I had heard good things about Boondocks and it was True!
Tried them for lunch today, they were busy but were seated promptly.
The place smells fantastic. The aroma of smoked bbq wafts through the air.
Good selection on the menu of all the bbq staples, plus burgers, tacos, tenders, salads and hotdogs! (And more)
The smoked chicken is a star. Smoky, juicy and tasty.
The brisket is likewise a star. Beefy, seasoned well and moist.
The wings are good. The pulled pork is good and the smoked sausage is very tasty.
Beans were good. The Elote Corn is a star side item! Fries are normal crinkle cut.
You’ll not leave hungry.
Friendly service.
Will return.

I’ve eaten here several times and there hasn’t been anything that wasn’t delicious. Hands down the best ribs I’ve ever had. Service is always top tier—give them a try. You won’t be disappointed

WOW! Amazing, delicious, friendly and just overall the best restaurant I’ve been to in a very long time. The atmosphere is wonderful and relaxing. Owners are great and dedicated which is seen when you take your first bite of the tremendous food with generous portions.

Stopped by Boondocks BBQ in the Belhaven neighborhood and it did not disappoint. I had the chopped brisket sandwich with a side of mac & cheese, and both were packed with flavor and cooked perfectly. They also have a solid variety of items on the menu, so there’s something for everyone.
The service was amazing, and Kody, the owner, is awesome—friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about the place. Great food, great people, and a spot I’ll definitely be coming back to.

Love this place. I’ve already been 4 times and each time it’s been great. Just ordered the ribs and potato casserole and it’s so tender and good.

Boondocks is for real! The food is some of the best ive ever eaten. Hands down it’s A-Game Southern Barbecue. Kody is such a gracious host making sure everyone is having their best dining experience and Tae and TJ are excellent behind the bar. They were friendly, attentive and never left me without or waiting. I was seated immediately and my food was out in no time. It was hot, fresh and satisfying. Boondocks was everything you’d expect from a supreme dining experience plus so much more with an unbelievable list of menu options. Plus they have Coors Banquet behind the bar so ill def be back!!! Boondocks is the real deal and I’ll definitely be back!!! 10 stars all around!

Please note that this visit was on day 2 while they are still in a bit of a ‘soft opening’ stage.
Also, I checked $20-30 for amount spent, but there are many options that will get you a good meal for under $20.
Further, I don’t know how I went to a BBQ place and got hit with a burger craving, but that’s what happened. As soon as I saw the word ‘smash burger’, I was done. Ha! But I was gifted with a sample rib and I will talk about that too.
Details:
We were a party of 3: myself, my brother, and a friend. My brother and I both landed on “The Belhaven Melt” double smash burger. Our friend ordered the “Birria Tacos” with both the barbacoa brisket and smoked pulled chicken options.
On the positive side:
– They have a very interesting menu full of intriguing takes on familiar food. I don’t think there’s a single item that I don’t want to come back another day to try.
– They have a nice selection of beer on tap with a few standards like Miller Lite and Ultra and several crafts including my recent local favorite “Mississippi Queen”.
– The rib I was gifted with was really, really good. It was tender and moist with nice bark and good flavor. I’m sure they have a good house BBQ sauce but it never occurred to me to ask for any. The rib stood very well on its own.
– The smash burger was delicious. It has what they call a “tasty patty melt sauce” on it along with cheddar and grilled onions, but at the time I didn’t pay much attention to those details. All I knew was it was good and I kept taking bite after bite. That’s what really well balanced flavors does for you. Also, I expected this burger to be messy to eat but it really wasn’t. It had just the right amount of toppings in the right proportions.
– I sampled my friend’s Birria Tacos which were also delicious and easy to eat. You could bite right through without dragging out the contents or missing out on any of the carefully balanced components. The barbacoa brisket was my favorite, but maybe that was just psychological. That ‘barbacoa’ word makes my mouth water! The chicken was delicious too.
On the negative side:
A chef friend told me once that chefs do not cook, that the chef’s role is to curate the whole dining experience, which is everything from developing recipes, to training sous chefs and waitstaff, to organizing the flow of the dining room. Most of this could have been done better.
– The waitstaff were warm and friendly but felt to me to be rushed and disorganized. Even though my brother and I ordered the same dish, his came out well before mine or my friend’s meal did. This is a big no-no in my book. As southern manners dictate, he had to sit there and stare at his food until ours arrived. I hope this works itself out soon so I can give a better review down the road.
– The eating utensils are plastic and come in a cellophane pouch with a small napkin. Additional napkins are cheap, one-ply squares in a dispenser at the table. These dirt cheap products ‘cheapened’ the experience for me.
– For some reason their soft drinks are of the Pepsi product line. Why I don’t know considering Coca Cola’s ties to Mississippi. That’s a negative for me. I’m a Coke girl and I think it pairs better with most foods than Pepsi.
– All-in-all though, I’ll be back again many, many times!
