  This place was great!  Pork BBQ plate was perfection and either sauce is the way to go.  A little oasis off of I-20.

  Had to have some Alabama BBQ while here.
  
  The Pork plate was very good.  The sides were OK but not wonderful.  The pork had just the right amount of smoke but could have been more moist.  The plates came with a huge piece of TX Toast with some kind of buttery spread all over it.  This was not necessary.  
  
  I would eat here again but I would try something different. Not because what I had was bad but just to try something different.
  
  Would go back.

  It's always great to find a quality meal off of the interstate. Marie's is one of those mark-it-on-the-map (or GPS) places, off of I-20 (exit 199) between Atlanta and Birmingham. The pork BBQ is excellent and very smoky, with a nice tangy sauce drizzled on the top of the plate. Fried green tomatoes are cooked slightly dark brown, more like what you'd expect in your aunt's kitchen than in a restaurant (and I say that as the highest of compliments). Fried okra are obviously fresh and not frozen. Really, the only thing that didn't seem fresh was the fries, which are your standard crinkle cut. And definitely try the Brunswick stew -- it is among the best I've ever tasted, sweet and savory. Quick service, great food, friendly folks, great bang for your buck. This sure beats the mess out of eating chain food on the road.

  Exit 199 on I-20.  You must stop here.  Great BBQ.

  Great BBQ, took it to go. Had the pork sandwich with some slaw. Enjoyed the sweet BBQ sauce as well. If your passing by, It's right off the 20. Stop in, you won't regret it.Reasonable prices too.

  What a delicious start to a road trip back to California. The attendant at the Alabama welcome center pointed us this way. You wouldn't find it just driving along the I-20.
  
  My husband had the bbq pork sandwich and I had the bbq chicken sandwich. Both were smoky and flavorful on their own but we had to have their bbq sauce on them. Yum! Definitely good!  BBQ sauce is a "must-buy"!

  A great little place to eat less than 1 mile off of I-20 at the 199 exit. They have really good BBQ, My favorite is the prime rib sandwich with their vinegar based dipping sauce. I would say it is a must try!

  Great food for a good price.  Try the brunswick stew.  And for the health conscious, the smoked/pit chicken is out of this world.

  If you are traveling from South Carolina to Mississippi like I was today, you need to wait for food until just across the GA/AL border on I-20 W and pull into Heflin.  Take a right at the exit and then head down the street until you see you the glorious sign of Marie's BBQ House on your left.  AND - for all you truckers out there (like me), there is room in the back for trucks.  
  
  I have to say, this restaurant is the reason why I love the south and their food.  I got their BBQ Pork Sandwich and it was so good......I think it was smoked and man was it great.  Adding the sauce from the table made it ten times better!
  
  Not only was the sandwich great, but the Sweet Tea was amazingly good too.  
  
  SUPPORT LOCAL BUSINESS!  FAST FOOD IS FOR SUCKERS!
