Great BBQ is pretty plentiful here in Mississippi, but for some of the best ribs in the state, you’ve got to pay a visit to Crossroads Rib Shack in Tupelo. As you’ve probably already guessed from the name, it’s not a fancy place, but that’ll be the last thing on your mind once you taste the eatery’s fall-off-the-bone ribs. Take a look:

This is Crossroads Rib Shack. Opened in 2012, it’s located in the Tupelo Commons shopping center.

The huge building is pretty hard to miss, and that’s a good thing because according to customers, it’s a "BBQ gem."

It’s also the kind of place that puts an entire roll of paper towels on each table, which is a sign of deliciously, messy BBQ. And that’s a good thing because everyone knows if the BBQ isn’t messy, it’s not done right.
