Brother Paul's BBQ & Catering — Restaurant in Alabaster

Brother Paul’s bbq is now open in alabaster on 31 right before 119 and the train tracks. Paul Curcio used to own golden rule bbq in Pelham. Now he is here in alabaster. We just left and I’m so happy he’s back. He makes the best bbq around. I just had a bbq sandwich and 2 ribs. The ribs were the best I’ve ever had. The most tender smoky flavor , easy to bite off the bone but not all fatty and too smoky. Look at the picture of the grill full of meat ! They were perfect , the bbq was a cross between sliced and chopped but bigger meatier chunks which I like. The rib sauce had a slight kick to it. I got baked beans which I really don’t like but Paul’s has a less sweeter taste. Kind of a meaty taste. They were fabulous. My wife had a jumbo bbq sandwich and Mac and cheese and black eyed peas which she said was excellent. I can’t wait to go back. Now he’s going to start smoking briskets on Friday’s and Saturdays , Try it if you never have or if you miss the old business he’s back...

We were driving through Alabama and decided to try some BBQ. I saw this on the map and said let's stop and try it. I'm so glad we did because all the food was delicious. The Mac n cheese was some of the best I've ever had. The chopped pork sandwich was so yummy. I really loved the black eyed peas, smokey, meaty, juicy and so full of flavor. The staff was very kind and helpful. The prices are super nice and reasonable. It's set inside a multi-business building so we did need to be told where to go. That being said, there's plenty of room inside for a small crowd to enjoy delicious food. This place honestly deserves its own building. If you ever travel to Alabama or drive through Alabaster, please do yourselves a favor and stop in to try this places food. You won't regret it. Oh and why not get some food to go while your there cuz your totally going to want to share...

Red sauce drips off the grilled chicken catching on the tray beneath it. Steam rises from the green beans and black eyed peas. John Denver’s “Country Road” is playing softly through the speakers while a box fan is blowing air throughout the little BBQ cafe.

I can see storm clouds gathering outside the large floor-to-ceiling windows. And yet, the people keep stepping inside the creaking front door for pork sandwiches or a serving of their delicious banana pudding.

A train track is situated behind the building giving a whistle stop cafe vibe, minus the fried green tomatoes. Paul, the owner, greets all the customers one at a time, asking if anything is needed, thanking a veteran, and just welcoming everyone into the space. Inviting them to sit and stay a while. To enjoy a break from the Alabama heat while sipping on iced sweet tea in authentic southern...
