Pruetts is always a good go to and has great food. I usually will pick up a plate weekly for my daughter and I to share. We love the chicken fingers, quarter white fried chicken, pinto beans and the fried okra! Most of the servers are pretty nice and polite. I see servers k familiar faces there every time I go. It is definitely a staple restaurant for Gadsden, Al read more

Couldn't come through Gadsden without stopping by my favorite BQQ place! 10/10 every time! I got a to go order of 1lbs BBQ with their red sauce. The red sauce is a tangy mild sauce and pairs perfectly with their chopped BBQ. Price is great for this much meat ($16)! I had some baked potatoes at home and put this meat over and topped with their sauce... it was AMAZING! Great home cooked style feel with great flavor! Classic! read more

Definitely my favorite place in Gadsden! We typically go on Saturday so that we can get their baked ham special, but honestly all their food is delicious! It can get really busy on the weekends, but it's a large restaurant so the wait usually isn't too long. The space isn't anything super nice, but it's a classic BBQ joint. The food is 100% worth trying! The service has always been great as well. read more

Pruett's Bar-B-Q - Baked hame with apples and hash brown casserole - Barbeque Near Me - Gadsden, Alabama

I had great hopes for this restaurant after a recent stay nearby for a festival. The food came out after a small wait and it was cooked fresh to order. My chicken tenders were real breast meat, not processed. However, for some reason, they were very tough to chew. They were cooked to a beautiful golden brown color and were not overcooked. They were just.....tough and unenjoyable. My friend was offered a chicken tender to go with his meal because one of the waitresses that delivered our food noticed that his fried chicken pieces were a bit on the small side. However, after a wait, the tender never made it to the his plate. The sides lacked seasoning and were forgettable. Overall, the service was decent, although we felt a little rushed as our server never asked if we wanted dessert or another dish to go but was served the ticket extra fast. Maybe the bbq here is the star. Don't let this review stop you from eating here. Just don't say you weren't warned. Oh, for both of our meals, we spent about $28. Not too bad. read more

Mid to poor quality food, very popular amongst the aging population of Gadsden and Rainbow City. BBQ is under seasoned, ordered their specialty loaded baked potato and received cubed ham as my meat option. Loud, crowded seating area if you are looking for a place to bring children, I've heard the specials are okay, but the 4-5 times I've been here have been grossly underwhelming. Would recommend trying somewhere else if I could only eat at one restaurant on my stop through Gadsden. The $1-$2 bbq sandwiches at their drive through next door aren't the worst option if you're looking to grab something on the go, burgers aren't terrible either, drive through is the only redeeming quality alongside the relatively decent service if you choose to sit down. read more

Great local place with wonderful warm service and very good food. I stopped here for lunch yesterday. The chicken and rice casserole with sweet potato fluff and butter beans hit the spot. Delicious. The sweet tea is excellent and I got a piece of peanut butter pie for later. Highly recommend read more

My wife and I took my brother and sister in law to Pruett's. The service was great and our food came out quick. Everyone at the table loved their food. Thank you for the great experience! read more

I'm sorry, I wanted to love this place based on the reviews but the pork and beef were dry and saturated in their super tart sauce. The mac n cheese, baked beans and green beans were good. read more

We decided to go to this place when we arrived in town, I was happy that I did. The catfish was done very well, and I ordered the sampler plater. It was good. My only disappointment was that it didn't come with spare ribs. It did come with pulled pork, which was ok, but I would have rather tried the ribs. The service was very good and the place was inviting and nice. We got there early and had to wait to be seated. It wasn't long, but it made the wait promising for a good meal, which it was . read more

I love to visit Pruett's when I go home . It's been there for as long as I remember . We got the friend chicken last time . Delicious!!

Our camping group had supper there we all really enjoyed the good food and great service from staff. We plan to return next time we are in Gadsden. read more

Very good food very good service the hospitality was amazing the food preparation was outstanding hospitality

Food Network raves about Pruett's Sweet Potato Fluff, and it's worth the hype. My only regret is that I ordered only one instead of six. Another item I could have taken six of is their cornbread. Kudos to Pruett's for having both a sit-down restaurant as well as a convenient drive-thru next door. If the drive-thru line seems long, don't fret: it'll move quickly. read more

Really excellent food. We had fried catfish, meatloaf, bbq chicken with multiple sides. Large portions, all the food was extremely tasty. The services was phenomenal. Very friendly waitress. Would highly recommend. read more

Food, Menu knowledgeable staff, and can easily problem solve questions with answers not provided with menu alone.

Pruett's is a wonderful family-owned and operated restaurant that has been serving the Gadsden community for decades. It is casual, down-to-earth southern experience. It's menu is big and features barbecue, fried chicken, fried catfish, and southern sides. There are daily specials aptly listed under "Screen Door Specials". I had lunch with my friend Tommy on Monday. Tommy grew up in Gadsden, and he knew I would enjoy a "locals" favorite. I had fried catfish and my two sides were Brunswick stew and collards greens. You can't get a more "southern" combination than that! You can order the catfish as either boneless fillets or the whole fish, and I choose the whole fish. It was hot and fried perfectly. The tender fish easily fell off the bones. My sides were excellent too. The collards were especially good. They were seasoned well and didn't need any additional vinegar/hot sauce. Service was wonderful, and overall a great experience. Pruett's is a solid choice for lunch or a casual dinner. read more

Great local restaurant with a terrific bbq vibe. Had the smoked chicken. Also the pulled pork. All were excellent and sides good too. Friendly service. Sometimes a long line to get in and parking is tight. Solid restaurant! read more

Delicious! My first time in Gadsden to visit some friends. Got carry out, but will definitely go back to dine in and probably will get extra sandwiches to take home! Very tender pork sandwich, didn't get sides, but will try a few next time. Friendly service and good value. They were huge and I had half leftover for midnight snack lol read more

Not sure how this one has slipped through the cracks, my apologies Pruett's for not getting this one written sooner. Do not confuse with Lil Pruett's, located literally next door and is just the fast (drive through only) scaled down menu so that you can get in and out quickly. This place is pretty legit. They can be totally slammed on a Saturday afternoon so make sure to allocate some time properly. Our server was very friendly and was patient with me as it was my first visit. It's really hard to go wrong with any of the food they have to offer, unless you just don't like something specifically that they offer. Prices are competitive and it will run you and a significant other $25 - $35 (including tip). Quality food from a quality establishment. If you've never been here before you should take the time to check them out. read more

After seeing the rave reviews on the internet, my family decided to give this restaurant a try. We have been trying our best to find some quality BBQ in northeast Alabama since we moved back here in August, but we haven't really found anything that is worth writing home about yet. We expected a place called 'Pruett's Bar-B-Q' to take more pride in their BBQ, but we were sorely mistaken. Not only was it soggy and bland, but they REALLY skimped on the sauce. They also somehow managed to make corn on the cob taste really awful. About the only things I truly enjoyed were the green beans, and I'm pretty sure they just came from a can. read more

Great place to eat Alabama home style cooking! Lovely and pleasant staff with Southern belle charm!! Highly recommended!! 5 stars!!!!!

What an awesome place to eat. Enjoyed it so much. Staff was super friendly and attentive. Sweet potatoe fuff was delicious. I did taste some coconut in it. My hubby loved the meatloaf, and he is picky about it! We went bother nights we were in town. Chicken and dumplings on Tuesday. Yummy! Might just pass through town just to eat there!! read more

Tried bbq in the south for the first time being from New York visiting my husband's grandfather in Gadsden at Pruett's and that smoky flavor on the ribs is on point. Mac and cheese is good and the coleslaw is probably the best I've ever had. The BBQ sauce is a vinegary tasty thin sauce that pairs well with the smoky flavors. Very busy but the wait was actually super quick. They got us in with less than a 5 minute wait for 3 people despite there being a line out the door and the waiting area full. Very good service and food. read more

Always one of my go to places when I visit Gadsden. The food is always delicious. Just know if you order the fried chicken, they cook to order so it comes out piping hot. My favorite of course read more

The waitresses were great, but this is definitely one of the worst barbecue places I've ever been to. The only thing I liked okay was the mac and cheese. The barbecued beef, which they didn't even call brisket, looked like a roast that had been cooked in the oven that they smeared some of their terrible barbecue sauce on. It didn't have a smoky flavor at all, and it tasted warmed over. Someone else at the table commented that their barbecue didn't have any Smoky taste to it as well. The barbecue sauce was like tomato sauce mixed with vinegar. It was very awful. Somehow the place was packed. I guess the locals like it but I have no idea why. read more

First time ever eating here. It was very good. The staff was friendly and atmosphere was nostalgic.

Have not been back here in years as we moved away and tried last night again with my Bride. Seated promptly even though they were very busy at 5:15 pm Friday night. Waitress Jaycie was a sweetheart, great attitude, prompt and attended to our needs through our meal. Ordered Catfish with Potato salad and coleslaw and Bride ordered smoked chicken steak fries and bbq beans. Everything was hot & delicious! Smoked Chicken was some of the best I've had in Years! Bang for the buck was great as got a peanut butter pie To-go and 1/2'd it with my sister! read more

The food was delicious. I really like the country side feel decor and the southern hospitality was great. I totally recommend for anyone who is passing by to drop by this place. read more

Another awesome lunch!!! Nothing bad here! The catfish is by far and away better than Top of the River across the road and half the price! Sweet potatoes are always great and the gals serving here are sweet, helpful, and quick to take care of you! Everything here is good comfort food and you won't leave hungry! Try the lemon ice box pie! We'll be back! read more
