Barbecue Along I-59 (between Birmingham & Hattiesburg)

I'll be driving this stretch of I-59 a couple times next week and would appreciate any suggestions for barbecue lunch stops. I've been to Dreamland, Bob Sykes, Archibald's, and Full Moon (the latter two being my favorites of the 4) and would like to try something new (unless of course those are my best options). Any suggestions?

    This place serves outstanding country food and steaks at night. It's been here a while. It's just a few miles off I 59 at Hwy. 14 NW of Eutaw, AL. Looks like a good place to stop for lunch.

    Cotton Patch Restaurant @ Union Rd., Eutaw, AL 205 - 372 - 4235.

      This place is not BBQ but it's got an excellent reputation for country style meals and outstanding steaks. It's just north of Bay Minette a few miles off I 65 at Hwy. 59. Pretty much in the country. Should be good.

      Stage Coach Cafe @ 52860 State Highway 59, Stockton, AL 251 - 580 - 0608.

        The Cotton Patch was a wonderful, unique place for supper - but it's been closed now for at least two or three years.

            This article says it reopened in August, 2008.

              ...but then it closed again after that article (sewer pipe problem from the nearby construction of a Bingo parlor, I think) and if you call their number today, it's disconnected.

          Thanks Littleman - great list! I'll check out the links and see what looks good. I keep hearing that Saw's in Birmingham is worth a stop.

            When they're on their game, Saw's is probably the best pulled pork in Birmingham. Then again, half this town chops, which is an abomination. However, it's not so close to 59.
