Leo & Susie's Famous Green Top BBQ
There is a reason that the Green Top has been around since Truman was in the White House and that's because it's some of the best Bar-B-Que on the planet. Leo & Susie's Famous Green Top Bar-B-Que is an icon in Alabama.
The folks here at the Green Top have shipped Bar-B-Que to Europe, the Middle East, and all over the U.S. The reason that people clamor for Green Top Bar-B-Que is because it's good!
The menu has a little something for everyone. We have Bar-B-Que pork sandwiches, Bar-B-Que plates, Bar-B-Que potato's and Bar-B-Que salads that'll make you want to slap your mama...well, maybe that's a stretch, but the food is REALLY GOOD!
If Bar-B-Que pork is not your thang. We have chef salads, regular tossed salads, hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chopped chicken sandwiches. We have home fries that'll send you on a trip down memory lane.
Leo & Susie's Green Top also does catering so be sure to visit our catering page to see how you can be the hit of the party season and not have to break the bank.
Leo & Susie's Famous Green Top is family friendly so the next time you have a cravin' for something really good, come by the Green Top. We'll keep the hickory fire burning for you.
Open since Truman was in the White House.
Great story about the Green Top from the Southern Foodways Alliance's Southern BBQ Trail.
What folks drive out for
Chopped hickory-smoked pork on a bun, on a plate with grilled bread, piled on a baked potato or on top of a salad. Every one of them comes out of the same pit.

A roadhouse on the new Highway 78
- 1951
Kenneth and Alton Cook build the Green Top, a simple concrete-block building on what was then "the new highway 78".
- Late 1950s
Edith Carey buys the Green Top and business continues to boom.
- 1973
On September 22, Leo and Susie Headrick take over. They do more than survive that first year; they excel.
- Today
Still slow cooking over real hickory coals, in Dora and in Jasper.
Cooked the slow way
"Some places blow a little wood smoke across the meat and call it day," says Richard Headrick. "But here at the Green Top, we slow cook our meat over real hickory coals so that the meat is tender."
Feeding a crowd?
The Green Top has catered parties as big as 2000 people, so no job is too big or too small.
