Wow! A BBQ Bank! Will it be close to the Taco Bell Bank?

I actually like Full Moon BBQ a lot.

A highbrow alternative to Mama Hamil's? Just askin'.

But for Covid it would have opened already. This is otherwise good news, as Dickey's desperately needs some competition. That would be the Dickey's on Grandview that gives away a frozen soy desert and labels it "Ice Cream," and takes the tips left in the tip jar to fund "company parties." The same Dickey's that at 5:00 PM on a Friday has no ribs. However, the employees are friendly, when they aren't hiding in the back room doing who knows what.

Then there is Tay's BBQ that is a joke. They are the greasy spoon on Colony Crossing with aloof employees who are "doing you a favor" to wait on you, and the food is terrible.

Welcome Full Moon! We need y'all.

Sweet Daddy's at the gas station in Gluckstat has the best BBQ in Madison County.

Have been a Full Moon fan for years. Looking forward to them coming into the area.

When will it be open?

What about that place next to Domino's off of I-55? Awful neighborhood, cheerful employees, amazing ribs.

Dickies BBQ is some of the best BBQ around especially for the money.

Good BBQ is hard to create consistently and economically.

Never heard of this new place but apparently they know what they are doing....except....where will people park on Main Street?

If people can’t park near the place they won’t go no matter how good it is.

Best of luck and can’t wait to try it out.

The building is Mary's typical allowed design. The food quality will depend on the employees and how the management treats them.

PittPanther said...

11:21am, this post is talking about white people's BBQ. You can tell by the comparisons to Dickies, which no black Jackson resident would ever bother to set foot into.

The place you're talking about next to Domino's is called Woodhouse, and they are excellent. As is E&L's. And a couple of other gas station BBQ places in Jackson which JJ readers will never visit.

Kingfish said...

This honky been a frequent visitor of Sweet Daddy's at Northside Drive over the years although the last two visits have been disappointing. Menu is getting a little too broad. Too worried about getting his fried chicken, chicken strips, and other additions to the menu out instead of those delicious bbq sammiches. Had to wait for her to make them last time when there is usually a bunch of them out there. Ribs were a little tougher as well.

But those sammiches are really good.

Not a fan of full moon......Bring on Jim n’ Nicks!!!!
What’s the deal about the best BBQ in the south is ALWAYS at a gas station?!?!

Anonymous said...

I’ve decided that there are many opinions as to what is “good” barbecue. I’ve had people rave about a particular place, tried it and went ugh.
Dickies is OK. Sonnys is very hit or miss, mostly miss. Guess it’s what your particular taste are. After living in Austin for several years I’m really hard to please.

"Sweet Daddy" works the one in Gluckstat, he franchises Northside and Crystal Springs.

Woodhouse has the best ribs in metro Jackson now

Burnt ends over fries with sauce. Extra napkins. Fanta (pick the color), because they don't even have bottled water. At E&L. Along with the armed guard in the parking lot and by the register. That is all you need to know.

@11:35 AM look up the address on a map - 1935 Main Street - there will be lots of parking. It is the large empty lot across Crawford Farms Blvd. from Academy Sports.

Dickey's - the first one we went to is in Alabama, and it was fantastic. They are franchises, and the one in Madison is mediocre and inconsistent, but ok. The owner is rude and defensive (through emails). The ribs are so, so, leaving me to smoke my own at home, but I do like their sausage (when they actually have it). Their brisket is too dry, but that is common.

Taking tips intended for employees is illegal per the FLSA. Selling a soy product as "ice cream" is probably illegal, but also dangerous, as it isn't labeled soy (some people are allergic to soy products).

Sonny's is the choice of the Cracker Barrel crowd who avoid food labeled "bold" or otherwise seasoned with anything besides Mrs Dash and margarine.

The best BBQ in Mississippi is E and L on Bailey Avenue, but I can't afford the ammo to lay down suppressive fire as I zig zag in a serpentine fashion to get in and out (alive). Guess I'll try Full Moon (Bubba the Plumber's Britches) BBQ to save rounds.

Anonymous said...

They don’t shoot white folks on Bailey Avenue. They are prejudice in their own right. E&L is good.

As of now, the best BBQ in Madison is Dickeys, which is kind of sad. Dickeys is good, but it should not be the best in town. Looking forward to this!

Anonymous said...

@11:47 Nobody in their right mind would set foot anywhere near the hell hole E and L's is in

Their buildings are entirely to neat and nice, everyone knows the best BBQ comes from the window of a converted garage.

Dickies BBQ is decent but they are HIGH for BBQ. Dont sleep on the fried okra for a side. Some of the best fried okra around.

Gas stations are also the best sources for sushi.

Red, Hot & Blue was the best in the metro, but 'you people' ran them out of town.

And nothing will EVER beat Kilpatrick's Pig Stand in Belzoni. So, for now, buy some dry, overcooked ham, slather it with sauce and pretend it's thumb-suckin' good.

I hear ya KF.

Reminds me of busting into the old Pyramid BBQ joint on Robinson , , , a few blocks off of West Capitol . . . at midnight (back in the 80's).

Some of the best BBQ ribs I've ever eaten !

The Pyramid is long gone, but their legacy lives on in all gas station BBQ.

You just can't get good BBQ from a "house" like that - brand new $1,000,000+ KFC/Wendy's sorta-looking structure that complies with all Southern Building Code requirements, equipped with brand new kitchen, and completed with Czar Mary's ridiculous Disney World architectural requirements bearing Corinthian columns, faux chimney, and rooftop cupola to boot!! (Mickey and Minnie couldn't have designed a more laughable or pretentious BBQ joint).
Nor can you get good BBQ from a multi-store out of state operator or franchise. See Corky's, Dickey's, et al -- commercial tasting mall food. You might as well eat Applebee's ribs -- same institutional experience but with more TVs and better selection of beers to distract you from the very forgettable ribs that never saw a pit or a smokehouse.
Unfortunately, there is no great BBQ restaurant in the city of Jackson right now -- a few gas stations sell pretty good ribs and smoked chickens but that's about all they have, and you can't go after dark. Gridley's and Red Hot and Blue were good until they weren't. Hickory Pit still has good pies.
For the record, Boo's Smokehouse at Hwy 471 and Lakeland has excellent ribs, and is the best BBQ house in these parts and worth the short trip out Lakeland Drive. Good food, good service, good folks - nothing pretentious (or Disney) about it.

From the artist's rendition, I can't tell if the columns are Greek Doric or late Italian Tuscan.
(But it does has columns , , , and is red brick) .

So they did meet Mary's first requirement.

I really do hope they succeed.

However, the best BBQ seems to always originate from humble little parking lot smokers.

Why didn't they build in Jackson. The old Fuddruckers/Lubys is available. Get you a bullet for every rack of ribs. Long live The Queen.

This is what a real BBQ place looks like. Haven't been here in years (Jackson, Georgia just south of Atlanta) but my last visit was great. Wonderful BBQ served up with slices and slices of white sandwich bread:

I'll go after the Covid BS is over with. Just don't see the reasoning to wearing a mask to get into and out of a restaurant, but can sit at a table with several other folks for over an hour or more mask less. This Covid crap is just out of hand, but you chickens want it this way.

Good BBQ is in Canton.

So is the third world trailer park full of illegals, the drive by shooting at McDonald's, sixteen gas stations selling tall-boys, tons of bums lounging along Peace Street (the irony), Penn's with the windows full of flies and the releasees walking back into town from the lock-up on 51. The best place in Canton is the Chinese owned donut drive-thru. Try the apple fritter.

Full Moon is a great BBQ place! I hope Jim N Nicks comes to Madison too!! I travel Bama one night a week and eat at both of them, very good Q!!

Back in the day went to Red Hot and Blue often. Great waitstaff.

Last visit to Dickie's wasn't too special. I never understood why there was never any smoke coming from the building. Learned their ribs, etc. come in frozen and they sort of finish them off in whatever little special oven they have there. That's not real barbecue.

No one mentioned Hickory Pit ribs in Jackson? The owner also had that place at the Madison exit years ago that was good. Before that it was Times Change. Went there for our first date 26 years ago.

Or that barbecue place in The Fondren whose name escapes me?

Ice cream from one of those machines is never real ice cream. There isn't even any milk in it.

usually , here in mississippi ,the beautiful and obese people of the SEC hate anything about alabama. mainly cause of auburn and the tide kick the crap out of them in football.
however when a alabama grease house comes to town they stand up (if they are able) and cheer.

You can tell the left-leaning posters on this here board. They hate for people to enjoy anything.

That was a good question. How can a million dollar building with city regulations out the whazoo make a profit selling sandwiches? If it has a double-lane drive-thru, it'll make a nice weed dispensary in two years.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Trollfest '07

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.

If you get tired come relax at the Fox News Tent. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag.
