We are from out of town so 1st strike was the large sign says Culleys, not Big Mike's, so that was confusing. Then they had no brisket which is on the menu. No unsweet tea made, then it was so weak is tasted like water. Out of 10 tables, only 2 had napkin dispensers that were not emtpy. Our food came and they only gave us each a 1/2 of a tiny container of ketchup. When I asked for more they were out. They had to go down to the grocery store to buy some. The fountain drinks were out as well. Over all the bbq was very good, but the experince sucked. Hopefully they will get more organized because the food is good.

Little hole in the wall place. Got dinner during an over night on the road. Fantastic ribs and the sides were great too. Sweet tea on point.

Reminded me of overpriced state fair food. Formerly Culley’s, under new management and now listed on Door Dash as Big Mike’s BBQ. As an out of towner searching for a bbq joint online, I was surprised that the BBQ wasn’t more flavorful. I ordered the brisket nachos(can cheese) and the brisket plate. The brisket didn’t taste smoked but more like a precooked entree from the big box store. The same goes for the potato salad and the baked beans. It wasn’t bad just not what I had in mind when I spent $12 & $17. The brisket also came with only one slice and dressed on a bun which would’ve been great if I had ordered a brisket poboy. I was not incentivized at all to return. Thankfully the owner and staff was pleasant, the bathroom and restaurant itself was spotless. The restaurant needs a real grill master on deck to make this place a winner because it’s in such a great location.

As we got out of the car in this strip mall restaurant, the first thing I said was “I don’t smell any hickory or pecan wood smoke.” Well, that must’ve been the case because both my brisket and chicken lacked any smoke or bbq flavor at all. It seemed both items had been merely baked in an oven. The potato salad was of the mustard variety, which I prefer with bbq, but it lacked any discernible mustard flavor at all. It was very bland and all I could really taste was onion. The beans ? They were on par with the chicken as they had no meat in them at all. Not even a trace. They were poured straight out of a can and heated up on a stove. Had to be. When I’m thinking smoked or bbq chicken, I’m thinking of that dark brown skin on the outside and pink, smoky chicken inside. I’m telling you that chicken was baked. Or at least cooked in an electric smoker with little to no wood chips. Not only that, it had to be the smallest leg quarter to ever come off the farm. The leg was hardly bigger than my thumb. The wife had loaded tater tots that were topped with brisket, bbq sauce and I guess cheese. Most have been some sort of white cheese. Anyway, when she was done picking all the fat out of her plate, she had very little brisket left at all. Instead of Texas toast, you get a thin slice of barely toasted dry white great value Walmart bread with your meal. I know for a fact that Mississippi knows good bbq. There are some people in Mississippi that take bbq to the level of being a science. This just wasn’t the case at Culleys when I visited. Maybe it was the cooks on duty that day, I don’t know. All I know is that we didn’t have a five star experience at all like most people are claiming here. Bland food. Sticky and broken tables and seats and oh yeah, they had no ribs. Imagine , no ribs at a bbq restaurant.

Zero Customer Service!!
1/18/2024 will be the last day I order from "Mikes BBQ" again.
Please have paper menus available or put the 6 x 9-foot menu sign on the wall closer to the register so customers can have it for ordering purposes since the complacent employee that cannot answer too many questions.
If someone is in line behind me, I can't see the menu to order through people.
Also, I do not want the cup for my drinks handed to me to roll off the counter and on to the floor before I finish placing my order then told after I order and pay that I will be 15 mins before I receive my food because you have to fry it.
Please do not pick young adults with no experience in customer service or product services to manage your restaurant when you are away!!!
That has never greeted or spoken to me, or that cannot even give a smile day to day the other times I have come in there before Mike BBQ.
What you will get is rolling of the eyes or stares from across the counter like she annoyed to help you or no eye contact at all you stand there wondering who's coming to take your order after 7 mins waiting at the register. While she talks on her air pods to her friend's making food with no hair net on. No gloves, No apron, Nothing.
I'm almost positive she does not have a server completed class posted after the amount of time she worked there and what I've seen each time I've been here.
She will prompt up at the register take your order while re-twisting her dreads and passing you, your cup to fill up yourself but still no smile no thanks nothing. Even Taco Casa made your drink previously there. Don't worry if you take too long deciding, she got her phone right there to text while you try and finish ordering. She is the rudest and the most unprofessional waitress every single time I go in here. She does not want to have to deal with working with the public at all. But she wants a tip .
Even the Door Dash person said as I was leaving. She is always like that. NASTY ATTUIDE and RUDE. Probably bc she heard her yelling at me from the register as I'm walking out the door with a toddler, because i said i was just going to go if she didn't want to help me. She replied you got all these questions.
Maybe you shouldn't have all those questions. NO Call from owner after contacting him. SO ill post it here.

BEWARE! The positive reviews MUST BE from the business itself.Because!This is the WORST food on the planet! Horrible tasteless food! My ribs were old, dry and jerky two hours after opening.My chicken was extremely dry, burnt, bland and tasteless with feathers still on.My fries were oil logged and dirty looking. My salad was wet and not fresh. My toast was dry and hard.Eat here at your own risk.I just fed mine to the outside stray cats and they sniffed it and walked away from it.Something is wrong with the cook and the food.

The girls are so nice & ready to answer any questions you have. They even gave me some good suggestions on what to try my first time there. The ribs are FALL OFF THE BONE & JUICY ! The pulled pork is NOT dry. The BBQ sauce is perfect. ALL the sides are delicious. Oh & you MUST try the salads; they are LOADED! Only thing I would say is the BBQ plate(s) portions are small for the prices & they are expensive however I don’t mind paying for it.
I tried Culley’s for the first time today. I had a 6 piece wings with some baked beans and fries. I had enough for lunch AND dinner left. It was so good!!!! I think I’m going to get this for my lunch at work from now on. Awesome place😊

Being from KC I have high expectation when it comes to barbecue. We stopped here because of the ratings. I ordered the chili cheese fries with brisket. Kinda bland but was ok. Brisket was tender. I could have done without the bbq sauce. Hubby also thought his sausage sandwich and fish lacked flavor. I’ll give an extra star for the friendly staff.
