About Betty Davis Ponderosa Bar-B-Que

Betty Davis Ponderosa Bar-B-Que is a long-standing restaurant, known for its Memphis style dry rub ribs that have been enjoyed by generations of Ole Miss students. The location has changed, but the delicious ribs remain the same. Arrive early as they can run out, and if they do, rib tips are available as an alternative. The interior is simple, but dining outside on your tailgate enhances the atmosphere. Cheeseburgers with sweet brioche buns and crinkle cut fries are also offered, and the owners are friendly, providing tips on local joints. The restaurant is cash-only and bring-your-own-beer.

The establishment has a homey atmosphere, reminiscent of eating in someone's house. They raise their own hogs and cook the meat in the traditional Mississippi country way. All food is handmade from scratch, and the owner still maintains old country store prices. Children are welcome to experience this piece of living history before it disappears. Unfortunately, they do not serve iced tea.
