To quote a popular movie, "Is this heaven? No, it's"...Alabama! Haha OMG! I have seen Jim's Hwy 82…read moreBBQ on best BBQ in Alabama for years and the hype is real! It is out in the middle of nowhere in Billingsley, where there is nothing but trees. Montgomery is 30 miles to the south and Centreville is 40 something miles to the north. But the road trip to Jim's is worth it. Part of the reason I call it heaven is because the place is decorated with so much Alabama Crimson Tide decor. It has just as much or rivals as much as the original Dreamland. The BBQ is either the best or among the best in Alabama. I got there 10 minutes before they closed and all my food tasted like it was just prepared. The ribs are moist and a rub I have never had from anywhere else. It tasted like there was some lemon pepper mixed in the rub, which I have not had on the ribs. The pork was so soft, tender, and moist too! Both went extremely well with the sauce, which is different than most Bama BBQ places. This sauce was more like a Texas style. It was ketchup based but instead of sweetness, it was peppery and tangy. There was no to little heat to it as well. It is homemade in the restaurant. The beans and potato salad are made in house. The beans have a sweet taste to them. The potato salad is a mustard base. The service was also outstanding! I called them to ask what time they closed since I was driving up from Dothan. They offered to go ahead and have my plate ready by my ETA. Also, I wanted more sweet tea, but they had already dumped the sweet tea. (Sweet tea was still refreshingly sweet by the way.) They gave me a bottled water to make up for it. I will need to make a road trip back up to Billingsley. The ribs and pork is among the best in Alabama and I will be planning a road trip soon back to Billingsley.

This place delivers…read morethat authentic, Southern, mom-and-pop barbecue experience that you hope for when you're in Alabama. They cover most of the BBQ classics -- pork, chicken, ribs, burgers, and all the traditional Southern sides -- though no brisket here. Honestly? You won't even miss it. We ordered the 1/2 lb of BBQ pork plate with fried okra and corn nuggets (the plate comes with two sides, which is perfect). The pork was everything great barbecue should be: moist, smoky, tender, and packed with flavor. You could taste the care in every bite. It's the kind of meal that makes you slow down and savor it. The fried okra was crispy and seasoned just right, and the corn nuggets were golden little bites of happiness -- slightly sweet, crunchy outside, soft inside. A perfect pairing with the pork. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They gladly offered suggestions for sides and made us feel like regulars even though it was our first visit. That kind of hospitality makes a big difference. Parking is right out front -- probably around eight spots -- and they do fill up quickly, especially at lunch. The restaurant was busy with mostly locals, which is always a great sign. The location is tucked away in a residential area, so definitely look up directions beforehand. There's a small street sign, but it's easy to miss if you're not paying attention. All in all, this spot has that genuine small-town BBQ charm with big-time flavor. If you're in Selma and craving real Southern barbecue, this is the place to go. Highly recommend!

Hats off to this place for making one of the toughest things in barbecue, moist chicken. You can't…read moreimagine the number of times I've ordered smoked chicken at a barbecue restaurant only to be very disappointed at how dry and tasteless it was! The smoke flavor has to penetrate the chicken in order to really give it a good flavor, but that doesn't mean it has to be dry and there are ways of making sure it isn't . The chicken I enjoyed on this visit wasn't dry and it had a good smoke flavor, not as deep as I would like, but it was definitely there and noticeable. So they get five stars in my book just because they can do chicken right. We also had some pulled pork and it was very tasty as well. Barbecue shouldn't need sauce to be edible, the sauce should be in accompaniment and nothing more. When you walk into the restaurant, you get a definite feel that this is not your glamour palace barbecue shop. It smells like smoke, and I'm not talking about cigarettes. It's clean and the interior has the feel of a Barbecue shack. The kind of feel that makes you feel comfortable that you're gonna get something good. When you first pull up to the restaurant, you can be deceived, but when you walk inside to get the real deal. The restaurant is clean. The staff is friendly And very helpful. Would I say this is the absolute best barbecue I've ever had, probably not. But it hits all the right marks in my book for excellent barbecue.

I'm from Texas so I'm already critical of BBQ but I was in the South and the country the BBQ should be good right? NOT! From the moment you walked in you could tell it was a local spot. No greeting, you just get asked what do you want. I placed an order for 1/2 chicken with Mac & Cheese and beans. They had folding chairs to sit down because the dining area was blocked off from sitting. I paid, and sat down. I wasn't given a number or asked my name. After about 15-20 min I got up to see if my order was ready. There was a line by this time. The girl that took my order said "you got the 1/2 chicken right?" Oh here it is. It had been sitting there. She bagged it up, I asked for sauce and utensils. I got to the room and was starving. I looked at the chicken. Didn't notice any char like I'm used too. But I said maybe it will still taste good. I tasted the Mac and cheese. Needed salt. The beans were OK tasted like they came out of a can. The chicken was dry and didn't look cooked all the way as I got closer to the bone. The sauce was basically watery ketchup. I ate the roll and beans. The rest went in the trash and I ordered a pizza. Maybe I ordered the wrong meat, I know this was a miss for me.
