Brisket sandwich, cole slaw, mac and cheese

This was a fun place to visit for lunch. The staff is very friendly and gave us samples. The food was delicious! We had brisket, Mac and cheese and cole slaw. So good! Glad we found this place on our way into Vicksburg!

Happy plates

Traveling from LA to AR we stopped at "The Tomato Place". They recommended Tommy's BBQ for a lunch place when we come back through. Did not disappoint!! Great food, great dine in area. Kids approved. Dog friendly.

This is how the FRONT looks.  There is no sign "yet" that says "Tommys" and my gps took us across the street but you'll find it

Have been on vacation from Miami and traveling all over and eating BBQ and NOT ONE PLACE COMPARES to Tommy's!!!!!!!!!!! I am not a brisket person, have never ever had it but they let me have a taste and it was moist and fabulous! My FAVORITE was the BBQ Pulled Pork!! Couldn't be more tender and juicy, better than ANY place we have had it. The BBQ is SO fresh and just the right amount of balanced heat/sweet! Someone said the sides were small but I ate with my husband who is 6'4" and we "took home" the small beans and coleslaw because we were SO filled up with his half smoked super duper tender chicken, my pulled pork and a VERY cold and crisp and fresh salad with Ranch that had a great tang. Oh, also had the mac and cheese... more fabulosity! The beans were beyond with sweet bits of meat and onions, JUST the right thickness. Coleslaw with the perfect sweetness and lots of dressing so you could eat it wet/dry by choice. GOTTA say hello to ELY! He sold us on the place and we returned two nights in a row. Everyone is so kind and helpful there and it has a true country BBQ vibe on the inside. VERY clean and comfortable, a MUST the next time we are out going west!

Brisket and chicken

Stunned at just how great this place is. I have eaten brisket All over Texas including some of the Texas monthly top 50 rated restaurants, and this is the best brisket I've ever had. The taste, texture, tenderness, and smoke ring are absolutely perfect on their brisket. I tasted a sample from a brisket that they already had sliced and then they prepared my brisket from a separate brisket that they pulled out and started slicing and both were equally as good, so these guys obviously know what they are doing. In addition to that, I had the chicken and it is also the best chicken I've had in a barbecue place. Their sauce is what I would describe as strange and it's different from any other Red barbecue sauce that I've had but it is addictingly good. Their sides were very good too. The slaw is amongst the best law that I've had in a barbecue place and the greens were very good too. It definitely has a Texas style barbecue place feel to it. They obviously have some sort of tacos on their menu because they've got some homemade salsas on a bar as well. Very friendly staff.

The bbq was void of ANY flavor. Their only seasoning was liquid smoke. If you want great bbq, skip this place.

Goldie's Trail Bar-B-Que - Three item platter. Ribs, sauced sausage, and sauced BBQ beef. Tasty, but too much sauce, and not carmelized at all.

Following a funeral, my family enjoyed a celebration of life at Goldie's BBQ at the request of the…read moreestate. Being from another state and also not a fan of BBQ, I was a bit concerned about what I could eat. I decided on a sausage plate with French fries and potato salad! MAN! Was I surprised!!! The sausage was smothered in BBQ SAUCE! it was REALLY good!!! The potato salad was mouthwatering! I could've licked the bowl had there been one! The fries were pretty normal, but disappeared, all the same! The service was great but extremely slow. However, our party had reserved the private room and had approximately 40 people in attendance. It is my assumption that the restaurant would've brought in extra help to attend to the private party, but it definitely didn't seem like it had. The restaurant side didn't seem too busy, but I'm sure our large party slowed the kitchen down! Either way, they knocked it out of the park! The portions were quite sizable and several people went home with doggie bags! I don't think anyone was too disappointed!

When visiting out of town, unknown to you eateries, it feels a bit like a roulette wheel. Will it…read morebe good? Bad? Mediocre? Amazing? Lackluster? Who knows! Goldie's was a mixed bag, which bummed me out a bit because there were some brilliant bites, and a good bit of lost opportunity. We went for a early lunch, around 1pm. I got the three item platter running about $24 bucks. BBQ sliced beef, sausages, and ribs. My wife got a simple cheeseburger and fries, about $10 I think? Plus two drinks. I asked for two items to be sauced and one item, the ribs, not to be. The sauce - sweet, vinegary, with a good flavor. But...a bit one note. Not bad, just a little flat. Wish it had a little heat or a little smoke or something to make it pop. Which made the fact the sausage and sliced beef was drowned in it kinda sad. Texture of both was great, and what I could decern in terms of individual flavor was nice ... But the sauce took over both. The ribs had an amaaaazing flavor, peppery with the right amount of salt. Really liked the rub. Really good flavor on these. But, they weren't sliced apart, with a bone plate still holding them all together. Imagine getting three ribs still attached at the bone that's still so tough you need to saw them apart with some effort before you can get to eating them. I was hacking and pulling with a knife and fork for a couple minutes to seperate em. That being said once I actually got to eating them, it was great. Not kidding, the flavor of these things was amazing. Really glad I didn't drown em in sauce. Just wish they were a little softer. Not fall off the bone, cuz that's pulled pork and not ribs...but, I shouldn't have to saw at them with my front teeth to take a bite. My wife said her burger and fries were good, and she actually got another side of fries because of how crispy and flavorful she said they were. She said the burger reminded her of the Frosty place growing up. But the Burger? She took a bite ... Then took all the veggies off because of off textures. To me, that said the tomatoes and lettuce was mushy/mealy. The actual building was comfy and homey. Fun historical decor. Booths were comfy. Sweet tea was ON POINT. Side of toasty bread was peeeerfect. Cole slaw was fresh, crunchy , with the right amount of dressing. Wait staff was really kind and polite. Would I wanna go back here? Yes, absolutely. I want more ribs, and I wanna try the other stuff sans sauced. I just hope the ribs are softer when I do. Three and a half out of five.

I am 100% convinced that the woman at the front did not want us at the restaurant. I'll just say that I'm a little on the "dark side" & my wife is from "further south". I don't know if she was an employee or the owner, because she didn't utter a word to us when we walked in. We were the only customers in the restaurant at the time. She was wearing an apron so I assume she was the chef. From the time my wife and I walked in, she glanced up, saw us, then did not make eye contact again. She didn't greet us or acknowledge our existence for a few minutes. We travel heavily throughout East Tennessee, Southern Kentucky, and Southwest Virginia for workk. This type of behavior is almost NEVER experienced by us when we frequent local businesses and restaurants. It must be something different out here in Mississippi... Didn't even matter that we were both wearing our Veterans hats, which we usually do when traveling through "certain areas" of the country. I can only imagine how she would have reacted if we had worn the hats of our home countries of Haiti & Colombia! Anyway, the young man that did service us was very polite and helpful. The brisket was exceptionally delicious, and the chicken was perfectly cooked. The potato salad and the mac & cheese were a little under seasoned. We had to add some salt and pepper to make it better. The young man informed us that this was the first day that they were offering blackberry and blueberry topped parfaits. We also ordered one of those. It tasted delicious! My wife was very happy with it, and she is not a fan of sweets at all. All in all, it was a good meal that would have been great had there been a little more hospitality. This was our first time, so there may be some things that I missed. Maybe this is one of those Seinfeld "soup not-see" places. No chit chat. Just take your food and go. We will most likely order again on our way back, but I think I'll have to make a new DoorDash account so that my food doesn't get tampered with. I mean, that brisket was ON POINT! .

It's the kind of eatery where the waitresses call you "baby" which is a respected Deep South Tradition. I ordered the 1/2 po boy & 1/2 gumbo lunch with a side dish (I chose baked potato salad) for $14. The food arrived about 10 minutes later. My sandwich was a grilled shrimp po boy on bread that tasted like it was from Gambino's. It was very good taste wise and I enjoyed it. Ditto on the cup of seafood gumbo with shrimp in it and with a good tasting roux too. Finally the baked potato salad was creamy, cool and flavorful. Altogether this was a very good meal. On the front door is a sign saying that they charge an extra 4% for credit card usage. Also, on my check were two prices, one for cash and the other for credit. While I detest restaurants that charge extra for credit card usage, I will give Gumbo Pot credit in that they clearly disclose that fee on the door and on the bill but I still hate it.
