Help!!

Guys,
those of you that have seen my post and PM's know I'm new to the Gulf Coast. I have to say I love living here!! The pace of life, the genuine people and not mention fishing. My family and I have loved the fresh fish from pier, baskets of blue crab from Bon Secour, oysters from Acme and The shrimp basket but I'm really missing the amazing barbecue joints in and around Birmingham. Dreamland in Ttown ( my alma mater), full moon, slick lizard, etc. WHERE CAN I FIND GREAT BBQ (ribs especially) down here if I don't smoke them at home? Need y'all's help.

Down South BBQ behind Fresh Market on Co Rd 10 headed to Bon Secour. Went there 2 weeks ago and got a slab for $25 wife said that was expensive but I ate all I could 1 night and brought them home and had enough for both of us that night back in Gardendale.

Thanks man!! I'll try it out! Love gardendale!! Coached lots of travel ball tourneys next door to you in Fultondale up on the hill. Played many rounds of golf at old castle pines too. Great city. Hope it's still growing and that interstate construction is nearing an end lol

Meant to mention how much I miss Sprouse's butcher shop on Tarrant rd too. Best cut of meat I've ever had. Visited often Tato!

+1 on Down South. I stop at that corner and get gas, live shrimp, a cooler full of ice and a BBQ sandwich at the shack on my way in to GS.

Ok that's "2" for same place. Thanks chillenfish! I think you're up near some of my family in Boaz, al

There is a Dreamland in Mobile (they even serve sides ;-)
On Old Shell Road just east of I-65...

LA BBQ in Summerdale caters a lot of events here at 5 Rivers. Its pretty good Q.

We also had Dickie's cater out here a couple of weeks back, the pulled pork was about the best I have had from a BBQ joint in Mobile/Baldwin area. And the chicken breast was amazing.

Talking about Sprouse Shop he decided to retire and I think he closed the doors last week.

Can't beat Down South BBQ. If you find yourself in P'cola try Brothers BBQ off of Gulf Beach hwy.

That's too bad. Loved his place. We'd stop by there and load up on ribeyes and seasoned potatoes every year before our annual bass fishing trip in Quincey, Florida

Thanks man. I work in P'cola so I will try to find it one day soon.

Thanks for all the advice here guys.. I'm definitely going to try them out. Probably venture to dream land in Mobile first. Glad to know one is down here.Once you've sat in the old shack in Tuscaloosa with nothing but ribs and white bread it never leaves you. Tight line to you all!!

IMO, the Dreamland in Mobile cannot be compared to the original, you might be disappointed. I've eaten there 3 times in the 10 years I have been in Mobile and am not impressed.
