How Did Love Food Arrive at Their Decision?

Love Food said their selections were “based on genuine user reviews, awards and accolades.” Also, the first-hand experience of their team.

“Famous for Its Good Old-Fashioned Hospitality and Lip-Smacking Ribs”

Representing Alabama as one of “the most famous restaurants in every state where you should dine at least once” is Dreamland BBQ.

“Legend has it that John 'Big Daddy' Bishop opened the first Dreamland Café in Tuscaloosa after praying for guidance: that night, God appeared in a dream and told him that he should build a café next to his home – and so John did,” said Love Food.

With 10 locations across the Southeast, its start was in Tuscaloosa in 1958. Click here for the mouth-watering menu.
