I purchased a ribtip plate on today. Mind you I was the first person in line at 11:00, so why was the meat cold and look like straps. I guess I got the left overs from last night! ☹️

Basically Me
Now if you came to the comments to see if the food was good, I'm just going to say yes. it's good but I will say the reason why I gave it a three is because of the atmosphere or the area. The building is probably one of the nastiest building I've ever gotten food from. They have booths but they look really old and some have holes in them The building literally looks like an abandoned building on the inside. The wait is also always super long. I went recently but it's been years since I've been and if memory serves me right, the wait has always been extremely long. I believe it always takes over and out but it could be the times we usually choose to pick up food. I went on a Saturday around 5:00 p.m. The way it may be shorter on some days but this time it was about hour and a half. Also the building may look run down but that doesn't mean it's dirty. It's always clean but it's just always run down looking. and the part at the front where they have the grill doesn't look as run down to me is the back. It's just the back where people waited that looks extremely creepy. I probably wouldn't go back unless guests requested it, as they did this time, but I will say I am always glad to have a plate of their wings and fries.

E&L barbecue always taste great I love the pulled pork sandwich and turkey legs are delicious. Don’t forget to get you a ribs plate with baked beans and potato salad. Friendly people who treat every customer with smile. Best barbecue in Mississippi love this restaurant A+

It’s EL’s kind a staple for me. The best thing by far to me is their hot link sausages. These are special! They are better than some at a multi million dollar business out in Texas…I just ate at with a couple plate for two avg 100.00 plus. Anyways , I like EL BBQ, they keep a security guard on duty. He’s a Gen xer or boomer. The rib tips are also very good.

I recently visited E & L barbecue and unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. I ordered a combination of ribs, rib tips, and a hot link, expecting a great meal, but it didn’t meet basic barbecue standards.
The ribs and rib tips tasted like they were either broiled or boiled, with no evidence of having been grilled over charcoal. The flavor just wasn’t there, and it lacked that smoky, grilled taste you expect from good barbecue. The sauce was another letdown—extremely thin and lacked depth. To top it off, the hot link crumbled when I bit into it, which was strange and unpleasant.
I’m from Chicago Suburb so I may have different expectations when it comes to barbecue, but this meal was far below average. I was definitely disappointed and wouldn’t recommend or return to this place.

This was some of the worse bbq I’ve ever had I ordered the rib tip plate with the 2 sides I got baked beans and potato salad the rib tips looked more like strips and was extremely fatty the baked beans were so tangy you could barely eat them the potatoe salad was ok overall it was TRASH,Jackson Ms

The food we order was horrible and what I think that it was leftovers from Saturday because they’re not open on Mondays and actually the grill smoker was not even smoking so therefore it was leftover from Saturday. I have been trying to reach since Monday and actually, I’ve been calling today. They won’t even answer the phone, but that’s OK because I don’t live in Jackson. I don’t have to ever go there again which I won’t because it was out of my way. I do know that ever since that other Cook left a few years ago they have not been the same, not even close, cause I know what they’re doing all they don’t sell before the day that they are closed. They serve it the next day that they’re open and it is a safety hazard. The food was horrible. The fries was old. The meat was old.
E&L never gets old, very tasty.
