Food was great pretty close to authentic texas brisket definitely the best beef brisket in the GTR area. Poppers was good. The turkey moist. Pork belly needed to be a tad warmer. Prices a tad high for what you get (in the picture is almost $40…about twice as high as brisket from texas, but it is local) . Will go back

Let start by saying the food was good, it is however, super expensive. Good, but not the best bbq I've ever eaten. We spent $50 and I left hungry. 1/4 of brisket is two slices.

A Casual barbecue joint in downtown Starkville. Seats about 20 or 30 people. Really good brisket and ribs. The sides are really good. The only thing I wish they had was hot barbecue sauce. They have different flavors and some of them are spicy, but I mean temperature hot. Their sauce is room temperature. Otherwise it’s a great place to eat and we eat there often when we go back to Starkville.

Perfect place to stop for some delicious BBQ in Starkville. We enjoyed pulled pork, chopped brisket and three sides. Sides were collard greens, jalapeño slaw and some of the best beans I’ve ever had. Picking only 3 sides was hard - took leftovers home! Atmosphere was quintessential BBQ chic. Lots of beer on ice to great you as you enter. Very friendly and helpful staff. Well worth the stop - and even worth a detour!

Excellent food, excellent service, highly recommend! The Hatch chili mac and cheese and the warmed potato salad were great. Brisket was cooked to perfection, tender without excess fat, and generous portions. The burrito with half brisket and half barria meat (recommended by the meat guy) was amazing and HUGE. This burrito took up a to go box even after I ate ¼ of it. 5/5 recommend, been several times and have always had exceptional food and experience.

Amazing Texas BBQ. It’s set up just like they do in Texas where you go thru the line, pick sides, then meat and others. Food is full of flavor and super juicy. The Turkey is my favorite!

I drove 45minutes to have dinner there and it was closed at 6pm on Wednesday! Might be nice if you updated your website!!!

The macaroni is fire. It’s supposed to be spicy but it’s not really. The creamed corn is not what you typically think of creamed corn. It’s whole kernel corn in the creamy jalapeño sauce. Jalapeño coleslaw is all good until you bit into the actual jalapeño!. The brisket I noticed that the top half above the fat line was salty. The mustard sauce did help with the saltiness.

Tri tip is tasty. The potato salad is good so is the mustard slaw. It's kind of expensive, we cook like this often enough, but it's really tasty. The only place we've been to that gets the flavors right. I suspect we'll be back unless we decide to cook at home.

If you have not been here you HAVE to go! This is by far the best bbq place around. The brisket was amazing! I got the jalapeño coleslaw as a side and it was so delicious. My husband got the baked beans and macaroni and loved both. We were given a sample of the brisket chili and it was absolutely delicious! My new favorite place to eat in Starkville! Prices are also very reasonable!
