Best hidden bbq spot in south Alabama. Try for yourself. Everything is gas
Stumbled across this gem while out looking for property. Pulled into a dusty, dirty parking lot to review our map of where to go next. Lo and behold, we look up and we’re sitting in front of down south barbecue! Excellent, delicious, friendly! My husband and I shared the jalapeño griddle cake sandwich full of pulled pork and slaw. Ginormous! Of course you can’t leave a barbecue place without banana pudding. Looking forward to returning again. Hard-working folks that are happy to serve you with delicious food. Thank you down south for the delicious food, hospitality and friendly service. Kary & Tom
I eat there couple times a week. Pulled pork plate homemade Cole slaw and baked beans. Best bbq in Foley Alabama
Just picked up a couple of pork sandwiches last night for dinner. Fast, friendly service and delicious bbq. We will be back for sure.
You can smell their butts from a mile away! I have to say that Down South Barbeque deserves 10/5 ⭐'s for the care, quality and love they put into their BBQ! This is among the best BBQ I've ever had from Texas to Alabama! If you are deciding and still unsure, the photos reveal the outter char and smoked quality of the BBQ. When you arrive, you'll see the working barrel smoker in an enclosure and stacks of wood. But, the experience of actually having fall off the bone ribs, smoked brisket and the "OMG died and went to heaven" collard greens that Tat makes is something everyone should experience! Their coleslaw, BBQ beans, and Mac and cheese leave no room for anything but praise. For dining on location, they have a screened in dining area on the side with picnic style tables and paper towels. The staff are also kind, enthusiastic, and proud of their hard work, as they should be. Down South Barbecue and these amazing people will be a requirement for our future trips to Foley. Come get some and take your Butts to the Beach ⛱️
What a great place! We had delicious ribs, mustard potato salad, horseradish potato salad, and some yummy peach cobbler. We ate outside and got the chance to speak a bit with the fella who made the ribs so great. You could tell he really likes what he does which is why they taste so good! Definitely recommend this place!
We have been here several times over the years when we go to Gulf Shores for a couple of months. It's not a fancy place but the food is very good.
Exceptional service and delicious BBQ (and sides). I love that is is locally owned and operate.
Food is alot more expensive than it used to be,it's call inflation of course everything has went up.
The food is some of the best BBQ I've had since moving to Alabama 3 weeks ago! The employees and owner are wonderful and very friendly. Fast service too!!!
The best pulled pork sandwiches ever. Very nice staff. Prices are very good. Be sure to make many return stops ..
You can't get no Southern No More Southern than Down South BBQ the working crew are friendly the price is not bad at all. My wife and I had the chopped brisket barbecue sandwich it was the best I have had my wife had the plain baked potato and I had the yellow mustard potato salad both were awesome if you come to South Alabama and you do not stop at Deep South BBQ on County Road 10 just off of 59 you're missing one of the jewels of Baldwin County
Yes! Drive by the chains and get some real bbq! Brisket and rib sandwiches were incredible! Thank ya'll for what you do! We will be back!
They cook one of the best briskets I’ve ever eaten. Also try the horseradish potato salad it’s great!! And I don’t even care to much for horseradish. If you’re a BBQ fanatic you gotta check them out!!
Just plain good ol' Southern BBQ done right! Food is always excellent, portions are more than ample, and the meat just melts in your mouth. The friendly folks there are always helpful and kind. Go early before they run out!!!
Incredibly delicious BBQ plus amazing customer service! We 100% recommend this place, and Jason has the best service in town. Tangy BBQ sauce is the best, the corn bread, potato salad, coleslaw, Mac n cheese, ribs, brisket, chicken, and pulled pork was all delicious… definitely make this a destination if you’re in Gulf Shores!
Best BBQ in Gulf Shores area. Carry-out only, and bring cash… no checks or cards accepted.
Only going to say this once...EAT HERE!! If you follow my suggestion that's all it will take to hook you. The pics are of the Cornbread BBQ sandwich with jalapeno added. It's quite filling and I usually need a nap afterwards so be forewarned. It's VERY delicious.
Amazing food, kind, friendly service. This our kind of place. We’ll done, Down South BBQ!
