E & L Barbecue, Jackson, MS

E & L Barbecue
1111 Bailey Ave
Jackson, MS  39203
(601) 355-5035

Someone told me about this place before but I never had the time to check it out but when I was in Jackson, MS over the Labor Day weekend for a family reunion I was able to check it out and I had a rib dinner with baked beans and cole slaw.

The baked beans and cole slaw were commercial, meaning they were bought from somewhere else and utilized in the restaurant.  I even asked before I got my plate if they made the items there and was told no.

The ribs were grilled there of course and they were tender but I couldn't put my finger on the sauce. It wasn't spicy or sweet, it was just sauce.  So I guess it depends on your flavor.  Based on the taste I'm sure they make the sauce.

I've read some great reviews on this place but I won't be running back the next time I'm in Jackson.  I'm not saying I wouldn't go back but if I did I would try something else to see if there was any difference.

I was given a few more places to check out for great BBQ so I'll probably do that the next time I'm there.
