The Little Dooey

I realized, I'm always rating spots across the country, but what about the spots in my own neighborhood??Well, cheers to one of my faves! Today, is was a regular for me, the Steak Fajita Pita with fried okra on the side. It ain't never been bad. I will say I've eaten so many I've gotten sick! Their delicious. A fine southern twist on something that ain't souther, but it's cheesy, and juicy, and seasoned well. Of course the fried okra is good.As a side, my next best favorite is the large pulled pork sandwich on Texas toast topped with cole slaw. It's messy but scrumptious! The pulled chicken instead of pork is good, but ask for extra sauce!Their plates are tasty. Their fried catfish is pretty good as well.They are also in the top running for best sweet tea in town.Now, the call-in can be iffy. They may put you on hold for five mins, but hang in there. Also, double check your bags, as I've had a missing something or another from time to time.Their fried green tomatoes are overly salty. But their waffle fries make up for it. Lastly, they have the absolute best Cole slaw in central Mississippi. Tell me I'm lying.Sorry I ain't got no pics! It's gone!

You can't go wrong when choosing to eat at The Little Dooey! Wonderful bbq, baked beans, and of course the fried pickles makes it my restaurant of choice in both Columbus and Starkville! The service is excellent and fast, and the atmosphere is very hometown Columbus- fun and full of locals!

Excellent customer service! Delicious BBQ, Memphis style barbecue sauce, and many options for sides. Besides being known for their barbecue they have a nice sized menu with several other soul food type options. Everything I have ever had here is delicious! We prefer their barbecue here because they use a sweet barbecue sauce and some of the other local places use more of a North Carolina vinegar based sauce. They can also handle large to go orders, too! Small town atmosphere.

This will be one of stops on the way to MSU football games. Good soul food at a great price. They get in you and out in a timely manner. Plus GA fans were in there when we ate, so it does have a good reputation.

The 1/2 rack of ribs was awful, it was more like flank meat, not sure really what it was. It shouldn't have been on the menu.I recommend you go get your BBQ fix someplace else.

My name is Mary Hampton . I have been a lloyal customer of Little Deweys for about 20 years from Columbus to Starkville to 82 and today I ordered a plate of ribs One of them was really good and the other one was dry as if it had been under the light for too long, I called back to tell them and they said they would only give me a 10% discount all I was asking for another replacement rib whenever I came back so I told her that I did not want the 10% Discount, and I also said that I would not be back so the moral of the story is that they have lost a loyal customer , I was only asking them to do the right thing and not the norm

I really love good barbecue and this place used to be popping. The food is still good but the condiments are so nasty. I really wish they would clean better and sanitize their containers. The crusty sauce and empty ketchup just drew the line for me. They could use some wood paper towel holders for the tables too. The paper towels just sit on the tables where people pick them up with their nasty hands. Yuck. The employees never greeted me as they were counting cash on the food counter. I really hope they washed their hands afterwards. Where's the owner?

We picked up for a small gathering at our house. The pulled pork BBQ was good, as it usually is, and the BBQ sauce was thick and delicious! We also had potato salad and coleslaw and they were both really good. Everyone joining us was very complimentary of the food from The Little Dooey.

Honestly? Save your money and time and go over to the original Little Dooey in Starkville. They have decent food here yes. Most of the staff is high schoolers or super young. I always feel like I'm met with "uhhh..." when I order anything. The inside itself just makes you feel sticky. The tables are sticky, the condiments sticky. I feel like I need to bring baby wipes with me before i set down. Food is hit and miss but when it misses, oh it misses bad. I really don't recommend.

I love the fried catfish and the chicken salad most when I need a quick meal while in town!
