    Desert selection
    Agustin S.

    Doesn't look like much but head on inside and give them a try. Beef brisket had a good smoked flavor. Coleslaw wasn't bad but a bit much on the black pepper. Mushrooms were great, very delicious. Fun atmosphere of different signs and phrases. Overall a good experience with friendly staff that worked on the common good of filling our bellies.

    Regular BBq Pork sandwich, fried green tomatoes and onion rings.

    The staff was pleasant and friendly. They were patient as I ordered my lunch. I had the bbq pulled pork sandwich with onion rings and fried green tomatoes. They brought out their bbq sauces and let me know what they were. My food came out fairly quick the sandwich was fine, I used the hot bbq sauce on it. The fried green tomatoes were the low spot on the plate; two were thinner and cooked fine the 3rd was thicker and the batter on the inside was still raw. The absolute star of the plate was the ONION RINGS!!! They were hand battered, not from a bag, and amazing! I could have eaten a whole basket of them! And the sauce for them was good too; not too much horseradish but very flavorful. The building was open and clean. I would eat here again.

    Headed South on a road trip and decided to stop at Bishop's BBQ. We pulled into the crowded parking lot and walked in, small line waiting to order at the counter, small lunch crowd. We ordered and grabbed a table, the food came out pretty quickly, looked great and tasted better! I had the pulled pork sandwich and fries, which was amazing! We also ordered the banana pudding, holy crap!!!!So good!! Try it!!! Prices were great, they do take cards but charge 4% to use a card, cash is best! Everyone is super friendly and pretty busy with lots of carry out orders going out in addition to the diners. If you are going through Tupelo, MS check it out!!

    Extremely friendly service and the place appears to be extremely popular with a full parking lot and a steady flow of customers, especially considering I was here on a Monday evening at about 7:00, certainly not a prime time for dining out. Unfortunately, at least for me, the food was mediocre. I had the pork tenderloin with fried green tomatoes and coleslaw and while the price was right (that and a drink ran me a penny over eleven dollars), I found the food uninspired and the portions a bit small. They had a salad bar in the middle of the restaurant, but that looked like an afterthought, something to offer someone looking for a more health conscious option. There are three locations and the prior mentioned flow of customers says that it would seem that a lot of people would not agree with my review. In fact, as I was walking out a group walked in talking excitedly about this place.

    The full sampler. More than two of us could finish.

    I was in town (with my best friend John) judging a BBQ competition and, as is my habit, asked some of the locals who had the best Q in town. Several places came up repeatedly, among them, Bishops. They have multiple locations, but this review obviously only covers this location. Since we didn't have any history here a sampler platter was ordered. Ribs, pulled pork, brisket, and chicken as meats, and fried green tomatoes, fried okra, cole slaw, and purple peas as sides. The ribs were the best of the lot. Tasty, moist, good pull. Really no downside to them. I'd order them again with a very clear conscience. The chicken was also very most and favorful. Worth getting. Only issue was it was served cold. Would have been a little better if warmed up some. The brisket was both good news and bad. We had 5 slices. Two were tough and dry (may have been sitting out of the juices a while), but the others were delish - good texture, moisture, and taste. If you get this meat take a look before accepting it. Worst was the pulled pork. Had a decent pork taste but it was dry and totally devoid of fat, which is where a lot of the flavor and moisture comes from. Can't recommend this at all. The three sauces were OK. They are so personal you will really need to judge them for yourself. Only one sentence on the sides. All were GREAT. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Spent some time at our table and chatted with us. Almost forgot. Had the homemade banana pudding for dessert. Maybe the best ever. Regardless of what else you get, leave room for this!

    Excellent pulled pork. Try the sweet sauce. Yummy! And they had room for us to park while hauling our camper.

    Not super impressed with the brisket but the pulled pork was good. The staff here is very friendly and the restaurant is very clean.

    Guess I caught them on a bad day. My ribs were so tough that you couldn't eat them. And it was all cold.

    Wonderful southern BBQ. The sandwiches were piled high with pork. We will definitely stop again when we travel this way.

    Bring your heart monitor. The food is all of a fair to good quality and there's tons of variety,…read moreif you like fried things. They have their own quirks (pay first, refill drinks by putting a sign on the table, warehouse setting/decor), but service is excellent and friendly and only there when you ask for it. Restaurant serves a lot (hundreds) of people, so the lines can be long - but I've never had that long of a wait. If you can manage to go around 4:30-5:00, you have a better experience. A great place to eat yourself into a stupor. :)

    I hate to leave bad reviews but so many things about this place are going downhill. The food is…read morestill good but the bar needs better attendance. People dropping food into other food dishes, things dropped on the floor and left? Then on more than one occasion, every table was dirty and we had to go find a waitress to clean one off for us. The poor waitresses that do show up are severely overworked! We brought out of town guests with us tonight and it was honestly embarrassing! This USED to be a great place and one of our favorites but there is no way I would recommend it the way it is now, which is sad. Its like the owners have lost interest in it. They used to come around checking with everyone. Now you never see them. Before Covid, there was two bars running and lines out the door. Never has regained its former glory. I hate to see it go down because its the only place I ever liked to eat catfish. Please do better!
