    Pulled Chicken
    Cristine Z.

    The service was great. The girls working were quick and really nice. The restaurant was super chilly, so we decided to eat outside. I had to drench the chicken in BBQ sauce because it was a little dried out. The corn seemed like it was boiled a little too long. The winner of the evening though was the chocolate pie with meringue on top. The pie was delicious!

    Fried pickles

    You can't go wrong when choosing to eat at The Little Dooey! Wonderful bbq, baked beans, and of course the fried pickles makes it my restaurant of choice in both Columbus and Starkville! The service is excellent and fast, and the atmosphere is very hometown Columbus- fun and full of locals!

    Nasty sauce everywhere.

    I really love good barbecue and this place used to be popping. The food is still good but the condiments are so nasty. I really wish they would clean better and sanitize their containers. The crusty sauce and empty ketchup just drew the line for me. They could use some wood paper towel holders for the tables too. The paper towels just sit on the tables where people pick them up with their nasty hands. Yuck. The employees never greeted me as they were counting cash on the food counter. I really hope they washed their hands afterwards. Where's the owner?

    Pulled pork, mac and cheese, coleslaw, Texas toast
    Lola L.

    This place is a gem. The food was so delicious and the service was fast. I am from Texas so naturally I am defensive over BBQ but this place surpassed my expectations. The food was fresh and flavorful. The housemade sauce was the perfect blend of sweet and spiced. I got pulled pork which was tender and flavorful, some fresh and sweet coleslaw, and mac and cheese with a great consistency and not too heavy. The Texas toast was like garlic bread but I would have to say it was a delicious change from the plain Texas toast I've gotten in Texas. The sweet tea wasn't TOO sweet which is a problem I often encounter in the south. All for a very good price. I'll miss this place!

    Truly expected better after all of the recommendations I received. BBQ was merely acceptable and fried pickles were WAY overdone.

I was disappointed that you could not go inside because of their fear of covid, but, I was able to order and they brought it outside to me. I ordered a half rack of ribs, 1 pound of Brisket, and 1 pulled pork plate with potato salad and baked beans. Back home (South LA) we have a BBQ/Smokehouse we eat from and the brisket is the BEST Ive found so far! But... Glenns ribs are by FAR the BEST Ive had from a restaurant! The taste, the tenderness & I really like the bbq sauce! The brisket was ok. But like I said, once you taste one thats way better ...well... it is, what it is. I am not trying to sound rude or mean, just always love being honest. Someone else may think his is the BEST brisket and thats great! I hope they do! Brisket was $20. bucks a pound. I bought a pound plus a half of rack of ribs. (Ribs were $25. a slab) Now, the pulled pork? Excellent! Very well cooked & even better with the sauce! The baked beans... were the absolute BEST! I wished I had more! The potato salad, was really good too! All around, I give this place a 5 STAR and recommend them to anyone to try at least once! We will order again before we head back home, Im sure. Thank You Glenns BBQ! GREAT JOB! Great service! Very fast & VERY friendly workers!
