    Rib tips and crinkle cut french fries.
    Karol C.

    Yum yum! Good ole smoked meats and traditional barbeque sides! You know when you pull up to the parking lot and there are no spaces, the food will be the bomb. I stood in line waiting behind six or seven people as the man in front of me complained that he would pass out if he didn't eat soon. He even suggested that I would too! *crying laughing* I finally reached the cashier after staring down the lemonade canister for fifteen minutes. The lemonade looked heavenly, and it did not disappoint. I am tempted to drive back there now for some, but I digress. I also ordered a rib tip plate with cole slaw and french fries. The cole slaw had much too much dressing for my taste, but it was decent. The fries were simple crinkle cut. The tasty tips beckoned me to nibble on them on my drive back home, and I obliged. I love that the meat was served without sauce. I don't usually eat it. The meat was so good, it didn't need sauce. Really good southern barbeque. I look forward to trying the smoked turkey on my next visit.

    Rib tips plate w 2 sides (mac m cheese, potato salad), comes w slice of bread. Ordered small sweet vinegar onion $0.50 but get you a large !

    Wow best damned BBQ of my life ! Smoked, you can taste the earth in each clean bite. Generous portions, got 1/2 slab and rib tips plate w 2 sides, could prob feed 4 people. Get the big sweet vinegar onions. Sauce comes on the side and is so unique: caramel and dark, molasses. Got a bottle of that too !

    I wasn't hungry and neither was my SO, but my SO wanted to try some real Mississippi BBQ so we stopped by here. Sylvester's is literally a gas station off the highway outside of Jackson MS. My SO ordered pork ribs with sides of baked beans and potato salad. The cashier was nice enough to point out that it would be cheaper to order the same thing as a rib plate, which he did. I just got one chicken wing just to try something. We also saw the others workers being super nice and polite to other customers. As I just had the one chicken wing (delicious) I'll let my SO take it from here: After eating our way across Mississippi I wasn't really hungry at all, so I ordered my rib plate to go. I thought I'd try it while it was warm though, so we sat down for a moment for me to try a quick bite. Big mistake. The first bite of the rib was succulent, juicy, flavorful, exactly what I was hoping for. This was a five star rib for sure. I knew they made their own bbq sauce though so I got up and asked the cashier if I could get a side. She somehow managed to tell me that it was in the to go bag without making me feel like an idiot, so I sat back down and dipped my rib into the sauce. My second and fatal mistake. Sweet, tangy, very mildly spicy, and another flavor breaking through....maple syrup. I tore into the second rib, then the third. Ignoring my overtaxed stomach and forgetting that this was a to go order I ripped into the fourth, then the baked beans (fantastic, I think they also had maple syrup) and the potato salad (also great) and then back to the fifth rib before I realized what I had done. As I write this I am in some level of pain, but it was worth every bite, and I'm actually somehow salivating thinking about the several ribs I have left in my mangled to go box. Sylvester's is the reason we try really hard to save five star reviews for the really outstanding places. We were already running late and it was a few miles out of our way to get here, but it was completely worth it. Don't pass this by.

    This restaurant is: Utterly divine…read more The food is: Beautifully made The taste is: Utterly the best The service: Incredibly meets the mark And for the longest time I only knew of one Indian restaurant in Clinton: Taste of India, until they pissed me off when they made that veg biryani incorrectly, I just knew I wasn't getting my money's worth on authentic Indian. After a quick Google search, my boyfriend and I discovered this masterpiece of a restaurant that puts Taste of India off the map. This restaurant is as they say, Utterly Delicious! It means something when you walk into an establishment of food and see that there are other customers in there dining in or waiting on take out compared to seeing an empty place. Here, you wait about 45 minutes for your food because everything is made to order. So you know it's fresh and up to quality! No BS. The butter chicken, tikka masala, chana masala, red beans, samosas, aloo and pakora, garlic and butter naan are all cooked with atmost love because the consistency in flavor is the same each and every single time that we've visited. Many restaurants fail to do this, but not at Utterly Delicious! Come check to them out, you don't be utterly disappointed, but utterly delighted!

The food was absolutely delicious, flavorful, just the right amount of spices. We love the fusion of Indian and veggie burger. This place is the perfect take out spot! Order ahead, perfection takes time. Staff very sweet. Kid review 10yrs old: worker very nice, FOOD IS THE BEST FOOD IVE EVER HAD, and if you take out, make sure to order ahead cuz it takes a bit longer. AMAZING FOOD! THANK YOU UTTERLY DELICIOUS.

However, I called for a reservation and at first asked for a table for 7. One more family member wanted to join, so I called and asked for 8. Was told no problem. However, no one wrote that down. Tried to seat our family outside in the blazing hot with mosquitos attacking my 2 year old nephew. We asked if we could sit inside. There was a table large enough. Was told it was for groups of 8. Well, that's what we had, but since no one had written the change to our reservation, it was an awkward wait to see if we could really sit there. Service was slow but we understood it was busy. When we were ordering, we were told by our waiter we weren't allowed to buy any additional sides. You only could get what part of a meal. We were ordering meals but wanted some extra sides of their side dish options. Was told this restaurant doesn't allow for that which is wild to me. When we asked to know how their baked potato salad was made/what was in it, our waiter (who said he'd worked there 4 years) could not tell us, but said he knew it was bad. We asked about the baked potato casserole, and his reply was it was "just a regular baked potato all mushed up". Clearly not selling us on either of those. Some people were setting up for a trivia night, and we had people coming to our table multiple times asking us if we were doing trivia. "No". Then a large group who apparently wanted our table just stood near; lurking and waiting for us to leave. ... My brother asked if they had a dessert menu. Our waiter didn't seem to know but went to ask and came back telling us "we do, but you'd have to wait another 20 minutes." What?!! We paid and left. We recently moved to Clinton and had heard some good things about this restaurant and decided to bring our family who was in from out of town, but what a horrible experience. From poor service, to rushed dining, to not allowing us to order items we actually wanted, I was simply blown away this was our first (and last) time to come here.
