What a great hidden gem! We had the catfish, ribs and brisket. Very tasty. Owners are wonderful…just a fun, laid back place. Recommend checking it out.

This place is a gem! Went here looking for a good BBQ spot to have food catered and decided to try a bit of it all. The ribs are delicious! Fall off the bone and that sauce... OMG! The chicken was good, collard greens reminded me of my grandmothers greens I'd give them a 8/10 only because I like a lil heat in my greens. The best baked beans hands down! I usually don't eat alot of baked beans and I tore them down. The sausage was amazing, juicy and tender. I could eat a sausage sandwich alone with their sausage. Great conversation, nice atmosphere, and impeccable customer service. Will be back when we come to town again
Ordered wings. Was serves 6 flats that looked like they came from immature chickens and were overly seasoned. Staff rude and acted as if they didn't want to be bothered. They also didn't have anything on the menu available for order. After taking a bite, I threw the chicken in the trash and walked down the street to another restaurant where the service more than made up for the bad taste left in my mouth from Not so Pleasant's BBQ.

Great food,great people. Come here,eat whatever you choose,enjoy!
A long time family that has been the main barbecue place in Jackson county and dare I say the Gulf Coast because the flavor is outstanding but I especially like their potato salad. It is awesome you will not be disappointed and they don't overcharge their lunch menu is excellent and very very
Was in Ocean Springs to vend an art event, came from out of state, was my first time in town. Went out walking around their little downtown area that afternoon looking for some laid back place to get off my feet, have a bite to eat and maybe a cold beer. There's a lot of options, but mostly there were a little on the bougie side, or packed with college kids, or both... I started asking some local folks, and was told by this real cool old cat that he knew just the place, gave me directions, and after a couple blocks I could smell that sweet smoky smell wafting in the air well before I could see the place...literally followed my nose. Didn't look like much from the outside and there weren't many cars out front...which was perfect. I asked the guy who gave me directions what was good there, he Say's well it's all pretty good, but the ribs were where it was at, so that's what I ordered. Extra sauce. The menu options list fairly short..like you'd expect with good BBQ, it Qasim pretty a really laid back little place, nothing fancy...TV on the wall playing the LSU game, couple of guys sitting around ...exactly the kind of place to eat in peace. The owner was very nice, good natured and personable, we chatted while I waited for the order, asked where I was from and what brought me to town, southern hospitality at it's finest. As we chatted I mentioned how much I love BBQ, and the best I ever had came from up in Winona Mississippi, and he says Ah nah, that's just cause you haven't had mine yet with a big ol grin and a twinkle in his eye...just like would expect a restaurant owner to say. My order arrives, and the foam container was slap full, and it looked amazing, smelled even better. The owner and they guy who brought it out are both sitting there watching with big ol grins waiting to see what I thought and you could tell these guys are really proud of their BBQ and passionate about what they do...and rightly so! Because he was right! It was without a doubt the best rack of ribs I had ever tried , and their sauce is outstanding. When I told them that they starting laughing, slapping each other on the back, saying see? I told ya ! I had to shake that man's hame after that. This was a couple years ago, and I still tell everybody If you go to Ocean Springs, you GOTTA try the BBQ from Pleasant's. The food is the phenomenal, The price is right, and they'll treat you like family there. Five stars.Vegetarian options: It's a BBQ joint, so your vegetarian options are : some coleslaw maybe, or option no.2: the door.

Sorry to say huge disappointment. We've been to a few BBQ's & we don't really care for smoked. I had the chicken & it was supposed to be grilled but didn't taste like it at all. I should have specified white meat or breast. I got a drumstick & don't like them at all. The cole slaw was decent. The worst part is my husband ordered a half of ribs but never got them. My food came & was wondering what happened to his. We finally asked & the waitor misunderstood & thought he only wanted potato salad. Why would he not eat dinner? Made no sense. So he gave us a to go bag to take home. My chicken had this awful BBQ sauce on it. I wish it was on the side. We tried the ribs & we didn't enjoy them at all. The Shed is so much better by far. The restaurant was so tiny also you could hardly fit many people. There is a large parking lot & it was full. To our surprise we were the only ones. They also close way too early for our liking. We will definitely not return. We expected a much better tasting meal. Sorry to say it was not to our taste.

We came back to one of our favorite BBQ restaurants after 10yrs of being away. It is even better than I remember. We are so glad we got to have the amazing brisket and sides again!

A marked improvement over the last time I was there. Clean and well maintained with no roaches running around. Service is quick and accurate Al's staff has great suggestions for items. Food is flavorful and has plenty of smoke, and sauces enhance the taste.
