Reviews
Stellar bbq place, specializes in to-go orders. Would absolutely come back, even if it's out of my way.
The good:
Great prices, great ribs, creme corn, absolutely amazing collard greens. Cornbread like momma used to make, none of that sweet corn cake stuff - actual cornBREAD!
The Meh:
Potato salad I could take it or leave it, not bad. Smoked chicken sandwich is above average but nothing special. BBQ sauce is tangy and seems ketchup based, pretty standard.
The bad:
They definitely specialize in to go orders, the "dine in" situation is a bit small and leaves a bit to be desired.
The first time I’ve tried this location was two years ago during early mid October or end of September when upon moving into the area. I must say we were impressed by the good quality and quantity of food this place serves. It reminds me of Whie Castle during the day when they would always have your food ready. The meat is tender and it’s mixed with pulled pork which looks to be a good combination. They also have coleslaw, baked beans, and potato salad which we normally order for our side orders at times. Once receiving our meal they give us wonder bread rolls to make our own sandwiches. Which I may say is quite interesting for us to give bread rolls like that to us. However I may want to point out is that if you were able to make a sandwich by putting coleslaw as the first topping then the meat and lastly putting the bbq sauce on top it’s okay. But once you have a side of baked beans. You can however feel your tastebuds a bit tired or bothered by doing so constantly, so it’s best to eat the coleslaw separately instead of putting it on the roll. Overall it is appetizing and this restaurant has been an privilege to buy food from
The best food in gadsden Alabama. Was skeptical at first but after I ate my first burger I NEED MORE , disappointed they aren't open on Saturdays though but this is the best food in this town.
Passed this restaurant and had to check it out. Nice little hole in the wall. Very casual atmosphere. They have 4 large picnic tables for seating in enclosed patio area. Order at the window and they bring your meal out when ready. Food was great! Had the pulled pork sandwich, onion rings and sweet tea. Price was great also. Would recommend.
First time here. The food was really good and the service was good.
These people have always been very friendly & the food has always been dependably good. Sometimes there's a little bit of a wait, depending on what you order & time of day, but it's always been worth it. Highly recommend. Best burgers in town.
The Cole slaw was good, the tea was good. The pulled pork was more like crock pot cooked, no hickory taste at all. I liket my smoked pork smoked authentic. PawPaws bbq on south 11th is the most authentic bbq taste in Gadsden. Sorry Merrill fell short this time. But I'll give them another shot in a few weeks.
Great food and friendly staff. We wish they were open on the weekends so we could go there more often. Thier loaded polish dogs are the bomb aswell as the loaded bake potatoes
