• No frills,doesn't pretend to be something it is not.
• Like most places down here, you have to tell them to put the sauce on the side. This is not really a fault though, it's just how it's done down here.

“Originally from Memphis TN and a 25 year gulf coast transplant, I can tell you that good BBQ is a true rarity in these parts. At the brick pit they do it right though. Like most places South of Grenada they do want to put the sauce right on the meat, so you have to tell them, 'sauce on the side' and you got yourself a pretty authentic que experience. The service is no frills order up style and th staff is genuinely friendly. The atmosphere is also no frills but thats exactly what you should be looking for in good pig joint. This place is very close to the USA campus so it fills up and can be crowded for lunch. Parking has usually not been an issue though. They have a nice parking lot behind the smokehouse with lots of shade from big live oaks. You can get a good whiff of whats to come as you walk past it toward the front door. All in all, this place sort of reminds me of lots of those old general stores and meat deli style places that you might find scattered throughout rural South-Western TN and out in the county around Memphis. It is an oasis in a desert otherwise devoid of decent que.”
