The vibe in this place is cool a music themed, artwork on the walls that makes it feel like somewhere you'd wanna kick back and relax. We didn't go overboard since we were just passing through, but we split an order of the burnt ends, which came with collard greens and mac & cheese, and shared sweet tea. The burnt ends were nice, tender, and had solid flavor. I added a little sweet and spicy sauce from the table, and that did it for me. It was a slow time of day, so it was nice and quiet, real chill. Our waitress stayed on point too, made sure we had everything we needed without hovering. This wasn't a planned stop, but I'm glad we pulled in. I'll definitely be back when I've got time (and room) for a full plate.

They opened one in Florida and when we visited we were just not as impressed and decided we probably wouldn't go back unless it was the original one. While on vacation again, we noticed Vicious Biscuit on the map and decided to give it another try. I'm so glad we did because the food was spot on and delicious. I got the Vicious and my husband got the Flame Thrower. The biscuits are buttery, flaky, and flavorful. Both of ours came with a cheddar jalapeño biscuit and they were exactly as we had remembered when we visited the OG Vicious Biscuit. The chicken, the cowboy candy, and gravy on mine were perfect. The chicken, cowboy candy, and candied bacon on my husband's were equally excellent. Great job on making us wanting to visit again! Vicious Biscuit is once again a stop we'll be looking for on our next road trip!

Strick's has been around for years and is so close to the USM campus that both students and locals keep it going. In addition to various smoked meats they also have some seafood and other menu items like crawfish and poboys. Last time I was there, my wife and I shared some Swap Nachos and it was amazing. They take regular nachos with cheese, then cover it when fried shrimp, then ladle a healthy portion of gumbo over the top to add more shrimp and also sausage. It's so incredibly good with how all the flavors blend together, and quite large. My go-to order and most BBQ places is a combo of brisket and pulled pork, and Strick's does it right. The meat is flavorful with a great bark, plus they have three signature sauces to kick them up if needed. They have various standard sides like baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, and more. Also included is a mini muffin of cornbread, and I always get the jalapeno cheese option. The inside of this place is decorated with a lot of old signage and has a very country feel that perfectly fits the laid back atmosphere and food. You can refill your own drink, which is nice, and their sweet tea is excellent.

It complemented the Redfish. The only thing that I would improve on would be the grits. They were a little dry. My husband ordered the pepperoni pizza and Ashley recommended the pepper jelly with it. We had great service. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend this place.

This place ended up being our choice and no regrets on that. Alexandra did an amazing job explaining the menu and also being patient with our lack of decision making. LOL. We ended up ordering two burgers as the place is named after burgers and blues (nice to hear a Muddy Waters tune coming by as well) - both Bourbon and Downtown burgers were delicious, had a REAL angus Pattie (and that was appreciated by our tastebuds), a nice bun that could be compacted to edible proportions (we have seen way a lot worse in our lives) and all the fixings were fresh. Oh yes, we added an order of fried pickles but did not expect a full-size order, still yummy but hard to stop.... lastly, we ordered the fried apple pie and a coffee to hold us over. Success on that one, that cake is downright dangerous as you cannot eat stop eating it. TOP stuff. Ambiance? It's a burger place in a medium size town and it delivers exactly that, none of the foo foo, but very honest. Great staff, very personable and courteous. 10/10.

For those with food allergies: I didn't ask about frying foods so my son with seafood allergies didn't have their fries.
