    ribs and links......"lanks" as they list them on the menu.
    Ezra S.

    This is my new favorite place for BBQ in Jackson, I had the rib tips and links and as the advertisement says, "you don't need teeth to eat 'em", the meat is so tender I wish I knew their secret but I do know that is good. I also tried the chicken on a stick and it was good as well. The only thing I didn't like is the fact that they only accept cash which is an inconvenience, other than that it was a good experience.

    I came down to Jackson with my husband to visit my in laws and had to pick up some stuff at the gas station next door. I asked my husband if he ever had any of the food at Gators before and said no but a family friend that lives nearby said he has before and that they had good food. So my husband and I decided to give it a shot, and it was well worth the shot! My husband got the rib tips and I got the chicken on a stick. The chicken on a stick is OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!! I managed to eat the chicken on a stick before I had a chance to take a picture (my fault lol)! Nonetheless, you can get the chicken either mild or spicy (I got spicy) the pieces of chicken you get are HUGE and soooo juicy! They are well seasoned and also well seasoned that's on the stick with the chicken are potato slices, onions and pickles! Seriously, the chicken on a stick is ridiculously addictive lol! When we went back home to Atlanta, I was craving more chicken on a stick but they're only open from Wednesday - Saturday. We went on Friday and Saturday and they had a long line because the food is made to order, but well worth it! My husband's rib tips (that I managed to take a picture of before they were gone too lol) were pretty good as well! You get a pretty decent portion, the tips are all drench in a good amount of sauce, and you get a piece of white bread to sop everything up! All in all, I still think the star of the show was the chicken on a stick, but I think this is still definitely worth a try!

    I enjoy gators. We've gotten food to go. The pulled pork sandwich has been great and I love their size.

    This is the best hidden bbq spot in Mississippi. The ribs fall right off the bone and have…read moreincredible taste. I always save leftovers for the next day its so good. And also the people are the nicest people youll meet.

    I walked into this barbecue storefront hoping for that familiar comfort of smoke, heat, and messy,…read morefinger-staining flavor. Instead, what I got felt like an afterthought. The ribs were cold, which took away any chance of enjoying them the way they should be: tender and piping hot with that kiss of smoke. Without that, it was just tough meat on a bone. I will say the rub was flavorful, but it couldn't help the toughness. Also got a beef sausage with onions and while the snap of the casing was pronounced, the insides were cold and bland as well. Barbecue sauce is usually the soul of a place like this, something that tells you the story of the pitmaster and their craft. Here, there was no story, just packets of Kraft BBQ sauce. It felt impersonal, like the heart of the place was missing. The sides didn't step in to rescue things either. The potato salad and baked beans tasted like they came straight from a grocery store container, unseasoned and uninspired. When the main event falls flat, the sides should at least give you a reason to come back, but they didn't. I wanted this spot to be a hidden gem, the kind of place you recommend to friends when they ask for local flavor. Instead, it was the kind of meal you forget as soon as you walk out the door, and that's the real disappointment.
