Our family always loves stopping for the best BBQ around! We have enjoyed live music on Fridays or quiet lunches during the week and always 💯 home town feel. They are active in the community with students and other small businesses/community events which is always a plus. The customer service is always spot on - Buddy, the owner, can be found sitting and engaging with patrons regularly and always has a great handshake and a smile. We ALWAYS ring the bell when we leave The Meating Place!

The food was amazingly good. I had a large BBQ potato with the most tender turkey I’ve had in my life. The peanut butter pie was somehow rich and light at the same time. The service was super friendly. Would have been 5 stars all around but I get tired of seeing political signs where ever I go.

We went to The Meating Place last week for the first time, and were so impressed with the quality and flavor/taste of the meats, that we went back again this week and already planning another trip back. I have a feeling this will be a new regular stop for us. Their taste/flavor of their steaks blow the ones at the regular grocery store out of the water! No comparison! And they are so tender! The deli meat (ham, roast beef, bologna) were fantastic. There pork products (Italian sausage, brats, chorizo) were amazing. You can't get much fresher near than what they have and it's nice knowing it's not pumped with preservatives and other chemicals. The staff are super helpful and so hard working. Highly recommend!

Really enjoyed the bbq here. I like the choice between baked beans or pinto beans. The coleslaw is a homemade twist that will surprise your tastebuds. The bbq has a hickory mesquite mix.

I did not expect my life to change today but it has. I may have to move to Magnolia because the ribs and sauce are that dang good. My first bite was transcendent. The potato salad was cold and flavorful and the beans were hot and well seasoned and if you put em together on the spoon u can hear a angel sing a little lullaby when u eat it. Shelby did not lie; the ribs were the right choice. Thank you, Shelby
