Fort Rucker and needed some lunch. Searched for places off hwy 65 and came across Meat Boss. Knew when we pulled up we were going to like it here! Not too crowded at 1:15 on a Thursday so that was nice. Hubby and I both got brisket on sweet rolls. Then we each fixed ours up completely differently. He got a combo with beans and Mac n cheese. We also ordered the meat candy. And I got a chocolate chip cookie. Everything single thing we got was delicious! I ate half of the cookie before our food came out. Then we both polished off our sandwiches. I had a bite of the meat candy and hubby ate the rest of that along with some of his sides. He couldn't eat it all but wanted to try it all. He said they were equally good and got about halfway through each side. Definitely a gem of a find. read more

We have several people and all tried an each other's food. Loved the Rib Candy, Mac n cheese great, baked beans very good, fries nice and crispy, potato salad "white kind" mayo base I think was good. Smoked chicken good. I am not a big white sauce person but their white sauce was good. The pulled pork was tender but I am just not wild about the bbq sauce. The sweet sauce I didn't like at all. The sweet and spicy was ok. Service was good. Would like to try breakfast. read more

Fabulous food ! Awesome service and great location This barbecue would be had to beat ! read more

Best smoked ribs I've ever had. Excellent pork and beans. Super pulled pork and chicken. Great barbecue sauce.

So incredibly good, we wanted to find a true southern bbq spot and this was it. We had the chicken, pork and brisket and everyone loved what they got. Was in between downtown Mobile and on our way to Belengrath gardens. We would have come again during our trip if we were staying closer. Worth a try for sure. read more

Driving from California to Florida you have to try different barbecue! Luckily for my son and I we chose "Meat Boss" about 10minutes off the 10fwy near Mobile. I ordered the pulled butte with fries and baked beans. My son ordered the pulled chicken (same sides).... These baked beans were to die for! So hearty. They could have been the main dish. My pulled butte was tender and juicy. No fat. I had the Carolina and Spicy Carolina sauces on the side. Both were very good but I liked the Spicy more. My son devoured his sandwich. The fries (baked not fried) were very well done! Not soggy or overcooked. Not too salty. We started a conversation with LeeAnn. She was a sweetheart. Talk about Southern hospitality. When she found out we were driving from California to Florida for my Coastie son, she brought us some traditional Alabama sausage and the Alabama sauce to try. The best surprise was the candied burnt ends. Wow were they amazing. If you are ever anywhere near the South!!!! Take a trip to Meat Boss! read more

The best BBQ in Mobile HANDS DOWN. Also, owned by the best people. It can get busy so plan to wait a little bit on your food!

Always a good experience at Meat Boss! Great service, great food, and even better people highly recommended!

Really good bbq. Customize your bbq sandwich with excellent meat and sides. We saw it on DDD and had to stop.

Best BBQ. So many options but the process of ordering makes it easy plus the staff is so patient and helpful. You order your meat, what you wrap it in (bun, no bun, potato), sauce, and toppings, then your side. Have to agree with reviews get the brisket or pulled pork...delicious. For sides we had beans, mac n cheese, coleslaw, and banana pudding. All delicious. Beans had bits of meat, mac n cheese creamy, coleslaw great on sandwiches or by itself not to sweet and hubby said banana pudding was good and creamy. We will definitely be back. It can get busy but they are fast and it is worth the wait. They have also expanded the dining room. A must try. Sorry no pics of food. We forgot and were so hungry. read more

The food and service was awful. I am confused how this place even has so many good reviews. We recently moved here to Mobile and was excited to try this place based on the great reviews. When we received our food, I couldn't even eat it. It was disgusting and looked disgusting and not like real meat. read more

Very delicious BBQ. The smoked wings are amazing. Get there early because the wings don't last long. I highly recommend Meat Boss.

For the last few months, I have seen a BBQ joint in Mobile called "Meat Boss." That has been receiving high praise from several "Best BBQ" lists. The hype is real! First of all, the outside looks like a quaint home but dont be fooled. Meat Boss is more serious about BBQ than anyone in your family with a grill. When you enter, you order at the counter. Ordering here was a different experience than any other BBQ joint I have been to. I usually look for like a 2 meat plate. But at Meat Boss, it is almost like going to a "Build Your Own Burger" joint. After much discussion with the cashier, I settled on 3 ribs, rib candy, and a brisket sandwich on a sweet bun with pickles, slaw, and all the sauces on the side. They call out your name when your order is ready and bring it out in brown paper sacks. I had 2 sacks haha First of all, I sampled the sauces. There are 5 - sweet, sweet and spicy, white Bama, Carolina, and spicy Carolina. The spicy Carolina and white Bama were my favorites. The spicy Carolina was spicy but not hot. There was also a form to it than just the runny, peppery, vinegar Carolina style. White Bama was the popular Bama white sauce that is mayo-based and usually made with black pepper, lemon juice, and other variety of ingredients. I thought the sweet sauce was way too sweet and I love sweet sauce. The Carolina is exactly like the Spicy Carolina except with less bite. The Sweet and Spicy was better than the Sweet. I tore into my ribs next. These ribs had plenty of meat with an excellent black pepper rub on them. These ribs I would consider eating without sauce and I'm a sauce-aholic! The rib candy was next on the agenda. It costs $2 and the cashier described it as "the ends of ribs cut off and carmelized with brown sugar." I received more than I thought I would as I was thinking one big piece. Instead, I had several pieces chopped inside a cup. It definitely had a sweet taste to it and it was too much with sweet sauce. But with the white and Carolina, it was phenomenal with the sweet and spicy aspect. Finally, I made it to my brisket sandwich. Alabama is not known for brisket but this was among the best brisket I've had. It was tender with a smoky flavor, and had a good bark to it. It was on par with the ribs. I had potato salad as my side. It was made from red potatoes in some kind of sour cream - hint of ranch concoction. It was the perfect accompaniment to my BBQ. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Believe the hype! Meat Boss is a destination for any BBQ fan. read more
