Hancocks Barbeque — Restaurant in Alabama

So good you'll want more! And that's where me and Ms. Hancock argue everytime I stop in (LoL). See, my favorite is the bbq plate with 2 slaws, but I frequently want that 3rd side that currently isn't offered on the plate with 2 sides that has been Hancocks trademark ever since I can remember. Let me tell you why I have chose 2 slaws as both sides... It all dates back to my childhood when Selma had Mac's Fish Camp and my Grandfather - God rest his soul - would take us for dinner... long story short, Mac's caught fire and burned down but that famous slaw lives as one of the available sides at my favorite BBQ restaurant in the continental U.S. and yes, I've been to Kansas, Missouri and of course, Austin - and Hancocks in Selma, Alabama is where I go for my preffered Que! Family owned and operated, you get that atmosphere when you walk in the doors. You're family to these fine folks on every shift and every day. The bbq has a special sauce - add as much as you like at the table and buy a jug to take home. If your like me and grew up in this neck of the woods, you'll be reminded of the good ole days everytime you walk in and take a bite! If your looking for options other than bbq, try a burger, catfish or chicken tenders. There are new items available on the menu these days so stop on in and sample...

The only thing I could fault here was the service and the waitress just seemed young, inexperienced and aloof. The food was amazing (and I hate barbeque). The ribs were fall off the bone tender without being mush and just the right amount of natural smoke. The sauce wasn't great, but that's one of my least favorite things about barbeque so I'll leave it alone it's different for everyone. The signs inside the place we're cute and sparked debate at the table. The other, more frequent clientele, struck up a conversation and everyone seemed very polite and friendly (which was also the overall feeling I got from the entire city of Selma, not sure if this is considered Selma, but that's the closest city I could think of). Overall, not a terrible dining experience. The one thing that REALLY bugs me is that because the waitress was not mediocre, she didn't try to upsell desert and I completely forgot about the tantalizing sounding caramelized banana pudding! I wanted to try...

New Review: (4 stars) Food was very good, I would suggest the BBQ, Hamburger Steak, and new Fried BBQ Cabbage. The only think the only thing I would not suggest is the new apple sticks. The manufacturer changed the style they make and they are not very good.

Previous Review: (4 stars) Great food, especially the Hamburger Steak. Best in the area!! One of the best in the state! Get it with onions and enjoy. Their Apple Crisps are great to go along with the Hamburger Steak. I encourage you to try this small, out of the way, BBQ Joint (Dive Place)!! Service is normally...
