Excellent pork sandwhich. Rundown shack. Order for takeout or picnic outside. Return for the excellent pork sandwich.

Out of the way BBQ but the food and portion was great. You have to eat outside and it's not much to look at but give it a try.

Great barbecue, baked beans, mayo slaw, and mac and cheese. The mac and cheese especially tasted like homemade.

Had the pull pork sandwich and the spicy slaw hot dog was very satisfied they have some of the best slaw around and the pull pork is actually smoked not mass produced as a bbq business owner myself I tend to try other places while I'm traveling and I'm glad I came across this place there in the Alabama BBQ hall of fame and I can see why great place

I've tried bbq all over the South. Mary's is still the best. I've eaten here since I was four years old.

Mary's is east of Huntsville so it's a bit of an adventure getting there. It's a classic bbq shack with few seats inside and picnic tables under a couple of shade trees. It's fine looking at the signatures all over the walls and ceiling. The food was good but isn't necessarily a destination for me. Nice pulled pork and excellent green beans, but about half of the sides weren't available. We had a great time!

I discovered this through a small mention in a book called Extreme BBQ and realized we lived close to Mary's after moving to Scottsboro Al. We had a smile on our face when we saw the place. True, honest bbq. Prices were fair, service was fantastic. All the sides we got were great(mac & cheese, green beans, mayo slaw, vinegar slaw and baked beans is what we got). It's hard to choose between the slaws, because they are both awesome! But the star of the show were the ribs. They were perfect. I didn't need any dental floss and they weren't fall apart mush either. The sauces are all great. We'll make stopping here a tradition when going to Huntsville!

Excellent BBQ. My personal favorite and regular order is:? 2 Mayo Slaw Dogs? Lg. BBQ Pork SandwichAnd BBQ chips. Yummy! They have the standard sweet or hot BBQ sauces, as well as the white sauce. They have a couple of picnic tables under a tree for outdoor eating. Indoor eating is confined to about four or 5 floor mounted barstools. Dining-in and waiting on your order can get hot ? around the July months. I have broke a sweat waiting on the food, but it is always worth it to me. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Parking is a small gravel parking lot out front. Note: I realize BBQ taste is subjective. The ribs tend to be too salty for my taste, yet loved by many.The location is great for people living near the Maysville Four-way Stop and just down the road from Cooper Estates and Maysville Estates (two beautiful and safe neighborhoods), Give it a try! And if you mention 'Ray' sent you ...

Small hometown favorite. Delicious BBQ and sides. Been visiting Mary's since I was a kid. Great place to take out. The are only maybe 5 to 6 old school bar seats for sitting. Not a large place to comfortably dine in.
