Description

You can't say it better than the folks from this chain barbecue restaurant did on their company web site in telling their own history of the place:

"Dreamland is eminently known for bar-b-que ribs. The original Dreamland Café is located about two miles from the intersection of Hwy 82 and Interstate 59 just south of Tuscaloosa in an area known as Jerusalem Heights. In the years since Mr. John "Big Daddy" Bishop first opened his store, little has changed.

"The roads have been paved much the same as they were back in 1958. The décor inside is warm and dark. The dining room is small with a big bar, a few tables, booths, and a pot bellied stove. Beer signs hang from the oak beams and Christmas lights hang from the walls all year 'round. It isn't fancy, but then again the ribs are the main attractions anyway.

"The atmosphere is casual-down home. You may rub elbows with somebody famous while you sit at the bar; and people come from all over to enjoy the ribs. The point is that it doesn't matter who you are, at Dreamland everybody is special and everybody is there for the same reason-the rib. The legendary ribs, service and atmosphere are also available in our Birmingham, Mobile and Atlanta locations. In addition to the legendary ribs and sauce, the menu has been expanded to include such items as: baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, pork sandwiches and bar-b-que chicken."
