Butts To Go: Reviews & Ratings
The food is absolutely delicious. We’ve had barbecue plates, sandwiches, ribs, burgers, and most of the sides. The people who work there are friendly and the service is quick. It is a very small establishment with only a few tables inside, so we don’t eat at the restaurant. We always do pick-up orders. They have the food ready within 15-20 minutes - just enough time for me to drive there and get it.
Not much for atmosphere (it's inside a gas station) but the smoked pork is incredible. The staff treated me like family, the portions are huge and there's a small area of tables to enjoy their food. I had a slab of baby back ribs that was super tender with a rich smoke flavor. Their baked potato salad is perfect.
NOW LOCATED AT THE KITCHEN 11 PINE HARBOR RD Great LOCAL owned & operated with PIT COOKED Ribs, Steaks, Wings, Butt and more. Original spices and recipes. You can smell the smoke when you are there! Easy call in to order to go & pickup. Catering for 10-1000 people. Friendly owners who care about what they deliver.
The service was awesome. Everyone was friendly and helpful. It was our first time there and we will be returning. The food was hot and the smoked wings were delicious. The baked beans did not disappoint and the kids enjoyed the fries. My only complaint is the ranch dressing and that's just because I prefer a thicker dipping sauce. That won't stop my family and I from returning. Butts To Go was hidden gem we just uncovered.
First time there. Will definitely be back. Friendly, great Butt, and I love the fries.
I found my food soulmate today. I’m a retired Chef, known to “dabble” in bbq, and in general I just know really good food when I find it. Today at Butts To Go I had the best, excuse me, the BEST BBQ Pork Sandwich I have ever had. This thing checked every single box, cost, value, appearance, portion, flavor, aroma, visual appearance..... EVERYTHING!!! Friendly staff, clean restaurant, the smell punches you in the nose as soon as you enter the building. Not lying, as soon I entered I said, “This is gonna be good!” I had no idea how right I was. I have eaten Michelin starred foods, created many exquisite meals myself, and this was almost a “religious experience “ to me. Go, get the Jumbo Sandwich, you won’t be sorry. If you don’t like it, I will gladly eat what’s left of yours.
So while working in Alabama I decided to try a local place so I went try bbq. Let me start off by saying the people who worked there were very very friendly. So when looking at the menu the prices were super affordable I mean you would have spent the same or more for fast food. The food was delish the fries were fresh hot and good and the smoked wings are huge so a 10 piece can feed 2. So if you’re coming through Alabama and want a whole meal for 10 this is the place to go....
Yummy barbecue on a cute patio. Went the first day they reopened, with 15 teenage boys and they were very sweet and gracious. LOVED the potato salad! Lots of flavor!
