Bob Sykes Barbeque

Sure, it's a ways from downtown Birmingham. And sure, youÂ'll pass a lot of restaurants getting here. But if you can make it to Bob Sykes, you'll be rewarded with what several regional and national publications hail as THE place for bar-b-q. The tradition of the Sykes Family's signature, slow-cooked pork and beef dates back more than 50 years, and regulars claim it's nothing short of perfection. After the long drive, treat yourself to a Big Bob Special – a large helping of Q with a drink and two sides. A word to the wise: their onion rings are homemade!
