This place is a hidden gem. I don't like much BBQ, because I can't stand when everything is covered in sauce (to where you cannot taste the flavor of the food underneath), so I was pleasantly surprised when I came to Bell's!
The atmosphere is definitely one of Southern hospitality - they will help you with just about anything you need, at any time. The staff are welcoming, knowledgeable, and polite.
The food here is spot-on. I have had (and recommend):
BBQ Brisket (Cooked perfectly! No rubber here!)
Shrimp Po'Boy (The shrimp are HUGE and are battered perfectly - and not greasy!)
Shrimp Dinner (See comments about the shrimp - seriously - just get them!)
Sides:
Yams! (Super delicious and creamy!)
4 cheese corn (don't fight it - just try one!)
Okra fries (I HATE okra, so this should tell you something)
Macaroni and Cheese
Brussels Sprouts
It says something about an establishment when NO ONE speaks during dinner. The several times I have gone, the dining room was full, and everyone was QUIET.
I recommend this place to anyone who thinks of themselves as a BBQ connoisseur. I know I will be back!
