Ken’s Hickory Pit Barbeque

Filed under: BBQ Joints

Once my Dad walked into a (supposed) BBQ place in Florida and asked for “6 pork sandwiches; three inside, and three outside”. The girl at the counter asked “You want three to eat here, and three to take away!?”

The folks at Ken’s in lovely Pinson, Alabama (reviewed here) would never make such a vile error. They truly know the ways of pulled pork. Freaking awesome place.

Full Moon Bar-B-Que

This place is now known as Pat James Full Moon Bar-B-Que. But as I recall the original, Southside branch, it was a concrete block building with a huge smiling moon face on the exterior wall. We’d skip school to go there. Great ‘Q. And it had the first PacMan machine to appear in B’ham (we thought the graphics were so awesome!).

It was one of the tabletop models, so you could sit your coke and paper plate on it while you played. That was, until the owner’d yell from back behind the counter for us kids to settle down and not get slop on his machine.
