Big Al’s Parkway Pub

Delicious!!! 🤤 Best stop we made all week! Visiting from FL and spending a week around grandfather mountain. Could not get a before picture because I DEVOURED my burger. The whole fam had different items. Smoked chicken wrap, brisket sandwich, turkey sandwich, potato salad, collard greens, etc. They have many sauce options. Even a Rhubarb pie!! 🥧 with ice cream. Everything was so good! The service was even better. Definitely come here! Highly recommend!!!

Had the Sunday special which was a quarter chicken with two sides and dessert. The chicken was pretty excellent. I loved the potato salad (mustard and pickle based) was top notch. I liked the collard greens though i thought they needed a little vinegar. I didn't care for the Mac and cheese. Pretty sure it was made with Velveeta and I don't really like that taste. The banana pudding was excellent. The tea had a flavor to it that I didn't care for, perhaps isn't fresh brewery, not sure. The restaurant as a whole was very smoky. It was all in our clothes for the rest of the day. The people were all super nice. Will be back for sure.

Review from the perspective of my 12 yr old daughter: Big Al's was a good restaurant. There were a lot of options on the menu and I got the BLT with a side of Coleslaw. The BLT was good, though the lettuce tickled my mouth and the Coleslaw had a bit too much mayonnaise. The wait for my food didn't take too long. They had miniature corn hole to keep me entertained. There was music and a TV show playing I had the BBQ Pork platter. Portion size was quite generous. They offer three selections of BBQ sauce, a vinegar, a sweet, and a hot. Platter comes with 2 sides, bread, drink and dessert of the day

This place is amazing! They sure know how to smoke— the Brisket and the Chicken were the best ever. The music is great— stumbled upon live bluegrass on a Sunday afternoon. The people are so nice and kind!! Great bar and an amazing selection of ice cream too!! But save room for the banana pudding. We can’t wait to return!

We had our first visit. We walked in tryingnto figure out if we sat our selfs or if we waited. We seen the order here sign and got the menu for our selfs. Still at this point we had spoken to no staff. A guy finally came over the the register I told him it was our first time there and ask we d what was best. He just stared at me didnt say anything. So at this point my kids were ready to eat so I started ordering. They were out of everything we tried to order. We finally got around to what they did have. We got the food and the smoked chicken sandwiches we got 3 were terrible. It was shredded chicken and it was so hard like it was the last few bits in the panamd had been out all day. It was around 530-6 when we got there. The vibe of the guy taking our order was so odd. If you go maybe
