Whitt's Barbecue

The pulled pork plate is the way to go. Love the potato salad too and baked beans. Best of all, great price for all you get. The vinegar sauce for the pulled pork is essential as is the slaw on top. Mouth watering and delicious!

While this is not your Texas style barbecue and doesn't have the strong flavor of some of your heavy smoked barbecue it is a unique sandwich that is different than most any other barbecue place you will go. The barbecue by itself to me is not that great but when you order one of their sandwiches with their homemade slaw and mayonnaise and pickles and a good old bag of plain chips it is very good. Oh and don't forget about the sweet tea with that "good" ice

Holly and the Whitts team catered my daughters wedding in Eclectic Alabama over the weekend. They brought bbq about 200 miles from their location and it was perfect. We could not ask for better folks to work with. We served pork and turkey and the wedding guest could not believe the flavor of both types of meat. We just smiled and said "we told you its the best". We definitely made believers out of everyone. When Lindsay wanted bbq at the reception we knew that it had to be Whitts. The side dishes were also amazing. Everyone left full and content. Thank to Whitts for always doing a great job and producing a great product. We would love to have you somewhere on the gulf coast. hint hint

My favorite smell in the world is that of Whitt's BBQ. When I visit Athens, my first stop is always at Whitt's. And I usually stop by again on my way out of town. And then I crave it until I go back. In the interest of full disclosure, I have a major sentimental attachment to this place, as my family ate Whitt's nearly every Sunday for lunch.Really, though, their BBQ is simply delicious. It's unlike any barbecue elsewhere. They put coleslaw on their pork sandwiches, which I personally love, as it adds a tangy-sweet slight crunch to the sandwich. Whitt's is special because of the intense smokey flavor that infuses their meat. No need for sauce - it's perfect the way it is, although the hot vinegar sauce is delicious. This is simple, plain, good ol' BBQ at its best. Pork sandwich with a bag of plain chips and a sweet tea... The best $5 you will spend in Athens, Alabama!

This is without a doubt the Best BBQ around. Every location has great service. I have never had or heard any complaints. It make for an awesome picnic to take to the river.

This is the best bbq turkey sandwich you can get. Get it like they make it, with mayo, lettuce, and pickles. Get some tea with it. That's a good lunch, y'all.

Fabulous smoked meat. Famous delicious pulled pork and chicken. Close to many residential and downtown areas of town it is ideal for a quick lunch or dinner solution. Staff are experienced and friendly. Ambiance not an issue or a distraction from great food.

Some of the best BBQ in the south! They do it the old-fashioned way and have the vinegar-based sauce to go with it. MUCH better than the store-bought tomato sauce you get at other places. Would highly recommend!(And for the Texas folks who don't know what good Southern BBQ is, I recommend they go BACK to Texas as stay there so they can enjoy that slop THEY call BBQ)

Exited the highway to fuel up on our road trip and saw a cute little bbq joint with a line of cars well after lunchtime but also well before dinner. We thought it would be worth a look to see why this place was so popular even between traditional mealtimes. Really glad we did. We ordered two pulled pork sandwiches with chips and drinks for under $10. It was super tasty and really hit the spot. Fast, friendly service. A really pleasant surprise!

We were looking for a nice easy lunch and we came across this place. Great food. Fast friendly service. Great prices. They had some nice picnic tables out front where you could sip some sweet tea and enjoy lunch.
