Fat Mans Bar B Que: A Taste of Authentic Alabama Barbecue

We haven't been here in a few years, but we were not disappointed. We used to come here a couple of times a month when we worked in the area, and when we had a boat nearby. The restaurant is still owned by the same family and has expanded over the years. It's a nice, sit down restaurant but you still order when you come in up front. I don't think you can go wrong with the barbecue or the corn nuggets. The baked beans were good as well. Five stars!

Fresh food, great service, sparkling clean. Update: Very busy, clean, delicious food and worth the short wait. Highly recommend Fatman's. UPDATE: it's just not possible to improve on what they have at Fat Man's. Smiling, Southern hospitality and that BBQ, amazing! Always a great visit with clean lobby, tables, floors and rest rooms.

This is the Burger Man with Best Burgers in America Association, and I was invited to come and score their burger for them at Fat Man's BBQ. It is a great All-American Classic Cheeseburger. Fresh hand-patted out patty, no pre-formed patty, and never frozen. The toppings are fresh as well. A great burger that is grilled and seasoned to perfection.

We had a wonderful dinner at Fat Man's BBQ. My wife had to take me home in a wheelbarrow, haha; it's true to the name, I guess. They have counter service and then you pick up your food when they call the number. They do not normally accept tips, so the price is the actual price here. That was something I haven't experienced in a while. The lady working the counter was very nice and helpful, even though I took a long time picking what I wanted from the menu (since I wanted everything). The wings were A+. The best fried buffalo wings I've had in Alabama. They are cut & fried naked and tossed in a tangy mild buffalo sauce. Reminded me of back home. Everything was delicious. The ribs pulled right off the bone. The pulled pork was so tender; you know it had to have smoked for hours and hours. The mac & cheese was so delicious, I couldn't stop eating it, which is how I ended up in this food coma. This place is a real treat. I hope you check it out!

Overall, it was a yummy place. However, my pork was fairly dry. I’ll try sliced next time. It was chopped, so it may have dried out. The fries and green beans are very yummy.

Love their barbeque and sauce! Also serve some of the best catfish I've eaten. Generous portions. A little pricey but very good. Only gripe is their business hours are not consistent so make sure you call before you go.

I absolutely love this place!! I come every time I’m in town without fail! This is some of the best barbecue I’ve ever tasted. I really wish there was one in Georgia, I’d be in this place every week lol!

Stopped in here on my travels for lunch and decided to give them a whirl. It's a walk up counter style of ordering, no table service. They did have quite a few things to choose from on their menu. I got the pulled Pork plate, pork had a good smokey flavor to them and they gave you a ample amount. Also, they gave me a bun in case I wanted to make a sandwich. I ordered baked beans and mac & cheese as sides. The Mac & cheese was cheesy, but not creamy cheesy, they were okay. The baked beans had pulled Pork meat in them, yet, they just tasted like they were missing something and just needed some help to tantalize your taste buds, not the worst, yet not the best i ever had. The sweet tea is sweet and has a moderate tea flavor. The atmosphere was very neat and clean, lots of parking out front, give it a try, maybe they'll adjust their beans and mac & cheese.
