There was a time I would recommend this place but lately the prices are gone up and the customer service has gone DOWN....The owner raises his voice and talk to nasty doesn't want to realize that times your orders aren't CORRECT... And won't fix the problem...The girl who takes the orders needs a class in customer service acts like she runs and owns the place it's uncomfortable going there now we've gotten away from SERVICE WITH A SMILE...LIKE MERIDIAN CAB COMPANY...WHEN THERE IS NO OTHER PLACE TO COMPETE WITH YOU THEN WE TEND TO GET THE BIG HEAD AND GET BESIDE OURSELVES.ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT GOD BUT MISTREATING HIS PEOPLE THAT KEEP U IN BUSINESS.......WISH THERE WAS A 0 STAR THATS WHAT U GET NOW...PRAY N GO BACK TO TREATING...

If I could give them LESS THAN one star I would. ..

The "pulled pork" was store bought Jack Daniels, and served as if youhey had made it here.. the "brisket" was not even BRISKET. IT WAS POT ROAST, smothered in store bought sauce...the pulled chicken was AGAIN made by Jack Daniels and served as if they had made it themselves.

My "homemade cornbread" was two slices of white bread...

And the beans might as well have said "Bush's Baked Beans" on the side because thats EXACTLY what they were.

The ppl were NOT friendly at all...pretty damn rude to be honest.

I spent $20 here and expected a good meal and instead I got crap...IT WAS ALL STORE BOUGHT AND SERVED LIKE IT WAS FRESH.

STAY...

We were visiting from South Florida and our family is local there. There was only one place they said that we must go to eat while we were there and it was here at the Rib Shack. THEY WERE RIGHT! This place is absolutely delicious. We all got something different but the RIBS were juicy, tender and flavorful. The sides were all amazing. A southern food dream! The staff/owners were so friendly and helped me with recommendations but lets be real, everything was phenomenal. The meal size was more than plenty for anyone to eat so I enjoyed my left overs a little later on that day. A must stop in and try if your visiting, and a local favorite to stop at often if...

the smell of smoke drew me in and I went around the corner and started having a conversation with a Pitmaster standing outside. they let me come in and check out the pic very cool set up with indirect and direct cooking charcoal and wood. They were cooking a lot of ribs and chicken smell very good. We tried the chicken the ribs and the brisket ribs were very tasty chicken was good too only one small problem was the brisket was a little rubbery the people here are great very inviting I would definitely go back and eat again!!!! I would highly recommend getting some good Smoke BBQ!!!!

Moved to MS from up north, I have been looking for good southern BBQ for over two years in Meredian. Today I found it. The food is the star of the show (as it should be). This place is THAT local place visitors always want to know about. You know, "the bbq place where the locals eat." It's the kind of BBQ you expect, fall off the bone pork, and super tender chicken, so delicious. There are only 4 tables, so you may or may not get to dine-in. But all the food comes in to-go containers anyway, so it's no problem. Highly recommend!

Let me tell you that this is some hardcore BBQ. It hits the spot and is super delicious. The restaurant is very much a dive, but in a good, nostalgic way that hits you in the feels and brings the experience screaming into a home run. The beef and pork are delicious. The portions excellent. The sauce is a spot on sweet and spicy blend that BBQ sauce should be. Definitely check this place out if you are in town. And you definitely don't need no teeth to eat this BBQ, as the sign says coming into the store.
