Bama Bob's BBQ - Mobile

Bama Bob's BBQ in Mobile, Alabama, is a great local BBQ restaurant that locals love. Don't let the small size fool you...They are putting out some serious BBQ.

Bama Bob's BBQ

Bama Bob's has earned multiple local awards, including Best New Restaurant and Best Takeout, and has built a loyal following of locals and visitors who drive south on Dauphin Island Parkway specifically for the slow-smoked meats.

Pork shoulders are smoked overnight, sometimes up to 12 hours, to reach the balance between bark, smoke, and tenderness that authentic Southern pit barbecue demands.

 Make sure to order the banana pudding! I would drive over any day just for a serving of banana pudding and a few more to bring home with me. Sooo good.

Indoor Seating

 There are tables inside the small restaurant with chairs along with a few with built in bench seating.
