Hot Pot Restaurants in Hattiesburg, MS

“I'll Start with the Pro's First and I only did the BBQ portion

This place is very clean, food line, tables, floors everything I saw was very clean which is nice. The Interior Design was nice and pleasing. They were well stocked on all the food and you have a lot of options for the price you pay. Food quality is pretty decent. Coming here with a group if this is your normal go to place or even your first time with KBBQ you shouldn't be disappointed. Plenty of veggies, sides, appetizers, even some precooked foods like noodles, chicken, and fried rice. Several sauces to choose from to dip in. Very comfortable chairs, generous table space.

Cons
If you have had Kbbq before from pretty much anywhere else then this will probably be a letdown. They keep a parchment paper on the grill to cook on. As someone who has had to clean grills at a KBBQ, I get it. Its not fun to clean especially during a rush. However, doing so really brought down my enjoyment and experience. Normally I can cook beef brisket super quick, within 2-3 minutes max but instead I am waiting much longer probably 5+ to get it cooked all the way through even longer for the pork. Never cooking on paper before was quite the adjustment and I realized I had undercooked the pork after biting into it. I also like to Sautee my veggies with my meats and I had onions on that grill for about 10 minutes before starting to get good color on them green bell peppers for even longer. I have had KBBQ in Missouri, Louisiana, California, and even in Korea so while it's by no means gross in anyway it's a letdown, if you are experienced with KBBQ you might like it, but I would give it a pass.

TLDR:
First timers, regulars should have no complaints
Veterans to KBBQ - probably skip on this
Did not try the hot pot portion so experience may differ“
