A beautiful Sunday drive, don't you just love them... I remember when growing up each Sunday after eating our dinner after church we would all pile in the car and head to where ever the road would lead us. Well with today's price of gas, that leisure drive must have a destination in the plan. For our Sunday drive, that destination was The Shed Barbeque and Blues Joint, Ocean Springs MS. Wow, what a dive it is.. Money all over the ceiling, some stuck up by the plastic forks just used and you know me, I had to ask the story behind that, as well about with the water line mark on the window compliments of Katrina.
The joint, yes the description fits, was built using garbage finds and putting it all together. The Shed started as a take out BBQ place with 300 sq ft, but as the loyal patrons grew, they decided they needed a spot to drop while they were there, over time the shed has grown to almost 10,00 sq feet of Shed - complete with a great outdoor stage and seating for almost 600 -inside & out.
The music is authentic blues and feels right at home in this setting while licking your fingers to the beat. This BBQ is done by no amateur for sure! I have heard the phrase "bone suckin good" before but never quite knew what really meant until then. Yummmmy. I had the chicken but sweet talked my way into a taste of ribs which fell off the bone on the way to my mouth and some of the best pulled pork ever. This along with some great potato salad and baked beans and I was in hog heaven! No wonder Guy stopped here...
Now this idea has spread to other parts of the south but while no two Sheds are alike in personality, we were told the food was equally as good. Most of our guests travel past a Shed on the way to Woodridge Bed and Breakfast... For travelers coming from the south east stop at any one of the following locations: Destin, FL, Mobile, AL, the Original one Ocean Springs or Gulfport, MS. From the west stop in Scott, LA just west of Lafayette or from the north stop in Hattisburg for a bite and blues!
Relax and live the good life at Woodridge B&B!
