I left Montgomery 16 years ago, but they used to have a place called "Dem Bones" that served tasty ribs. If you're interested in driving about an hour for some famous ribs, try Dreamland in either Birmingham (90 miles north) or Tuscaloosa (Dreamland's home some 70 miles northwest). ABC Sports' announcer Keith Jackson insists on going to Dreamland every time he goes to Tuscaloosa to call a game. I just recently ate at their Mobile, Alabama location and the flavor is awesome. The paper mill mentioned in the other post is located in Prattville, about 30 miles to the northwest. Since the prevailing winds are from that direction Montgomery gets to enjoy the aroma. It's just an occasional problem, and not present every day. Dave wrote: > I'm on a golf trip around Montgomery in a few weeks - any > recommendations on good/memorable BBQ resturants in the area?

My wife, who knows what she's talking about, has been to Dreamland in both Tuscaloosa and B'ham. She says that the B'ham location is nowhere near as good as the original in Tuscaloosa. I'll be going to Tuscaloosa in March, to visit the U of A and to eat at Dreamland.

Yes it's now a chain, but a small one. Last I heard they had outlets in Birmingham, Mobile, and Tuscaloosa. I live in Mobile and when they opened they received complaints about no extra dishes. Now they offer cole slaw, potatoes in some form or another, maybe some other veggie, maybe even a dessert. Oh yeah, and plenty to drink (theyt've always done that). I've never eaten at the original in Tuscaloosa so I can't tell you if the quality's gone anywhere, but I LOVE the flavors of the ribs, chicken, and sauces at the Mobile, Alabama location. Someday I'd like to try the home base in Tuscaloosa. I hear it's at the end of a dirt road, in a building that looks like it's about to fall down, in a neighborhood you'd be afraid to drive in. Can someone say, "Atmosphere"? I'm not making this up; my dad took some friends there and one of them was afraid to get out of the car. It can't be too bad, though, a lot of bigwigs make the pilgrimage constantly.

Do they offer more dishes, like "wings"?
