★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Chemere Cason · Dec 2025

First time here. Service was great. Food..no. 2 bones, SALTY, Mac was overcooked which is why the cheese curdles or it was reheated too much, big chunks of cream cheese in it, sausage wasn't smoked and was cold..they use jalapeño cheese sausage 😐. Hubs got the pulled pork sandwich with slaw; salty and sweet and the slaw was literally just wet cabbage. The sweet tea was amazing tho. For a first visit, on a not busy time, I can't say it's worth it. Food should be hot. Most importantly, food should be fresh.

Back again, driving back from Atlanta heading to Pike Road and had to get my BBQ fix at Butcher Paper BBQ! The best! A must try even if you have to drive a good distance.

Butcher Paper BBQ is hands-down some of the best barbecue you’ll ever eat! The brisket is tender, the ribs fall right off the bone, and the smoked mac and cheese is legendary. Beyond the food, Mark and his team always make you feel so welcome when you walk in—it’s that true Auburn-Opelika hospitality. I love seeing local businesses like this thrive and give back to the community, and Mark does exactly that. As someone who helps folks relocating to Auburn and Opelika find their place here, I always tell them that gems like Butcher Paper BBQ are part of what makes this area such a great place to call home. Thank you, Mark, for sharing your passion (and your amazing food!) with all of us. Highly recommend stopping by Butcher Paper BBQ in Opelika—you won’t leave hungry!

Unbelievable soft tender, fall apart brisket. I just found my new favorite bbq! The brisket bark to is super tasty, moist perfect rings of smokey and just incredible. Words are escaping me at the moment! Love their vinegar base sauce as well as the homemade dill pickles that are thin sliced with just the right amount of vinegar and spices. I will be back here very soon! Thank you so much for the incredible bbq!!

We had such a fantastic time at our recent adoption event and fundraiser with Butcher Paper BBQ! Our pups soaked up all the love and attention, and even a little rain couldn’t dampen their spirits. It was a wonderful day filled with wagging tails, community support, and meaningful impact for the animals in our care. The team at Butcher Paper BBQ was incredible to work with — communicative, organized, and so helpful leading up to the event. Their partnership made everything run smoothly and created such a welcoming environment for our dogs and guests. We are so grateful for local businesses who open their doors and hearts to support our mission. We would highly recommend working with them! Thank you, Butcher Paper BBQ, for helping make this adoption event and fundraiser a tail-wagging succe
