Went at 6:15 on a Saturday night, the place was packed. Definitely a no-frills BBQ joint, and I appreciate that. Service was very slow. For a jam-pack…

This was one of the better places Hattiesburg for barbecue. The. ribs did taste like they had been par boiled then smoked. The sauce was made in house and serve warm it paired well with both meats. I would highly recommend that you try the secret sauce slaw. They ambience was very simple with communal family style tables inside of an old town meeting hall. Try it out if you are are hungry the sides are more than my appetite could handle.
My family and I tried Leatha’s last week for the first time and left very satisfied. The restaurant is not a sight of beauty by any means and the service, while extremely friendly, was a little slow. Of course the good news was the food certainly stole the show and made up for any shortcomings in other areas. The ribs were the best we’ve had; very tender and flavorful and the pulled pork plate was generous and delicious. Their homemade sauce was unique and paired excellent with both meats while the Fried potatoes ended up being the tables favorite side dish. We will definitely be back again!
I insist upon visiting Leatha’s whenever we come to Hattiesburg to visit my in-laws. The BBQ is smoked and bathed in a sweet, tomato sauce. I always order the ribs. They are so tender that I literally just lift the bones out. A full rack makes 3 meals for me. The sides, especially the coleslaw, are all very good.The ambiance is true, roadside, Southern smokeshack. Wooden floors, mismatched dishes and wash cloths for napkins don’t just give this place an authentic feel but are ACTUALLY authentic. It is what it is. Not fancy but good.
With all the recommendations and reading the many reviews, I finally decided to try Leatha’s and the food truly did not disappoint, however the service was horribly unorganized probably due to how busy they were. So let me speak about the food…the ribs were so tender, the meat was literally falling off the bone. Since they were out of sausage at the time, I opted for the chicken which was super moist and seasoned well. I got my sauce on the side and it was sweet, tangy and good enough to just dip the bread in! Everything was fantastic with the exception of the above mentioned service, but I won’t let that deter me from returning for some great BBQ.
Recently we celebrated my fiancee’s 32 birthday when his sister put together a last minute small family gathering of her 2 boys, herself, him, & me at our home. She surprised him with picking up a PECAN PIE, one of his favs his Mammow D used to bake him. Now nothing has ever compared to this fine ladies cooking! Let me tell you this pie is The Pie! I’ve never had a bought pie taste as good as this one! So much goodness in one slice & plenty of pecans! You will not feel shorted on the pecans! This is the best pecan pie! He actually compared it to Mammow D’s & said it was neck n neck on taste! All he was missing was his late Mammow D. Such a sweet birthday!!!! Thank you Marlena & Leatha’s for the pecan pie!
Seriously one of the best meals I have ever had in my life! Leatha’s has become a regular stop for my entire family when we are headed to the Gulf from Missouri. The first time we ate there we happened to be staying in Hattiesburg and my daughter looked on the internet for somewhere to eat BBQ and we could literally smell it before we could see it. That was when we knew we were in for something special.When you go in Leatha’s and sit down to eat, the ladies there make you feel like you’ve come home (no matter where you are from) and they want to feed you. It feels comfortable and easy, especially after a day of traveling.I am not even going to try to put into words how good the food is–I don’t know what they do or how they do it but somehow everything from their simple garden salad to their slaw to their meat is just better than any I have ever had. I tell everyone I know about Leatha’s and have yet to find another restaurant with the friendly atmosphere, service and food that even comes close.
wonderful BBQ. I had the 4 meat plate. it tasted wonderful and the pork ribs were the best! the plate is served with two large sides, rolls, and a pitcher of sauce. the sauce is like syrup. the potato salad is very mustardy — as is the secret cole slaw. the staff is very friendly.
