Dreamland started in 1958 in the Jerusalem Heights neighborhood of Tuscaloosa and now has branches across the South. The original is the one worth the stop for slabs of ribs and white bread. It is a short detour from Interstate 20/59 and fits a Crimson Tide game-day weekend.

Good to know

  • Original is on 15th Avenue East, not downtown
  • Ribs are the signature order
  • Expect crowds on game days
