I loved everything except the fact there was a delay in acknowledging my presence when I walked in and greeting me. The restaurant was clean and well lit and doing bustling business. There were many families there in their Sundays finest (as today is Sunday) and enjoying a Sunday meal. The food was prepared quickly and it was delicious. I could tell the fish was prepared fresh and it so delicious. And it tasted like catfish. I only say that because very often now when I eat out and buy fried catfish it tastes like whiting. Or some other fish. And not catfish. But this dish tasted like catfish and it was seasoned well and piping hot. I ordered a side of cabbage and red beans and rice and they were all delicious. The staff was diverse. I absolutely loved that. There was ample parking. The restaurant had a very varied menu and offered a variety of dishes. That was fantastic. I loved absolutely everything about the place including my food. If I had to give a small minus to the restaurant it would be the fact that i was not greeted when I walked in and walked up to the counter. One woman was on the phone but she saw me. The other lady was right in front of me and she also ignored me. This bothered me. However when she finally got off the phone she was very attentive. However I'm happy with everything else.

Yum!

Damn good bbq, slaw on top yum! Cash only but they have a machine right there (still a sketchy practice I hope they know) ... big sandwich for the money for sure.

BBQ chicken, green beans, mac n cheese, roll and banana pudding.

We stopped in for lunch after a long drive from Oxford to Natchez. We drifted through the front doors while our nostrils filled with the inviting aromas of smoking meats and were pleasantly delighted to be served massive portions of BBQ'd chicken, two sides and desert for less than $15. We would absolutely recommend and look forward to returning.

Philly cheesesteak and fries

My family and I were passing through headed to gulf shores and we stayed in canton for the night. We stopped at Marlo's after not wanting Two Rivers. This food was crazy good!!!!!! I had the Poboy with Red beans and rice and fries. The red beans make me not want to eat Popeyes red beans anymore!!!! My wife had the philly my daughter had the bbq wings my son had the kids tenders and mom and pop had fish and shrimp! ALL OFNIT WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!! First time but surely not the last!!!!

Ribs, creamed corn

Based on reviews we decided to seek out Marlo's. The fish was a little dry but the sides were very tasty. Ribs on their own didn't have much flavor but the barbecue sauce saved them. Overall a good meal.

Pot roast Greens and Mac. Everything is so flavorful definitely no bland seasoning.14$.

What a great restaurant! Best ribs ever! The other BBQ places are 2. Pig-out 3. Sonny's 4. Pig n Pint 5. Tays. Gotta get the Banana pudding. Best ever. We buy a large order for everyone in the party so we will have some for later. The place is very hard to find, no discernible sign. My brother owns The Emporium on the Square here in Canton and told me about it. Great find. It is a gem. Very low prices.

With the man himself. King of the fried chicken!

We come to Canton once a year and if we don't get some of Marlo's fried chicken, then something just feels incomplete. I live in Cali and I dream about this chicken for 51 weeks out of the year. Best I've ever had.

I have to start this review off with an apology to my wife. Let me explain. We're on a road trip…read moredriving our oldest sons car to Boston, and stopping at unique places to dine in along the way. Well when we pulled up to this joint UNIQUE was not the word I had in mind. All I could think of was......"what the @*#% was my wife thinking when she picked this place!!!!" When we departed this joint all I could think of was the old adage.....LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!!!......along with multiple apologies to my wife LOL!!! Now on with the review. Now read the next line in your best valley girl voice. OH MY GAWD THE FOOD HERE IS SO GOOD I'M BLOWN AWAY!!! I had the small BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich as did my wife. I had the Baked Beans as a side and she had the Onion Rings. Both sides were delicious with the Rings being cooked and battered perfectly, and the Baked Beans were NOT straight out the can like most dive BBQ Shacks. Grandma put some stank on dim dare beans y'all!!!! Yes'n deed y'all!!!!! I'm tryna told y'all sum'n sum'n and ya ain't tryna heard me!!!! Yep I'm tryna get y'all ready for the pièce de ré·sis·tance. That Pulled Pork sandwich is DA TRUPH!!!! Yes I said TRUPH and not the correct pronunciation....TRUTH. For y'all who don't know TRUPH is truer than truth!!! LOL!!!! That sandwich.....that sandwich y'all!! It was so good I now know what I'm gonna do when I retire whether my wife likes it or not. I'm gonna buy a RV and park right across the street from this joint and eat here EVERY DAY!!! I haven't had a Pulled Pork sandwich like that since I was a kid spending summers in Alexandria Louisiana with kin folk. We used to get BBQ Pulled Pork sandwiches from this corner store near my grandmothers house. I always had to have two cuz I loved them so much. Today I wanted another but before I could verbalize my desires my wife gave me the side eye. Y'all know I been hit'n the gym hard to stay sexy for my Honey Bunnie, but on this day I was like bump dat!!!! Then again her side eye was quite menacing so I digressed and begrudgingly sat silent in my yearnings for another delicious BBQ Pulled Pork sandwich!!!!! Please don't make the same mistake I made by judging a book by the cover. This place is DEFINITELY A MUST TRY!!!

I miss Ms Bar B Que! The best sandwiches! Tasty. Priced well (cash only). Locally owned.read more

First time here and it was pretty good. I met my husband there as a mid-week lunch date. There was…read morea pretty decent amount of people there but we were almost just overwhelmed? Right when you walk in, I knew it was going to be overstimulating. It is LOUD. And not just volume wise. Everything is loud. The walls are covered in football wallpaper, then signed pictures on top of that. Then tv's. Then speakers. Don't get me wrong, some people love that vibe. I just wasn't prepared for that walking into a BBQ place. Secondly, the menu is freaking massive. You stand up front to order, which reminds me of popeyes or arbys, etc. We stood there gaping for a good five minutes just trying to read ALL of the menu. I was thrown off from it because I would rather there be 14 items on the menu and you make sure those 14 items are fresh, hot, cooked perfectly every single time for consistency, rather than there be 44 items and it's just a luck of the draw whether you're going to have a hot or cold meal. I ordered a loaded potato, because yeah, overstimulated. So much at once and my mind just went *nope* so I got a loaded baked potato and their side of the day which was sweet potato casserole. Husband ordered two chili cheese coneys and fries. I told ya, it's alot at once. Both meals were hot, thankfully. Do I think it was $42 worth of lunch? not in the slightest. BUT I wanted (and will try again) to give it a shot. I just feel like its average. There are definitely room for improvements. Overall, worth a shot.

This place got me out of a jam in the late evening. I called ahead only 10 minutes before closing…read more My guy took order over the phone. I got the rib tips appetizer with fries. When I got there, walked right in and got my food which was ready. And the employees seemed nice enough. Food was great. Taste great. Meat fell off the bones. Fries were so hot and there was quite a bit of food for the price I was shocked. They were cleaning up to close but it was a good 1st experience. I'll try them again. Thanks for the great food that redeemed my night after having terrible food just 30 minutes earlier. I honestly thought it was pretty dang good. So, solid 4 for only one visit so far!

We are her for awhile as hubby is working on data centers installations. I needed some BBQ & after…read morereading reviews I forwarded it to hubby we stopped in for an early dinner. It is a small hole in the wall but Hands down one of the best meals- flavor- we have had since arriving in Mississippi. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich w/ fries. The fries? Not good. Hubby ordered Ribs deluxe. He LOVED his. Zero complaints. I too devoured mine but there was an issue. The boys in the back? Amazing cooks but the need to put a little pride in the plating. My sandwich looked amazing. I went to cut it in half at which time I realized the bottom bun was completely covered by the pork and the top bun. After cutting through it I cut a very corner of the bottom bun and half the top. Basically I ate it with a fork. Entire meal could have been more enjoyable if they would have cared when they plated. It was obvious they were very busy. The phones were ringing off the hook and the "staff" - seemed family owned- LOVE IT! The flavor? ITS THERE! I did order 1 link to accompany bc truth be told I would have rather had sausage. The issue is, as a PNW lifer, I am just worried about spice level- some of ya all take some spice that I just can't do. This sausage was PERFECTION in taste but dreadfully overcooked I can't wait to come back and try the sausage again. It was super tasty! Every thing we ordered came with a piece of white bread. Not toast. Just white bread Needless to say I have bird feed today. Love it even more. In my head this is a family ran establishment. I will come back over and over JUST FOR THAT great food. Thanks so much!!

Wonderful buffet experience. You don't hear that from me, and likely anyone else very often, but in…read morethis case, it is the truth! I am not sure how I have never found this place before now, but I can tell you that everyone else has. This place was packed! Parking was a nightmare. I cut off a cop and stole his parking spot. Yea! Stick it to the man, Adam! Giant community tables full of buffet goers. I wasn't sure if I could find a seat. I was impressed by the size at that point and then realized on the way out there was a whole second floor as well. It is freaking huge! When you pay, there is a little old lady that douses your hands with sprays of sanitizer. I did not care to partake, she did not care, and insisted. We aren't buddies. You can see the stank face she gave me. I don't care though, hater gonna hate. The buffet is rich with country foods. I was in love from the jump. Fast moving buffet food is my jam. They had all the things I like and tons of other things you folks like. I made two trips, I barely got most of the second down so I didn't get to enjoy dessert. That's ok, I like protein way better than sweet things. Thank you Allah for statin drugs! I had all the fried things! Fried chicken livers are some of my faves, especially if there is mashed potatoes and gravy involved. The fried chicken itself was great. Hell it was all good. I see why it's so damn busy. I think it was like $16 maybe. That's with a drink and endless food and dessert. My server was such a sweet lady and the bus staff were great too. They made sure you didn't want for anything and never had a dirty plate in front of you. I will be back as soon as possible. Planning a visit now! '26 - 102

While in line for the buffet one of the workers slipped and fell, dumping a container of corn down the back of my friend's pants. They were ruined. The manager told her "accidents happen." At the very least he could have given her meal free. But he did nothing, barely apologizing. She will never eat there again.

I had the grilled catfish with cream corn and a salad, and the catfish was cooked perfectly. Before going, I didn't realize it was a walk-in, walk-up-and-order type of restaurant where you get your own drink, find a seat, and they bring your food out to you. It wasn't a problem at all, just something I wasn't expecting. We also tried the onion rings. They were okay, but I really wish they came with some kind of dipping sauce. The biggest disappointment for me was the salad. It was basically just lettuce and cheese, so I definitely expected a little more there. That being said, I would absolutely eat here again. There are several other things on the menu I'd like to try, and the space itself is really nice and would be great for larger groups or crowds. Overall, a good lunch and definitely worth giving a try!
