Dreamland BBQ

I tried the other (original) store in Tuscaloosa long time ago. This store didn't exist then. I was expecting the same taste and quality for the signature BBQ rib. Unfortunately, it wasn't the same. The rib was a bit dry and hard. The other entrees (like potato salad, fried green tomatoes, etc) were however fine. I wish I had gone to the original one instead.

This restaurant is absolutely worth trying! They serve authentic American-style smoked meat, using real wood for smoking. You can already smell the rich, aromatic barbecue scent as you walk through the parking lot. Not only are the prices for each dish very reasonable, but the portions are also incredibly generous. The interior decor instantly transports you to a classic American diner. I tried both the Ribs and the BBQ Pork, and they were both excellent. If I had to point out one minor drawback, it would be the disposable cutlery and plates. But these are trivial compared to the truly outstanding food! Friends, you’ve got to give this place a try!

Pretty solid BBQ from the legendary Dreamland. They were super busy post game, but we got in and out without too much time. The combo platter is definitely the way to go, so you get the best of multiple meats. I can find better, but it is always still a good choice when we come to Tuscaloosa.

Dreamland BBQ is indeed a DREAM. Our server (Brittany) was so SWEET, like the sweet tea they got. That’s always the right vibe to start a dining experience. This bbq spot had the best chicken quesadilla I’ve ever had. It may ruin chicken quesadillas for you and you’ll be questioning what you’ve eaten all these years. My friends got the ribs and also said it was the best they’ve had. And DONT LET ME START ABOUT THE BANANA PUDDING. Indeed best in town or maybe state who knows

We’ve been in Tuscaloosa several years but I’m not a huge BBQ fan (I’ve lived in too many BBQ towns, KC, Memphis, etc and had it all) but BBQ is the hubby’s absolute fave, so we visited Dreamland this weekend because it’d been awhile. Honestly, as someone who was not looking forward to eating BBQ anywhere, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed it! I had the BBQ baker - if you’ve had a similar dish at Jim n Nicks, it’s not nearly as good as the one I had at Dreamland. Also, dipping white bread in BBQ sauce that was warm and fresh was unexplainably good. Hubby was super happy with the ribs and our teenager enjoyed the sausage plate and said the okra was almost as good as his Mimi’s ;) (that’s a high bar folks, she’s a pro). Service was quick and friendly. I won’t be nearly as hesi
