Restaurant Manager

Dreamland BBQ
Birmingham, AL Full Time
POSTED ON 1/13/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 3/12/2026

It all started with a Dream…
… and it was in that dream that God visited John “Big Daddy” Bishop and told him to open a restaurant. Mr. Bishop obliged and opened the original Dreamland in Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 1958. In the early years, the restaurant sold everything from burgers to postage stamps. It was their hickory-fired ribs, however, that quickly became the local favorite.
