Martin's -b-que Joint - Vestavia Hills

The ribs were perfectly cooked and sauced, although I found the brisket to be a bit dry which is why 4stars but I recommend trying for yourselfFood: 4/5

Absolutely best bbq around. Mac and cheese was super flavorful. Also one of the few places in bham that have brisket. Their brisket burger is also a must try. Great atmosphere and plenty of shaded outdoor seating with fans.Food: 5/5

Best BBQ I have found so far in AL. Get the brisket and ribs with a side of wings.Kid-friendliness: the outdoor seating is great for the kids

I had the barbecue pulled pork sandwich with slaw, baked beans and fries. I have to say all was good but you may want to ask for some extra sauce. Don’t get me wrong, I just like the sauce! I ate at the outside tables and I like that option. Parking at the lower entrance can be tricky so if it looks crowded just go to the upper lot. The lower is a dead end and harder to maneuver.

Very tasty. Great choices. Great atmosphere. Family-friendly. Love the brisket, the slaw, the cornbread! Kind service.
