Creek side bbq is an underrated gem. It's the perfect spot to eat at on nice day, especially if you sit outside on the patio along the creek. The food is good with just a little extra twist than what you're used to seeing at other bbq joints. The smoked pork belly comes with slaw and fried egg, the Mac and cheese comes with crumbled chips on top. Little touches like that, that makes it stand out. They also have other things besides bbq to enjoy as well
Right off the highway, super fast service. Asked for recommendations and was told the cheapest thing on the menu the sandwiches and the pork belly did not disappoint.
I had seen Creekside passing by on the interstate for a few years and today was the day I tried it. It is already an improvement over Awful...I mean...Waffle House. It's really impressive the work they have done and they added a porch out back. You order at the counter when you walk in. They give you a number and pick your own seat. Drinks are self-serve. Service does pick up your tray afterwards. I went with 2 meat. I would have went 3 meat except they were out of brisket at Friday lunch. The ribs were exceptional! They had a really smoky rub to them and were easy on the jaw. The pulled pork was solid. It was tender and fresh. There are 2 sauces. I enjoyed the mildly sweet but tangy brown BBQ sauce. It went well with the ribs and pulled pork. I love white sauce but I didn't enjoy Creekside's white sauce. There was something about it that I couldn't figure out. It needed more bite or tanginess to it. The sides were not bad but I felt they needed more. The corn casserole was basically cheesy corn dip. It needed at least crackers or bread crumbs on top to make it more like a casserole. It was pretty bland. Feta potato salad sounded amazing but it also fell flat. Sweet tea was refreshingly sweet! Creekside got the meats right. The sweet tea was perfect and the brown BBQ sauce was great. There is enough sides to try that I believe I would find a better side on my next visit.
This is a really cute spot right outside of Oak Mountain State Park. There's indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating faces a creek. You order at the register and seat yourself. Good is delivered to your table. Menu includes a variety of BBQ'd meats served as sandwiches or plates with a variety of sides. There is a bar with select spirits, wines, and draft beers. There were enough vegetarian sides to make a veggie plate. All the food was good. We'll definitely stop by again! The staff was very friendly. My menu questions were answered. He made suggestions on vegetarian options and draft beer. The food was cooked to order.
Outdoor patio in serene setting right off the interstate and creekside, as the name would suggest. BBQ itself was good, but only 2 sauces available, and side of slaw was especially salty.
Pulled pork was excellent; would get again! The brisket is a no though. SO fatty and bland- inedible. Some may like fatty brisket, but not my preference. Husband had loaded baked potato with white sauce and he said he would get again. We ate on the patio- nice atmosphere. Quick service! Will be back!
My husband and I went here together and absolutely loved it. The food is 10/10. It doesn't get better than this bbq. The location is beautiful with a creek and outside seating with heaters to keep guests warm. When we were planning our wedding, we were pleasantly surprised when we found out they do catering. The whole process of ordering the catering and receiving the food was extremely professional and they made us feel confident in the quality. They were friendly and reliable with quick responses. I couldn't not thank them enough. They made everything so special and everyone loved the food and the food was very important for us on our special day.
Creekside BBQ is just off of Interstate 65 and is a great place whether you are in the Pelham, Alabama area or just passing by on the highway. I had passed by this place countless times over the years and today I was craving barbecue and decided to give Creekside BBQ a try. The restaurant is located next to a creek, hence its name. They have a nice outdoor seating area and the inside is pleasant enough, as well. Let mebalso add that the staff here are incredible. They are sincerely friendly and just add to the overall experience. I ended up going with their half chicken and for my two sides, I went with collard greens and baked beans. The chicken was great. The sides were good, but the sides did not achieve greatness. Maybe it was just what I ordered because I saw a guy getting a burger with French fries and the French fries looked amazing. Again, the chicken was fantastic. Add to that the exceptional service and the cool vibe and this place was definitely a winner. I would definitely recommend here and I will give it five stars.
