This tiny restaurant in Mississippi is often packed, and for good reason! This is one spot that’s worth waiting in line for.

The family-owned restaurant got an early start back in 1985 when Barry and Margaret Wood began selling homemade BBQ sauce at a local gas station. It was so popular that it gave the Woods the motivation to open their own restaurant.

And the restaurant’s name? A "little dooey" is the family’s code for a fun gathering with friends and family.
The humble eatery offers both indoor and outdoor dining, and if the weather is cooperating, we’d recommend enjoying your meal outside.

Let's be honest. BBQ was meant to be eaten outdoors.
The Little Dooey is known for its BBQ, so you'd better come hungry!

Platters, plates, and several sandwiches pepper the menu.
