I've eaten a lot of different BBQ in a lot of different states, and I can say that Southland's BBQ is solid. The ribs are exceptionally good, and I've always been happy with the sides (although I'm admittedly not that adventurous and usually get the mac-and-chese and turnip greens). The people are friendly and the down-home vibes make it easy to settle in for chitchat with the locals.

It's a small restaurant tucked in a shopping center in Argo, AL. You'd never know how good the food is until you step in and try. I don't know what the secret is to their burgers, they're just good. And their pork sandwich is outstanding as well. The food is cooked as you order it, so don't expect a 30-second turnaround on getting your food. Worth the wait!

Y'all know I'm always on the lookout for a good cheeseburger. Well, this place has them, among many other delicious things. It's located in a small strip mall so parking can be tricky but it's worth it! Lol! The dining room gives that small town feel, and I'm here for it!! You can sit, for the most part, where you want, in their small dining area or in a booth in an attached area. The service has never been bad. We've rated here a number of times with my in-loves, who live in the area, and frequently eat here. All of their food is fresh and cooked to order. I've eat several things but let's talk about the double cheeseburger and homemade fries! The burger is so big that you can't get it in your mouth! It's so juicy, too! And the fries... my gracious! So! Good! It's all responsibly priced for home cooked food. So go and give them a try!! You won't be disappointed! Oh!! They also do large orders for pick up. We've had thanksgiving, Christmas and birthday meals from here. Again, you won't be disappointed! Peace out

Awesome bbq and potato salad. I have eaten here a lot over the last few years and have never been disappointed. Last year I ordered a smoked turkey for Thanksgiving and it was incredible. I was not disappointed.

I'm from out of town, and was using Yelp to locate another spot, but this place was the only one that I could find in the area. I'm glad because it was great food and service. Clean and neat as well. Short wait. Out of smoked chicken wings, but the special looked great though; hamburger steak with onions, mash potatoes with gravy, turnip greens, a roll, & dessert of choice. I chose the smoked ribs which were charred on the outside but tender inside. Cajun fries with ranch and baked beans were tasty. Took off with a slice of orange cake to go. Staff is very nice. BBQ smells amazing walking in from parking lot & leaves a great taste in your mouth too. Just a short ways off the interstate. Decor is country and sweet. Extra space in the back for larger crowds. Clean bathrooms, (1 @ a time) including a changing table in the women's. Would come back again when passing through. Better than expected!

Hard call. On my visit I had a bbq sandwich with hand-cut fries. The BBQ was very good, yet I prefer sliced bbq, which was not an option. The fries were too salty. Prices here are reasonable and portion sizes are generous. Rumour has it that the daily special is really the way to go in terms of value for money. Service is good.

This place is a hidden gem, located in a rural are between Trussville and Springville. It's located in a strip mall with just a handful of stores. The front of this place is unassuming, with just a simple sign and not much thought towards marketing. What they lack in pizazz, they certainly make up in good food. Their pork BBQ is very good. Smoked with hickory wood for hours, the flavor is deep and powerful (but not overly powerful). Their chicken is likewise delicious, and was not too dry. I liked the chicken, but the pork was better in my opinion. One of their signature dishes is a BBQ nacho. It's a mound of nachos with pulled pork on top. I've also had their wings...and these were probably my favorite menu items. They are smoked and then flash fried. With a kicking sauce dripping off, I was tempted to eat the bone and all. Their staff is laid back and super friendly. It's also a place I wouldn't hesitate to bring children. Chances are, you won't disturb the crowd that I've seen in here. I definitely recommend this place. Happy dining
