Good family-owned BBQ in Montgomery AL is hard to come by. Luckily, we did the work for you. Here are three Montgomery BBQ joints you need to try.

1. K&J Rib Shack

Nobody loves a good pulled pork sandwich drowned in BBQ sauce more than me—not to mention a refreshing sweet tea to follow. That’s exactly what you get at K&J Rib Shack.

K&J Rib Shack graced the city of Montgomery in 2004 and has been finger-licking good ever since. This restaurant is the definition of a Southern home-away-from-home home-cooked meal. From their delicious pulled pork, juicy ribs, and BBQ chicken, this place is sure to get a saucy thumbs-up at the dinner table. Be sure to try their Southern side dishes and finish it off with a peach cobbler cup.

2. Fatman’s BBQ

Breakfast, lunch and dinner. You name it and Fatman’s Smokehouse BBQ has it! This delicious BBQ joint is the ultimate cheap breakfast or lunch spot. Have breakfast your way by building your own breakfast bowl or sandwich.

Grabbing a lunch plate? Choose from pulled pork, chicken wings, ribs or rib tips. This spot also has sides every Southerner loves: baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, turnip greens, and Mac n’ cheese. Don’t forget to top off your meal with a bowl of banana pudding.

Like their slogan says, “You’ve tried the rest… now come home to the best.”

3. Brenda’s Bar-B-Que Pit
