BBQ at New Zion Missionary Baptist Church, Huntsville

I recently found your website and thoroughly enjoyed browsing it. However, there is one glaring omission in the BBQ restaurant section that is an absolute must for any Texan who has never visited (if that's possible). I have lived in Huntsville since 1972 and I am still amazed that whenever I mention where I reside, their first reaction is typically, "that's where the church bbq place is isn't it?" This despite the fact that you would think that they would mention the prison system.

The church reference I mention is the New Zion Missionary Baptist Church. This church, years ago, built a huge pit in front of the church to cook and sell barbecue as a fundraiser to build a new church. It was such a successful venture that they not only built their church, but they continue their cooking still today. You can order any kind of barbecue with all the fixin's in a family style atmosphere with all the sweet tea you can drink. I highly recommend it. Just ask anyone in Huntsville and they'll steer you there. They are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.
