    Ribs with okra and onion rings
    Kurtis S.

    Came in around 5:30 on a Tuesday night. Half the restaurant was blocked off but there was plenty of available seating. The restaurant was clean and dirty tables were being cleaned in a timely manner. We order the ribs for two with sides of okra and onion rings. We thought the onion rings and okra were very good. We really liked the ribs but a few were overcooked and dry. So if we didn't have the few dry ribs, I would have given the place 5 stars. Not sure about the other menu items. Worth a try

    Ribs for two order with onion rings, fried okra & Texas toast

    Stayed for a few days in Corinth, MS & found this little gem the first night! Quite a few people on a Tuesday night (good sign). We grabbed a table and were greeted a few minutes later. We ordered iced tea (sweet) & a coke. The sweet tea was perfect...not too sweet!! Both of us wanted the ribs and we ordered the rib plate for two. We each got our pick of two sides & we both picked fried okra & onion rings. Our order came quickly and the ribs were fall off the bone delicious!!! I love dry rubbed ribs and these were soooo good! There were 3 sauces available, which I used to dip my onion rings. Yum!!! Fried okra was fried just right and so were the onion rings! Great bbq and very casual atmosphere (perfect for us on a 3 day getaway).

    Combo plate: ribs, brisket, beans, and potatoe salad

    Dang, this place is really good. I've eaten here twice in three days and have no complaints at all!!! I'd definitely recommend it to anyone....the ribs are a must have for sure!! The service is really fast and the restaurant is very cool!

    Visited here for the first time and I'd definitely go back. Hometown atmosphere. When you walk in, go straight to the ordering counter. The cashier was very friendly. By the time we got our drinks and made to the table, our food was already on it's way. They call your order number, but just raise your hand because they'll bring the food to your table. I had the half smoked chicken with okra and baked beans. It was all very good. The chicken was moist, flavorful and fell off the bone. Okra was crispy. Baked beans were tasty, but their temperature was lukewarm. Just needed to be heated up a little bit. My friend ordered the dry ribs... the only way the ribs come here. She added the bbq sauce and said they were good. Looked like the meat also fell off the bone. I'd highly recommend coming here.

    Brisket, ribs & okra
    Lynn B.

    Traveling through town felt the need for some BBQ. If you ever read my reviews, you know I'm always on the lookout for great BBQ. I consider myself a BBQ enthusiast. I'm also a KCBS certified BBQ Judge, amateur cook. I checked Yelp, on the reviews were fantastic, so I was ready. I ordered brisket, ribs (seriously, it's a rib shack) & a pork sandwich (to go). When I asked for brisket, I requested the point or the fatty portion. The waitress said the brisket was already sliced. I thought, oh boy, that's a bad sign. Well, it was a sign of what was to come. The brisket was tender but tasteless. It looked liked it had been under a heat lamp. I ended up leaving most of it. The ribs were overcooked. They also seemed like they had been under a heat lamp too long. However, they weren't rubbery. The taste was actually ok. The okra is the standard store-bought orka. The pork sandwich I had the following day was also fine. No complaints, but it was also a day old, so I'm not going to knock it in any way. The waitress did a great job. I didn't catch her name, but she did a great a job. All in all, it was ok. The food did not reflect the reviews I read. Again, it was ok but lacking.

    My husband and I are in the area for business and found this place because of the reviews, here, on…read moreYelp. We had the brisket loaded fries, stuffed oven roasted chicken, green beans, side salad, and hushpuppies. They were ALL phenomenal and the chicken was the most tender chicken either of us have ever had! Our server (I've forgotten her name....Mariah?) was very attentive and sweet. The atmosphere was a bit elevated without being stuffy.....a great downtown vibe. We've already decided, if we are back in the area, this place is a MUST!!

    As an international traveling service and food industry critic while unbeknownst to the owner nor…read morestaff, the following is what I experienced: + Comfortable atmosphere. + Salmon Salad was selected by three within our group, which each enjoyed and were not fishy tasting. +/- Salad Bar was clean and ample, but no Blue Cheese. +/- Catfish was okay, but not the finest encountered. - Our Server (Madison H) was terrible! She acted like this was her first day on the job (of any job) and not proactive. When asked for a Bloody Mary she failed to offer any options as published; "pick a spirit then mix and match signature mixes and toppings". When quizzed in depth about the menu, she was clueless. She mixed up our plates because she did not make note of who ordered what. Very slow to present the checks even with the restaurant @~25% capacity. - Seafood Gumbo's flavor was so bad, I could not eat more than one bite. - Meatloaf quality was the worst I've ever experienced. - Twice Baked Potato was very dry and baked far too long. - - - When presented with the check, Madison H failed to clarify that a tip @20% was already included due to our group size of six or more, which was tucked within the tax lines. This was overlooked and she received 30% more than she earned and deserved. - - - The Owner's procedure of have the waitstaff use a handheld credit card machine is fine, if they train the waiters to actually walk away after presenting the check, allowing the customer to review the details of the check and not be rushed. Madison H just presented to check and stood over the table, impatiently waiting to jam the machine into customers face. - - - The Owner also has the gall to charge an extra 3% for using a credit card! Be for real, this is part of doing business, price it in your pricing. Talk about nickel & dime'ing, WOW!!! STEER CLEAR!!! You have so many other greater options, even if you need to drive more.

The restaurant was beautiful. Low lighting warm atmosphere and brick walls. We're seated up stairs near a beautiful bar. Apparently they hold many events up stairs.

I ordered the Caesar salad and my husband ordered the house salad both delicious and fresh. For the main course I ordered Tuscan chicken in a cream spinach sauce with bow tie pasta.

The two very friendly hostesses said a class reunion was upstairs in the dinning section, but we could sit at the bar and come down for dinner without a need for a reservation. We sat at the bar for a drink, it was freezing, but probably because of the number of people for the reunion and the AC had to be set low. The bar tender was very busy, but sweet and attentive to us. She made us great cockatiels, with some wait, but totally understandable due to the large party for the reunion. We finished our drinks and moved down stairs for our meal. We placed an order for two appetizers to share ( I do think they are a bit pricey here). We had average table service, mostly because of the attitude of our server, not very attentive and felt like we were the bothering her. The food was excellent. Then restaurant was clean. I did visit the ladies room and the toilet seat was broken ( not knowing until I tried to stand back up and the lid fell on my back and the seat practically slipped off the toilet bowl. ) :0

The barbecue nachos are flour, tortilla chips and not corn. They were over fried and the chunks of barbecue were too big to fit on the chip. This was some of the worst barbecue I've had in a long time and maybe ever. There was zero Char on the ribs. They tasted almost like they had been steamed or something. They were wet but not sauce, just with what seems like steam. The dry rub seasoning was basically just wet goo. Regardless, the fact that half of them were probably around 48° makes it impossible to enjoy them. I still don't understand how this is possible. The atmosphere is fine, though it's a tiny restaurant. The service is uneventful. There were only two tables, including ours that had customer at it. Our server was sitting in the corner with her boyfriend the whole time hanging out with him and she would just get up occasionally and check on us. She had no personality. There's a 0% chance I would ever give this restaurant another chance. Horrible. Absolutely horrible. It's completely obvious that there is zero supervision or management this restaurant.
