Sam's Smokehouse

Service was great & the food was out of site. Don't miss this place a nice ride from T-Town on mostly two lanes and roads were in excellent shape.

When you are in Fayette Alabama Sam's Smokehouse is a must. All my family thinks they have the best wings. I am partial to the potato salad, only my wife's is better. She likes the baked beans and chicken bites. Someone rated them the third best ribs in the state, but I have not tasted better anywhere.

Awesome barbecue great place great workers fresh and tasty I had the beef brisket plate with coleslaw and potato salad, my wife had pull pork sandwich lg and Mac and cheese and coleslaw also got a second plate Ribs!!! Absolutely delicious their sauce is sweet and tangy. Here's what you do with rib plate and beef brisket, eat the ribs for dinner save the brisket for breakfast and add biscuits and have brisquit! If you are in Fayette or even near it stop by! By the way my daughter Posey loves them too! Pic of Posey included

The food was so good!!! The sandwich was bigger than I thought it would be. Everything was great! It was a little chilly in there but it's a bbq restaurant so it's gonna be a little chilly. Loved the farmhouse appearance. The lady that took our order was super nice and we got our food pretty fast! Definitely worth the price!

Visited Sam's Smokehouse for lunch while in Fayette for work. I'm a snob over barbeque and have a strong preference for Memphis style, so let that be your explanation for my less than stellar impression.Sam's is a no-frills kind of joint. You come in and place your order at the counter; they vary between calling out orders or numbers (I was never given a number, which was confusing) and you pick your food up at the counter. The tables, if you choose to dine in, are covered in advertisements for other businesses. I like dives, but I thought that was a little tacky. Clean enough, though. The service was terse and unfriendly. Granted, they were pretty busy and the ladies seemed a little overwhelmed...but it didn't make the best impression. I got the pork plate with fries and something called cheese tots. Like many Alabama bbq joints, two pieces of white bread came with my meal. Frankly, I don't get that tradition and left them alone, so I can't speak to taste or freshness of the bread.The pork was...bleh. The texture was okay, pretty finely chopped, and it was a very large serving for the money. Unfortunately, it didn't have a ton of smoke flavor, and was reduced to that sort of bland, faintly gamey flavor a lot of mediocre pulled pork gets. The sauce is mustard based. Not my favorite, but I didn't hate it - I generally prefer it over vinegar based sauces, and I liked it better than - gasp - Dreamland's mustard sauce. As far as mustard based sauces go, this one was alright. Sadly, it didn't do enough to save the pork for me. The cheese tots were...interesting. They're a play on tater tots, but they're shaped more like little hash brown rounds. Chunked potatoes with a squirt of cheddar cheese, fried up to eat. I still don't know how I feel about them. On the one hand, fried potatoes are ALWAYS good. On the other, the potatoes pieces were still almost a little watery, and the cheddar cheese had the taste of cheez-whiz, which is a big no for me. A lot came in the order, but I could only stomach 2 or 3. The fries were crinkle cut, not super hot, and probably out of a freezer bag. They weren't bad, though - honestly, I probably liked them the best out of what I had. My dining companion got the smoked wings with green beans. The beans DESPERATELY needed salt, but she loved the wings. I will say they looked tasty! The ranch they served it with was really good. I got to dip my fries in the extra cup she didn't use, which made me happy. I...may have also tried some pork in it. Don't judge me - the ranch covered the bleh flavor of the meat nicely! Lol.I know this spot is really important to the community, and I really respect and admire that. Unfortunately, it just wasn't for me.

I absolutely LOVE Sam's smokehouse. Every single time I take my pups to the Fayette Vet Clinic for checkups, I always smell an amazing aroma of smokehouse meats from the smoker in the back and it makes my mouth (and my pups mouths) water. The chicken wings are excellent! The vinegar based BBQ sauce is a very Carolina inspired sauce and goes great with everything. My fiancé and I personally love the deep fried cheese balls...one of the best things on their menu! You won't be disappointed with this place. Best BBQ in the county!

Great and amazing food . Can never get the opportunity to eat here because they are always out of smoked wings . Always call in wings around 5:30 ,they always tell me there is no more to get here earlier .

The food is fantastic. Must try wings And rib combo! Potato salad is my favorite can't go wrong here!! the service is always friendly.

Some of the best BBQ I have had. Went for lunch and had the pulled pork. Building may not look like much from the outside but full of yummy goodness inside.

I've been eating BBQ for over a half century. This place is easily in my top 3 of all time. The sauce seems to be a mustard/vinegar base, but is still sweet. Only place I eat when I'm in the area.
