This is a new joint that I was told has only been open a few weeks. They are located right in the small downtown area of Ellisville, MS. My Momma had eaten here before and she reported she liked the pork ribs she ate. During her second visit and my initial visit I sampled the brisket plate and got the sides of sweet potatoes along with the mac & cheese. Now for my part I found the brisket moist although lacking in any BBQ smoke flavor and the sweet potatoes were alright. The BBQ sauce here is of the sweet variety and it was an OK version of a sweet sauce. So after some deliberation Momma decided to get the burger with sides of baked beans along with the mac and cheese. Well Momma was 100% not happy with her burger and she didn't even finish it... Just looking at the burger it appeared quite pathetic and weak as it had the beef patty thickness about the same as a generic McDonald's burger. Momma took about three bites and gave up as she said "this has to have been a pre-made generic beef patty they bought!" To add insult to injury they have a huge sign on the front of the building here that says "BURGERS" so they really need to upgrade their burger game here! So at the the conclusion of our meal both Momma and I agreed the mac & cheese was certainly lacking in the cheese department so we wouldn't recommend ordering that as a side item. Overall my brisket was alright while it would absolutely never win any BBQ competition. To my taste the food was below average for the most part other than most people seem to really love the pork ribs here which seems to be an area they consistently do well with at this joint (I don't eat pork so I have no opinion on the pork ribs). For the general area I will rank this spot a three star but in places with more BBQ options this spot would be two star joint or in BBQ Mecca places like Austin, TX a one star. Another small item of consternation to me here is they didn't have any lemon for my iced tea which so far has been a consistent occurrence in this area at the restaurants I've eaten at which just makes zero sense to me? The folks working here were nice and they did seem to draw a decent lunch crowd. So it generally seems plenty of folks like this place and my taste is certainly different from others tastes so obviously plenty of others seem to enjoy eating here which is fine. Remember to like what you like and I will too along with always remembering we all have different tastes! read more

See all

We eat there several times a month and the worst experience we've had was the day they sold out of rids before I got there. Lol The food is great, the surroundings are comfortable and the staff makes you feel like family. The price is on par with other BBQ shacks but better food. read more

The service was rude, confrontational at times and the food was subpar! Charged almost $4 to add lettuce, tomato and onion to a burger basket and couldn't even eat them. It was the pieces that I would have thrown away at home. The ribs were dry and tough. Will not revisit! read more
