Fast service and friendly vibes at this long-time community staple BBQ joint. The meat portion was…read moreon the smaller side, but it was delicious--and honestly, I appreciated that. It came at a fair price and left me satisfied without feeling overstuffed. The sides were the real standouts for me--the beans and slaw were excellent. My only minor gripe was the lack of a sweet sauce option. At my table, there was mild, hot, and vinegar sauce, but nothing on the sweeter side. I probably should've asked if they had one. Overall, though, it was a very pleasant experience, and I'll definitely be back whenever I'm in the area.

My only complaint is that it's SO juicy that the buns get soggy. Would I go back? Yes. Would I live there if they let me sleep in the sauce pantry? Also yes. Highly recommend if you love food that smells like it was made with love, sweat, and possibly a little bit of divine intervention. Oh! One more thing! Somebody give Earnest a raise.

I suppose if you call yourself #1 and have tons of plaques and trophies everywhere then your food better be damn good. The sides were not great and barely good. The baked beans with meat was the standout, the coleslaw (vinegar with lite mayo) was good and the potato salad was a bland, tasteless mayonnaise mess. Overall sides I tried were C-/D. The three meats: outstanding ribs, weird pulled brisket (not listed that way on the menu) has a flavoring that was nice for 2-3 bites but then I didn't want anymore, and the dry pulled pork, although not grizzly or fatty, was not great and barely good. In addition, there's only two sauces and one of them was very honey based, and you could taste it the other was hot, but not the kind of hot that hit your tongue right away but sort of last in your throat and lingers. All in all I wouldn't be rushing back here for anything that I had with the exception of the ribs, which again or the outstanding dish

While seeking an exceptional spot for lunch in Starkville today, I stumbled upon The Little Dooey,…read moreand it proved to be a thoroughly delightful discovery! Though the venue is intimate in size, the decor is delightfully charming, creating a wonderfully authentic and inviting atmosphere. I was seated in a cozy, private section that offered the perfect setting for a quiet, relaxed luncheon. The ambiance and overall vibe were simply marvelous. The service was top-tier from start to finish attentive, remarkably gracious, and warm. To accompany my meal, I ordered a classic, crisp Coca-Cola served ice-cold. For my course, I selected the fried catfish accompanied by fries. When the platter arrived, it was an absolute triumph! The catfish was cooked to flawless perfectio crisp, tender, extraordinarily fresh, and seasoned with real mastery. It made for a deeply comforting and completely satisfying meal that exceeded every expectation. Between the pristine preparation, charming atmosphere, and flawless hospitality, The Little Dooey earns absolute full marks from me. A complete success I shall most certainly be returning whenever I am in town

We stopped in for lunch while in town for MSU student orientation. This is a local well known…read moreestablishment and there were many locals inside. The parking can be interesting and the signage is very confusing because it says permit parking...we weren't sure if that was for patrons or not. When you enter the establishment, you are overwhelmed with signage asking you to make sure and close the door and various other signs. With that being said, we did not see the sign that said they were out of all drinks with the exception of tea. It would have been nice to be told that when we ordered a soft drink You order as soon as you walk in and then they bring the food to the table. This is a little overwhelming as you can not see the menu until your turn to place the order and with the line forming behind you, that can be stressful. The food is decent, but nothing spectacular. My son had the pulled pork sandwich with Mac n cheese and enjoyed it. My husband had the 2 piece catfish platter and while he enjoyed it, it wasn't the best he has ever had. He said he would probably try something else if we come back. I had the pulled pork grilled cheese with onion rings and I really enjoyed my meal. There was a good amount of pulled pork with some yummy pimento cheese and it was toasted perfectly. The onion rings had a nice light batter, but were served perfectly crisp. I would definitely order my meal again if we come back and the portion was so large that my husband and I thought we could definitely split it. Overall, not the best meal we had in Starkville, but we would come back if others wanted to give it a try.

The ribs were not quite ready, yet, so I did the Rib Tips and Wings. Such tasty morsels of pork! No sauce needed! And lots of them! Just the right amount of smoke and rub. Wings were smoky and tender and juicy! Was able to talk with Daniel for a few minutes. Now I know one of the best pit masters around!
