About Dale's BBQ
Dale's BBQ is a barbecue restaurant on AL-168 in Boaz, serving through two drive-thru windows with no indoor dine-in, just benches set up outside. The menu runs 28 dishes deep, with potato salad and baked beans as recurring sides alongside brisket, often paired with cole slaw or potato salad. Rib plates appear on the menu, with ribs featured as a Friday special, and smoked chicken rounds out the rib special days. Sauce comes in red and white options. Service is walk-in at the counter or window, and the restaurant welcomes dogs. It operates Monday through Saturday and closes on Sundays.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return for the BBQ potato, praised repeatedly for its sauce and toppings, with the brisket close behind, described as smoked well and good with the red BBQ sauce. Rib plates paired with potato salad and baked beans also draw steady praise, and several mention generous sandwich portions and quick drive-thru service, including phone orders ready on arrival. Staff are called nice and respectful across multiple reviews. One reviewer, however, reports a recent visit where the meat tasted bland and the sauce lacked its usual kick, and felt shorted when asking for extra sauce, leaving them doubtful about returning. That complaint stands out against an otherwise consistent pattern of solid, inexpensive plates served fast from the walk-up window.
