I arrived to see quite a line forming so I hop in line and check out the menu. It's pretty simple...pork is the main emphasis here and whole hog BBQ is the name of the game.

I love how you have the option to get mayo OR vinegar slaw on your sandwich PLUS it's a fine chop and the sweet BBQ sauce is great. I got to see some of the hogs heading into the smokehouse...pretty cool setup. The food here is great and the service at the window for your order was efficient and friendly.

We sat outside at the picnic tables and had a nice conversation with Helen's husband. He asked where we were from (Chicago) and gave us marriage advice lol. The food and general atmosphere made me feel at home again and gave me nostalgia since I grew up nearby and haven't quite found a good BBQ place in Chicago. If you want good BBQ made with love, check this place out. FYI - cash only - so stop by an ATM before you get there.

Helen's came in #15 in Southern Living's 2019 ranking of the top 50 southern BBQ restaurants. The…read morefirst thing to be said is that the price point here is phenomenal. $18.80 purchased a St. Louis style rib platter (3 ribs) with required sides of baked beans, coleslaw and potato salad, and a regular pork sandwich "Memphis style." The pork and its mild sauce worked well with the coleslaw, and the ribs and their hot sauce were tasty while separating cleanly at the bite. The mashed potato salad complemented the ribs well, but not so the baked beans, which tasted like they had come straight out of a can. Since the sides are mandatory, a little more effort here would be welcome. In sum, we judged this to be decent but not awesome BBQ, especially given the limited scale of the menu.

The benches for the booths need some serious reupholstering! We chose to sit at a table. I love the rustic wood. We ordered the special for the day which included a sandwich, a side and a drink. We both ordered the Yard Bird with Alabama sauce. I really enjoyed it but my husband said it was so so. He doesn't like mayo. I enjoyed the flavor and the slight kick. All in all it was a good meal and the employees were very friendly. We would eat here again. I would like to recommend that you grill your buns, as the cold, dry bun kind of made it less tasty.

You've just entered the western city limits of Jackson on I-40. And you might think a barbecue food truck adjacent to an interstate popular for truckers couldn't be that good. But the truck drivers know what they're doing. And so do locals and other motorists who decide that exiting I-40 for barbecue is worth it. Because it is! Exit 87 BBQ is indeed smoking legit barbecue overlooking I-40 as numerous people drive by. And they have a whole bevy of smokers to prove it. The brisket is tender and flavorful with crispy edges. The pulled pork is just as good, maybe even better. You can choose between spicy and regular barbecue sauce. And refrigerated units are filled with numerous drink options and various cheesecakes. This roadside stop really surprised me and I would definitely go again!

I have had the pleasure of visiting Trolinger's in Paris, TN on numerous occasions, and I must say…read morethat it always exceeds my expectations. From the moment I pulled into the parking lot the first time, I knew that this was going to be a special place. The gas station itself is fairly unassuming, with a large parking lot and a simple, straightforward design. But as soon as I walked through the doors, I was immediately struck by the size of the store. It was absolutely enormous, with rows and rows of shelves stocked full of all sorts of goods, from snacks and drinks to household supplies and even clothing. But what really set Trolinger's apart for me was the deli and smokehouse. The aroma of slow-smoked barbecue filled the air, and my mouth started watering as soon as I walked in. The selection of meats was impressive, with everything from pulled pork and ribs to brisket and chicken. And the sides were equally mouthwatering, with options like baked beans, coleslaw, and mac and cheese. But the real star of the show was the barbecue sauce. Made in-house with a vinegar base, it was unlike any barbecue sauce I had ever tasted. It had just the right balance of sweetness and tanginess, and the flavor really elevated the already delicious meats. I couldn't get enough of it, and I ended up bringing a bottle home with me. In addition to the barbecue, the deli also had a fantastic selection of sandwiches and other dishes. The freshly-sliced ham sandwich was particularly noteworthy, with a creamy dressing and served on fresh, soft bread. And the ribs were some of the best I've ever had, with a crispy, golden crust and moist, flavorful flesh. But the real standout at Trolinger's was the pulled pork sandwich. The quality of the smoking was top-notch, with each bite somehow juicier than the last; perfectly cooked and infused with the rich, smoky flavor that only comes from hours of low and slow cooking. Overall, my experience at Trolinger's is always outstanding. The store itself was impressive, with a wide selection of goods and a friendly, helpful staff. But it was the deli and smokehouse that really stole the show, with their delicious barbecue, sandwiches, and smoked meats. If you're ever in the Paris, TN area, I highly recommend stopping by Trolinger's for a truly unforgettable meal.

We were there at 5:30 on a Saturday night and no one was there, no music, no vibe- we actually asked if they could play some music because it was lame. The waitress actually told us the food is left over and warmed up because they are closed on Sundays and Friday night is usually busy because of the band.
