The times we've been the food has been very good. The fried pickles can get VERY salty. When my daughter asks for a pulled pork sandwich without bbq sauce, it comes with, and we have to send it back to the kitchen. Other than that, the atmosphere is fantastic. The live music has been great too.

Best brisket I've ever had. The portion was generous, the price was fair. Service was great. Very friendly staff. Atmosphere was amazing. What a cool place. Wish I lived nearby, I'd be a frequent flyer...

Awesome food, service, and atmosphere! Place looks small from the front but extends way back. There is plenty of parking around the side and too the back as well. Fun place for kids to play, nice benches inside, outside, and even back by the water. A good tip is to use the qr code from the signs to order. There was a line of about 10-15 people to order at the bar. I did a mobile order and they come and find you with your food. Didn't have to wait in line once! Also, the brisket was good and the sweet potato casserole was outstanding! Great experience and definitely want to come back!

If you’re going to get anything just get the baby back ribs. The bone falls out when you pick it up and the sauce and flavor is amazing. Sorry the brisket wasn’t as good (sliced) maybe I should have tried it pulled. Most definitely walk around after your meal. You thought it was just outside and inside seating until you walk through the merch store and realize there’s more seating outside, another bar, a playground, and a swamp.

First of all, everyone was friendly and real and the aliced brisket is like butter! (as were the mac&cheese and sweet potato sides). The campground is adjacent to some major road construction, so there was plenty of dust and noise by our slip duting working hours however that’s because we wanted a pull-through site. Full hookups at a grass site that was level and right next to a wifi repeater so we had some serious bandwidth. Overall, a wonderfully funky eclectic campground next to some if the best BarBQ I’ve ever had! We’ll be back!

Ultimate Southern BBQ experience! A one-of-a-kind BBQ joint in Mississippi, right on the bayou, where the smell of smoked meats mixes with the fresh, breezy waterfront air. The best BBQ sauce in the state, slow-cooked perfection, and an atmosphere filled with the most eclectic finds—like a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. This isn’t just a meal; it’s a whole vibe, where good food, good views, and good friends come together. MUST STOP BBQ Sorry no pictures of food because we devoured it.

Blown Away by this BBQ!!! WOW WOW WOW!!! A friend of ours who was stationed here 10 years ago told us (when he found out we would be passing through) that we HAD TO stop at The Shed! We are so happy we did! Their Ribs were fall of the bone tender and my husband commented it was the best brisket he had ever had! I know for sure it was THE BEST restaurant fried okra and potato salad we have ever had! So much so we went back for a second round of sides! Y’all this place has phenomenal food!!! The servers and staff were all friendly, welcoming and helpful, and the place itself has such a great vibe and atmosphere. We will definitely be revisiting and recommending it as much as we can!

I’ve been to well over a dozen BBQ places across the country and each region has its own uniqueness to its BBQ. The Shed is by my favorite type of BBQ!! We had, ribs, pulled pork, sliced brisket, and tons of sides. Our favorite side is the sweet potato casserole The ribs are outta this world! They were incredibly juicy, the sauce was perfect, the bones just slide right out of the meat. The pulled pork is equally as delicious as the ribs. My kiddos tore into it and just devoured their plate. The portion sizes are just right! We came with a massive appetite and left stuffed the brim. No room for dessert this time around. The place itself is so cool. You have to go through a little bit of the maze to find the restroom, but that itself is fun. The entire place really does look like somebody’s shed. Somebody who just collected all of the things and never wanted to give up anything. You definitely should take your time walking through the entire shed. You can bring your dogs too!
