What Emelia Greenfelder likes about Dreamland Bar-B-Que:
My fiancée has been a loyal customer of this Dreamland for years. She jokes that she should “own shares in Dreamland”! The staff is so friendly and the food is always delicious. We love to support the local business and it is not difficult when the food is so good! Be patient with them as they train new employees in the shortage of staff that many companies are facing right now. View all feedback. What Liam Güler doesn't like about Dreamland Bar-B-Que:
Was ok. Service was great. 2nd restaurant we visited in Alabama. Ribs were not fall off the bone, had to work to eat them. Lots of fat. Also not a fan of the vinegar based sauces. The mac-n-cheese was delicious. And so were the fried green tomatoes. The link sausage was also okay and the sweet tea was far from sweet. We expected more from a southern barbecue place. Really made us appreciate Q's Barbecue back home in... View all feedback.

Visiting a barbecue restaurant in Alabama, the experience brought mixed reviews from a variety of guests. While some were disappointed in the dry ribs that lacked flavor, others praised the delicious baked green tomatoes and plump, flavorful ribs. Some found the mac-n-cheese to be store-bought and lacking in homemade flavor, while others enjoyed the banana pudding and nachos. The atmosphere was described as interesting, with a smoky aroma in the air adding to the ambience. Despite some inconsistencies in the food quality, the friendly service and unique offerings encouraged visitors to try the restaurant for a taste of authentic Southern barbecue.
