Dreamland Bar-B-Que is a barbecue restaurant chain based in Alabama. It was founded by "Big Daddy" John Bishop in the Jerusalem Heights neighborhood of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, in 1958, but has since franchised, opening Alabama restaurants in Birmingham, Montgomery, Huntsville, Mobile, and Northport. It has also opened two restaurants in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan area, in Roswell and Peachtree Corners. In May of 2016, Dreamland Bar-B-Que opened up its first Florida location at the Tallahassee Centre in Tallahassee, FL.
The menu differs among locations. At the original location in Tuscaloosa, the menu consists of only ribs, rib sandwiches, and white bread. Other locations also serve pulled pork, barbecue chicken, smoked sausage, baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad, house salads, and banana pudding. Dreamland is known for its ribs and barbecue sauce.[1]
