The Smoke Ring BBQ

Not too shabby. We tried the brisket platter & rib platter with baked beans and slaw. They gave us some extra lamb chop to try to. The lamb chops were good. The brisket wasn't bad, and the ribs were great. They had 1 sauce, probably sweet baby rays or something like that. I think it all needed more smoke and more seasoning. It had plenty of salt but no kick. Usually BBQ joints focus on the meat and skimp on the sides but not here. The baked beans were better or as good as any I've had in place in any state including the finest establishments in Texas or Kansas. The slaw wasn't bad could have used less sugar more vinegar. For around Dothan, Ozark or Enterprise this is outstanding BBQ. The portions were just what you'd expect in a BBQ restaurant and the prices were fine. If your not willing to pay $20 for a single serving of good BBQ with a drink, McDonald's is up the road. These folks are working hard, it's takes 16hr days to run a BBQ restaurant I hope they make it so tip them well. I look forward to going back.

Franklins who? One bite of This bbq will make you think You've made it to the pearly gates of heaven. Get there early, the line may stay long but it's hella worth the wait!

I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about this place. Most of the bad reviews were about them not being open or the prices. First off, this ain't a McDonald's. If you want a McRib you can drive a couple miles down the road and wait for them to put it back on the menu. As for them not being open, I believe they close down when they sell all the food. So if there selling out that much, that should say something about it. That being said, we drove by after church and the open sign was lit up. We stopped in and got a pulled pork plate. There was so much meat in the sandwich that we were able to make 2 more sandwiches for later. And there was enough pork n beans my wife & i could split it. So I figured we got at least 2 and 1/2 meals out of it. My wife and I split it for lunch and had 2 sandwiches for later. As for the taste, it was very good. It's definitely worth the price in every aspect. Now, while we were waiting on them to finish the order, the cook gave us some smoked turkey to try. I'm not talking about a little bite either. They were about the size of the palm of my hand. That was FREALING DELICIOUS!!! Definitely getting a plate of that next time I go. We got ours to go but while we were there the couple were very nice and friendly. I can not express enough how much you need to stop and try this place out.

First time experience and the food was delicious! The family and I ordered the loaded Mac and cheese with brisket and loaded Mac and cheese with pulled pork. Both very good. The meat was tender and juicy and the Mac and cheese definitely tasted homemade. I can tell there was love put into this cooking. 😋 Will definitely be back again!

Easily top 5 bbq in Alabama. Contender for best overall BBQ in the south. It’s worth the drive/wait.

The food was amazing. I had a hamburger, with pulled pork, Mac and cheese, and baked beans…..ON POINT!

In 2 words - Unbelievably Tasty!
This was our first time visiting and we will be back. Inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, and barbeque done right with great side items make a winning combination!

Best Fries I've ever had. I'm old and I remember Country's Barbeque fries. These are better! Smash burger did not disappoint, should have gotten the double patty. Out of BBQ early. But so glad I got the burger. Excellent! I'll go back just for the fries. Friendly folks!

Best bbq around!!! The employees and owner is always so nice. I love their food ❤

Me and my family love coming here to eat after church! The brisket platter is definitely one of our favorites! The owner, Jeff is super generous with the portions. Definitely worth every penny!!

So to start with, Jeff and Theo are fabulous people. Very friendly, accommodating and treat you like family. The food is UH-mazing! I have never been a huge barbecue fan but I visit them on almost a weekly basis now. Smoke Ring catered our organization’s Family Day event in March and our members are STILL talking about how delicious everything was. Jeff has mad grill skilz and Theo’s Mac n cheese is just like my mom used to make, creamy, cheesy and delicious! I haven’t tried anything that wasn’t fall off the bone tender and outstanding. This is a MUST try place that will lead to an addiction. Honestly the Best I have ever had!!

Stopped in for lunch today and the food was absolutely amazing! The staff was very nice and the environment was welcoming. Overall the best BBQ we have had since moving to Alabama.

Ribs super tender, chicken juicy seasoned delicious. French fries were fresh cut which was surprising and the beans were not from a can lol very very happy to eat super solid food in a small town.

Fresh Food, awesome service. Love love love the RIBS.

Competition BBQ. This guy knows what BBQ is and he’s doing it. The portions are large. The sides are delicious and friendly service. The location is tricky to get in and out of is my only negative remark. You’ve got to go to Smoke Ring BBQ for real bbq. The rest of the BBQ restaurants are just oven roasted meats hiding behind bbq sauce. And that’s not bbq. Smoke Ring BBQ is the real deal!!

Great place to eat before they run out, get there early!

Smoke Ring has the best barbq pork and lamb around. The hamburgers are to die for here. Jeff, the owner, takes care of his customers.

Best BBQ I’ve ever put in my mouth! Plenty to eat and great price. Worth the drive from anywhere!

The El Chapo was delicious and plentiful. I then washed it down with some famous WooHoo juice. The owner was handling my order and he was informative and entertaining.

The food is amazing. My favorite is the ribs and chicken. Get it when they open otherwise, you'll miss out. They be selling out fast
