Jim Deerman's Barbeque - Birmingham

We eat wings. Lots of wings. My fam thinks this is the best wing/fry/ranch combo that we've had! The price is even great. I would pay more for this quality in taste and size. A large order is all I can handle. 3 of these feeds our group of 4.

Me and the family eat here 3 times a month good fresh ribs and catfish Food is always hot and every one is super nice best bbq in town clean bathrooms. Just overall clean and good only wish we lived closer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fantastic smoked sausage, though half the time I've gone they've been sold out, so get there early! Sides are good, ribs are good, portions are great, and the staff has always been friendly. If you're in the neighborhood it's worth coming by.

So.... I saw the previous reviews and I'm wondering if the quality has just gone down hill or if they we're talking about another restaurant? Ordered a slab and 2 sides baked beans and Mac and cheese. Sides tasted like hospital food ABSOLUTELY NO SEASONING OR FLAVOR. Bland and almost like it was straight out of a can. The ribs were over cooked. I prefer my ribs to fall off the bone. These ribs require you to scrape them off with your teeth or a sharp knife. The sauce was the best thing about the meal, but for $30 I expected more. Especially with the line around the building. Inside was closed of course because of covid but what can you do. The line did move decently fast and the staff was very friendly. I called my order in so I wouldn't have to wait, but I think they gave it away. But the staff did a great job of getting a new order together and were extremely friendly. But they couldn't make up for the lack luster sub par food. Easy pass for me.

My family and I stopped here for dinner while heading back from Memphis. The people here at Deerman's Hickory Pit BBQ seemed to be quite friendly and the bathrooms within the restaurant were clean, which is something guests should always check. A dirty bathroom typically means an unsanitary kitchen. I had the pork platter which comes with pulled pork and two sides, plus beans. For the two sides I had the green beans and macaroni and cheese. Both of the sides were very good. The BBQ sauce here is moderately good, I had better and had not so good, though I liked that it was not too sweet. The pork here is cooked slightly more on the overdone side. It needs to be cooked of course, but maybe not so long as pork will tend to become a bit dry. I like that they do everything here, the BBQ is smoked here with fresh wood that I noticed on the side of the building and the place seems to be quite popular with the locals. It seems that the Birmingham Police like this place, as there were a few squad cars and officers eating here. On average you will spend about $10-12 per person here, the kid meals are about $5 and include a drink and bag of animal cookies. The people here were kind enough to give us an extra one as well, which was very nice. I'd give this place 4 stars on the customer service and food. I would eat here again for sure, but I recommend eating here instead of take out. [Review #344] (104th Review of 2015)
