The cheesy piggy is an all star choice. So simple & so good. Potato salad is super tangy with a mustard base--exquisite. Slow to bring the side of ranch so 4 stars.

Always a great Cuban, great service, our server emery was very friendly and outgoing. Would recommend!

It was a busy night but they're used to it. They kept track of everyone's order. Made sure it was right and made sure nobody was disappointed .Our order was great! Delicious, generous portions, staff so so attentive and professional but also courteous. Eat here! Its worth the wait! You wont find better bbq in Starkville.

Little Dooey one of the best BBQ places in Starkville. Definitely a stop after or before an MSU sporting event or just when passing through.

Are you in search of the BEST chicken tenders? No lie. I've been looking in So. California, but found them in Starville, MS. Don't expect the tendies to be spicy, like they make them in Cali. Instead, expect the chicken to be moist and a cruchyliscius. They also have the best iced tea! Worth flying for.

This place is super cool and has lots of seating. The service was quick and the food was delicious. We had the Mac and cheese with barbecue and wow the Mac and cheese is SO GOOD!

Pulled pork sandwich with a side of cole slaw and an order of potato salad. Will definitely be back when we are in Starkville Amazing service Great music playing while you eat.

This review is a mixed bag due to the "tradition" of the location and history. First, if you are in Starkville then I think you have to go here. It is a landmark for lack of a better word. It is busy and a line is usually out the door. We really enjoyed talking to people in line who had been here many times. There is a large overflow parking lot that is monitored by security to ensure people are going to The Little Dooey. You order at the front and then find a seat (can be a task at times). They have Bbq, catfish, burgers, crawfish, etc. I saw lots of crawfish going out. I had the surf and turf with pulled pork and catfish filet. I had a side of cheese grits and onion rings. If I were only rating food it would honestly be around a 3. The pork was ok, the onion rings were overcooked and the cheese grits were tasty but lukewarm and too thick. However, the catfish was absolutely delicious! It was fresh and cooked just right. It had the perfect flakiness and taste. We actually met the owner and had some good conversation with him. There is some outside seating which looked large. However, there was a private party so I couldn't get a good perspective of what the outside area entails. Overall, I recommend The Little Dooey because I believe the experience is worth the trip and the menu has a wide variety of items that anyone could enjoy.

I was very excited to visit the Little Dooey, with such an esteemed reputation. The front counter staff were super friendly and helpful and the restaurant was clean and inviting. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. My sandwich arrived barely warm. The cheese was not fully melted. Overlooking that, it was a tasty combination. It just would've been a lot better hot or even warm. I ordered coleslaw and macaroni and cheese for my sides. The coleslaw was excellent and made a nice complement to the sandwich. The Mac and cheese, unfortunately, was very bland. So, my review is mixed, and the four star rating is generous, only because I know they can do better than what I experienced!
