The only thing better than a great BBQ joint, is a great BBQ joint with a buffet. It may sound too good to be true, but these types of eateries do exist – and Strick’s in Hattiesburg is one of them. Take a look:

This is Strick’s. Coming a long way since it first opened in 1980 as a convenience store, it’s now an award-winning BBQ joint.

And while the eatery’s reputation has grown over the years, it’s still a no-frills, down-home type of place – complete with rural murals.

The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, Tuesday through Saturday. But, the best time to visit is lunchtime (11 a.m. – 2 p.m.) since it’s when the buffet is available.
