It doesn't get much more old school than Archibald’s BBQ in Northport, Alabama. The place has been serving pulled pork, chicken, and ribs since 1962, and they have a loyal fanbase from all around the state. Everything on the menu is worth a try, but make sure to also pair it with some sweet tea and fried okra or fried green tomatoes and be prepared to find a nice comfortable bed to take a nap in shortly after.
This small restaurant has made it intoThe New York TimesandSouthern Living, and local legend says it used to be a favorite of revered state football coach Bear Byrant.
