We had a wonderful dinner at Fat Man’s BBQ. My wife had to take me home in a wheelbarrow, haha; it’s true to the name, I guess.

Stopped in here on my travels for lunch and decided to give them a whirl. It’s a walk up counter style of ordering, no table service. They did have quite a few things to choose from on their menu. I got the pulled Pork plate, pork had a good smokey flavor to them and they gave you a ample amount. Also, they gave me a bun in case I wanted to make a sandwich. I ordered baked beans and mac & cheese as sides. The Mac & cheese was cheesy, but not creamy cheesy, they were okay. The baked beans had pulled Pork meat in them, yet, they just tasted like they were missing something and just needed some help to tantalize your taste buds, not the worst, yet not the best i ever had. The sweet tea is sweet and has a moderate tea flavor. The atmosphere was very neat and clean, lots of parking out front, give it a try, maybe they’ll adjust their beans and mac & cheese.

The pulled pork sandwich was one of the best I’ve ever had. It came with some sauce that complemented the smokey taste of the meat.

Very very busy. Call way ahead if at a busy time or you will be waiting a while. I have to say it’s worth the wait. The food is amazing and their BBQ sauce is one of my favorite

Best BBQ and Burgers in Alabama! I’ve been coming here since I was a teenager and it was just a little food shack with gravel floors and picnic tables! It’s great to see how far it’s come! And I still get to share this great place full of memories with my high school sweetheart! 15 years later! If you’re looking for the best bbq look no further. I’ve had a lot of different bbq from a lot of different places and no one beats the best! Fat Man’s BBQ! I love guys and gals! I hope you have much longer success and NEVER close! It would be a heartbreaking loss to Pell City and the state of ALABAMA! Thank you for all the memories and the best food around❣️
