    I've eaten here many times with my family, and it's always delicious! It gets quite crowded at times, especially on Sundays after church, but it's well worth the wait. Their homemade BBQ onion dip and chips appetizer is off the chain! We get it every time we go here.

    The first time I ever ate at a Dreamland BBQ was in Alpharetta, GA, and it was great, too! That's what made me want to come to this one when I moved to Montgomery. I was NOT disappointed.

    I got some food to go and it was ok.

    The service was friendly but not particularly quick.

    The food was serviceable but nothing special. The ribs were tender and moderately well seasoned but could have been juicier. The same was true for the pulled pork. The sides (macaroni and cheese and potato salad) were neither terrible nor terrific. The portion sizes for the sides were alarmingly small but since they weren't especially tasty I wasn't too terribly upset.

    Despite the stingy sides, the cost was definitely reasonable. All in all, I'd give this spot another chance.

    This was a real treat in downtown Montgomery. I was directed to Dreamland from some locals when I inquired where the locals dine. Close to The Montgomery Biscuits Stadium and downtown area.
    They have their own craft beer which was pretty good.
    It went well with my BBQ sandwich. The bbq base is a vinegar based and had a great flavor . Reasonably priced and generous on the meat. I had never had dill pickles on BBQ pulled pork before but will add it from now on! Yummy!

    Great location and friendly staff.  It's next to the ballpark near the river.  The service was prompt and attentive to my needs.  I ordered the ribs.  Great flavor and the meat was moist.  Each rib leaves you wanting another rib.  The sides are average.  Great place to watch a game.  Definitely can accommodate large groups.  Worth eating here if you are in the area.

    Its bbq  James, just not as we know it.

    Montgomery Alabama style bbq, Dreamland is a small regional chain.

    They're brewing beer as well, some crafty types, not our thing.
    We were taking a break from FRIED, so bbq meat was fine.

    Sauce of the vinegary variety.
    Dip as u munch away.

    Sides are weaker than the meat, nothing to write home about, but decent quality.
    We tried baked beans / side salad, avoided cheesy stuff with a bit of effort .

    Portions ok, not HUGE, not too small, overall a 3 1/2 $tar experience rounded up.

    Ribs were best of the 3 'meats' we sampled, chicken wing / breast next &  least of all the beef rib tip, not poor, not inspirational either. Lacked that nice charred rib end taste, these were lame, soft, meh.

    Better than most chains all things considered.
    Not a destination restaurant, but handy location near the baseball ground and museum district on Jefferson St.
    Super helpful and friendly staff.
    Parking easy peasy on a meter after hours = no pay.
    Comfortable spacious earns a qualified recommendation with 3 1/2 rounded up to 4 on the yelpmeter
