Good Food for a good price!!…read more I rated it a 4 versus a 5 but I cannot think of anything I did not like. My server, Tammy M., met me at the door and had me sit anywhere I liked. I ordered the special of the day which was a BBQ Basket. The food arrived in only a few minutes with the lightly battered french fries screaming hot, a piled high pork sandwich on a toasted bun that was freshly soft on the inside with just the right toasted crunch on the flat surface and cole slaw that was the right sweetness and a nice add on to the sandwich. There was so much pork, it was hard to add additional cole slaw. Two in-house BBQ sauces were available in sweet and slightly spicy varieties. My unsweet ice tea arrived with the perfect sized lemon to be squeezed, a long tea spoon and a great long straw (Good plastic - Not the silly a--ed paper ones that are supposed to be good for the environment but stick to your lips and disintegrate as you use them). Food was great and there were some interesting local fresh fish options I will have to try next time. Tammy's service was great as she took care of the entire restaurant in an extremely fast and efficient matter. The location is a little odd nestled behind the Odum Concrete Plant which looked a little like a dive location but was more like a diner on the inside. With a steady stream of locals coming in for the good food at a good price. I will definitely be back now that I have eaten here.

Great food ! Loved the bbq pork. My aunt and uncle like to go here, got them some gift certificates!read more

We went to Pop's on a Friday afternoon & it was not busy at all so take that into consideration…read more One waitress, Kirsten. She was a sweetheart & kind to all patrons. She definitely knows the locals, which is always nice. The restaurant was very clean and had ample seating. We received our drinks and food quickly. I had a half rack of ribs, fried okra, potato salad, and coconut cream pie for dessert. My ribs were very tender and did fall off the bone easily. I thought they had great flavor, not being too smoky. I used a light amount of sauce. The okra was great. Potato salad so so but I'm not a huge fan of mustard based potato salad. The homemade bread was very fresh and a nice little touch. Coconut cream pie...oh my goodness! Yum! My husband had a pork steak and some wings, which were both tender and delicious. We were told Friday is the best day to come so we will definitely be back.

The Italian beef, the gyro, and the chicken tenders were fantastic. The crinkle cut fries were also delish. The kids nuggets were less than great. However the kids meals come with "treasure" aka temporary tattoos, a paper hat to color, and a gummy candy. The kids meals also come in cute pirate themed boxes. The drinks are in a refrigerator by the register- there aren't fountain drinks. They have cans of soda and glass bottles of Fitz's. The place is very tiny. 5 booths inside and 2 tables outside. The air conditioning is also not up to par. Food is great and would come here again!

Actually I rate this place as a -5 Stars. Ordered the Dad's Rib Plate and it was atrocious. The…read moreribs were so tough I could barely chew them. There was no taste to them except for what they considered BBQ sauce. They looked like they had been boiled. The baked beans were definitely not homemade and more than likely were the cheapest brand out there with no additional seasoning, ie. Brown sugar which would have helped. The mashed potatoes had the appearance of powdered potatoes. Seriously probably the most disgusting meal I've ever eaten at a restaurant that claimed to be a BBQ establishment. Additionally, I had to wait 20 minutes to be served and I was one of three customers at the time I ordered.

Never had oxtails before, but so glad we tried them based on other reviews because they are delicious. The sides are generous. The brisket was great and the fried catfish was probably the cleanest tasting I've ever had and spiced to perfection.

We ordered several sandwiches to pick up for dinner and the restaurant called a few minutes later to let us know they were out of the particular kind of meat we ordered and asked us if there was anything else we would like. When we got there to pick up the order, the lady told us the sandwiches were on the house and refused to take our money. Thank you for your hospitality and generosity Deep South!! The food was delicious!! I highly recommend this restaurant. You will not be disappointed.

Tonight we had to wipe our own table because our waitress was distracted and couldn't stay on task. I get that Fish Fry Friday is a busy night, but there was plenty of staff standing around that could have jumped in and helped! Our corn nuggets were raw in the middle, fries were cold and I'm pretty sure I pee hotter than our fish was. It's just sad that there aren't many choices in our area and when there's a good one the food and staff ruin it

Visiting from out of town and decided to stop in. Upon arrival, I was shocked to see how crowded…read morethis place was. Everyone in town was there, but thankfully we came in at the end of the rush. The staff was very nice and we got seated pretty quickly. It did take at least 10-15 min for our order to be taken and another 20-25 minutes for it to come out. A little too long in my opinion for a bbq place. Ordered the sampler platter and shared it and for the price, you can't buy really beat it. Turkey, ribs, brisket, sausage, and pulled pork along wish a side of beans and fries is what I ordered. The star of the show was the turkey. Had really good seasoning and smoke flavor. The most disappointing was the pork. It was dry and stringy and lacked flavor. The ribs didn't have very much flavor, however my son disagreed and the brisket didn't have any bark. It was a little tough and sliced thin like deli meat. Wasn't the worst I have had though. Some places in stl are way worse. All that to say that it's average considering the location.
