Alabama’s barbecue history goes all the way back to 1891, when the original Golden Rule Bar-B-Q opened east of Birmingham in Irondale.
Later, other iconic barbecue restaurants opened around the state — including Big Bob Gibson Bar B-Q, which began in Decatur in 1925, and Brenda’s Bar-B-Q Pit, which started in Montgomery in 1942 — and have stood the test of time.
But while those have lasted generations, many old Alabama joints that we thought would be here forever are no longer around. Here are seven we miss the most. |
