Today, the wife and I, had the pleasure of eating at the new 306 BBQ downtown. I say we had the pleasure because the meal was great. We were only able to try two of the meats today but I look forward to trying the Ribs and Turkey soon.
We chose the Pulled Pork and 1/4 Chicken and both were very good. Their french fries were also very good but the Pulled Pork and the Baked Beans excelled. In fact their Pulled Pork as well as the Baked Beans easily capture my choice for best BBQ Pork and Baked Beans in the Shoals area.
I must say that this place is huge, for a Restaurant. There is a rear entrance which is off the alley way just behind Regions Bank and while the entire restaurant/building is dine in the front is more self serve and have a seat whereas the rear of the building is more set down and be waited on. Either way this place is worth the trip and worth a try.
The only negatives I can think of to recognize is of course the parking which is like every other downtown business and is first come first serve and metered parking during the day until 5PM, except on weekends. The only other negative would be that their sweet tea wasn't as sweet as I particularly like it but then I do like mine sweet so maybe for most others it will be fine. Their choice of tea is a good one because I could easily drink theirs pre-Sweetened or unsweetened. I will also say, before I left, I had to try the banana pudding and like the pulled pork it was great.
I'll definitely be putting 306 BBQ on my list of routine restaurants to make a part of my monthly routine and it adds one more reason to visit the downtown Florence area. The only ones that are really not going to be liking 306 BBQ are the folks across the street at Flobama BBQ because this place is definitely going to be some stiff competition.
