Sad .........They Would Serve Ribs This Burnt! I had to throw them away.
Corey M.

I had tried a Central BBQ once before and was not impressed. I held my judgment in case it was just an off day for them. This was the Memphis location. The food was dry and tasteless then. I was excited we were getting one in Southaven. My excitement was short lived. I ordered the half rack of ribs with two sides. My sides were turnip greens and baked beans. It was a "To Go Order" They got off to a bad start after waiting almost 45 minutes to get our food. This place is very slow! Its new so I gave them that. I wasnt real happy about the price of $32 for my half rack with two sides. It got worse after we got home. I pulled my ribs from a little foil lined bag. The ribs were black! I mean these things were completely burnt and so dry I couldnt even eat them. For that kind of money I would never do that to a customer! The sides were in these little baby cups like what you might get for extra sauce. I could not believe how small the sides portion was. The beans were the best part of my meal and thats not saying much! Especially since there were about three good bites in the thimble sized container. The greens lacked any kind of seasoning and were very bland. To sum things up. This was by far the worst meal I have had in a very long time. I think this is my first one star review. They should be ashamed serving me completely burned ribs! Take a look at my photos. Im not even exaggerating a little! I would not eat here again for any reason!

Fires time here and it reminds me of a Bbq place we have here in St Louis. The place is immaculately clean and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. They have a nice variety of food and side options so you can surely fine something you like. Had the Pulled Pork plate with 2 sides and it was great . The lord was smoked perfectly and ok so tender and the mild sauce was the best. Potato salad was good and the bbq beans were fantastic. If you like bbq give them a try and have a great tasty lunch.

Jerked Smoked Chicken Wings

I don't have a lot to say but the BBQ is the best! The quality, quantity, seasoning, ingredients and price is top tier!! Everything is tender, moist, and full of flavor! You can taste the smoked in every bite!! The atmosphere is family friendly, casual date night and hanging with friends. The service is always fast, friendly and welcoming. The shell on the salad is delicious!! The dry rub on the smoked turkey is pure delicious! Now hear me clearly you can not get these jerk wings no where else in this city! No restaurant can match the flavor these bad boys dish out! The location is always clean and Desoto County is extremely pleased to welcome the #1 best BBQ to the area!!

I haven't done a review for Huey's in quite some time. I figured it was time for an update. I…read moreconsider Huey's in Southaven "Old Faithful. I have never really gotten anything bad at Huey's ad the service is always good. I absolutely love their spinach and artichoke. Dip. I also love their soups. My wife and I stopped in before a show. I started out with the soup of the day. It was a white bean with chicken and chili. I know that don't sound great....lol...But let me tell you that was a very good soup. It had a very unique flavor. My wife got her usual steak on a stick. She said it was very tender and flavorful. She also got a order of The Onion rings. If you like the big onion rings, you can't go wrong. I got the Reuben sandwich and onion straws. It was hands down one of the best Reuben's I've had in quite some time. I highly recommend Southaven Huey's. if you want a good meal for a good price you can't go wrong here. Oh, and be sure to try the soup of the day you won't be disappointed. The inside is always very nice and clean. They have lived music occasionally and a full bar. It's just an all around fun place to go in my opinion.

So it was my very first time ever going there. I was greeted with a smile at the bar and I ordered…read morethe World Famous Burger with no cheese. I ordered Well Done. Every thing was good and I even gave a nice tip to the bartender. It only took 15 minutes and I was walking out the door. I went and parked at another location and took one bite out and it was medium well done, not well done. I could only eat the fries and just went to Jersey Mikes to get me an Italian Sub. They have never failed me. I'm not one to take food back to a restaurant after I leave. I didn't feel like it. I just want go back. The restaurant Huey's I heard is Awesome. People make mistakes. I just chalked this up as a loss and want return.

My Wife and Daughter had tickets for Cowboy Troy News Years Night. I dropped them off so they could…read moredrink and have a good time. She said they had a great time and the ambiance was also great! To bad that cant be said about the food. I called in a order for the Roast Beef sandwich with their version of some thick seasoned curved potatoes. I also got a bowl of the Lobster Bisque. After dropping them off. I got home with my food and opened the box. I found what looked like a very good sandwich with some au jus. The potatoes also looked very good. I started with the Lobster Bisque. This was the most horrible tasting Bisque I have ever had. It didnt have any Lobster in it and had a very weird, almost sour taste (Not Good At All!) I decided to try the RB sandwich. Unfortunately it was soooooo salty that I couldn't eat it. The au jus was oddly very bland. The potatoes were also extremely salty. I have had things a little overly salty before and just worked through it. This sandwich was so salty it burned my tongue! I could not belive it. The two stars are for the bar and venue. If based on the food I received. It wouldn't have gotten even one star. I can honestly say it was by far the worst food I have ever had. If you go for the drinks and music, you will be fine. I would strongly warn you against the food. After talking with my wife. Their food was the same way. Someone their dont know the limits to salt or how to make a proper bisque!

We sat at the bar and the bartender was very attentive. The food was delicious and they actually…read morehad a comedy show going on that night so really a good fun vibe.
