A STARKVILLE TRADITION

At The Little Dooey, barbecue isn’t just a meal — it’s a way of life. From slow-smoked ribs and pulled pork to catfish, chicken, and Southern favorites, every plate is made with pride using time-tested recipes and flavors that feel like home.

What began as a small family operation has grown into one of Starkville’s most loved gathering places. Whether you’re here after a game, meeting friends for lunch, or feeding the whole family, The Little Dooey delivers the kind of food people don’t forget — because it’s cooked the right way.

Southern flavor. Real smoke. Genuine hospitality.
Come taste the pride.

BBQ Smoked Low. Catfish Fried Right.

It’s what we’re known for — mouthwatering barbecue, crispy catfish, and a menu stacked with Southern classics that keep folks coming back.

SMOKED THE RIGHT WAY

Great BBQ takes time. Our meats are slow-smoked over real wood for hours—not rushed, never compromised. That’s how you get tenderness you can’t fake and flavor you don’t forget.

FRESH SOUTHERN FAVORITES

From pulled pork and brisket to fried catfish, shrimp, and homestyle sides, every plate is made with care and served with Mississippi pride. Good ingredients, cooked the right way—that’s our approach.

ROOTED IN FAMILY & TRADITION

The Little Dooey began as a local family spot, and that hasn’t changed. Decades later, we’re still serving the recipes people love with the same commitment to quality and hospitality.

BBQ Done Right.
