Right away the service was top notch. Our server Kyndel was amazing, I loved her friendly vibe and she did great taking care of our table. It was also a nice touch to have a conversation with the owner, and hearing about his future plans for the restaurant. Speaking about the restaurant, it's very spacious and there are plenty of good seats to watch the big screen tv. There's even a bar if you choose to dine there. 2 meat combo- Ribs were tender and seasoned really good. Came with choice (2) of sides. I chosed the potato salad and corn, both were decent. read more

Boondocks - Barbeque Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

We were visiting from KY and came across this business. Service was amazing. The owner was there and he actually sat us and came to the table a few times. You would never know he was the owner. Plenty of parking in a lot. No problems at all. Now to the food. It all was soooooo good. The ribs were so tender and almost fell off the bone. Bbq sauce was really good as well. Mac n cheese was the cheesiest Mac n cheese I have ever had. Very good. I had elote as well. It was good but I will say I have had better. The person I was with got the loaded potato salad and oh my was it delicious. If you don't like mayo, this is not the salad for you. It was definitely mayo based and no mustard. If you are in town, this is a must have. If I'm back, this will be a stop I will go to again. read more

If you're looking for fall off the bones brisket, Boondocks is the place. The brisket was delicious and super moist. Our waiter was kind and allowed us to try various things on the menu before we ordered our food. The environment was to our typical barbecue place;however, the owner came out and personally greeted us. Mississippi was the last placed on our family vacation from Louisville, KY. I'm happy Boondocks was apart of the visit. read more

Not great, but not horrible either. The brisket was too dry for my liking. Potato salad and beans were average. The worst part of the whole experience was the R&B music. Every song was about a horny guy wanting to have sex. And to make it worst, some dude that worked their was signing along to it. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. read more

Boondocks - Brisket and pulled pork plate - Barbeque Near Me - Jackson, Mississippi

Bbq is a staple on the south! Boondocks is the latest entry in the local bbq arena and it's a refreshing place to eat. Most of the bbq places in Jackson are pickup only, with most of them being either in a gas station or at a food truck. That is one thing I appreciate about Boondocks....it's a sit-down option to enjoy some bbq. Inside is nice. I had dined at the previous restaurant, which was a casual spot with some good food. Not much has changed in the dinning room, which is fine to me. Service is good as well. My friend and I both ordered the 2-meat plate, each getting the ribs and brisket. She opted for the elote corn and Mac & cheese, while I got the cheesy baked potato casserole and coleslaw. I enjoyed the brisket. It was very tender. Could have used just a hint more of seasoning but it was worth the price. Ribs were ok. Very meaty but lacking the wow factor I get from some other spots. Coleslaw was very good. It was a great selection for me to pick this but the cheesy baked potato casserole was not good at all. Owner came out of the kitchen every so often to greet customers. That was a plus. My friend said her elote corn was cold and she wanted to send it back for regular corn on the cob. He took it back and replaced it with a very hot piece that she enjoyed. Overall, I would go back just to get the brisket. read more

Food and service were phenomenal. I was in town for work and stopped by around lunch time to kill some time. Waitress was very helpful with the menu. I'm not a big sandwich guy much less pulled pork but I went out on a limb and man was I glad I did. The best bbq sandwich I have ever had. Great food along with a tea and the price was less than $22. Met the owner also and a real squared away guy who was helping his people. read more

They have the best most tender ribs I've ever had. Barbecue is one of my least favorite categories of food usually because the meat is too tough. I just typically don't enjoy it. The best ribs I've ever eaten anywhere. Green beans had flavor, great cobbler, really nice environment and kind people. I'm visiting my daughter here in Jackson and I from KC, Kansas, so I've had a lot of barbecue options. This is the Best! read more

Really good food i enjoyed I had a birra torta sandwich. And some banana pudding.i would recommend anyone to go

Great food. Great service. Great portion. It was a great atmosphere, you could smell the good barbecue from the parking lot.

This was a great place to eat. The ribs and brisket were amazing. The service and atmosphere are also great! Will definitely be back!

I'm so glad to have this addition to the Belhaven neighborhood. I've already been twice, and I fully plan to keep coming back. Everything I've tried has been solid. The wings are well-executed with plenty of sauce options, and the burger is classic -- no notes. Where this place really shines, though, is the sides. These are true Southern BBQ joint sides done right. The mac and cheese is easily a 10/10, with a crunchy crust on top that seals the deal, and the fried okra tastes fresh and skillet-fried rather than greasy. I also had the fried catfish, which was fried to perfection -- fresh fish, well-seasoned, and not oily at all. One thing I really appreciate is the vegetarian option: saucy tofu bites. Not many BBQ spots in the South offer real meatless options, and this one actually delivers. Being able to toss the tofu in any of the wing sauces makes it feel intentional, not like an afterthought. The space itself works well in the old Lou's Restaurant building, and service has been quick and friendly both times I've visited. The owner has been present and has made a point to walk around, talk to customers, and invite feedback, which says a lot this early on. There's also a decent-sized bar area, though for now it's beer only -- I'd love to see them expand the bar menu and maybe add a happy hour down the line. Overall, this place is definitely worth a visit, and I'm excited to see how it continues to grow. read more

This was straight up nasty those baked beans had nothing good for itself and those wings were dry and no seasoning. And the brisket does not stand out without barbecue sauce 1/10 would not recommend. read more

Top tier everything was scrumptious I had the brisket plate and I tell you I was highly satisfied. It was so juicy and tender.

If you live or are visiting Jackson, support this place! I'm a native Texan, but grew up on the MS Coast, so I know BBQ and good food. I am also a pitmaster. This is probably some of the best BBQ I've ever put in my mouth. The brisket was crazy moist and had a great bark. The ribs had a great rub, super tender, with a perfect pull. Side salad and fried okra were equally as good. I only intended to eat 2 of the churros but before I knew it I ate them all. They also have a great beer selection and a full bar. The portions were more than adequate. I'm a big boy and couldn't eat it all. In fact, I over stuffed myself so I didn't give the impression that I didn't like anything. My server, Grace, was personable and attentive. The owner stopped by the table 2 or 3 times to make sure everything was good. Great ambiance as well. I travel to Jackson for work often and this will be a stop on every trip. read more

Service was great. I wish they used silverware/plates when dining in. Wings were dry and fries and onion rings tasted like they were fried in old oil. read more

Dropped by for lunch and our meal was amazing, all the food was very flavorful and service staff extremely friendly and helpful with suggestions from their wonderful menu. I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone and encourage other Belhaven neighbors to experience this newly added restaurant in our neighborhood. Will make this a regular haunt for us. read more

The best burger I've had in the Jackson area. The ribs and sausage are amazing as well.

been twice now. once for dine-in, once take out. food was great both times - got the Death by Pig sandwich + a half rack of ribs, and today got the catfish to-go. The mac and cheese is a little spicy and has a nice crunchy parmesan crust. The fish was thin and crispy even after a 10 minute car ride back to work. Ribs are great, lots of sauces to try (try the buttermilk barbecue!), sandwiches are huge. Atmosphere is great (RIP Lou's), staff is friendly and professional, and the owner(s) are walking around checking on things. All in all, 10 out of 10, would def recommend! read more

I decided to try something different today for lunch. It was a Thursday and it wasn't very busy. The atmosphere was very welcoming. There were multiple TV's around with sports on. Some company was there eating a luncheon. It seems like a good place to just grab a bite. There is a hostess at the door, and you have the option to sit at booth or table. I was seated a booth by the hostess. My waitress Brenee was super sweet. The entire staff repeatedly asked me did I need anything and was very courteous. I decided to try the brisket and ribs. Those are my definite go to item at a BBQ restaurant. The menu may seem little pricey however, I had enough food for two meals and when it comes to smoking BBQ I fully understand the cost. I had okra, baked beans, and Mac & cheese as side items with a Hawaiian roll. Then they had a variety of about 5 BBQ sauces to choose from. I went with the sweet sauce and a buttermilk bbq sauce (it was really good). The ribs were very tender, had a nice smoke profile, and seasoned just right. The bark on the brisket was perfect I got it sliced and it was a good cut of lean and fat. The okra was fried just right, it was lightly dusted. The baked beans were seasoned well with ground beef. The macaroni & cheese was different for me, it was a beer flavored cheese. The owner Cody stopped by and ask how was everything and that makes a huge difference to me when people still care about their customers. They do everything to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. I will definitely return to try other items. read more

This is a very nice place for anytime of day. The atmosphere was great the food was great and the owner and staff were so nice and welcoming. I had the birrea tacos and fried tofu and they were both DELICIOUS! I definitely recommend! It's in a great location especially for our medical personnel. read more

Amazing food all over the menu! The service was way above the standard. As close to a Michelin restaurant as you can get! Perfect ambience for a family dinner or catching up with friends! read more

Disappointing. There was a puddle of grease on, in, and under both burgers. The fries, which we inexplicably had to pay separate for, were definitely from a frozen bag, unseasoned, and undercooked by a mile. The burgers had decent flavor, but were impossible to eat without a mountain of napkins. The mild BBQ sauce was so thin it might as well have been flavored vinegar. Maybe other plates are better, but the amount of food we were actually able to eat was not worth the money spent. read more
