Allman's BBQ

I had not been to this old Americana family style restaurant in about a decade, but was pleasantly surprised that basically nothing had changed. The traditional southern cooking was evident in my mac and cheese and collard greens! And the pulled pork sandwich was absolutely delicious. Allman's continues to get it right when it comes to American barbecue. If you are visiting Fredricksburg, or even just passing by on I-95, it's definitely worth the stop (just 3 or 4 minutes from the exit ramp). Our waitress was very friendly and attentive, and the prices are appealing especially for the quantity you receive.

Formerly I gave this place a 5 star review. I always go with my son. We've only come during the day till tonight. I had a minced BBQ pork platter. The pork was as dry as moist packed beef jerky. It had clearly been prepared in advance and was allowed to dry out. The only way I could get it down was to flood it with BBQ sauce. The fries were overcooked dry and hard. My son was hungry so he crunched through them. The Cole slaw was swimming in mayo and for some strange reason topped with an unusually large amount of paprika. The only reason I gave this place 3 stars is I know what it can be. If my first meal was like tonight's I would have never come back.

Simply great BBQ. Low energy environment, but very courteous staff. Please try the mac n cheese! Oddly enough... the ice cream was phenomenal as well!! Let's eat!
