Smoked Wings w/ garlic parm on side
J J.

I love their wings. Their Yellowfin Tuna Dip is fantastic too. Wife had the burnt ends and sausage plate and I thought that was decent. Coleslaw and Potato Salad were the sides and no complaints, both were great. Their bottled sauces at the table were better than the wing sauces (I ordered them naked, with honey bbq and garlic parm which was actually a vinegar based sauce). Seated outside (our choice), chairs were hard patio chairs a bit uncomfortable and the table was slightly off-kilter. One star deducted for that and the price which was a bit high for my liking. 3.85 stars / B

Smoked wings! Medium, spicy garlic, and I forgot the other flavor I chose but they were all very good!

Smoked wings! Medium, spicy garlic, and I forgot the other flavor I chose but they were all very good! The onion tanglers are very good too! Highly recommend Wednesday night wing night! I didn't even try the barbecue but someone ordered the pulled pork and it looked good

Well stocked bar. Trisha makes an excellent Margarita. (I'm super particular)

Well, perhaps I should have tried this place a couple times before giving it 5 stars. So, It's hot out...you're looking for a nice "cool" place to have a meal. You've just finished telling friends new to the area about this air conditioned BBQ joint you've recently tried. With great expectations of cooling off, grabbing a cold drink and a late lunch we belly up to the bar. The first thing I notice is the thermostat at 79. It's 85 degrees outside in full Sun. With the nice breeze and some shade easily competes for the uncomfortable indoor "79". I remark to the bar service person asking if she'd please turn the thermostat down making it cooler. I'm told "I can only turn it down two degrees", which doing the math would put it at 77.... it's suggested by energy corporations to reduce home cost to keep your a/c at 76. Ok, so I ask to speak to the manager... she chimes in "I am the manager". My mind is reeling right about now at the tone of her voice declaring her ranking status. Clearly she had no intentions to work with me so my friends and I can enjoy a meal and a few drinks. Customer service undeniably takes a back seat to a "power trip". I couldn't believe it. The first time in Markey Waters I couldn't have been more pleased. Our "manager" provided exceptional service! I told her I didn't hand out "5 Stars" out easily but that her impecable service earned her the dove star review. So.... call before you go, see who's "managing", go in the evening when it's cooler inside. If you receive the same attitude spare yourself the irritation and spend your $ elsewhere. in this economy there's absolutely no reason for a "manager" not to honor a simple request so you can dine in comfort.

Like other Murky Waters restaurants, this Murky Waters will not disappoint! Fantastic fresh and great quality ingredients are evident with your meal selection. Every item will make you be the awful you stopped in and enjoyed the meal! We loved our great bartenders too!

Best burger in downtown BSL. Dark & cozy atmosphere so I save this one for a cold, hot or rainy day when I can't enjoy open air

Burgers are disappointing, made with pre frozen meat patties. I didn't expect from a MEAT BBQ restaurant. Left much to be desired.

Their baked beans are homemade and really good. And nothing beats the smoky flavor of their chicken!

Do I recommend this spot, YES!!! This was the best accidental find on a quick trip to Mississippi…read moreand is truly worth the drive back intentionally. The atmosphere was cool and full of historical murals and pictures. The decor was a vibe. The food, laws the food was sooooo good. That meat was truly top tier with the seasoning on that meat. Y'all that meat have my mouth watering as we speak. Oh and how are there multiple variations of deviled eggs??? They come in sets of threes. The bartender was really cool and easy to chat with. He took my order and it came out timely. Be checked on me often and gave me what I needed without delay. Can't wait to go back. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.

After my favorite BBQ place closed down I needed to find a new place. I've heard good things about…read morethis place and have driven pass it while I'm the area before. It's a small place with about 10 tables and a bar area for seating. First thing my wife and I tried on this visit was their deviled eggs, fried catfish and brisket plate. My wife enjoyed the deviled eggs which were good. We ordered the half order which was 3 halves. Kind of odd that a half order is 3 halves. What do they do with the 4th half? Lol... It was topped with bacon and a drizzle of something I can't remember. The fried catfish was moist, juicy and delicious. The cornmill breading gave it a nice crunch. The tartar sauce accompanied it nicely with a squeeze of lemon. The slaw and fries were also great. I had the brisket plate with mac & cheese. Other then Dempsey's in the Kiln this is the only other mac & cheese I like on the Coast. Cheesey gooey goodness. I know mac & cheese is a hit or miss at some places and also a hit or miss depending on the day you go. On this day it was just right. The brisket had just the right amount of fat to make it juicy and delicious. It comes with a small drizzle of the mild BBQ sauce on top but, there are bottles of the mild and spicy BBQ sauce on the table if you need more. We plan a follow up visit to try their chicken & waffles. A co-worker of mine said it was good and from other reviews it seems to be a hit.
