Known for the famous White sauce, that goes so well on the barbecue chicken. The smoked hot dog is pretty tasty and the home cooked fries are so so good.

Another Great Location
I stopped at this Big Bob Gibsons for dinner while in the Decatur area. This is not my first Big Bob Gibson’s rodeo as I’ve eaten at the thier 6th Avenue location. The Danville location is more of a satellite location, still serving up the same quality and consistency as the 6th Avenue location, but if you looking for Big Bob’s merch then this isn’t the place. The 6th Avenue location has the books, all the sauces and rubs, the gift baskets and the other Big Bob’s merch. The Danville location only had some sauces and one of the rubs, so be warned. Now to the food, I ordered a rib plate with a side of brisket. My Barbecue sides were greens and red potato salad. The meat was cooked as Bob’s always makes it, juicy. smoky and good. The sides were very good as well. The staff were great, and they helped me to select the rib plate and the side of brisket and I was not disappointed. One thing you will get from Big Bob Gibson’s locations is great barbecue at a very reasonable price.

I the food was delicious and the portions were healthy. No complaints here. The pie selection looked great. The server was great. Kind, respectful, hospitable. Ample parking and no wait upon entering this establishment. When in this neck of the woods. I’ll be sure to stop by.

I tried their white sauce that some people recommended. Nothing extraordinary but so low carb that it was great to be able to put some sauce on my brisket platter (because of my dietary restrictions). Sides were green beans and greens (turnip); they lacked a little seasoning (salt) and there was not much bacon or ham on it (not looking for the meat but the flavour). They only carry pepsi products.
The place was clean. The service was great. Monica G took great care of us. Definitely a repeatable experience in Decatur, AL.

I very rarely write reviews (I think I’ve written maybe one in almost 30 years!), but I feel compelled to share my experience at this location today. I don’t usually visit the Danville location because, as most people know, the 6th Avenue one tends to be much better. However, since they were out of the menu item I had my heart set on (we all get our fixations sometimes!), I decided to stop here instead.
When I pulled into the drive-through, the man in front of me was helped quickly, and there wasn’t much traffic — one car ahead, no one behind, and only a few people inside. But when it was my turn, no one ever took my order. I waited patiently, assuming maybe the speaker hadn’t registered my car. After about five minutes, I even backed up and pulled forward again to try to re-trigger it. I asked a few times whether I should go ahead and order or pull around, but after nearly ten minutes of silence (and a line forming behind me), I finally drove inside to order. As soon as I pulled away, I saw the car behind me being greeted immediately.
Inside, when I went to place my order a woman who I’m assuming was a manager was behind the counter. I asked whether there was something I needed to do to trigger the order system. She told me I just needed to get in line, but when I explained what had happened, she seemed unconcerned and even a little irritated that I’d asked. From that point forward, I felt dismissed and talked down to — as if I were being difficult rather than simply confused about what had gone wrong. I could also hear two younger employees saying it wasn’t their fault and that I “hadn’t really been in the line,” which was disheartening.
I want to emphasize that I make every effort to be polite in situations like this. I work with people every day, and I completely understand that things happen, systems malfunction, and employees have bad days. I wasn’t upset — just hoping for a brief apology or some acknowledgment of the wait. Instead, I left feeling embarrassed and brushed off.
I truly hope this feedback reaches management and that some attention is given to customer communication and empathy at this location. The 6th Avenue team always makes me feel welcome, and I hope this store can rise to the same standard 🙂

Awesome BBQ! Had a pork plate with macaroni and cheese and baked beans – so good. Added on a slice of peanut butter pie and was not disappointed. Dining area was nice and clean with good group seating option. One of the best BBQ places in Alabama in my opinion!

I haven’t eaten here in a long while. I thought I would get a turkey potato and a rib plate. The potato was rubbery as well as the turkey. The ribs over cooked and over seasoned. I did not know that if you go after 5pm the food went to hell. This was horrible. The Mac and cheese oh lord. I attached a photo you can pick up the whole clump with the fork. What happened to the pride in restaurants, and for 37 dollars. Never again

We actually thought we were going to the actual restaurant location. We hadn’t been there in years though so we plugged it into our car GPS and ended up here, which is sort of like a fast food version of the original.
Best parts:
The sweet tea and Mac & Cheese were amazing!!
The prize was fantastic!
Could of been better:
The chicken on my sandwich was a bit dry.
The worst:
The bun the sandwich is served on lacks any flavor and super dry which takes away from everything else on it.

This is a tough review, as I know that this establishment is an Alabama icon. However, I would be remiss if I did not state the facts that I witnessed. First, the food tasted good, was well presented and provided good-sized portions. Regrettably, that’s where the good stuff stops. The cashiers attitude was nonresponsive and cold, not very welcoming in any shape or manor. I know we all have bad days but when you’re in the customer service business you have to check that at the door. I was taken aback by being charged .25 cents for a glass of tap water… come on man, build this cost into your meal prices and don’t nickel and dime customers. In addition, you might want to take those .25 cents and pay someone to clean the dining room and tables, especially the sauce bottles and the salt and peppershakers. I went to use one and it was disgusting! These bottles have not seen a rag in a long time. I think you are on borrowed time and if you do not stop resting on your past laurels your fate is inevitable. As for me, I will not be back. Heaven only knows what the areas that you cannot see are like.

Dine-in is open and the service was fast. The food was delicious, especially the pulled pork and the chicken. We ordered the small Gibson plate with three meats and was enough food for two hungry meat-loving adults. Perfect balance of juicy, charred, and tender! The fries were also crispy and the coconut pie was just to die for. However the briskets were on the dry side and harder to chew..overall a great meal and I am looking forward to trying more items next time:)
