The ribs were good, I also had the potato salad, which was okay also. The chocolate dream dessert was the best item I had and would recommend saving room for it. The wait on the food was not bad at all, and the atmosphere was that of a place trying to hold on to the past, but it seemed a little dirty and claustrophobic to me. If you would like to experience an iconic eatery and can overlook this, then it's worth a try.

This bbq shack is a little off the beaten path, but the food and service was amazing. BBQ ribs were worth every penny, with a tangy sauce that had a little kick. Sweet tea was just as dreamy.

On a little road trip with my girlfriend and wanted some BBQ. I had went to the ones in Mobile Alabama but didn't know of this one here. Food was great, sauce could use a little bit of improving. The selection of items on menu are not there as the other one. But overall I was full of good food.

Dreamland BBQ is a Tuscaloosa institution, and for good reason. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, the sauce is tangy and smoky, and the sides are classic comfort food. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the service is friendly and efficient. Whether you're a local or a visitor, Dreamland BBQ is a must-visit for any fan of barbecue.

I've been to Dreamland BBQ many times, and I've never been disappointed. The ribs are always cooked perfectly, and the sauce is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I also love the sides, especially the mac and cheese and the baked beans.

Great food and service! I ordered a half slab of ribs, cole slaw, and banana pudding. Ribs were juicy and tender with a tasty vinegar based sauce. Usually coleslaw in these places is more of an afterthought, but this was really good coleslaw. The banana pudding was different from what I expected. It was more like a banana bread pudding. It was very good and a nice change from the usual wafer banana pudding. Portions were generous and the price reasonable. But I still don’t understand why barbecue places, whether they’re in Alabama or Texas, serve slices of white bread with the meal. I never eat it because I don’t like white bread. Is this a tradition that came from when people used the bread to keep their fingers clean? This curious traveling Yankee wants to know.

So, I joined 3 other men on an all day roundtrip from Atlanta to this Dreamland BBQ location. It’s been a tradition for our ring leader and the experience did not disappoint. BBQ style varies greatly across the southeast, so I went in with no expectation. It was simple and simply delicious. Do you want a half slab? Um, yes! What’s your side? Potato Salad, Mac & Cheese, etc rang out from across the table. Minutes later, it was like a scene from the Flintstones where giant plates of meat descend on the table. Carnivores we are! I heard no discussion - just gnashing of teeth and grunts of delight. Enjoy the experience. Bring your appetite!

If you are a bbq fan, you have to stop here for the original experience. The experience is exceptional, with no fancy frills that you get in a new joint. The servers are friendly and helpful. The ribs were juicy, meaty and tasty. Next time I’ll try the sandwich and try to save room for banana pudding.
