We stopped at Ken's BBQ after reading trip advisor. We arrived early, but by the time we left the place was full. Not a big place, but the people in the south are very friendly and Ken's is no exception. Portions were large and we left stuffed, commenting how good the food was. From the sweet tea, pork BBQ, slaw,... more

I have a slice... more

Ken's BBQ is about 10 minutes north of I-59 on US Hwy 79 in Pinson, AL. Kens has a very simplistic menu, offering little more than your basic pork or chicken bbq. The bbq is good quality with little to recommend it above a thousand other neighborhood bbq greasy spoons. However, if you are in the mood for a great,... more
