The South’s Most Legendary Barbecue Joints 2021
by Robert Moss

Sometimes it seems like the same famous barbecue restaurants always get all the attention. In most cases, they’ve earned that fame through hard work and top-notch food. But in a region with as much talent and diversity as the South has, there are plenty of other spots that fly a little under the radar.
Many can be found in far from any interstate and others in city neighborhoods that aren’t well-known to tourists. One thing these joints have in common is that they serve delicious slow-cooked barbecue, and on your next road trip.
Archibald’s BBQ
Tucked away in a quiet neighborhood in Northport is a small white building with an enormous soot-stained brick chimney attached to the front.
That’s the home of Archibald’s BBQ, an Alabama legend that serves sliced pork and hickory-cooked ribs atop slices of white bread, which soak up the peppery orange-hued sauce. Meaty and smoky with the perfect slightly firm bite, those ribs are as good as any you can find in the whole country.

Real stories from real folks who’ve traveled near and far just to taste Archibald’s. See why generations keep coming back for more.

  • This is legacy nex barbq at it’s best. They have been doing it for over 60 years. The food was phenomenal the service and did I say the food. Pull pork melts in your mouth. The ribs stick to the bone until you bite into it.I will definitely make the drive roughly 150 miles to have again
  • I was down here for work and looked up the best local restaurants and Archibald’s came up first. I had the large rib plate with slaw and potato salad. The food is inexpensive for what you get and well worth every penny spent. I highly recommend checking Archibald’s out 👍🏻👍🏻
  • You might think that other place is good, but you need to wake up from that “dream” and go to Archibald’s! They have the best ribs in T’town, and it’s a family-owned restaurant, so they take pride in serving great food & treating customers right. Go get the large rib dinner (6 bones) with baked beans (also the best in T’town) and fried okra – you can thank me later.
  • Here visiting from Texas and had to try the BBQ. I will say that it’s not Texas BBQ but it was pretty good! I prefer my ribs to fall off the bone, these were not quite there but good none the less! Pork sandwich was excellent, sides were good. For $26 I got my money’s worth for sure!
