Archibald's

Alabama


You'll smell Archibald's before you get there, and when you smell it, you won't be able to resist stopping by. This is big, bold barbecue: rib slabs, pork butts, and smoked chicken that is just flat out mouth watering. Get yourself some banana pudding on the way out, then avoid calories for about a week.
