The best brisket in the area I've had so far is at Swamp Shack BBQ a short distance away in Ellisville, MS. They seem to often be out of things here and then they have "specials" that they are also often out of which seems to indicate they are very busy usually. This place is definitely VERY popular in the area and it tends to be VERY crowded. They sometimes serve you really huge portions and other times smaller portions. I'm a big fan of Texas style BBQ which the brisket here doesn't seem to resemble the brisket I've had in Texas. Overall it is the best BBQ in Laurel, MS and they do have a cool space which is decorated with all sorts of bling bling inside.

Of course, there is room inside, so I squeezed into a parking spot among all the other cars and squeezed my way into a packed little room. Sound charming? Well, when you are looking for authentic local food, that kind of business at 5 PM on a weekday means that you have found a gem. MS Fried Chicken is exactly what the name states, and they do it great here. I ordered a meal of four pieces (customized: 2 breasts, 2 thighs, they have no problem with mixed orders), sides of okra and beans, an extra side of corn fritters. So the ambiance is crowded and tiny, as I mentioned, and you can see the kitchen pretty well as well as everyone running back and forth. Service was great. Really great. OK, incredible. They were flying through the drive-thrus and the in-persons and the phone calls one by one by one so that I didn't even have to wait 10 minutes before my food was ready. I have no clue how they manage to pull this off day after day, AND at the same time do everything with a smile, explain things patiently, get your order right... my young cashier and server Bella informed me there are free beverage refills between supplying the kitchen and cleaning tables... all the big and little things done right here. As far as the food: You will be fed. Come hungry, leave happy. The chicken parts are huge and flavored amazingly. Perfect crust, perfect doneness. The beans are juicy and meaty and so tasty, I could have had that as two sides. But I haven't had okra yet down here. So let me warn you: the okra side comes with at least six entire okras sliced and fried. I could not finish them all. It was too much fryness. But wow was that more than I've ever seen. The beans were a nice size side, the okra was gigantic. My third extra side? The corn nuggets? Get the large of that with 20 nuggets. Heck, get 100 nuggets and make that the meal for your family. They have corn kernels and cheese inside, light breading outside, come out hot and soft and gooey and sweet. Unbelievable. So so so glad I picked this place for dinner. Get off the highway and make your way into Waynesboro for this place. Don't worry about the line - you will get fed promptly and you will love every morsel.

I'd give them 3.5 stars if I could…read more We came in TH evening, 9/3/26. I ordered the taster boat, a smoked meat sampler w/ sliced chix breast (sort of dry), brisket (nice smoke bark but lacked seasoning and that good smoke flavor, was juicy but maybe it sat in au jus or beef broth, which took away the smokiness from the meat? ), rib piece (flat part of the rib, overly seasoned; my husband ordered the 3 meat combo and said his actual rib wasn't overly seasoned so maybe it was just the flat piece I received), smoked sausage, & pulled pork. I ordered the green beans & red skinned potato salad, reminded me of Publix's with some added mustard, to make a smaller meal as I wasn't that hungry. This filled me up and I packed up the pulled pork to go. It wasn't not dried out like some pulled pork can be. It gave the full flavor of pulled pork. I ordered an old fashioned, cause why not? It seemed like a better choice to go with barbecue than the Arnold Palmer I wanted to order with all the sugar. ‍ It was smoked and the bartender, Josie, also our server, allowed me to remove the top when I felt the drink had enough smoke, which I appreciated. As an old fashioned snob I'd recommend getting true craft ice & not using maraschino cherries. BUT the price point for everything, even the drinks is considerably lower than we'd expect; but we're used to Atlanta & TX prices for barbecue. ‍ No, seriously, the prices are low; no complaints there. AND they offer military discount. Oh and you get a discount if you pay with cash. His 3 meat combo included the ribs, brisket, & smoked sausage. He wanted chicken but they only had white meat. His brisket rivals barbecue restaurants. He was open to giving them another try. He said he really wanted to taste the smoke flavor, not just smell it from the pit outside. We ordered the same sides. They brought out white bread, usually by request and also some butter. That was a 1st for me. The bread wasn't the softest but it was probably on the line or near it exposed to heat, which dried it out In guessing?. I ordered the praline pecan pie. It was very tasty. Think caramel added to pecan pie w/o big pecan halves, More like pieces, and topped with whipped cream and praline pecan pieces. Delicious. Initially I thought it was too sweet but it was so good i kept eating it and once he tried it, my husband had several bites too. It's not even that big slice of pie. lol Josie provided great customer service, constantly refilling my husband's water, checking on us, & providing recommendations. The restroom was clean. It was decorated maybe from the 4th of July or for the Labor Day weekend. It seemed quite spacious as there was an area that was closed beyond the bar and smaller restaurant seating area. The TVs have closed captioned. I said we needed to give them another try when it wasn't 45-60 minutes before closing. So we'll do that. It was decent.

Once you've experienced Nirvana it is hard to fall back to mere mortal morsels although if you put that BBQ meat in front of me when I'm hangry I will totally destroy it like a pack of lions or school of rabid piranhas as I'm all about a big pile of meat and my carnivore beast instincts will take over!!!

My smoked chicken sandwich was good and full of meat. To the point I needed a fork and knife to finish eating it. My side of collard greens were good but missing the smoked turkey flavor. My husband got a sandwich and 2 sides combo and had significantly less meat than I did in his sandwich. Not sure if that's because I ordered just a sandwich and 1 side vs a combo. The food came out fast enough and I believe the value of food received for the amount paid was good, but I was expecting more flavor. Overall, I don't think we'll be rushing back given the proximity to the start/ end of our drive.
