Southern Living Top Pick for Alabama

Big Bob Gibson's

1715 6th Ave SE (US Highway 31), Decatur, AL 35601

256-350-6969

Southern Living said “Loyal customers keep going back to Big Bob Gibson’s for the pork, the ribs, and especially for the chicken, all of which are cooked on old-school wood-fired brick pits. That chicken is dipped in the now-famous Alabama white sauce, a mayonnaise-based concoction invented by Big Bob himself a century or so ago. Don’t skip the scratch-made pies, either. They’re some of the best barbecue desserts in all of the South.”
