City Barbeque — Huntsville

The business started in 1999 and has since grown into a multi-location operation, but the approach remains the same: low and slow over hickory, with smokers working where diners can see them. No shortcuts, just wood and time.

This Huntsville location sits on Memorial Parkway Southwest, serving brisket, ribs, and pulled pork smoked the same way they've done it from the beginning. The meat comes off when it's ready, not when the clock says so.
