The food is 5/5, but the building itself is 1/5. It looks like an old truck stop from the outside and like an old run down mobile home on the inside. The ceiling is falling apart, the laminate is peeling from the walls and it looks like they’ve got used wet toilet paper stuck under the tables to level them out. My 1st time here was pretty sketchy, I wasn’t too sure I even wanted to go inside once I pulled up. Then, when I got inside and couldn’t see the health inspection paperwork and witnessed how run down the dining area looked I really, really wanted to leave, but had some folks behind me blocking the doorway, so I was committed.
I’m really glad I didn’t leave though, as this is the best BBQ I’ve had so far in the wiregrass. The food comes in large portions and is delicious. It’s kinda pricey but you really get what you pay for, which is not something that can be said about most other BBQ places in the area. They’ve got homemade sauces that are top notch, but their “spicy” blend is pretty tame, so if you are looking for something to set your mouth on fire, look elsewhere.
They don’t really have a wait staff, their cashier pulls double duty and acts as a server too. Despite how busy the place was when I got there, I never had an empty drink and my food was done rather quickly. I was actually pretty impressed with their service as the cashier was quite busy, but she really made sure everyone was taken care of. I’ve been to several place on the circle that have horrible service, but this was not one of them.
I really wish they’d fix up their interior a bit to make it less un-appetizing, and maybe repave their parking lot… but if you can get over the aesthetics then you are guaranteed to have some good food.

Food and Service was Great. Was kind of worried when we pulled up to go inside. Its like a (hole in the wall) just saying but it was Great

The best BBQ is always in places that look like dives. 231 is in an old gas station/store which isn’t a four-star environment. The food however Is every bit four star!!! Best BBQ I have ever eaten hands-down and by far the best within 75 miles of Dothan (actually they are in Midland City) Alabama. Sandwiches are large enough to feed two big eaters and cost what a small sandwich does at most BBQ joints. For the portion size they have some great prices!! The slaw and French fries are the best around and their sweet potato fries are second to none. For those who don’t care for pork they have a smoked chicken salad that is wonderful!!! This is a well known local establishment and never disappoints. Go hungry…you’ll leave stuffed!!

We always get our food to go because the dining area is quite small but that is easily overlooked because the food is excellent. Nothing fancy here folks. Excellent quality homestyle BBQ that is always consistent and always delicious. The prices are equally satisfying.

Great prices and portion sizes but that doesn’t count when you can’t eat it!! Possibly the worst BBQ I’ve ever had. I had heard great things and was really hopeful, even after I watched them microwave my order of ribs.

Absolutely love it! Portions are huge. I always get two meals out of one order. Sometimes my husband and I order one rib plate, half it, and still have leftovers! Food taste wonderful and the wait time is minimal.

Best BBQ in the wiregrass. The dining area is very small and not the best for elderly or handicapped people.
But where this place shines is food and service. They are nice, fast and the good is fantastic.

Eaten there twice and the ribs were as good as I have eaten anywhere!!!!!! The camp stew was excellent. Rawls does an outstanding job. Definitely will stop on the way from Dothan again.

I called and placed an order for take-out. The staff was very rude, and it was by far the worst Chesseburger that I have ever eaten! No flavor, cold, dry, & bottom piece of the bun fell apart (cheap-so wet that I took it off of the sandwich). I am not sure about the Bar-B-Que, but stir clear of the burgers. I figured ordering one was a safe option figuring it was grilled or either smoked…NOT!!!
