Dreamland is eminently known for bar-b-que ribs. 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 years since Mr. John "Big Daddy" Bishop first opened his store, little has changed.
The roads have been paved much the same as they were back in 1958. The décor inside is warm and dark. The dining room is small with a big bar, a few tables, booths, and a pot bellied stove. Beer signs hang from the oak beams and Christmas lights hang from the walls all year 'round. It isn't fancy, but then again the ribs are the main attraction anyway.
The atmosphere is casual-down home. You may rub elbows with somebody famous while you sit at the bar; and people come from all over to enjoy the ribs. The point is that it doesn't matter who you are, at Dreamland everybody is special and everybody is there for the same reason-the ribs. The legendary ribs, service and atmosphere are also available in our other locations. In addition to the legendary ribs and sauce, the menu has been expanded to include such items as: baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, banana pudding, salads, pork sandwiches and bar-b-que chicken.
Andrew - do you really have over 13,000 posts?! Dude, do you know how much bandwidth you take up?
So you have posted nearly 15,000 times! That's staggering!They actually deleted around 2,000 posts of mine during the last bandwidth purge.
One of these days I'll run out of things to say and will end it like Forrest Gump: "That's all I have to say about that."
Saturday I had a rack of ribs at The Rendezvous in Memphis, TN.
Best ribs around.
One positive aspect of living in the mid-south is an abundance of good places to eat BBQ - unlike those unfortunate enough to live in Texas, The North, or, well, anywhere else outside of the mid-south.
Yes - most of them. I live ~90 miles from Memphis, and have lived in Memphis, have family that lives or did live in Memphis, sometimes shop or do business in Memphis, etc....so I've ate most everywhere in Memphis. Even out here where I live, we have several area restaurants that do very good BBQ. I could eat a top-quality BBQ each day of the week at a different restaurant.
Corkys, Gridleys, Neelys....there's one place I'm thinking of now, can't remember the name of it, that is better than all of those.....I'll have to call my sister and ask the name.
Moderator manipulation. Josh, we all known that you don't have nearly 2,000,000 posts.13,000? That's child's play.
The BBQ Shop, perhaps? It's definitely my favorite out of the places I've been to, including Corky's. Central BBQ and Topps are good as well, but still just not quite at the level of "the shop" In my humble opinion.
I figured it out - Germantown Commisary.
Good ribs, good BBQ.....there was a side dish that was great there, and I can't remember what it was.

ONLY in TEXAS is this sublime wonderful culinary expression to be found! Imitation is however a great flattery!Memphis has the best guys.Sorry Texas and Alabama.
Travis is right on the money!Try any small town Texas hole in the wall BBQ joint and you will be delighted.

Whatever, man. I'm old school. I started back in May of '03. You wouldn't believe the amount of posts which have been "lost" during upgrades, transfers, etc.
