Then we caught a deep breath of barbecue smoke and flavor. If we had been cartoons, we would have floated in on the fragrance like ghosts! The chicken and brisket double decker sandwich did not let us down! It was thick and delicious! We definitely look forward to returning for another round of Mississippi barbecue!

I recently stopped by Murky Waters BBQ in Hattiesburg and found the experience to be average…read moreoverall. The food was generally good. We tried the pulled chicken, boneless chicken bites, pulled pork sandwich, tuna dip, and macaroni and cheese. The mac and cheese was easily the standout side dish--creamy, flavorful, and something I'd definitely order again. The meats were solid, but nothing particularly memorable compared to other BBQ places I've visited. The service was okay, but it felt like the restaurant may have been understaffed. Several items seemed to arrive in stages rather than together. Things like silverware, lemons for water, and other small necessities had to be brought out separately, which made the service feel a bit disorganized and slower than expected. One area that could use attention is cleanliness. The women's restroom wasn't in the best condition during our visit, and there was a restroom cleaning log posted on the door that appeared to have last been filled out in March. Whether it was simply overlooked or not, it doesn't create the best impression for customers. Overall, I'd rate the experience 3 out of 5 stars. The food was decent, especially the mac and cheese, but the service and attention to detail kept it from being a place I'd go out of my way to visit again. I've had better BBQ experiences elsewhere.

Strick's has been around for years and is so close to the USM campus that both students and locals keep it going. In addition to various smoked meats they also have some seafood and other menu items like crawfish and poboys. Last time I was there, my wife and I shared some Swap Nachos and it was amazing. They take regular nachos with cheese, then cover it when fried shrimp, then ladle a healthy portion of gumbo over the top to add more shrimp and also sausage. It's so incredibly good with how all the flavors blend together, and quite large. My go-to order and most BBQ places is a combo of brisket and pulled pork, and Strick's does it right. The meat is flavorful with a great bark, plus they have three signature sauces to kick them up if needed. They have various standard sides like baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, and more. Also included is a mini muffin of cornbread, and I always get the jalapeno cheese option. The inside of this place is decorated with a lot of old signage and has a very country feel that perfectly fits the laid back atmosphere and food. You can refill your own drink, which is nice, and their sweet tea is excellent.

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.
