Saturday lunch with the family was phenomenal. The Kung Pao Pork Belly Burnt Ends are the best app I’ve had this year by far. The double smoked jalapeños takes jalapeño poppers to the next level, plus they are huge. The ribs are clean bite comp style; very well done. Brisket was awesome as were the brisket pinto beans and green chili mac n cheese. The setup is very family friendly, service is great, & the bbq is top notch. 100% worth the ride to Pocahontas.

I went for the first time for a book club meeting and was blown away! A friend recommended the brisket melt, green chili Mac n cheese, and Brussel sprouts. Everything was amazing! Already thinking when I can bring hubby here for a date night.

Sacred Ground BBQ is hands down the best BBQ in Mississippi! You absolutely have to try everything, but my personal favorites are the incredible TriTip and the mouthwatering Ribs.
Their brisket is truly amazing and the closest thing you’ll find to authentic Texas-style BBQ in the state, in my opinion. What sets Sacred Ground apart is that they sell their high-quality meats by the pound – this isn’t your typical BBQ joint with pre-set sides. If you’re just looking for a quick drive-through pulled pork sandwich, Full Moon BBQ might be your spot. But if you want BBQ prepared with passion by true craftsmen in a family-run business, then Sacred Ground BBQ is the place to be. I absolutely love the exceptional service and, most importantly, the outstanding food!

Really Amazing Place! Spectacular setup for great quick service. Excellent food! Awesome Menu!!! Brussels are Highly Recommended. Brisket Melt is Great! Sides are pretty much top shelf – Pinto Beans, Slaw,!! But don’t miss the Brussels.

This quaint establishment is just off Hwy 49, facing a RR track, which is cool for kids! Rustic interior, order @ the counter, with quick turn around although packed @ Sunday noon. Appetizer Brussels Sprouts was about 2# of wonderful, charted goodness with just a touch of mouth heat & the only thing that was piping hot. GPulled pork sandwich piled high with tender, smoky meat with some kind of cabbage relish – maybe pickled? I prefer finely chopped, fresh cole slaw. The sauces were a real ‘miss’ for us; peppery red (ketchup based – bland), Carolina which is usually a favorite, predominantly sweet but lacking, Alabama mostly vinegar. I passed on all & ate my sandwich sans sauce. Hand cut fries would have been stellar if they were still hot. Sitting halfway between the door & counter, our food was quickly cold on an exceptionally windy day. An air lock at the door would be really helpful. Great sweet tea! I bussed our table because I couldn’t determine if I needed to, seeing some customers do so, others trying to figure it out like me. Quite pricey but portions substantial! Ticket for two was $50 something . Great family atmosphere!

Sacred Ground Barbecue in Pocahontas, Mississippi, is a must-visit spot for barbecue lovers. I tried the brisket, which was tender and full of smoky flavor, while my dad ordered the St. Louis-style ribs, which were perfectly seasoned and fell off the bone. The sides of 4-cheese mac and cheese and Carolina coleslaw were the perfect complements—the mac and cheese was rich and creamy, while the slaw added a refreshing tang. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it an all-around great dining experience. Highly recommend stopping by for a hearty and satisfying meal!

If you’re looking for some of the best BBQ in Mississippi, look no further than Sacred Ground BBQ in Flora! From the moment you walk in, you can smell the amazing aroma of perfectly smoked meats. The pulled pork is out of this world – tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The brisket melts in your mouth, and the ribs fall off the bone with ease.
The sides are equally impressive, especially the mac and cheese and baked beans – the perfect complement to the main dishes. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere is cozy, making it a perfect spot to enjoy a delicious meal.
Whether you’re a local or just passing through, Sacred Ground BBQ is a must-visit. Can’t wait to come back for more!

Incredible BBQ. It was extremely busy but didn’t take too long to get our food.
Brisket was great, pulled pork sandwich was great, all the apps we tried were great.
The only caveat is it is a Carolina style which is vinegar based and some people don’t like that.
Can’t recommend enough

This was a solid 5*. Hearty servings. Brisket and burnt ends were the favorite of the table. Ribs were flavorful. Loved the brussel sprouts and green beans.

I don’t care for macaroni and cheese. It’s nearly always unexciting. I only got it here because I ordered the same exact thing the guy in front of me ordered. Oh my gosh!!! Their version of Mac n cheese is amazing! The rest of the food was pretty good too. I wish it was a little cheaper. I would be back sooner. I think I might secretly want more of the Mac n cheese than anything!
