Stopped by for a quick lunch with some coworkers, and was ridiculously impressed by the level of attention to detail and customer service here. I had ultimately decided not to order anything due to being in a rush, but the gentleman behind the counter would not let me sit down at our table empty-handed. He gave me a free rib, some bread, and some delicious sauce to try. Needless to say - The food was DELICIOUS. Will be back next time I’m in T-Town!

The best bbq ribs and fried okra. Their smoked chicken wings are great as well, though I wish they weren’t so tiny. Definitely a 5 star bbq place

I love this place. A couple of weeks ago me and my grandson and I went for lunch. I ordered the rib sandwich with a side of potato salad and the hotdog and fries for my grandson. My potato salad was left off the order by accident. I called and they told me to come back and they will replace everything. Unfortunately, I was at my grandson soccer game by then. Went back the following weekend because I was craving the ribs again. Not only did they replace the salad, but they also gave me 2 and the rib sandwich at no charge. Even though I wanted to pay, they said no. I've been a lifelong customer to this restaurant, and I will continue being one.. Great food, great customer service, great restaurant.
A real BBQ Place! You walk in and order at the counter, and he turns around and cuts your meats on a wooden chopping block straight off the Pit!Great Food!

Fantastic BBQ! Great service and the banana pudding is on a whole other level. It's fire!!

Got a slab of ribs today. Whole slab was dry and harder than beef jerky. Completely unedible.

Great old school bbq place. Fair warning if you get a rib sandwich it is bone and all you have to take the meat off the bone but so good. The bbq pit is very impressive as well. If you have been to dreamland try this place next time.

I decided to check this place out, as I love to try new BBQ spots. Archibald's has amazing flavor and texture. The ribs are lean and flavorful. Not just fat with little meat. The staff is very kind and helpful. I went just before closing to pick up my order, but their dine-in area looked like a great place to watch the game, too. I definitely gotta go back for more soon.

It's been many years since the last time I ate their BBQ but this is not as good as the past. Meh at the best.
Best BBQ in Alabama. Family owned and operated and you get a very down home feeling here. I highly recommend them.

One of my biggest regrets when I moved to Texas…. Excellent food, service and atmosphere. It’s been so long that my memories were eating outside while sitting on a stump, gravel driveway and an ice cold peach soda!!!!

The BBQ ribs were absolutely amazing! They were cooked to perfection, sliced and boxed right before our eyes. Although the restaurant is a bit vintage and classic, it's a hole-in-the-wall gem that's worth visiting. The only slight downside was figuring out where to enter and sit, but the delicious food definitely made up for it.

You can tell (smell) it's going to be good before you even get to the door. And it was, indeed, Super Yummy! I got a mixed plate and a small wings. The ribs made me cry with how fantastic they are. The sauce is spot on, sweet and tangy with just a hint of spice. The pork is tender and moist and....mmmm! It's just... I may not be in the area often, but when I am, I WILL be back.For those of you who care, Pepsi products to drink. I had the sweet tea, though, and it pairs nicely with the meal.Vegetarian options: Vegetarians may cry - bring more carnivores. Only sides and dessert for the herbivores.Parking: Small lot was empty when I arrived, but lots of traffic in and out. When it's busy, it may be difficult to park here.
