    Like it like always. Went there on way to Charlotte and always say need to find reason to go thru Tuscaloosa to eat at Dreamland. Ribs were great, slaw, beans, bread with sauce and that banana pudding! Also the atmosphere is great, waitresses outstanding!

    Hey rarely give five stars for food, service, and atmosphere; but this place entirely deserves it! Waters and Stephanie are awesome. I can honestly say it was the best banana pudding I have ever had hands down.

    Been to the one in Alpharetta, Ga several times and this location did not disappoint either! The best BBQ at all their locations. Well priced, good portions, and amazing taste.

    Straight-up Alabama barbecue energy. The ribs are smoky, a little messy, and best eaten with your hands, no shame. Sauce is tangy and bold, and the bread soaking it up is half the experience. Loud, casual, and packed with locals who know exactly why they’re there.
