Naybone's BBQ

I have dined in and taken out at this restaurant. There have been times that I have eaten here 2-3 times a week. It has a very nice atmosphere, and the couple that owns the restaurant, are very nice and eager to satisfy their customers. I’ve tried most everything on the menu, but my absolute favorite is the wings!! It’s nice to have wings so good that they don’t even need sauce. They are tender, with a rich smokey flavor that stands alone and is outstanding. They do offer several flavors to the wings, as well. The brisket is always very tender with a delicious smokiness that makes this a perfect addition to their wonderful sides. My favorite sides are the sweet potatoes and potato salad. The potato salad is not bought from a food service, but homemade and it shows. The sweet potatoes are spiced with a great combination for the win. They have other sides to complement their meats, with rice dressing being another town favorite. I’m already looking forward to my next visit, and you should, too!

First of all I've read all these reviews and those that posted negative reviews are crazy. This place is wonderful. I've not had a bad meal here yet. And the owners are wonderful people. They've always been kind and friendly and will chat with you. I love this place and recommend it to anyone. The wings are amazing. Oh and by the way the burgers sign was from another restaurant that closed and the owners of the building haven't taken it down. Just wanted to clarify this

We have eaten here multiple times. They have an interesting atmosphere! The food and service are top notch! The collard green cornbread sandwich is amazing! 🤩

This is a new joint that I was told has only been open a few weeks. They are located right in the small downtown area of Ellisville, MS. My Momma had eaten here before and she reported she liked the pork ribs she ate. During her second visit and my initial visit I sampled the brisket plate and got the sides of sweet potatoes along with the mac & cheese. Now for my part I found the brisket moist although lacking in any BBQ smoke flavor and the sweet potatoes were alright. The BBQ sauce here is of the sweet variety and it was an OK version of a sweet sauce.

So after some deliberation Momma decided to get the burger with sides of baked beans along with the mac and cheese. Well Momma was 100% not happy with her burger and she didn't even finish it... Just looking at the burger it appeared quite pathetic and weak as it had the beef patty thickness about the same as a generic McDonald's burger. Momma took about three bites and gave up as she said "this has to have been a pre-made generic beef patty they bought!" To add insult to injury they have a huge sign on the front of the building here that says "BURGERS" so they really need to upgrade their burger game here!

So at the the conclusion of our meal both Momma and I agreed the mac & cheese was certainly lacking in the cheese department so we wouldn't recommend ordering that as a side item. Overall my brisket was alright while it would absolutely never win any BBQ competition. To my taste the food was below average for the most part other than most people seem to really love the pork ribs here which seems to be an area they consistently do well with here (I don't eat pork so I have no opinion on the pork ribs). For the general area I will rank this spot a three star but in places with more BBQ options this spot would be two star joint or in BBQ Mecca places like Austin, TX a one star. Another small item of consternation to me here is they didn't have any lemon for my iced tea which so far has been a consistent occurrence in this area at the restaurants I've eaten at which just makes zero sense to me? The folks working here were nice and they did seem to draw a decent lunch crowd so seems plenty of folks like this place and my taste is certainly different from others tastes so obviously plenty of others seem to enjoy eating here which is fine. Remember to like what you like and I will too along with always remembering we all have different tastes!
