In Mobile, there is no shortage of q joints. Just a shortage of really good q joints.
Smokey Bones - I don't really care for it, but it is always crowded.
J.R.'s BBQ - It is pretty good, but they don't pull the membrane off the ribs.
The Brick Pit - I heard it is good, but have never tried it.
Dreamland - another popular place, but I've only tried it a few times. It can get a little too vinegary. (Is that really a word)
Richee's - Great BBQ stuffed potatoes. Not real fond of anything else there, but they do have a really interesting sauce. I can eat a whole jar of it with a loaf of bread.
The Shed - It is about 20 miles into Mississippi. It was featured on Food Network. Again, never tried it, but supposed to really good, and really crowded. Their hours are kind of weird, so you may want to call first.
Sonny's BBQ - Southern chain. Usually pretty good, but can be hit or miss.
Dick Russell's BBQ - Really good lunch plates, o.k. bbq.
There are a lot more, but I don't eat q out that much. I just hate paying someone for something that I can cook better at home. Try some seafood while your here. If you need any good seafood suggestions, let me know.
