A great place for a pre-game meal on a Saturday afternoon! Be prepared for a long line, but it moves well and it's worth the wait!

Very nice place to enjoy some bbq. Came to see the Tennessee vs Mississippi state football game and was encouraged to enjoy a pregame meal here. It’s a very traditional old school bbq joint. The owner was very friendly to us from Tennessee.

It's a kinda cool looking place but the food is definitely less than mediocre. The ribs were way over cooked and dry. The onion rings were also so overcooked they were like eating dry wood. The brisket was passible but a bit too dry for my taste. It was 6:30pm when I got there so I sure didn't expect to be served end of the night food. I've had better BBQ in SO many places both North and South. This was supremely disappointing. The college students running the place couldn't have cared less about the customer. I shouldn't blame them as management seemed to be nonexistent too. Maybe they just stopped caring. Don't waste your time or money here.

The young lady that was checking us out at the counter was so full of life, friendly, helpful, AND she was still learning!? I look forward to coming back just for her service!!! The food was good as well, a little too smoky for my taste but my daughter said it wasn't bad. I would not order the sweet potato fries they were soggy and droopy and not at all tasty.

Great little place for an amazing meal! Catfish po-boy and okra was great. 2 year update, the triple threat is awesome. My go-to place whenever I'm in town!

Loved the food. The barbecue sauce was about the best I've ever had. The only thing that prevented me from really enjoying my visit was that the area where you order food had a foul odor, like urine.

Being new to the area, I decided to have dinner and stay for drinks when they opened the bar on a weekend night. First, the dinner was incredibly subpar. I was expecting some great southern BBQ, but was super unimpressed by the quality. Second, the service when you walk up to the counter to order was absolutely horrendous. I ordered with a smile on my face and even left extra for a tip, but was treated like a complete inconvenience. The person working the register refused to look at my group got super frustrated when I ordered a beer and she had to check my ID. Ignoring that, my friends and I decided to stay put and headed outside to the bar once the restaurant closed. The DJ and bartenders were the best part of my experience. The atmosphere was fun and they had a lot of outside space to hang out. After a few drinks we got an Uber to another bar, so I left my car in their huge parking lot. While I thought I was doing the responsible thing, I did not realize they have a contract with the worst towing company in town. The next morning I go to pick up my car right as the restaurant opened, but it had already been towed. I tried calling every police station in town because they legally have to report a towing, but they could not tell me where it was taken. After numerous calls to the restaurant, I was finally able to speak to a manager about the situation. He informed me that he specifically called the towing company on me even after I explained that I had been a paying customer and did not want to move my car in fear of drinking and driving. Essentially, I was told that I should have risked it and moved the car. The towing company they partner with charges college kids $300 (sometimes more because their prices are never consistent) and the owner lets them! This is an ongoing problem I have noticed while living here with money-hungry business owners in Starkville. I acknowledge the frustration with random cars parking in their lot, but to tow the car of a paying (and good tipping) customer who was doing the responsible thing is inexcusable. I have not gone back to the restaurant since, and will continue to tell people my age to avoid that place!

Not too fond of the new policy that requires you to order the rib tip basket in house. People who only have a short lunch, do not have the time to wait for the order to be fulfilled. Was told the rib tip baskets were only for in store customers. Not very happy with being told my money isn't welcomed for a to-go order. Would love for a representative to reach out to me for an explanation.
We have to visit everytime we are in Starkville. Food is delicious.
Lots of flies buzzing around this time was the only downside.

Don't leave Starkville without visiting Little Dooey! They have it all! Seafood, BBQ, steak, burgers, chicken, salad, and so much more. Good variety.
