Awesome food at Archibalds. Had the large dinner plate with pulled pork and ribs and they were incredible. I have never been a fan of mustard on my bbq but Archibald's has changed my way of thinking. The people were really nice too. Loved my experience!!

These are hands-down THE VERY BEST ribs in Tuscaloosa. IT'S where the locals go! You are not there for the ambiance - you are there for the season and smoke. Trust me! Do not miss a chance to try these ribs- get a few slabs to go and lots of sauce and light bread. It's the good stuff!!!

Had the combo plate, food was amazing! Service was quick especially for Gameday. Atmosphere was top notch being an Alabama fan. Highly recommend for anyone in the area.

I can see why this place was featured in Southern Living magazine. The food is fantastic! We ordered takeout of ribs, a whole chicken, catfish, fried okra, potato salad and baked beans. The order also came with soft white bread. The catfish was delicious. It was crispy and seasoned just right. I couldn't stop eating it. Rolling a piece of catfish onto the bread brought back childhood memories. I know this is a barbecue place, but I will order the fish every time I come to Tuscaloosa! The ribs and chicken were pretty good too. Dipping the chicken in the sauce took the flavor to another level. The baked beans were really tasty and the potato salad was prepared the way I liked it. I had several servings of each. Can't wait to return during my next visit!

I can't get this style of barbecue in the Midwest. Ribs and smoked beans were second to none. As you pull into the parking, the odor of the smoke from the pit confirms you made the right choice with Archibalds.

I give five stars to the original location only. The others are awful unfortunately. You get bad customer service (and by bad I mean horrific), and they will over salt food to the point of being inedible. The original location has amazing customer service and the food is always on point. Far better than any other BBQ places in Northport. Best in all of North West Alabama.
