Paul’s Kitchen BBQ & Beyond

Great food and extremely nice people. Excellent pho, eggrolls, brisket, mac and cheese, and slaw. The homemade fish and peanut sauces are fantastic too. Only complaint is the spareribs were a bit too chewy for our liking. This is definitely more of a takeaway place because everything--even the pho--is served in disposable containers anyway. Eating there felt kind of weird, so we do to-go now. But all in all, this is one of the top five eateries in Jackson right now from both taste and creativity/novelty standpoints. 100% worth checking out!

Best Brisket Pho in town. Large portions. Friendly servers. I have eaten here several times and it never disappoints. If you like spare ribs, this is your place. They are meaty and tender. Best Coleslaw I've had in a while. Give them a try, you can thank me later.

First, let me say this. The owner's of this restaurant are super friendly and customer oriented, but for Black people, they do not have BBQ of any sort, but specifically no BBQ Brisket. I checked with the restaurant, right before Thanksgiving and they assured me that they had BBQ Brisket. Now let me set the stage, I live in Houston and travelled to Jackson, to my daughter's, for the holiday and was expecting what I am accustomed to eating in Texas. Absolutely no comparison. There is nothing in this restaurant that is smoked, grilled or bbq'd. What I received was a brisket cooked in the oven and had very little lean meat but lot's of fat. I had to literally separate the meat from the fat, which I ended up discarding mostly fat. I asked for 2 lbs and received (4) thick slices of oven roasted beef, swimming in grease. Never again! I thought about disputing, with my credit card, but figured this establishment needed the money. There are plenty of authentic BBQ places in Jackson and next time I'm in town, I will be visiting one of them.
