Chester's Barbecue - Phenix City

The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the food is delicious. I really enjoyed the sauce they use; it offers a refreshing twist compared to typical BBQ sauces. The ribs were incredibly tender, with the meat falling right off the bone and bursting with flavor. I will definitely be returning for more!

As soon as we noticed the smoke wafting from behind the restaurant, we knew it was going to be a great experience. The sauces were tangy, and the pork was absolutely delicious. The ribs were juicy and satisfying—just incredible! They did serve a rather standard portion of fried okra, but it was still enjoyable. Since there’s nothing like this where I live, this meal is definitely one I’ll remember!

I've known about this restaurant for a long time, dating back to when my wife and I first visited in 2011. We would often grab two orders of ribs to take back to Atlanta. The food has consistently been excellent. The ribs are perfectly cooked, complemented by the delicious collard greens, cabbage, and mac and cheese.

Local Columbus GA and Phenix City AL, family owned restaurants. I visited the AL restaurant because it is closer to the area. I bought the smoked rib shell. Meat fell from the bone. Mac and cheese and potato salad added, and it was very delicious. This meal definitely hits the point and brings me to sleep within an hour after eating. If you are in this area and want a great home cooked food, visit either spots (one in Columbus GA and one in Phenix City AL). I would recommend it.

We had ribs with mac n cheese, baked chicken and potato salad. Very tasty. Had to wait a bit but it was well worth the time.
