I'm not even a rib person, but that was what was on the menu today, so I got it. Y'all, the exotic rub is incredible. They are dehydrating jalapenos, garlic, onion, etc. and grinding them up for the rub. It's fresh and herbaceous with the perfect kick. I was so impressed. If I lived in Mobile, I'd be a regular. Oh, and the pork rind "snack"... come on now. So good!!!

In a town full of BBQ joints, this one stands out alone. Simple. Delicious. Affordable. This place keeps the menu and the food simple in the best possible way. They know what they do and they knock it out of the park. The owner is very friendly and while the "atmosphere" of the restaurant is far from fancy, I will be ordering food from here every time I'm in Mobile, I can promise you that. If you're coming here to sit down and eat, don't expect anything fancy. Folding tables and canned drinks. Here, it's all about the meat, and frankly, that's all that matters when it's this good.

I used to be a vegetarian, and I haven’t had ribs since 2017/2018 and wasn’t sure about trying it again. Oh my goodness, these Pulled Rib Sliders “All The Way” were fantastic! Also, with a side of Southern Caviar. I recommend trying this spot. Service very friendly and quick too!

No doubt the best ribs I've tasted in 55 years. Mr. Man set us up right to include the black eye peas Suc a Tash If you're not satisfied let me know, I'll Guarantee your money back

Bay Barbecue’s ribs and sauce are hands down the best we’ve ever had. After extensive research, I chose Bay Barbecue for our first ribs of vacation. I called and asked if they were open and if so, could we please pick up four racks of ribs at 3:00. They remarked that they were planning to close at 2:00 but that they would be happy to stay and wait for us to arrive. We have sampled barbecue from several places in St Louis and Memphis but we now have a new favorite. Upon hearing that it was our first time at BB, they insisted on an immediate tasting. It is clear that they take pride in their work as well they should. They run a very reasonably priced, well-kept establishment and are incredibly kind. Especially amidst the pandemic, we felt very comfortable in the building and consuming their food. While our BBQ research will continue, I have a feeling that we will always compare others to Bay Barbecue, wishing we were there instead.

This was AMAZING BBQ! The reviews online are right on this one I eat Local when we travel as much as possible. Find some winners and some losers. This was a Winner for sure. Sort of hard to find - on a main road. No big sign out front. Was a house converted into a bbq joint with a very small indoor seating area and front deck. Parking out back. WORTH IT! I told Arthur we like ribs and I like brisket. He set us up with a half rack and a half pound of brisket. "Dry Rub" is not what I normally have or would pick. Seems like it would equal dried out ribs as well. WRONG! They were tender, juicy, flavorful and PERFECT! Best ribs I've ever had. Plan on buying a full rack to take back home when we leave. The Brisket was On Point. Little heavy on the black pepper for the wife but I loved it. Juicy means Not Dried Out and this was juicy. No bun or sauce wanted or needed. Thank you Arthur for a wonderful meal!

Let me start by saying the ribs were fantastic. Not what you expect when you drive up. Doesn't have your typical sides, no fries or baked beans. They did have deviled eggs. It's almost artisan, but with a backroads blend. Highly recommend.

This place is amazing. Their BBQ ribs are made with dry rub and it is so tasteful. Pork rind are served before the meal and served with special tasty sauce. My husband got Erotic rib plate and I got Brisket tower and erotic rib plate. They are so delicious! We are so happy to have found an amazing BBQ place in Mobile. If you are in town and if you crave BBQ, please try!!
