Mon Nov 06 18:29:02 -0800 2006 16419 paulgardner 1 2001082 I've never ordered ribs through the mail so I don't know how they'd fair. When we go to the in laws (Alabama) we always make a stop at Dreamland http://www.dreamlandbbq.com/ They only lightly season them and they're not completely smoked. Just cooked over hard wood at a low temp. What they are is the best ribs I and my southern wife have ever had. So, while I would highly recommend these ribs at their restaurant. I would never recommend ANY rib, mail order. I just don't know what you'd be getting. That said, if I were to MO ribs, it'd be them.

The sauce is some of the most addictive stuff on the planet. Worth it to place an order just to get a quart of sauce. The loaf of Sunbeam bread they include for sopping up puts a smile on your face too.

First!!

He said the line out the door before 'Bama games was ridiculous. I guess you could say this place has serious credentials. Tue Nov 14 01:33:24 -0800 2006 2003854 18385 CDouglas 4 2019289 Supposedly it's better than the one in Huntsville. And that one is great. They say the longer you use the pit, the better the ribs. In Tuscaloosa all they serve is ribs, sauce and sunbeam bread. DT Tue Nov 14 02:06:56 -0800 2006 2019192 11291 Davwud 1 2003034 Corky's in Memphis Fedex's overnight both their wet and dry ribs. I do not want to start a debate about Corky's but I think you will like them, my sister in bbq challenged Pa. orders them and her friends and family are always pleased. Google them for their website. Tue Nov 07 15:39:41 -0800 2006 2000670 12607 Tee 2 2003094 A couple of the other Memphis BBQ joints that have been in that debate also shipped nationwide (helps to have FedEx hq in Memphis) - Interstate Bar-B-Que - http://www.jimneelysinterstatebarbecue.com/ Rendezvous - http://www.hogsfly.com/ Corkys - http://www.corkysbbq.com Tue Nov 07 15:55:06 -0800 2006 2003034 11622 weinstein5 3 2003860 I haven't had Interstate. I love Rendezvous and I think Corky's ribs are over rated. I'd definitely skip Corky's. DT Tue Nov 07 19:41:21 -0800 2006 2003094 11291 Davwud 4 2147393 Interstate makes the best ribs in Memphis. I love Corky's and I think Rendezvous ribs are over-rated. I'd definitely skip Rendezvous. Wed Jan 03 03:33:23 -0800 2007 2003860 22801 bkhuna 1 2098115 Honestly I don't think Dreamland's are THAT much better than Blue Ribbon's or East Coast Grill's on a good day. I like Dreamland's ribs, but ... they're expensive mail-ordered and not necessarily worth the cost. Thu Dec 14 01:29:19 -0800 2006 2000670 10283 Dax 1 2146850 hey paulgardner, Try my ribs. They are the best you'll ever have. They are dry rubbed in New Jersey! I'll send you a sampler for the cost of shipping if you are interested. I'm a yankee trying to make it in the BBQ business!
