The best brisket in the area I've had so far is at Swamp Shack BBQ a short distance away in Ellisville, MS. They seem to often be out of things here and then they have "specials" that they are also often out of which seems to indicate they are very busy usually. This place is definitely VERY popular in the area and it tends to be VERY crowded. They sometimes serve you really huge portions and other times smaller portions. I'm a big fan of Texas style BBQ which the brisket here doesn't seem to resemble the brisket I've had in Texas. Overall it is the best BBQ in Laurel, MS and they do have a cool space which is decorated with all sorts of bling bling inside.

Of course, there is room inside, so I squeezed into a parking spot among all the other cars and squeezed my way into a packed little room. Sound charming? Well, when you are looking for authentic local food, that kind of business at 5 PM on a weekday means that you have found a gem. MS Fried Chicken is exactly what the name states, and they do it great here. I ordered a meal of four pieces (customized: 2 breasts, 2 thighs, they have no problem with mixed orders), sides of okra and beans, an extra side of corn fritters. So the ambiance is crowded and tiny, as I mentioned, and you can see the kitchen pretty well as well as everyone running back and forth. Service was great. Really great. OK, incredible. They were flying through the drive-thrus and the in-persons and the phone calls one by one by one so that I didn't even have to wait 10 minutes before my food was ready. I have no clue how they manage to pull this off day after day, AND at the same time do everything with a smile, explain things patiently, get your order right... my young cashier and server Bella informed me there are free beverage refills between supplying the kitchen and cleaning tables... all the big and little things done right here. As far as the food: You will be fed. Come hungry, leave happy. The chicken parts are huge and flavored amazingly. Perfect crust, perfect doneness. The beans are juicy and meaty and so tasty, I could have had that as two sides. But I haven't had okra yet down here. So let me warn you: the okra side comes with at least six entire okras sliced and fried. I could not finish them all. It was too much fryness. But wow was that more than I've ever seen. The beans were a nice size side, the okra was gigantic. My third extra side? The corn nuggets? Get the large of that with 20 nuggets. Heck, get 100 nuggets and make that the meal for your family. They have corn kernels and cheese inside, light breading outside, come out hot and soft and gooey and sweet. Unbelievable. So so so glad I picked this place for dinner. Get off the highway and make your way into Waynesboro for this place. Don't worry about the line - you will get fed promptly and you will love every morsel.

Once you've experienced Nirvana it is hard to fall back to mere mortal morsels although if you put that BBQ meat in front of me when I'm hangry I will totally destroy it like a pack of lions or school of rabid piranhas as I'm all about a big pile of meat and my carnivore beast instincts will take over!!!

My smoked chicken sandwich was good and full of meat. To the point I needed a fork and knife to finish eating it. My side of collard greens were good but missing the smoked turkey flavor. My husband got a sandwich and 2 sides combo and had significantly less meat than I did in his sandwich. Not sure if that's because I ordered just a sandwich and 1 side vs a combo. The food came out fast enough and I believe the value of food received for the amount paid was good, but I was expecting more flavor. Overall, I don't think we'll be rushing back given the proximity to the start/ end of our drive.

Food was good, full of flavor. Didn't matter if it was brisket or babyback ribs. But somewhere along the way, the prices got higher and higher, but the quality got less and less. Brisket getting tougher. Ribs being gritty from seasoning not cooked in. Use to, except for a few options, BBQ sauce was an add on. Now everything is covered in it. I think i can't give 1 star because part of me enjoys the sweet BBQ nostalgia of this spot. Bit despite living a short distance from this location, I can't justify a $40 rack of babyback ribs that won't hold up to The Shed of old. I hope they find their passion and focus again, the coast needs good BBQ! But sadly I feel it's holding on to a legacy and TV popularity instead of keeping the course that got them started.
