It’s a Blues-style backyard party in this building!!! The music fits the soul of the place. The owner is super cool and friendly. I ordered the smoked buffalo wings. I ate that dozen down with french fries like they were the last wings I’m gonna eat. Cooked just right. Not under or over, just perfect. The lady at the counter was nice enough to let me try a piece of pork rib after I placed my order. Tough choice. Maybe a half ribs/half wings combo in the future? The ribs were tender and no fat. The seasoning was excellent. Ever back in town again I’ll be sure to stop in!!! Thank you for my meal. – MQJ

This is a new joint that I was told has only been open a few weeks. They are located right in the small downtown area of Ellisville, MS. My Momma had eaten here before and she reported she liked the pork ribs she ate. During her second visit and my initial visit I sampled the brisket plate and got the sides of sweet potatoes along with the mac & cheese. Now for my part I found the brisket moist although lacking in any BBQ smoke flavor and the sweet potatoes were alright. The BBQ sauce here is of the sweet variety and it was an OK version of a sweet sauce.
So after some deliberation Momma decided to get the burger with sides of baked beans along with the mac and cheese. Well Momma was 100% not happy with her burger and she didn’t even finish it… Just looking at the burger it appeared quite pathetic and weak as it had the beef patty thickness about the same as a generic McDonald’s burger. Momma took about three bites and gave up as she said “this has to have been a pre-made generic beef patty they bought!” To add insult to injury they have a huge sign on the front of the building here that says “BURGERS” so they really need to upgrade their burger game here!
So at the the conclusion of our meal both Momma and I agreed the mac & cheese was certainly lacking in the cheese department so we wouldn’t recommend ordering that as a side item. Overall my brisket was alright while it would absolutely never win any BBQ competition. To my taste the food was below average for the most part other than most people seem to really love the pork ribs here which seems to be an area they consistently do well with here (I don’t eat pork so I have no opinion on the pork ribs). For the general area I will rank this spot a three star but in places with more BBQ options this spot would be two star joint or in BBQ Mecca places like Austin, TX a one star. Another small item of consternation to me here is they didn’t have any lemon for my iced tea which so far has been a consistent occurrence in this area at the restaurants I’ve eaten at which just makes zero sense to me? The folks working here were nice and they did seem to draw a decent lunch crowd so seems plenty of folks like this place and my taste is certainly different from others tastes so obviously plenty of others seem to enjoy eating here which is fine. Remember to like what you like and I will too along with always remembering we all have different tastes!

Food was fresh, fast, and delicious. Place was really neat – old place with cute decor. I was a little confused on what to do when I came through the front door — and I learned that you have to walk all the way to the back to give your order. This plate + drink + 20% tip was $24. Expensive for a lunch, but I’ll be back.

My husband and I ate there for the first time yesterday. I had been hearing from people at work how good it was, and I was not disappointed. I got the brisket and he got the drummets. Everything was delicious, and the service was amazing. They got the food to us very quickly. I love the interior of the restaurant, and there is plenty of room for customers, and there are several seating options.

The food was delicious!!! The best ribs that I have had since I can remember… This is definitely my new favorite bbq joint!! Also, I wasn’t feeling well when I first entered the restaurant and the lady that worked there was very kind and attentive to me in general… I am so grateful for her and what she did for me while I was there… The type of hospitality that she offered me is not often seen… I greatly appreciated her… Thank You ma’am & again the food was very delicious‼️

I have dined in and taken out at this restaurant. There have been times that I have eaten here 2-3 times a week. It has a very nice atmosphere, and the couple that owns the restaurant, are very nice and eager to satisfy their customers. I’ve tried most everything on the menu, but my absolute favorite is the wings!! It’s nice to have wings so good that they don’t even need sauce. They are tender, with a rich smokey flavor that stands alone and is outstanding. They do offer several flavors to the wings, as well. The brisket is always very tender with a delicious smokiness that makes this a perfect addition to their wonderful sides. My favorite sides are the sweet potatoes and potato salad. The potato salad is not bought from a food service, but homemade and it shows. The sweet potatoes are spiced with a great combination for the win. They have other sides to complement their meats, with rice dressing being another town favorite. I’m already looking forward to my next visit, and you should, too!

First time trying it and I absolutely loved it. I’m from California couldn’t find any soul food places that actually tasted good. I found this and it was a match made in heaven, highly recommend for that real soul food taste the garlic parmesan wings was so fresh and grilled to perfection and the drizzle was on point and the mac and cheese was cheesy loved it all
