Amos & Amos BBQ

Great BBQ - 4 stars.Amos & Amos is a quirky place. And I have to admit, I love the weirdness. According to the owner, they've been around for 9 years. But the building itself is an old A&W drive-in fast food joint, built in 1953. Very cool!Most people seem to drive around the back of the building and pull into one of the parking spots that were "order from your car" spaces back in the day. Or you can just park on the street. Then you walk up to the window and place your order. Easy, right?This is where it starts to get weird. The sliding order window has 2 basement window well covers bolted over the sliding doors, like a big clam shell. The owners cut a flap in the bottom that only opens from the inside. Apparently, this is some sort of home-made do-it-yourself security thing. It seems to do the job...but you can't talk to them and they can't hear you until they slide open the door and then shout through the clam shell. And they don't seem to be in a hurry to do anything. I stood around like an idiot for a while, watching the lady, until she FINALLY slid the door open and talked to me. Kinda hard to hear through the big plastic clam shell.Speaking of shouting...you wait in your car or stand outside for 15 or 20 minutes and they yell when your food is ready. You can't hear what they're saying when they shout...but it all seems to workout okay. Like I said - quirky.LOW CARB: Okay, on to the most important thing: the food. I got the rib tip combo meal with a big hot link. Both were excellent. The rib tips were amazingly tender and lathered in generous amounts of a sweet sauce. Great taste. My hot link was huge and flavorful. For some reason, it reminded me of a big blood sausage. Good stuff. Unfortunately, you can't get any meat without sides. And all of the sides are plants. So in addition to my meats, I received and payed for unwanted carbohydrates of coleslaw, white bread toast, and a huge mountain starchy of fries. Those all came home with me to feed the Blue Jays and the Squirrels. That was kind of a waste of food but I had no choice about the high starch carbohydrate sides.I like this place. The meats are great. But it's a little frustrating if you eat low carb. It would be awesome if these guys sold meat by the pound, like many of the other BBQ joints. Oh, well. It was worth the stop.-Maxx

I've been here a couple of times and the food is good bbq. I love their rib tips. The big detractors are that 1) there's no online ordering, which is just absurd at this day and age. 2) Their listed phone number is disconnected, so forget about ordering in advance which leads to 3) their food prep is slow af. What prompted me to post my review at this moment is taking the time to come here during business hours and they're not open. Oops.

I got the rib tips, brisket sandwich, and the three chicken wings. Rib tips were the best I have had. These tips were meaty and had a good amount of sauce. I did not feel like I had to work at the tips to get the meat off which was awesome! Brisket sandwich was delicious. A lot of meat on the sandwich and wonderful flavor with the right amount of sauce. Chicken wings were good; very moist and decent size. I was not as into the seasoning salt on them and have had better flavored batter, but they were still good. Fries were crispy after getting home in the take away container. Wow! That never happens, but Amos & Amos fried them well. The BBQ sauces were delicious too. All homemade and I will be back to try the hot links since they were not available yet this early in the week.

Food was ok not great but ok, ribs seemed to be heated up and bbq sauce was put on them, Cole slaw was ok but extremely small in size maybe three spoon full. fries and toast were fine the guy who took order was friendly/nice. i don't think i would go back.

I have been here several times and will be back again. I really like how this place is open year round, and always seems to be busy. The burger I had really tasted like it came off the grill, with that charbroiled taste to it. Also, their fries really do have that fresh taste to it. My order took about 15 minutes, but well worth the taste and price. It is definitely worth another visit, since the cashier and cook are really nice

Wow, I drove 45 minutes to get ribs and was highly disappointed. I was told it would be ready in 30 minutes and ended up waiting 51 minutes. The food was just okay. The ribs were not as tender as they could have been and I order the "Southern Sweet Potato Pie" and it was anything but. The crust was burnt and it was tasteless. They have all of these daily deal signs on the walls and building but refuse to honor any of them. When you try to patronize a small business this is what you get. Will not visit them again.

SUMMARYGood food for a good price, but call before you get there so you don't have to wait in the limited parking area.FOODI got the pulled pork sandwich and my wife got the rib tips. The sauce they used was very tasty, and the pulled pork was very saucy. Do keep some napkins on hand since this will get messy; it's barbeque after all. One thing we did notice is that you may end up getting a lot of fat with your meat. While tasty, my sandwich felt like I was eating more fat than I would like. Even then, I still preferred the pull pork over Famous Dave's. Next time I'll have to try the ribs. If it tastes anything like the pulled pork then it will be good.SERVICEThis isn't fast food. The few times I've been there it took about 15-20 minutes for the order to be ready, and this is with no one else there. This isn't a bad thing though, it's just better to order before hand if you are in a hurry. They are very friendly and even walked my food out to my car when I was waiting. AMBIANCE & PARKINGThey take your order at the window, and there is no indoor dining. There is a covered outdoor area where you can park, but it can only hold about 8 cars max. Also, the owner's car occupies one of these spots. It goes without saying that this isn't a place to sit and eat (not even outdoors). When you get there, it's best to drive around the building so that you can just drive out when leaving. They have a convenient sign to point you in the right direction, but you don't see the sign when approaching from the west.

It's been down the street from me for a while and I've been dying to try it. It was exactly what I expected, phenomenal. Highly recommend!

Facility is filthy. No inside service. Waited a half hour for food. Food needs to be investigated by the department of health. Very obvious that this owner does not invest in his business. Ordered a large rib tip. The sides included french fries for one. 4 half slices of white bread and a tablespoon of colesaw. All for $39. What a rip off. Will not go back to this nasty place.

Scrupulous convenient Good Food this has been here for for many years..Really nice customer service.Go and try! I would recommend for to and visit..try the rib tips.
