This was okay for lunch. I had the rib plate with cole slaw and collard greens, which was served with Texas toast. I'm not sure why it was 20 minutes to be prepared, but I had the Internet and kept myself entertained. The ribs were meaty but very covered in sauce. The cole slaw was good and crisp. The collards were a bit bland. The place is not fancy and has almost no decor. It's simple and that's okay. [Review 14176 overall, 1498 of 2020, number 67 in Mississippi.] read more

The meat is tiny and overcooked! Little drums from a baby chic. Little thighs from a baby chick. Plus it's dry and scorched looking. The bbq sauce is god awful! No wonder this place is always empty. Anyway, I bit of the drum to try it and the top layer was rubbery so I tried the meat underneath. My dad ate the sausage. We got our money back because we couldn't eat it. Right after, just from that little try we go so sick to our stomachs it started to hurt really badly and I went to the hospital and had a touch of food poisoning. My dad had to shit right after and good thing he did because he didn't get sick like I did. I took the meds and finally got some relief in the morning. EAT HERE AT YOUR OWN RISK read more

If you like boiled rib that are not cute done and a bbq sauce that taste store, ( meaning horrible), you can't go wrong with this place. OMG, I spent $30 for some terrible backyard BBQ. Lol as a philosopher once said, you have to try it to learn it. It amazes me that they have such a good reputation when the food is cooked and prepared so poorly. Lol Taste is an individual thing. For me is pass and go to another place I won't mention on government st. That truly can do a better job. Oh and if your thinking of the shed skip it. What happen to your food? read more

The bbq was what you might expect from a decent bbq joint, but way overpriced for the little you get. In my home state of Arkansas, you'll never leave hungry if you order a main course from the menu. Unfortunately, both my wife and I were dissatisfied when we left this place. I admit I have a big appetite, but my wife rarely ever finishes what's on her plate; and she was first to recommend stopping somewhere to get a burger before we headed home. There are better options for bbq in Biloxi and Gulfport; and they won't leave you hungry. Unfortunately, I can't say this was a pleasant experience. read more

Was in the area so decided to check out some of the areas highest rated BBQ places. I have to say I was disappointed with this joint. Friendly staff but girl taking order did not seem to really know menu or even how to take care of you. I will not waste time going into all the details. As for the food, I had ribs and chicken. Why, at 2:30 in the afternoon the BBQ place was out of chicken and could not do a 1/2 chicken dinner so I told them to give me s few ribs to offset. The chicken was kind of dry and no skin on it. The ribs were good. Also had bake beans which were nothing special and slaw. BBQ is more about the sauce here and this misses the mark for me. First, no sauce on the tables. Seems they only have one sauce and it's just OK. A little spice or peppery but does not stand out. read more

Good BBQ, very friendly owner and staff. Ordered the 2 meat plate. Both brisket and ribs were awesome. Had greens and beans for sides. Both were distinctly favorable and very good. Being from Colorado, I'm used to half ass bbq that all tastes the same. Pleasant's was an eye opener to the art of bbq. For desert, we had awesome little sweet potato and pecan pies. Rolled out a happy man. The owner Mike gave us a tip on Our next stop - Shearwater Pottery; and a friendly regular at the next table got in his car and led us there.

For people who like to eat out a lot, or at least people who like to go on road trips, there is this dream of walking into some random place that you might have missed if you we're paying attention and having a meal that defies your expectations. That place may be a diner with the best apple pie in America or an eatery attached to a gas station off the interstate that oddly enough serves the best Chinese food you've ever had. But you're always a little reluctant to go in at first, and your bravery is rewarded. Pleasant's BBQ is such a place. Located in trendy Ocean Springs, Pleasant's has an unassuming storefront but just the bare minimum of what you'd expect from a restaurant. Within a few blocks of the restaurant are designer stores, fine dining restaurants, and bars. But Pleasant's is just four walls and a some tables and chairs. I happened upon this place while pub crawling in Ocean Springs on St. Patrick's day 2011. I was hungry and all the other places in the area were jam packed. Pleasant's was just beyond the crowded areas and was able to accommodate our large group. Indeed, we were the only customers there when we arrived. I ordered the Pleasant's special, a pulled pork sandwich with baked beans and coleslaw. The food won me over. Everything tasted as it you'd imagine it would when eating southern BBQ. I'm not sure what their secret is, but according to them, "The secret is in the sauce!" Whatever the secret is, it works. Definitely check this place out if you get the chance. read more

Stopped by here on a journey for barbecue in Mississippi, and as the other reviews say - it is all about the sauce. The sauce is a sweet/molasses/tomato style sauce, and a healthy dose is mixed in with the pulled pork. Ate the brisket, pulled pork, and ribs. The ribs were the star of the show. They had a nice smoke to them, and were finished off on the grill with the sauce before serving. Since I am not a fan of sauce-driven barbecue, I would only give this joint three stars. The four stars are given for the pitmaster, Michael Pleasant, who spent some time with us while we ate. read more

Nice location, easy to park, right off of the main street in Ocean Springs. Brisket was moist and tender, sliced thin, which is different than I've ever had it but in a good way. Sausage had a great smoked flavor, texture was good; crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, again in a good way. Ribs were my favorite, fall of the bone, great smoky flavor. Potato salad and baked beans were just okay. I met the owner, very friendly, great service. Will definitely be back. 5 stars. read more

Ordered the brisket plate. The brisket was dry and the house made BBQ sauce was sub par in flavor. The portion size of the brisket was fair but the baked beans and potato salad was tiny in size. The price of the food would seem fair if they gave bigger portions of the side items.

The good: our $4.50 Shiner Bock was ice cold. That's all that we enjoyed. Ribs were overcooked and beyond tender - no smoked taste - meat was mushy fall off the bone - the texture was terrible. . Pulled pork was flavorless - it was devoid of any seasonings - we couldn't taste any seasonings or smoke flavors. Brisket had a great bark but otherwise it was dry and over cooked. Ordered 1/2 flat & 1/2 moist, which surprisingly puzzled the order taker as though he had never heard brisket has 2 distinct textures. All we got was dry flat slices. And they offer no burnt ends: "we're so busy, we would have no time to serve burnt ends." BBQ sauce was almost black and tasted burned. It was inedible. Beans were thin and pale and way too soupy. The cole slaw was soupy and very sweet. Since this place is apparently popular, and our servings were so different from BBQ in Texas and FL and SC, MS folks like a very strange facsimile of real BBQ. All in all, the Shed was just not good. Any Sonny's anywhere is miles better. We most certainly won't be back.

We discussed the menu and she gave me wonderful drink recommendations. Once I placed my order, my food quickly arrived at my table, piping hot. I intentionally ordered a larger portion meal so that I could take half of it to go for dinner later. Again, Randi came through with to-go containers included small containers for sauce. She included napkins, plastic ware and a wet nap. After my meal, I had some time to spare before I needed to head to the train. Randi told me to take my time and hang out, no rush. She refilled my water and I sat and read on my Kindle until it was time for me to go. When traveling alone, you don't know what to expect when you try a business for the first time. Will you be greeted warm, how will the service be...you just never know. This was a 5 star experience across the board. And Randi, if you ever see this; Thank you Queen! You are a beautiful soul!

Potato salad, house salad, and fries are good. Collards are hit or miss. You can't tell they're even open, both times we've been we are the ONLY customers. The whole staff is so bored. They're pretty friendly considering they only have to tend to one or two people at a time. The open signs never on and the windows are dark so they look closed. I do enjoy the drinks, atmosphere, and good bbq but since this new spot has opened they've really gone downhill. I'm not sure I'll be back to this location if I ever decide to return - it's really a bummer. Even more depressing is the Bay St. Louis location closing because the bartender was friendly and kept great conversation, burnt ends I had there were the best, and I thought the location was great.

I've been coming here for years and rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was…read moredisappointing enough that I feel people should know before spending their money. I ordered the flavored champagne flight during brunch and specifically asked for very light syrup because the drinks are usually extremely sweet. When the flight came out, it tasted exactly the same as the regular version -- overwhelmingly sweet to the point that I genuinely could not drink it. When I politely mentioned it, the bartender/manager said "that's just how it comes" and initially refused to do anything about it. I sent the flight back and ordered a plain glass of champagne instead. Our server told us she would speak to the manager and have her come talk to us, but apparently the manager refused multiple times because she was "too busy." Eventually, the same flight was brought back out after they said they had poured some out and added more champagne on top. Unfortunately, it was still far too sweet, and I still couldn't drink two of the four glasses. What disappointed me most wasn't even the drinks -- it was the customer service. Mistakes happen, but the dismissive attitude from management and lack of concern made the experience frustrating and uncomfortable. The server also seemed irritated at being caught in the middle rather than interested in resolving the situation. I still tipped 20% because I know serving isn't easy, but after today I honestly don't see myself coming back.

Amazing place and owner!…read more My boyfriend (who is from the Midwest) decided to change up our lunch plans and have me (from Ocean Springs) try the "home of Chicago style hoagies" place. So I did end up getting a cheeseburger (playing it "safe") but it was a HOMERUN! Grilled onions were superb. Crunchy pickles. The bun was buttered and just *chef kiss*. I did get onion rings and egg rolls as sides and they complimented very well to my cheeseburger. Connor ordered the Italian Hoagie with Au Jus and peppered. I had 2 bites. One on top and one on bottom with ALL the au jus - I definitely loved the juicier bite. The owner asked which one and upon telling him the juicier bite he mentioned the Chicago way is to have them "BAPTIZED and PEPPERED" and that sounded perfect. Connor and I plan on going back next Monday to try the baptized Italian hoagie or the Philly cheesesteak or for me the polish dog! Amazing amazing amazing!

The sandwiches were great. The pizza was good and would be better if they cooked it well-done or…read morehad giardinera. The lady behind the cash register was sweet. The mild sauce made the fried good. The service was really slow and the cook was not a friendly guy. I want to like this place but Mr. Chef should slow his roll and be nicer to the customers. He told me I didn't pay for mild sauce, it's $1. Like wtf take your dollar man. The ambiance isn't supposed to be great at a place like this, it's a plain sandwich shop. I'd try again maybe.

First off, if you're not really looking for this place, it's a little hard to find, but once you do…read moreyou will be coming back! This is a casual place that makes you feel like you are in someone's back yard. Fold out tables and plastic ware make for easy cleanup, but don't let that put you off! Hubby and I visited for some early afternoon lunch, and it did not disappoint! Specials written on the blackboard were fast sellers mostly with people ordering take out trays. The smothered porkchops in a single meal were enough for 2; heavy, smothered in brown gravy and flat out delicious! Paired with sweet potato casserole and fried okra (my choices) I only wish I wore stretchy pants. That food is for certain some kind of stick to your ribs (and your butt too) that you just can't say no to. If you leave hungry, that's on you.

Came in after seeing the restaurant on a Google search. After looking at the pictures, the price of…read morea meal looked to be around $10 for a meat and 2 sides. If that was wrong I couldn't have imagined it being more than $15. We got the chicken that came with rice and gravy which was decent. The Mac and cheese was okay but didn't seem homemade. The sweet potato casserole had the look and consistency of baby food. While the lady helping us was real nice in the beginning, for some reason it felt like there was a shift. It was supposed to come with a complimentary dessert which was not offered. We chose to pay the bill with cash even though it seemed like we were being taken advantage of. One meal and 2 waters was $28. I left there very disappointed and wouldn't encourage anyone to eat there.

Definitely a must stop in Ocean Springs!

We sat outside, since it was a beautiful day and the patio is pet friendly. That outside area has all the things...a fountain, sun shades, huge fans, heaters...they're ready for any weather. There's also a long bar outside with a tv...lots of seating inside and out. I got the crab cakes plate with pasta and a salad with lemon vinaigrette. I was happy with my choice...it was delicious. My husband likes "regular", so he got the hot ham and cheese with fries. Make sure you read the fine print if you like regular. It had an aioli and I think pickled onions, so he didn't care for it. It did have a lot of ham, but just one tiny piece of cheese. Our waitress was so fun and attentive...sorry I didn't get her name!
