Meat Boss Cottage Hill: Reviews & Ratings
Excellent bbq with fast friendly service at a fair and reasonable price! We WILL be back!!! I had the sweet potato with slaw and pulled butt. Sides were conecuh sausage and banana pudding. Absolutely delicious!
Found this place on google and so glad we decided to stop. We tried a little of everything. Beef brisket, chicken, ribs, sausage, wings, rib candy and baked beans. EVERYTHING was excellent. Leane told us the history of the place including the introduction of the French Fry to the place. If you are near the area- STOP. Meat boss will not disappoint. Closed Sunday and Monday.
My wife and I met for lunch during rush hour. Staff handled crowd with ease. Love the atmosphere very welcoming. Service is fast and friendly, food is some of the best I've had in this part of USA. These folks KNOW BBQ!!! Recommend trying burger with sweet and spicy sauce. You get your money's worth! All in all this will be a favorite stopping point for my family. BRAVO, MEAT BOSS!!!!
Absolutely wonderful! Services were very good and personable. The food was amazing!
Meat Boss is a excellent bbq place in a state known for killer seafood! You don’t think, “Imma head on down to ‘Bama for some ‘Que!” So I have been bitterly disappointed by some of the bbq places native Alabamans have rated so highly. That’s not the case here. They serve chopped pork, brisket and ribs. The ordering is a bit complicated, but the food is as good a bbq as you’ll find anywhere. We ordered the ‘pulled’ pork and brisket, no bun, although you have several bread choices. You can get a little cup of slaw or potato salad, various very tasty bbq sauces, pickles, sour cream, killer jalapeno jelly, and a few other accoutrements none of which detract or mask the savory Smokey meat flavor. The meat is fatty enough to be really succulent without being oily/greasy. All the ‘Que sauces are delicious, but the Carolina and Spicy Carolina (neither mustard based) were the standouts. A word about their potato salad. If you’re used to restaurant-grade potato salad, and can live without it, wait till you try Meat Boss’ made-in-house version. Potatoes are cooked to perfection, then slathered with a mayo/sour cream dressing that’s both decadent and light, with just enough tang to keep your tastebuds clamoring for more. Reasonable prices, super helpful, friendly, and accommodating staff, this wonderful bbq purveyor is definitely on the “happily returning” list.
Absolutely blown away by this barbecue spot! The ribs were phenomenal—tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The chicken was just as impressive, cooked to perfection with incredible attention to detail. You can tell this is a family-owned restaurant by the warm, welcoming atmosphere and the passion behind every plate. The environment is relaxed and inviting, and the people are simply amazing. I felt right at home from the moment I walked in. I cannot wait to come back—this place is a true gem!
I met Ethan today at Meat Boss and he was very helpful with my decision making. He recommended the Boss Burger with added slaw pepper jack cheese and white sauce! this place is a 10/10 there is no debating when it comes to the Best BBQ in the city hands down!!! Oh, and I never leave without the smoked brisket!
Meat Boss has been a long time favorite, but we hadn't stopped by since my girlfriend discovered she has Celiac. We recently were so happy to find out that their meats and sauces are gluten free! There is a current gluten-free menu available, and the cashier was able to answer the questions we had. We were assured by staff that there are thorough precautions against cross contact as well for gluten-free orders. We shared a delicious baked potato with pulled pork. She had no reaction at all, and both of us were stuffed. Everyone there was very nice, some staff even going out of their way to meet the people visiting for a late lunch. We will be back soon!
