    Don't let the fact that it's in a gas station deter you from dining here. The best brisket sandwich I've had in ages. Well worth the stop!

I tried several different flavors and my favorites were the pineapple and jalapeno. They are now making their sausages available here and I picked up some right away. Lil Butcher Shoppe is located at 1910 Broadway Dr in Hattiesburg, MS, and has been proudly serving the Pine Belt region since 1991. This family-owned and operated "olde-fashioned" butcher shop offers a wide variety of fresh, high-quality meats, local products, and excellent customer service. From its humble beginnings at Tip's gas station to its current thriving location, Lil Butcher Shoppe has become a beloved fixture in the community and now making their sausages products available in stores. Their history, brothers David Lawson and Steven Dyar founded Lil Butcher Shoppe over three decades ago, drawing inspiration from their family's history in the service industry. Prior to opening the butcher shop, David worked at Tip's, a gas station named after their mother, Christal "Tip" Lawson. The family managed the various locations from the years 1974-1990. David had worked in the family's gas station business his entire life, where he learned business management and customer service skills. After serving in the Navy, Steven Dyar began working at Carroll's Meat Shoppe, Patricia (Trish) Dyar's family butcher shop in Jacksonville, FL. This is where Steve learned the butcher trade and fell in love with Trish, whom he married. In 1990, the couple decided to move back to Mississippi. Lil Butcher Shoppe boasts a vast selection of fresh, hand-cut beef, pork, chicken, and seafood. Customers can also request custom cuts to suit their preferences. In addition to high-quality meats, the shop offers a range of homemade items, such as: * Stuffed Potatoes (6 flavors) * Bratwursts * Boudin * Meatloaf * Smoked Chicken * Stuffed Porkchops * Stuffed Chicken * Gumbo * Mardi Gras Pasta Sauce * Casseroles * Stuffed Mushrooms & Peppers * Crawfish Pies The shop also stocks an assortment of cheeses, homemade jams, and various ready-to-bake dishes. With such a diverse array of offerings, Lil Butcher Shoppe truly caters to a wide range of tastes and culinary needs. I have already prepared a number of dishes for breakfast and dinner using several of these sausages and I'm a fan. The pineapple flavor is very good just grilled on a bun with a pineapple slaw and the jalapeno one is great with beans. I have more ideas and there's lots of ideas. Bottom line: Lil Butcher Shoppe has stood the test of time as a family-owned, community-oriented establishment in Hattiesburg, MS. Offering an extensive array of high-quality meats, homemade dishes, and local products, it remains a go-to destination for residents and visitors alike who appreciate quality and exceptional customer service.

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.

    This is a must try, it's some of the best food you'll find in Mississippi! Try it once you'll be…read morehooked and back for more.

Charlotte our server couldn't have been more knowledgeable about the menu, the establishment and the area. I ordered pork chops, eggs, toast, & grits. Husband had the Blue plate special , and chose the catfish, collard greens & coleslaw to go with the hush puppies & cornbread. They had a full bar & a tempting specialty cocktail menu as well as happy hour specials but we decided to stick with water as we were on a road trip. Again, this was a completely unexpected experience. Everything was cooked to perfection & tasted incredible. Charlotte explained that this is the closest to New Orleans style food that you will find around. She then told us the chef offers "a taste" of 2 deserts (changes daily if offered). A white chocolate Brad pudding and a chocolate cake with sauce. Oh wow!! Much more than a taste but full dessert portion. Both were so good and genuinely appreciated. Such a good meal, with incredible service and beautiful atmosphere. We will be back. Thank you!

    04/22/26 This visit…read moredid not disappoint. We live in Florida and first visited Vicious Biscuit (the original location) quite a few years ago while on vacation. 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!

I ordered the egg white omelette a couple times and each time it was really good! The pico de gallo on top was fresh and complemented the avocado. I The potatoes were also seasoned really well too. My husband had the keto bowl more than once as well so, you know he enjoyed it. The restaurant is cute and modern. They get busy really fast of the weekend so, we just preferred to order takeout in advance. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm staying in the area.
