Lisa's Barbarque

Just as sweet tea is the champagne of the South, barbecue is its kobe steak. And you don't look for the building with valet parking or a fancy sign or cloth napkins. You search for the kind of places that make you question if they're even open or not. If they are, you're in for a treat. Such a place residues in the small city of Fayette, Alabama (pop. less than 5,000/less than an hour above University of Alabama). Here the paper towel rolls are on the table and the tablecloths are plain and stain resistant. Cups and plates are styrofoam, utensils are plastic. And the food, well you already know after reading thus far. Now I'll go ahead and mention that they do serve a few non-bbq related items; burgers, ham sandwiches, pork chops, and a variety of pies (by the slice). To these, I cannot speak. My order was that of a marathon runner just crossing the finish line. Large pork sandwich plate with okra, green beans, mac n cheese, and sweet tea to wash it all down. I was there with family, but their words and laughs soon faded as I took bite after delicious bite from my plate. I can't prove it, but I am sure there was a period of food coma blindness where my eyes were closed so I could give full attention to the savory meat with its molasses and brown sugar kissed sauce coming across my palette like a holiday gift to my tastebuds. Needless to say I refilled my cup a few times (including for the road) and that proved to be all the dessert I required. I am not in this area often, but I promise that any time I am Lisa's will be a required stop.

Excellent food, excellent service. Customers continually request food from this restaurant and I am always happy to oblige.

I have been a Lisa's fan since the days of walking up to a window outside to order and pick up! Not the same owner anymore but still quality food and service!

This restaurant is under new management and the last couple of times I have eaten here I've been disappointed. The BBQ has been dry and my beloved chicken fingers are greasy. I will stop on occasion for their "Messy Pig" but mostly I just pass this one up for better options in town.

In town on business and looking for good bbq. Lisa's was exactly what I had in mind. Great atmosphere. Nice menu. I ended up with the grilled shrimp plate. Excellent. Sides were phenomenal. Beans were really good with pork in them. Slaw good vinegar based flavor. Perfect local bbq restaurant.

Decent food , but miss managed! Called around 3:30 to inform them I was coming after smoked wings . Get there at 4:30 and they are sold out. What a let down .

My husband and I ordered 4 steak dinners last nitewhich cost us $120.00. . I ordered the steaks well done.....but when we got homewe started eating..and the steaks was not cooked well done...they were red on the inside and one of them was really red ..cause it was raw.and we paid good money for the steaks. I hope you can understand. thank you and GOD BLESS

Business has gone downhill extremely. Run mostly by kids who will get your orders wrong, and if you call your order ahead they won't start making it until you get there making you wait 40 minutes for a plate you ordered 15 minutes prior to arrival.

WORST FOOD EVER! This is the worst bbq I've ever had. I wouldn't go back if it was free. The sides are bad, most of the workers are rude, & the atmosphere is horrible. Don't eat here!

Down-home & unpretentious, Yummy good freshly-prepared and very friendly people!! GREAT!!!
