Another business leaves
Mugshots is moving in a few weeks to the old Corky's location in Flowood. But although that might bother some, I could care less if they do. What REALLY has me bothered is the fact I don't know where the hell I can get some damn good barbecue this weekend. Pig Out was average but it closed. No Homers. Corkys, as bad as it became, bit the dust. Red, Hot, and Blue sits empty. They are even tearing down the Northside Drive Exxon, which had the best ribs in town.
So where am I supposed to get some decent barbecue on Fourth of July weekend without driving to Grenada?
Note: Don't mention Hickory Pit as it's simply not that good. What I wouldn't give for some Jake & Rip's.

Pig Shak in Crossgates Brandon and that place on Hwy 471 just south of Lakeland are both decent choices. Pig Shak's are mighty tender and tasty as of two weeks ago.
Sorry, I can't invite you to my place since I'll be out of town.
I like bbq the other 52 weeks of the year. Now if my chiroquacker Dr. Rhodes would fix some ribs. He's cooked the best I've ever had.
Okay. You're going to regret that last comment. Crying will only let me know it's working and encourage me. Next time, we're cracking your sinuses too.
Lovingly, your "chiroquacker".
Ya just neva know who ya goin' to meet online.
JOKE. But you still never know.
I have tried to like Hickory Pit. Something about it just doesn't do the trick. Hey, Sonny's is good. It is still there so they must be doing something right.
Try the Exxon station on the corner of Northside Drive and the Clinton Parkway, in Clinton. Good, Good ribs!
I like the Chimneyville Cafe on Lakeland that just opened beside Lowe's.
Hickory Pit is too expensive. You should try Bowies BBQ in Brookhaven - simply the best.
Sonny's and Pig Shak in Crossgates Brandon - both are great.
Little Willie's is also good - where are they now?
Mugshots moving down to Flowood will knock out most of it's downtown worker patronage. It will just be too far away to make during lunch. What a shame. We go there at least 4 times a month. I guess we'll have to find another place.
Plus, that location is a jinx and gets way too much movie traffic on the weekends to even bother going there.
Learn to BBQ the ribs yourself, Kingfish!
Pigskin in Ridgeland.
I think the Northside Drive Exxon is only closed for renovation. They'll be back!
Old Tymers in Florence...good stuff!
Little Willies at Spillway Rd/Old Fannin Rd. Ribs = excellent. (They also have good deviled eggs, just fyi.)
Haute Pig in Madison. Your guts will gurgle the next day but your burbs will be memorable.
Saturday, in my backyard, the best BBQ ribs in town will be served.
Big D's in Pocohontas.
You may just have to drive to Grenada. If so call me first!
Hey try the Cherokee, Coach who has worked there forever, used to work at Homers. Worth trying
I'm a Big D's fan, heck of a drive but used to eat there every Saturday because was around the corner from riding lessons, last time we pulled up.. was closed and had a for sale sign. Can't be true :(

Big D's
Big D's moved to Hwy 49/Main St in Pocahontas.
Chimneyville, no doubt!
We tried the Pig Shak at Crossgates and frankly it was just awful. I just couldn't recommend it, honestly.
E&L Barbecue on Bailey Avenue is the best.
I second E&L!
