Welcome to Big Smoke BBQ

Where tradition meets flavor in every bite.

Since 2020, Big Smoke BBQ has been serving authentic, slow-smoked barbecue using time-honored techniques and family recipes passed down through generations. Our pitmasters arrive before dawn to prepare the finest cuts of meat, smoking them low and slow over hickory and oak wood for up to 14 hours.

We believe great BBQ isn't just about the food – it's about bringing people together. Whether you're grabbing a quick lunch, planning a family dinner, or catering your next event, we're here to serve you the best BBQ in town.

Proudly serving Starkville, Mississippi and the Golden Triangle region including Columbus and West Point. Located just minutes from Mississippi State University campus on Highway 12. Whether you're a student, faculty member, local resident, or just passing through, we invite you to experience what makes Big Smoke BBQ the home of the South's best rib tips.
