Big Bees BBQ Grill & Restaurant

My wife and I traveled many, many miles, and hours, to come to Big Bee’s barbecue. We had it two years ago when we stumbled upon this place, and haven’t forgotten how good the food is. I couldn’t decide what to have, so I had one of each! Chicken, pulled pork, and ribs, along with two sides, which are obviously homemade. It was all delicious, and every bit as good as we remembered from two years ago. Mike, a.k.a. Big Bee, and his daughter and family are gracious, very friendly, and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere is “homey“, but you go there for the food. Prices are unbelievably good. So next time you are here in Vicksburg, you have to try Big Bee’s barbecue. It’s simply the best!

Ordered a rib rip plate from here today and every rib rip was burnt!! The person that fixed the plate knew they were burnt, they could have asked me if I wanted something else. I got all the way home opened my plate and was very disappointed

We are doing a cross country drive this summer, visiting national parks, landmarks and little known treasured places. We were thrilled to have found this restaurant. It’s far from fancy, but in our humble opinion it rates as high as the Chart House restaurant, at the Tower of the Americas in TX. We visited with Mr. Mike who shared of his family history in the area. We were excited to learn that his recipes are handed down from a few generations back. His kindness, friendliness, and warmth will not be forgotten. My daughter refers to Harmony as a “sweet friend” she made this summer, and hopes to visit again someday. His BBQ is outstanding! We truly enjoyed the ribs, pulled pork, baked beans, potato salad and coleslaw. My teen said he wishes he could give the burger 🍔 a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐

We were doing our 3rd tour of the Mississippi Delta going to various Blues sites and markers when we found our selves at the southern end/falling out the southern end in Vicksburg. It was about 2:00PM and we had planned on going to one place, but they closed mid-afternoon. We went to half a dozen other places (that weren't fast food joints) and they were all closed as well. We were just about to break down and go to fast food place when we stumbled across Big Bee's BBQ. We went in and were absolutely floored by the quality of the cooking. The place isn't much to look at, but it does capture that quintessential "building-by-the-railroad-tracks-doing-its-best-to-fight-off-the-Kudzu-in-the-deep-South" feeling. The owner was great to talk to and the service was quick and sincere. Really great

We absolutely the ribs! The baked beans and potato salad were amazing. The portions were very generous!…. I couldn’t eat all of the ribs! Mike, his wife, and grand-daughter were so nice and friendly. It has a very home like atmosphere! We can’t wait to go again!
