Eating Our Way Through The South – Part 3 – Mitchell’s Smoked Meats

BBQ is synonymous with the south. We were in the deep south and needed some authentic southern BBQ. Bruce knew just where to take us too. He took us to his and Julia’s favorite BBQ place, Mitchell’s Smoked Meats, in Muscle Shoals.

Mitchell’s Smoked Meats is a local gem known for flavorful options and friendly service. The owner and staff are very welcoming and make customers feel valued. The smoked brisket is flavorful and tender, and the chopped brisket is a must-try. The half chicken plate is excellent, accompanied by generous sides like turnip greens and white beans. The smoked turkey legs and pulled pork are very good, while the ribs fall off the bone. The brisket is extremely tender, and the peach cobbler tastes just like homemade. Customers praise the quality of the smoked meats and sides, and say the service is friendly, fast, and relaxed. The interior is clean, and every bite receives high praise. Many appreciate paying a little more for great service and quality, especially since they prefer supporting small businesses over larger establishments. This restaurant is a favorite for those seeking delicious barbecue and a welcoming atmosphere, making it one of the best in town.

This is Chamayne. She knows all about service with a smile and she took great care of us.

We all ordered our BBQed favorites and while we waited for it to arrive, Mitchell himself came out to greet us.

Then Mitchell took Larry around the back to show off his smoker and smokehouse, where all his meats are smoked to perfection. The building behind the smoker is the smokehouse.

Our food arrived shortly after. It was every bit as good as Bruce (and Mitchell) promised.

Once again, Julia and I ordered the same dish. We both went for the brisket.

And once again, the boys ordered something different. Bruce ordered the short ribs.

Larry ordered the pulled pork plate.

Everything was definitely “finger lickin’ good ” too. This is truly delicious southern hospitality. 🙂

Mitchell’s is located at 2800 S Wilson Dam Rd, Muscle Shoals. You can call and order ahead, place an order for smoked meats, (256) 814-1400, or you can just walk in. Either way, your taste buds will be in for treat. 🙂

I’ve said it many times, good food shared with good friends is what life is all about. It doesn’t get much better than that. Live life to the fullest, and share it with good friends. Have a great day and make everyday great. ‘Til next time.
