Southern Living named this barbecue joint the best in MS. Do you agree?
Ocean Springs is making waves this spring.
From a stellar cultural scene to an exceptional Airbnb, the small town is gaining recognition on several fronts.
The latest nod comes from Southern Living magazine, where Ocean Springs staple The Shed Barbecue and Blues Joint was voted the best BBQ joint in Mississippi.
“Loyal ‘ShedHeds’ return year after year for heaping platters of pecan-smoked baby backs, pulled pork, brisket and chicken served in a splendidly funky setting at the edge of a Mississippi bayou,” said Robert F. Moss, the magazine’s contributing barbecue editor (yes, that’s a thing).
Since its inception as a 300-square-foot roadside restaurant in 2001, The Shed has grown into a 9,570-square-foot entertainment venue. The food isn’t the only draw. The restaurant features live music and a glamp ground to sleep off your food coma.
The family business is at 7501 MS-57 and is open seven days a week, from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m.
