It’s a little out of the way but worth it. Brisket & snoots were my favorite. Ribs, tips, potatoe salad & cole slaw were just ok. Banana pudding cake was
Called order in. Pleasant experience ☺️

Went here because a co worker suggested it. And boy they were right!!! I got a half a chicken and half a slab of ribs! The ribs were super tender and juicy. The chicken wasn’t dry and it was welled seasoned! Can’t wait to go back!!

All I can say, love this place. I come here for the snoot pieces. I travel a hundred miles to come here. The line was long in drive thru and in the inside. And when I got my food just delicious . This time I tried the snoot and tip combo, pull chicken sandwich and some potato salad; fingerlicking good. Tips were so tender, you can eat the gristle. See ya soon!

If you looking for good barbecue on the east side of Mississippi this is it. You go with the intentions to get everything you’re asking for off the menu and more. The wings are huge…… might need to be tested for steroids how big they are. The ribs are Savory nothing dry about it. Snoot, I was the first time snooter today, was very good texture is similar to pork skins.

We stopped here for some lunch on our way out of St. Louis, and we were NOT disappointed! The staff was friendly, and generous. The food was amazing. The portions were huge! Don’t skip this spot based on it’s looks!

When that craving hits for some quick grub, that reminds you of the bbqs at you very own “big mama’s house”! I think I caught them on an exceptional day and they had just opened the doors for the day!
Customer service: The customers that had been standing at the door waiting for them to open, were greeted with a smile and welcomed which was a good feeling!
Atmosphere: The music they had in was perfect, it of summer time with family! The vibe was good, the employees were all busy doing something which is a good thing, the cashier that took walk in orders was so nice, she was super busy taking phone orders and walk ins but did her thing professionally and effectively.
Food: It was fire! All of it! The rib tips were tender and juicy, the snoot was crisp and perfect amount of sauce.
Wait time wasn’t long I just looked around at the many supports they have, there are so many pics from reviews for big mommas! Though that was a cool way to show the supporters they appreciate our business!
Love them, getting some again today!
Food: 10/10
Service: 10/10
Atmosphere: 8/10 (the flooring/ceiling needs some work, a nice black and white tile floor would be banging in there… maybe more in house seating)

Just tried this for the first time today. Wife and I both got a cheeseburger combo, mine with house bbq sauce, and hers with the smoky hot sauce. We also split an order of 10 wingettes, 5 of them Kickin’ flavor, and 5 smoky hot. Everything was fantastic. I could tell the burgers were handmade and smoked. I think it would’ve been better without the cheese, but otherwise a fantastic burger. Fries were good. The Kickin’ wings were the best wings I’ve had in my life. Not exaggerating. Skin was perfectly crispy, and the meat was tender and juicy, and pretty much fell off the bone. The sauce was great too! The smoky hot sauce is good, but I was expecting it to be quite a bit spicier, and I think it would be even better if it was spicier. But again, fantastic food all-around, and for a GREAT price!!

Huge menu, delicious sides, and local’s favorite! Sauce is a lil more vinegar forward than I prefer; recommend getting ribs with sauce on the side.

I came here Monday, January 19, 2026. Spent a little over $107.00 I ordered pork steaks, rib tips, hot polish, snoots and snoot chips. Unfortunately it was not as appetizing as I expected. The snoot/chips were thick and greasy, the rib tips taste as if they were boiled with liquid smoke, tough and dried on one side. Our pork steaks had been smoked so long they had no moistness to them. The were thick pieces of meat not fit for consumption. The best part of our meal was the hot sausage and sauce drenched bread. It appears this was a poor decision I made choosing this establishment. I will say the lady who took our order was pleasant.
