BBQ restaurants across our state have received their fair share of recognition from a variety of national publications.

Most recently, it was Full Moon Bar-B-Que that was listed among the most legendary BBQ restaurants in America by MSN. The digital outlet looked to highlight the top spots across the United States.

Full Moon operates one location in Huntsville, at 1009 N Memorial Pkwy.

“From Alabama’s hickory-smoked ribs to California’s tri-tip and Hawaii’s ocean-view brisket, these barbecue destinations showcase regional flavors and traditions. The featured restaurants range from century-old family-run diners to nationally acclaimed newcomers, each known for signature meats and time-honored smoking techniques. Together, they highlight the diversity and enduring appeal of American barbecue culture.”
