Bar-B-Q By Jim

It was ok. Nothing special. Pulled smoked chicken was very dry. Hush puppies and onion rings were ok. Homestyle fries were really good. I’m a brisket fan, and it wasn’t on the menu. IMO state law should require brisket on every BBQ joint’s menu.

Jim’s serves mid to high quality BBQ with traditional sides at a very fair price. The owner is among the nicest people you will meet and they bend over backward for customers. He’s also very involved in the community and local charities, including the local Meals on Wheels program.
I have had better BBQ, but I’ve certainly had worse. It’s worth your time to visit.
I give him 4 stars for 3 star food and 5 star service.
Best testimony I know is a former co-​worker who has eaten almost every workday lunch at Jim’s for decades.

I was in town on business. My client suggested this as a great bbq joint.
It’s close to the Hilton so within walking distance. The service was excellent with friendly staff. I tried the combo with pulled pork and ribs. Both were good but the ribs were a little tough. The sauces were also good. The baked beans are excellent and I loved the onion rings.
There was an NRA meeting going on so it was a little loud and and since I’m not a fan, not real comfortable.
I’d go back but not during a gun meeting! Lol
Give it a try!

We were passing by Tulepo on our way to Alabama and needed a good BBQ place for lunch so we gave Jim’s a try. The location is sketchy but the food and service were great! I ate there with a group of 8 who all got something different. We got our food within 5 minutes of ordering and no one had anything bad to say about theirs it was all very good! I had the combo platter with ribs and pulled pork and both were awesome. Very moist and great flavor. Even though the bbq sauce was great there was really no need for it because the flavor stood up on its own. Chicken was the other option with the combo platter and even though i didn’t order it i got the chance to try it. There is no way you could go wrong with either choice because the chicken was equally as moist and delicious. The only thing better than the food at this place is the service. The people were awesome and very accommodating and helpful. Definitely worth the stop.

I loved my baked beans, but the hubbie said his ribs were NOT fall off the bone tender, which is what we expect from our ribs. Sauce was pretty good. My pulled pork sandwich was good. Good, but not necessarily great, food.

Me and three Friends showed up to the restaurant less than 10 minutes before closing. We walked in and said we want it to go since your closing soon. The lady behind the counter said no you stay an enjoy your self’s. So we ordered pulled pork and BBQ Baby back ribs. They are the best ribs I have ever had smoked perfectly and SO Good. The best BBQ in The state of Mississippi.

Tried the jumbo pulled pork combo with greens and baked beans. Everything was great! The baked beans were sweet just as I like them. Usually restaurants can never get greens right… but this place knows what the hell they’re doing.

closed!

Stopped by here on a whim and I’m delighted that I decided to take the chance.
The service was great. I had a nice conversation with the «managers» of the place – really friendly people.
And the food… excellent. Had a marvelous rack of ribs with some tasty coleslaw on the side and a glass of sweet tea to drink. Honestly, what more could I ask for? I thought the price was more that reasonable for the amount of food I got.
The only think I could do without was the TV that was playing – put on some music, hell, some Elvis, or even the local radio station. The last thing I want to see while I’m gnawing on some delicious ribs is a lame CSI episode.

Some dawg-​gone good eat’n bbq y’all! Came here for lunch after asking my hotel parton what’s a good bbq place. She recommended this place downtown Tupelo. At first site the place looked kinda ghetto, well for big city restaurant standards I guess. But knowing from experience, some shanty looking places are hot spots for some GREAT tasting food! This place is no exception. Super friendly staff, i guess southern hospitality is famous for a reason, and tasty tasty ribs. I had the BBQ baby back ribs (full slab of course), with a side of beans, biscuit and corn. Took about 15 mins for my food to arrive and when it did, it was tasty. For some reason my ribs were slightly cold when i took a bite… could be that i was sitting directly under a gigantic AC though. I had it warmed up and it was quite possibly the best baby backs i’ve had. Sweet, tender, and fall off the bone gudnis! The corn kernels were so juicy they exploded on my teeth! the beans were great as well as the sweet tea. God i wish vancouver had sweet tea like they do down here. Such a healthy alternative to pop and a good change from powdered ‘iced tea’. If you’re unfortunate enough to land in Tupelo (only novelty about this place is it was Elvis’s birthplace. Heck MY birthplace was way more fun than this town, no wonder Elvis moved to Memphis), make sure to suck on some ribs at Jim’s!
