Helen's came in #15 in Southern Living's 2019 ranking of the top 50 southern BBQ restaurants. The…read morefirst thing to be said is that the price point here is phenomenal. $18.80 purchased a St. Louis style rib platter (3 ribs) with required sides of baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad, and a regular pork sandwich "Memphis style." The pork and its mild sauce worked well with the coleslaw, and the ribs and their hot sauce were tasty while separating cleanly at the bite. The mashed potato salad complemented the ribs well, but not so the baked beans, which tasted like they had come straight out of a can. Since the sides are mandatory, a little more effort here would be welcome. In sum, we judged this to be decent but not awesome BBQ, especially given the limited scale of the menu.

We like this place a lot. We've dropped in a couple of times now and it's been great. The food is…read moredelicious and they're all super friendly. Today was a quick stop. Just a few wings and a brisket sandwich. The wings were on special and the were perfectly cooked, crispy and tender. Great flavor. The brisket was great too. Good flavor, solid smoke ring, tender and plentiful. And again, so nice and friendly.

The benches for the booths need some serious reupholstering! We chose to sit at a table. I love the rustic wood. We ordered the special for the day which included a sandwich, a side and a drink. We both ordered the Yard Bird with Alabama sauce. I really enjoyed it but my husband said it was so so. He doesn't like mayo. I enjoyed the flavor and the slight kick. All in all it was a good meal and the employees were very friendly. We would eat here again. I would like to recommend that you grill your buns, as the cold, dry bun kind of made it less tasty.

You've just entered the western city limits of Jackson on I-40. And you might think a barbecue food truck adjacent to an interstate popular for truckers couldn't be that good. But the truck drivers know what they're doing. And so do locals and other motorists who decide that exiting I-40 for barbecue is worth it. Because it is! Exit 87 BBQ is indeed smoking legit barbecue overlooking I-40 as numerous people drive by. And they have a whole bevy of smokers to prove it. The brisket is tender and flavorful with crispy edges. The pulled pork is just as good, maybe even better. You can choose between spicy and regular barbecue sauce. And refrigerated units are filled with numerous drink options and various cheesecakes. This roadside stop really surprised me and I would definitely go again!

The staff was friendly enough and they didn't bat an eye when I asked for multiple sauces. My one complaint was that they don't advertise that they actually do ribs, but treat them like they're the head of some secret society and only do a limited run of them on random days that customers have to either call in or stop by in order to be bestowed with the highest privilege of partaking in. I mean, come on, folks...you're not THAT special to be serving pork ribs in TN. Just let the public know what you serve and when...you may find your profits actually increase that way.

This place evidently has been doing there thing here for a minute or two and it's easy to see why they have made it such a long time. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich which came topped slaw. The pulled pork was very good... well smoked but not not overly smokey. Unlike most pulled pork I've had it was very lean and not at all greasy/fatty. The slaw on the sandwich was vinegar based and tasted to me exactly like dill pickles. I usually don't like this type of slaw but it truly paired well with the smoked pork, cutting through the smoke and helping to bring out its flavor. Sauce was optional with a choice between a vinegar/red pepper based sauce and a thicker/sweeter version with a similar taste profile. Both were tasty but truly not needed as the pork in the sandwich stood just fine by itself. The fresh cut french fries were fried exactly like my mother fried them... crispy on the ends and soft and fluffy in the interior... a delicious fry indeed. Good things stand the test of time and this place is a perfect example of that concept. Keep on doing what y'all are doing... it's working just fine!!!
