Abe's Bar-B-Q

Had the pulled pork sandwich with fries and sweet tea for lunch. Pork was served Carolina style with slaw on top. It had that sweet vinegar taste. Not sure if it was the slaw or pork but it was good nonetheless. Service was quick and friendly. I enjoyed it

This is the real deal: excellent "down home" pit BBQ, or as they call it: "swine dining!" Blocks away you can smell the smoke of this Clarksdale institution, which serves excellent ribs, pork (sliced or chopped), and the Mississippi favorite: hot tamales. The ribs were the perfect balance of moist but held onto the bones. Sides of slaw and beans were tasty, with the vinegar slaw a perfect foil to the sweet and tangy ribs. They have an extensive menu featuring all of the typical BBQ options and sides, and they all looked good. The team at Abe's couldn't be nicer or more helpful, providing guidance on what is particularly good that day. Just be prepared to be very full when you leave, and to have a slight smokey aroma following you for the rest of the day!

Abe's bbq on the crossroads is a must when traveling through Clarksdale. The restaurant has an old timey feel and the employees make you feel welcomed. Bbq was great and loved reading about the history of the place and area.

Our road trip took us through Clarksdale and we stopped for a couple of Blues Highway landmarks and lunch at Abe's. The food is solid excellent and we tried the hot tamales (the favorite of the day), pork sandwich and grilled chicken sandwich. Sides included the chili, baked beans, fries and slaw. I had the grilled chicken sandwich with the slaw on the sandwich and it was a very tasty combination. My husband thought the pork sandwich was one of the best he's had.

I have eaten here a few times. I can't say that it is not good. I think that it's just a tourist spot.

This Delta barbecue landmark, located at the symbolic crossroads of Highways 61 and 49, is almost 100 years young--it never gets old stopping here to dine in or takeaway. The place can get busy but you are waiting for quality. It's laid-back and you can hang out as long as you wish. No one is rushing you out--outside tables too. As for the food, my go-to is the Big Abe--juicy balance of well smoked pork, sauce and tangy cole slaw. And recommend the onion rings over the fries.But really you can't go wrong--and take some Delta tamales with you.

Don't expect a lot. Abe's is a little joint that sells bbq. Not outstanding, but okay. It's old, it's historic, the owner cares about his business. The servers are an assortment of those who care about getting it right and those who don't; no different from other places. The prices are pretty average. There aren't a lot of places to eat in Clarksdale and Abe's is almost always open. If you want good bbq, Abe's is good.

The tamales with coleslaw and crackers were delicious.My server, Lucille, was a sweetheart! The ambience was just what you would expect from this century old landmark.

Abe's is a must stop if you have never been. Food is always hot and good. Service is good Ms Lucile will take good care of you. Lots of things to look at too.

Best BBQ pork sandwich EVER! Highly recommend going out of your way to this place. It's so worth it
