Dreamland BBQ: Southern BBQ!

Wanted to find a different place to dine at each evening we were in Atlanta. So we asked his hotel driver where was a great place for BBQ, so he took us here. We were not disappointed and really enjoyed the food, decor, and service.

History:
In 1958 was a big year for Tuscaloosa. Not only was it the first year that Paul “Bear” Bryant starting coaching at Alabama, but it was the year that John “Big Daddy” Bishop opened his first Dreamland Café. Big Daddy was a mason for many years, which is some hard work. One night he got on his knees and prayed for another way to make a living. That night, he dreamed of opening a café and he made that dream a reality.

The original Dreamland Café is located about two miles from the intersection of Hwy 82 and Interstate 59 just south of Tuscaloosa in an area known as Jerusalem Heights. In the beginning, it wasn’t just ribs and white bread. Big Daddy cooked a lot of different things, but what made the customers keep coming back was not only the warmth they felt every time they passed through the door, but Big Daddy’s ribs and secret recipe bar-b-que sauce.

Firehouse Subs: Founded by Firemen

We like to try different places, so we will venture out and explore. Explore we did. We found this place and gave it a try. We were pleased with the decor, food, and service. So we give this place two thumbs up!

The Firehouse Subs was founeded by Robin and Chris Sorensen, two firefighters brothers whose legacy was traced back 200 years of firefighting experiences. So in 1994 they created a new restaurant built on pride and honor and of course great food!
