Ah, The Shed! Definitely one of the best barbecue restaurants I have ever eaten at. Just past Biloxi off of interstate 10 you will find The Shed, a roadside barbecue shack that sits inside an RV park.

The Shed offers the most tender barbecue you will ever eat and a sauce that is flat out awesome. I went the baby back ribs and brisket plate with the Mac Salad and Baked Beans on the side. The ribs were amazing. The meat quality was excellent and the ribs were smoked so well that the bones literally were turned into mush. When you bit into the ribs, you couldn’t help but to eat bone with it.  The ribs were also served wet with a unique sauce that is sweet and smoky.  Ummmmm!

The brisket, unlike the ribs was just ok. Nothing that special about them and they were a little dry.  You could say the same about the sides as well. Not saying it was bad by far, the beans just tasted like your everyday pork-n-beans and the Mac Salad, though something you don’t find everyday at a barbecue restaurant, tasted like any ordinary Mac Salad.  
So, did The Shed live up to the hype that you see on television and hear from word of mouth? I think it did if you are there for the ribs. Their cooking method is the best I have every witnessed and their passion for barbecuing is known with every bite.

By the way, I also snuck a couple bites of the pulled pork from my friend, and it was delicious as well. Next time, I’m going with the ribs and pulled pork.

Service
The service was quick for how busy this place was (I hear it is always packed) and the everything flowed smoothly. There really aren’t any waitresses, because everything is self served and your food is brought out in a Styrofoam box.

Atmosphere
This is the fun part about The Shed. The Shed was listed as “a shed” on the building permit by the owner when it was originally built and that’s just what it is, a shed! Its small, but has a great atmosphere with all kinds of junk hung on the walls and ceiling that has been placed there by the dumpster diving owner. Outside, you will find a large stage surrounded by more junk and plenty of picnic tables (Some of the tables are school desk by the way).

The Shed has a great barbecue atmosphere that is fun for everyone.
