Dick Howell's BBQ — Restaurant in Florence

I have very disappointed and let down. I will never visit this place again. I am self proclaimed BBQ Connoisseur. My family is know to travel from state to state just for BBQ. I recently moved to Florence to give the local food a try. I have attempt to be patron of this establishment prior to this day. The first time the didn't have any ribs so we assumed it was hour and half to closing so out of assumption we thought it was a busy day. 2nd time, no ribs and this was noon. The guy in back so come back tomorrow. I was upset so I decided to give another try a couple weeks later. Before noon this time I tried the guy in the back says every time yall come we don't have any. I refused to go back but my friend say ill go pick some up but i will call this time. A lady answers and says yes we have some. He asked can we order a couple plates, we are ten minutes away. He goes into the store in 20 minutes later He returns to the car with the plates. Told me it took long due the lady couldn't get them on plate and microwave failed. I get some the food is dumped in and cold. Who makes cole slaw with mustard peppers and vinegar. Ribs taste like vinegar. Some part tender some hard like it was oven baked not grilled or smoked. If you people here in Florence love this place you need to get some new taste buds. The food is horrible just like...

Absolutely AMAZING, Best food in the shoals area and the inside smells like heaven the lady at the front is so nice! And so is the cook out back. I love going here! I try to at least once a week! There’s a man who does orders to he is very nice! Definitely recommend this amazing place! Hotdogs are great. slaw, ketchup, mustard anything! And the Chicken Plate is one of my favorites as well as bbq plate and sandwich. PLEASE YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS OUT!!! I beg you! Prices are cheap and you can even get some golden flake chips with your food as well as a drink I guarantee you’ll love it and will want to come back to not only eat but see these amazing employees! They are so nice!...

A true diamond in the rough! The location is very accessible from busy Pine st. Even though it is not in the downtown area of Court st, it is well worth the drive! Your tastebuds will thank you! The best prices around and the portions are avg to slightly above avg which is great for consumers! Locally owned & operated with the small "Ma & Paw" feel that makes each experience personal & inviting with their friendly staff. All walks of life come here to enjoy a bite for lunch. This is an order to-go type establishment with no inside seating (that I recall). It's been around for...
