At Big Bob Gibson Bar-B-Q in Decatur, you’re tasting a true Alabama original. Since 1925, this family-run spot has been serving slow-smoked pork, ribs, and chicken cooked over hickory coals. It’s also the birthplace of the famous Alabama white sauce...first whipped up by Bob Gibson himself in a backyard smoke pit nearly a century ago. You’ll see trophies from world barbecue championships lining the walls, smell the smoke as pitmasters work the fire, and end your meal with a slice of homemade pie. With two Decatur locations, it’s a must-stop for anyone chasing authentic Southern barbecue flavor.
