The Little Dooey - Reserva de mesa

When you arrive, you order at the front and then try to find a seat, which can be a bit of a challenge at times. The menu features a variety of options including BBQ, catfish, burgers, and crawfish. I noticed many orders of crawfish going out during our visit. I opted for the surf and turf, which included pulled pork and a catfish filet, along with sides of cheese grits and onion rings. If I were solely judging the food, I would probably rate it around a 3. While the pork was decent, the onion rings were overcooked, and the cheese grits, though flavorful, were served lukewarm and a bit too thick. However, the catfish was outstanding—fresh and perfectly cooked with just the right amount of fl...

I was very excited to visit the Little Dooey, with such an esteemed reputation. The front counter staff were super friendly and helpful and the restaurant was clean and inviting. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. My sandwich arrived barely warm. The cheese was not fully melted. Overlooking that, it was a tasty combination. It just would've been a lot better hot or even warm. I ordered coleslaw and macaroni and cheese for my sides. The coleslaw was excellent and made a nice complement to the sandwich. The Mac and cheese, unfortunately, was very bland. So, my review is mixed, and the four star rating is generous, only because I know they can do better than what I experienced!

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! The barbecue I tried was really impressive, but it's their overall consistency that makes this place a great find for a small city. I can't comment on the service too much, but they handled a busy graduation day as best as they could. The grilled cheese, hush puppies, onion rings, shrimp, and pulled pork – everything I tasted ranged from good to very good. If you're ever in Starkville, definitely check this place out. The prices are a bit high for a college town, but that’s something I'm accustomed to. However, the local students mentioned that they’ve been going less since prices increased. Just thought I’d share that!

We arrived just before 8:00 PM, and the website indicated a closing time of 9:00 PM. However, the staff was already cleaning up and informed us they actually planned to close at 8:00. This came off as quite rude. They also refused to serve the pre-made desserts for our children after our meal, citing the closing time, even though it was only 8:30 and the website said they were open until 9. Additionally, some of our food was served cold. Overall, the service was terrible, and it’s not the same experience we had three years ago! Reserva una mesa ahora

My only regret when visiting this restaurant was not coming hungrier! My friend and I ended up sharing one of the daily specials (pulled pork sandwich) and we got waffle fries and a side of mac and cheese to go with it. The food was great and the restaurant had such a unique southern charm to it that I loved. Our food also came out pretty quick and was delivered to our table which was a nice touch for a counter-service restaurant!

Best BBQ I've ever had! The pulled pork was delicious. Also, the basket of fried pickles was massive and beyond worth it! The fried okra and greens were really good too. The service was great, it was adorable seeing the owner, older gentleman, still walking around helping.

I got the crab cluster with shrimp and it was good! The only issue was that it needed seasoning so I had to add some with the Cajun seasonings they had on the tables! My mom enjoyed her catfish red beans and rice!
