Miss Myra's Pit Bar-B-Q

Featured in Best BBQ in Birmingham · 3278 Cahaba Heights Rd, Birmingham, AL 35243

Family-run since 1984, Miss Myra's smokes everything in a brick pit over hickory, and the chicken with white sauce is the move. The Takeout named it one of the best barbecue chickens in the country in 2026. Don't leave without a slice of pie.

Martin's Bar-B-Que Joint

Featured in Best BBQ in Birmingham · 3029 Pump House Rd, Vestavia Hills, AL 35243

When this Nashville-born joint opened in 2018, it brought whole hog barbecue to town in a big way. The West Tennessee-style whole hog is the draw, and the smoked wings and brisket hold their own. Catch live music every second and fourth Friday.
