I haven't visited due to elevated blood pressure from pork. Hypertension is one of the known killers.

Never had anything bad here , hamburgers are great , bbq is great , salads are great!

Oh my god this little spot was the best surprise of our trip to northern Alabama. We had the most incredible barbecue ribs and potatoes that I think I have ever tasted.

Closer to a 3.5 than a 3, but I can't quite bring myself to round up. Sally's is a tiny little place, like many BBQ shacks - only about five tables. You order at the counter. The service was fairly friendly and they brought our food as well as cups of ice for our drinks out to us. We ordered two loaded baked potatoes, a pork sandwich, and a smoked chicken plate. The smoked chicken was probably the most well-received. It was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Beans and coleslaw were unremarkable. The toast was pretty good - very buttery and garlicky. The pork loaded baked potatoes were just alright. They needed more sour cream and cheese, in my opinion, although I liked that they salted the skin; don't see that too often. The pork itself had great smoke flavor but was a little on the fatty side side and a bit too salty. The potato itself was also quite a bit smaller than many other loaded pork potatoes you get elsewhere, but the price at least reflected that. There was an option between small and large on the menu, but we weren't offered that option when ordering. I wonder if she assumed we wanted the small. Well, if you're very hungry, I'd say try getting the large. It's only 2 dollars more. Pork sandwich suffered from the same pork problems, but didn't have the greatness of a potato to balance it out - just an anemic hamburger bun. Overall, Sally's is an alright place to stop if you're passing through. read more

The bbq sandwich was pretty good. Average amount of meat, shredded pork. The pics posted on here with meat stacked high is not what you get. They were friendly and checked on us throughout our meal. It s a small quaint dining area with seating outside. Not bad for a quick bite passing thru. read more

Nice people. Great pulled pork. If you're looking for something a little out of the ordinary dining experience- you'll find it here.

So the side dishes are hit and miss depending on what you get and your preferred tastes. But the ribs and brisket were very impressive. I'm from Austin, TX so I've been exposed to a lot of good BBQ. The bbq in the Huntsville area is average at best. The ribs and brisket here though were tender and seasoned well. Best bbq I've had in AL so far and definitely reminded me of some good Texas bbq. Highly recommend read more

I had the pulled pork and the roasted chicken they were both delicious! The portion of roasted chicken was huge! It was juicy and maybe the best I've ever had! I'm a big fan of macaroni and cheese but wasn't very wowed by it here... The banana pudding was Yum Yum Yum!!! I'm glad we made a stop here on our way to Tennessee! Well worth it! read more

Small town BBQ at its best. The smell of smoke will start the mouth watering before you even set foot in the joint. Menu is pretty standard for a BBQ joint with all of the old favorites, done well. We both had combo plate - a steal at $9.50. She had chicken and brisket, I had pork and brisket. Chicken was actually a half chicken, a lot of meat for half of a combo plate, and done rotisserie style. Brisket was tender and moist though a bit on the fatty side but not so much to be detrimental. Pulled pork was excellent. Sauces come in three: sweet mild, original, and hot. The sweet mild was a perfect counterpoint to the meat, and my SO said the hot had just the right spice. Sides were coleslaw, Mac-n-cheese, and potato salad - all of which were excellent additions to the meal. Also included a buttered piece of Texas toast. Tea has unlimited refills. Save room for the extra sweet banana pudding, clearly a homemade recipe. Excellent. It's a pretty small and sparse space, but you're not here for the decoration, you're here to get your read more

Wow! Amazing beef brisket (got the fatty end), and pulled pork! Sally (a man!) sure cooks a mean butt! His wife cooks a mean peach cobbler and is a wonderful hostess. So glad Yelp led us here! Upgraded to the Mac n cheese side. Don't miss the sliced fried potatoes, to die for. Save room for the dessert! Out of banana pudding so got the resse's peanut butter pie, and the peach cobbler with ice cream. Love this place, the people and the food! This "BBQ shack" is perfect and worth the drive! read more

Best doggone BANANA PUDDING EVER!! I had the beef brisket with Bake Beans and Potato Salad. It was good. This is a serve yourself Kinda place. Order at the front then grab your utensils and eat. No frills. Smoked chicken that the loud ladies had next to me looked great. My husband said the Bbq pork was average. He's hard to please though. I'd highly recommend this place. Get some PUDDING!! read more

Stumbled on this place on the way through town. Boy am I glad. Don't usually order ribs because most are under cooked and sub par but these were perfect juicy and easy off the bone. As good as the ribs at the old Brick Pit in Mobile. Pulled pork was just right. Lunch plates priced reasonably and the service was very friendly. Worth jumping off the interstate and bypassing the processed fast food. Try the seasoned fries. Recommend 100% read more

So fortunate to live near these guys. Not just our favorite BBQ but also some our very favorite people. We almost always eat the BBQ baked potato but the ribs are excellent, the brisket is always perfect, and those homemade desserts. Warm. Banana.Pudding. They catered my retirement lunch for us a couple years ago. This was maybe 25 people. One of the guys in attendance told his folks about it and they drove 100 miles from Birmingham to eat there. Genuine good food from genuine good folks. read more

Brisket was absolutely marvelous! Honestly, everything I ate was superb and I wish this place was (much) closer to where I live so I could visit it again. read more

Called them while driving. Incredibly nice people. Food is good. And pricing is exceptionally favorable. And you know what? They didn't spin the tablet to me so I could provide a minimum 18% tip for pick up. Loved that part read more

By far the best ribs I have ever eaten. Very affordable and good portions. I also recommend the banana pudding.

Best smoked chicken Ever! Pulled pork was great too with Spicy BBQ sauce. Chipotle slaw, baked beans, and sliced fried potatoes were really good too. HOMEMADE BANANA PUDDING was awesome! The food was top notch and the place was really clean although the bldg doesn't look like much from outside. The food was well worth driving out of our way for it. read more

negative stars!!! We were so excited to visit this place. Off the wall, out of normal route. Place looked like it was good and could smell the residual bbq from the place. BUT THEY WERE CLOSED!!! Google reports them open. It's 10:10 am on a Wednesday the door sign reports opening at 10 am. No smoke no cars the place looked deserted. So disappointed. read more

If you are vacationing in the area this restaurant is a must!! Fresh and absolutely incredible! The owners are so kind. Run, don't walk! Get a half pound of the pork and half pound of brisket and if you're lucky, and any is left, get some of their homemade dessert. read more

Yummmmm. Wow all I can say is I'm glad we happened upon this place from some yelp reviews. The brisket was very tender and flavorful and ribs fell off the bone.

5 Stars...top to bottom... After cruising around Little River Canyon, my mom and I were in search of some lunch. Yelp led us to Sally's and we instantly felt like part of the family. The staff was friendly, the food was out of this world, and the prices were very reasonable. The smoked chicken and brisket left us both full and happy we came. read more

Traveling thru Ft Payne and couldn't pass up Sally's based on previous Yelpers' reviews. They weren't wrong! The big test for barbeque is whether the meeat's terrific without any sauce, and Sally's pork and beef brisket both pass with flying colors...plentiful, juicy, just smoky enough...pork was pulled, brisket sliced. Beans were OK, slaw was good, banana pudding wonderful. read more

Easy to get to from the highway. Very clean and cozy building with indoor seating. Food was incredibly affordable and absolutely amazing. The pulled pork melted in your mouth and the chicken half was smoked to perfection! Banana pudding and Mac and Cheese were some of the best we have ever had! Service was very fast- made for the perfect pit stop on our long road trip! read more

We called another local bbq establishment at 6:55 (not realizing everyone closes at 7:00 on Fridays) and were told they were closing and couldn't take our order. We called Sally's and they were so kind and happily took our order. When we arrived and they were closed. They also closed at 7:00 but never said a word. Our food was delicious and they were so nice!! We will only call Sally's from now on, even without Jo jos it's definitely better! read more

We had takeout (dining in is closed). I had the smoked chicken that was really tender. My husband had the bbq and it was really tender. Melt in your mouth tender. We would highly recommend the bbq. The sides were average (we had beans and slaw) but the meat set it apart from other bbq restaurants. If back in the area, we would definitely go back! read more

A worthy stop for barbecue hunters working their way through northern Alabama. Hickory smoked ribs are sublime. The brisket is the best I've encountered east of La Grange, Texas. But the real standout at this friendly little place is the deeply flavored, perfectly smoked chicken, not to be missed. (If you choose the other meats on a plate you can add a leg quarter.) Bonus: VERY reasonable prices as your reward for disposable plates and utensils. read more
