So, honestly, I am between giving it four and five stars. For a small place attached to a gas station, the catfish was pretty good. Though they didn't have tartar sauce or hot sauce. I also grabbed what I thought was ketchup and it was strawberry jam. The catfish was lukewarm and my French fries and okra were cold, but they are out under a lamp. The service was friendly and if the catfish was hot, it would have been great. Lukewarm it was still good. I guess that I would give them another shot. Maybe ask for it to be made fresh. Prices are good. I guess factoring in the price, I will go with five stars. read more

In Oxford for my daughter's softball tournament and was looking for a place to have lunch during a break. Saw this little barbecue place attached to a gas station a couple miles away from the fields. Nothing special and the definition of a hole in the wall. Service was quick and polite. Once you ordered, you paid at the register of the gas station. They had a few tables to sit down and eat. Definitely a good value for what you get, a decent amount of fries and okra and two pieces of fish for 11 bucks. That included tax. Would definitely recommend it. The chicken looked pretty decent and so did some of the other stuff. Pretty standard southern fried food but I would definitely take it over Fast food place. It hit the spot during a long day of softball. read more

I have tasted BBQ from all over the place and let me tell you...this place is FANTASTIC! Anyone leaving a review less than 5 stars is lying to you. I wish they shipped because I would definitely order for delivery. It's that good! The people are really nice too! read more

No better barbecue in all of Oxford! The ribs and catfish are their specialty. Service is very fast, and the vibe is about what you would expect from a barbecue joint at a gas station. read more

B's is absolutely fantastic. Smoked Chicken is the best in the world. Everything else is great too. Highly recommend and just because it's connected to a gas station.....don't let it fool you. Get there early as they do run out....... read more

Only had breakfast here but have heard the BBQ is really good. I see some negative reviews on the brisket, but who buys brisket in Mississippi? Pulled pork man! Get your brisket in Texas. Breakfast is just like your grandmother made it, eggs your way, grits, biscuits with gravy, bacon or sausage, etc. I thought it was just as good as "all the other" breakfast places in Oxford and reasonably priced. read more

It's great catfish, the service is impeccable, very fast food, it's in a gas station and that's very cool. The entire idea of ambiance in this place is kinda funny because it's in a gas station and it has awesome bbq. read more

Don't underestimate gas station. This place is a Oxford tradition for a reason. Best ribs in the state for sure. Get sauce if you want it, but it is so good you won't need it. The cook line ladies are fun and funny. And it is definitely the fastest meal in oxford. read more

For Oxford it is alright with large portions at a decent price. The "BBQ" brisket doesn't really seem like BBQ to me but more like huge slab of meat that was cooked in the oven so definitely more of a Memphis style than a Texas style brisket. I first started eating at this place long ago when they were at their first location near the highway and this most recent visit was the first time I have tried it again since I left Oxford back in 2003 and it still tastes exactly the same. read more

Awesome BBQ, chill, friendly and clean despite being attached to a gas station. Iconic place everyone should hit up when in Oxford, MS!

This has been my go to place for 10 years and prior to a couple of months ago only had one prior bad experience. I went about a month ago and it wasn't the same - I thought maybe it was an off day. Went back today and it was the same as before - not what it once was. Portion size half of what it was before, food not fully cooked, price about 30 percent higher and new employees without the same heart of appreciation for customers. The food was not the same. I mentioned to the cashier at check out and he said he has heard from other customers also. read more

I love this place. It is the crown jewel of gas station restaurants. The ladies that serve you your delicious barbecue platter always greet you with a nickname such as "sugar", "sweetie", or "honey" before asking you what you want to eat. It's that southern hospitality that makes this dining experience truly worth it. So, come and get yourself a brisket plate and a sweet tea (and okra too!) to remind yourself why you love living in Mississippi. read more

The best part of my meal here was the canned Coca-Cola I had because their soda machine has the flattest soda this side of the Mississippi. The food is...underwhelming. Maybe it's because I come from Kansas City, but the brisket here is so bland. Felt like I was eating meat cardboard. read more

Arrived at 8:01... sign on door stayed hours 6:00 am to 9:00 pm. I walked inside and the girl behind the counter said "we closed"! I said it's 8:01... she said we close at 9 pm. I reminded her again of the time... and she said "we need time to close up! Horrible horrible horrible service. Misleading customers. Management needs to state correct hours of operation on door and/or be willing to serve customers during the stated time. Pitiful. read more

I HAVE NEVER EATEN IN A GAS STATION BEFORE. i mean like sit down. so when i first arrived i said 2 things: i want grits & i want fried okra. THIS IS WHERE I GOT FRIED OKRA. it was sooooo good. i also got some crazy sausagey thing which was also good. (my only issue was that we went on a sunday lunch time so it was church families which is fine but my hungover friend & i were honestly like in a sea of kids with our sunglasses on and i was dying) now i shall never say no to gas station food AGAIN! read more

Best BBQ chicken I've ever had...I've been trying to duplicate or find a restaurant to fill the void if not being closer to B's since I left. I think they use a dry rub? read more

First time here, stopped for lunch. Don't be deceived by its unassuming location in a gas station. I had the chicken and it was possibly the best smoked chicken ever. My mate was satisfied with the pulled pork sandwich -- also delish. Sides were fine. read more

Super tasty. Definitely get the ribs if you like dry rub style. You can also get a vinegary sauce on the side to make them as wet or dry as you like. Get the baked beans as a side -- they are DIVINE. Will definitely be returning. read more

Down home people with down home food. Quick service at a great price for the portions. My problem is that I could make the food so much better myself at home. The potatoes are definitely instant and seem watery. With all the business they get, it seems they could make fresh mashed potatoes without losing that much money in the long run. All the meat is way too dry. All that being said, I still find myself eating because of convenience and wanting to support a great local business. read more

I am not an expert on BBQ, or southern food, but I know what I like. I rather enjoy this little whole in the wall. No frill's, great staff, and just good food at a great price. I like the dry rub ribs, meat falls right off the bone. It's not a fancy place and they serve comfort food with no frills. As I said I am no expert, but these ladies and gentlemen serve up some great food. Fill you belly and your gas tank, and even get some supplies for fishing . I have never seen gas station food this good until moving to the South.. read more

IMO This place is pretty average, actually I was slightly disappointed when I first eat here after seeing the 4 star ratings. I am not sure that they are not living off their 5 minutes of fame as they were referenced in the "Blindside" and gave up on trying to make something great or they know that they have a captive audience in Oxford. I am sure that their failed location on Jackson took some wind out of their sails, but I truly believe that they may be just coasting on the fact that drunk kids will eat most anything as long as it is fried. Which if this is the case, it is too bad, as I have said before, Oxford needs a Great independent BBQ place. Yes, I have been to both "Double L's" and "The Shack" and I rate them both higher. read more

This is by far the best barbecue I've had in Oxford. Wow. Great food great service and great atmosphere. 5 stars.

Get the Ribs! The Okra and Catfish are pretty good too.

Great barbecue ribs and barbecue - tender and tasty. I go there every time I am in the Oxford area. I go for the food and not the ambiance or the amenities of the facility. You are in the right place if you go for the food. That's what I do. read more
