Sacred Ground Barbecue

The Best Value Restaurants in Mississippi

"Sitting on the other side of the train tracks along an empty stretch of highway in Pocahontas, I found an impressive salute to Texas-style barbecue. The menu includes burgers, loaded potatoes, and delicious smoked chicken wings, but the meats sold by the half pound are the real draw: melting slices of brisket with dark-red edges and impressively charred barks, and pork butt that arrives soft and smoky and sings with a Carolina-inspired mustard sauce. Sides like cold smoked corn salad and green beans hold their own, and an expansive patio with plenty of seating makes this a particularly prime spot for families." - The MICHELIN Guide
