Oh my goodness, there are so many great things I can say about this hidden gem! ???? The service was amazing, the wait time was short, and the food was the BEST I've ever had. If I could, I'd give them a 10 star ???? rating! The owner was so friendly and even came out to see how we liked the food and explained their cooking process. The decor was very interesting to look over whilst waiting for our food to arrive as well. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and we will definitely be back!

We rode our bikes out and found this little piece of heaven and we will definitely be back! Great food and even better service! ❤️❤️????????????The sweetest and most beautiful host behind the bar was so welcoming and very friendly..

This place is nice atmosphere, owner is very interactive with customers, food was amazing, the smoked meatballs were more like golf ball size, well worth the drive.

We stopped by here for lunch one day. Folks, I’ve been bbq’ing for 40 years and Pitmaster Jamie has got it down! I saw pictures of his smokers several months ago and knew I had to make the trip at some point in time.

The Alabama Rib Shack is a bit out of the way but definitely worth the trip! Super friendly service and some of the best Q ever. Folks, they also cater.

I had a combo plate with St. Louis ribs and jerk chicken wow! We also had the pulled pork, tender and tasty. Our sides were collards and mac and cheese. Both well seasoned and delicious.

We will definitely be returning.

I’ve had a lot of barbecue all over the south from Texas to the Carolina’s and this place ranks at the Top with best!

The ribs are smoked to perfection and are some of the best I’ve ever eat,

along with several other meats.

I’ve never had a bbq pig tail but I’m a fan now!

You can tell Jamie puts his soul into the food he prepares and serves. His hospitality is like being at your grandma’s for a special holiday. Anyone traveling down I-20 between Meridian and Tuscaloosa need to stop and try this food. If you don’t, your missing a Gem!

Loved the atmosphere and the food was fantastic! Probably the best collard greens I’ve ever had. All of the food is locally sourced. Can’t wait to come back and spend some time on the patio. Pitmaster Jamie Lee was great! Stop by if you’re in the area! Worth the detour off the interstate!

Absolutely one the best BBQ restaurants I've been to in Alabama!! The restaurant is located in Gainesville, AL, one of rich history and this BBQ restaurant fits right in! All the food we had was absolutely delicious! I had the St Louis rib and 1/4 chicken plate with the best collard greens and cole slaw as a side. My wife had a BBQ pulled pork plate with Cole slaw, potato salad and baked beans. If they have strawberry shortcake, definitely get it! My wife got it and i tried it and it was phenomenal, the cake is lemon ppmd cake which makes it even more stunning!! The staff are super friendly and always making sure you're enjoying your meal. The restaurant atmosphere makes you feel like you're at home and has a very homey/hunting cabin feel to it. The owner Jamie Mitchell was super friendly and came out to make sure we were enjoying everything. If you're looking for an excellent BBQ restaurant with great service and great atmosphere, look no further than Alabama Rib Shack in Gainesville, AL! We will definitely be back soon!

This has to be the best BBQ place in Sumter county, al. The atmosphere was very welcoming and the service was very outstanding. Pictures and videos were offered and the drinks were great!!! Instead of traveling far distance, this place was very convenient. Prices are very reasonable..
