    Best beef brisket I've ever had Such friendly staff Awesome authentic little restaurant 26 dollars for more than enough food for two and a large drink... incredible prices Definitely eat here 5/5 for me!

    On the way down Highway 231 toward Panama City in the small town of Alford, you have seen the yellow country store as Barfield's. There is an accompaniment now for a hole in the wall BBQ joint known as Michael D's. The owner is from the Chattanooga area and brings a Tennessee flair to his BBQ. His meat is all Hickory smoked and everything is made on site. He does not offer 2 meat plates but he allowed me to sample pork and brisket. I went with the pork. After I told him I love BBQ and my personable BBQ, he gave me a little more in my portion-size. The pork was tender and had a real smoky flavor to it. The potato salad is a mustard base but had a little something extra added to it to give some acidic bite. The beans were really sweet. They had pulled pork, pimentos or bell pepper, and I am guessing brown sugar added to them. There are 4 sauces - mild, tangy tomato; a hotter tomato; mustard; and a white that has a sweet taste. I think I liked the white the best then the mustard. I didn't find much difference between the hot and regular. All sauces are homemade by the owner. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! If you have a hankering for BBQ on 231, give Michael D's a try.

    Growing up in the south I love nothing more than a little barbecue joint that looks like nothing but offers great food. This is that kind of place. Everything was spot on and no one while we were there left as a stranger. My 82 year old mother in law is still talking about how good it was and she can't wait to go back.

    We were headed back to Atlanta and drove past this spot. Made a U and went in. Best pulled pork sandwich and some Brunswick Stew. Best BBQ I've had In a while. Owner Micheal D , was so sweet and spent time getting to know us.

    Best BBQ on your way to the beach!

    M&W Smokehouse BBQ is a great dining option in the small Florida panhandle town of Bonifay…read more It is not far off of Interstate 10 and off on a sidestreet. If you aren't looking for M&W Smokehouse BBQ, you probably won't stumble across it. Walking in, M&W Smokehouse BBQ has a no-frills type vibe that just screams small-town restaurant. There is a sign that says seat yourself and since the place was pretty crowded (especially considering it was a Thursday). My server was absolutely fantastic. So friendly and helpful and checked on me enough. I went with the two meat dinner (chicken and pulled pork). For my sides, I went with the baked beans and a loaded baked potato. My food came out pretty fast and they brought out their homemade ranch dressing (which was very good). The meal as a whole was very good and the price was very good. I would definitely recommend M&W Smokehouse BBQ. I toyed between four and five stars, but went with five because of the great service.

    We stopped at Outback Springs RV Resort for an overnight stay in the RV while traveling across…read moreFlorida - we arrived at the RV Park just in time to experience a torrential downpour and had no interest in disconnecting our Toad to grab an early dinner so finding M&W Bbq on the adjacent property was exactly what we were looking for and very much within walking distance in between the rain showers. This is a beautiful restaurant and the staff here is nothing less than amazing. We seated ourselves and was greeted by our server after only a minute or two - the selections were good and the prices were very very reasonable. After reviewing our option our drinks arrived and we were ready to order. Before getting to the food I just want to thank the cashier for putting together a makeshift poncho for our trip back across the pack to our RV. Barbecued Chicken - We both ordered this as part of the two meat plate, we both thought the chicken was moist, smoky and basted with a light slightly sweet bbq sauce I'd definitely do this again. Smoked St. Louis Ribs - I love good ribs and these were pretty tasty, meaty and had a good bark they also had a slight coating of the came bbq sauce. Sliced Pork - Honestly neither of us was a fan of this, the portions was nice and it was plenty lean but didn't taste fresh from the pit I'm thinking this was done ahead of time and served until it's gone. Fried Okra - Served with their signature buttermilk ranch dressing this was definitely a hit I'd say a must have if your an okra fan. Crinkle Fries - yes they were crinkle fries Coleslaw - There are so many versions so this one stood up well a little sweet for my taste but chilled and refreshing most people will love it I'm sure. Brunswick Stew - I tasted a few bites but unfortunately it was served cold and there was plenty of food in front of me so I didn't request a reheat. Well that's the lay of the land, the RVers next door and locals seem to like this place. After talking with the staff next door I was hoping to get a taste of there Steak special but unfortunately that's on Thursday so we missed it by a day. I'd eat here again...

    This review is a culmination of years of less than fantastic experiences with Dickey's. I try to…read moregive the benefit of the doubt before posting a negative review but have had multiple bad experiences at this location. My husband loves going here and I go simply to make him happy. Today, however, was the final straw for both of us. In recent years, the product quality has decreased considerably while the price has increased. Today, we went to the drive thru and ordered two, two-meat plates and one single meat plate. All of them with sliced brisket. The two-meat plates also included pulled pork and smoked chicken. Two of the plates had what we THINK was chopped brisket but could have easily been pulled pork and only one plate had the sliced brisket we ordered. The meat was very dry and had little flavor. We had to drown it in sauce to make it palatable. The baked beans were too peppery, as always, and not enjoyable. The coleslaw was mid, the fries were limp and greasy, and I can't say what the mac and cheese was like because it wasn't included in the bag. My husband didn't check the bag because he refused to believe that Dickey's would forget something and I didn't feel like arguing about it since I was driving. These were three of the absolute worst meals we have ever had and the fact they cost $62 and some change just adds insult. My husband and I agreed that we will never eat here again. It's a shame really because Marianna already has limited decent options for eating out and now it has one less for us.

The ambiance is what you would expect from a Dickey's Barbecue Pit. Our server was friendly enough. For a chain barbecue place, it was a decent enough stop.
