This week's new restaurant is Southern Legacy BBQ and Brew in Hoover off Hwy 150/John Hawkins Pkwy, just west of the Galleria and Patton Creek Shopping Center. This restaurant has opened within the past year in the former Up the Creek location. (We had never eaten there either.)
The atmosphere is part sports bar and part restaurant. The bar looked huge and had a good following. Jay had a Naked Pig IPA brewed just northeast of here in Gadsden. Alabama has some great microbrews.
For dinner, Gina had the small pulled pork sandwich (It was plenty big - on a regular sized Sesame Seed sandwich roll/bun) with fries. Jay got the half rack of short ribs. The half rack was HUGE and was more than enough for a meal. To go with the ribs, he selected the spicy mac n cheese and onion rings. All of our food was great! The ribs and pork came with their house BBQ red sauce. On the tables, there were additional bottles of that sauce, along with a vinegar based sauce and a spicy sauce. Ultimately, we liked the spicy sauce the best.
We are regulars at Jim n Nicks and enjoy Brother Zeke's BBQ via their drive thru but can foresee choosing Southern Legacy next time we are in the mood for great BBQ.
Returned again tonight! I had the blackened catfish. The best I've ever had!
