Was in Ocean Springs to vend an art event, came from out of state, was my first time in town. Went out walking around their little downtown area that afternoon looking for some laid back place to get off my feet, have a bite to eat and maybe a cold beer. There's a lot of options, but mostly there were a little on the bougie side, or packed with college kids, or both... I started asking some local folks, and was told by this real cool old cat that he knew just the place, gave me directions, and after a couple blocks I could smell that sweet smoky smell wafting in the air well before I could see the place...literally followed my nose. Didn't look like much from the outside and there weren't many cars out front...which was perfect. I asked the guy who gave me directions what was good there, he Say's well it's all pretty good, but the ribs were where it was at, so that's what I ordered. Extra sauce. The menu options list fairly short..like you'd expect with good BBQ, it Qasim pretty a really laid back little place, nothing fancy...TV on the wall playing the LSU game, couple of guys sitting around ...exactly the kind of place to eat in peace. The owner was very nice, good natured and personable, we chatted while I waited for the order, asked where I was from and what brought me to town, southern hospitality at it's finest. As we chatted I mentioned how much I love BBQ, and the best I ever had came from up in Winona Mississippi, and he says Ah nah, that's just cause you haven't had mine yet with a big ol grin and a twinkle in his eye...just like would expect a restaurant owner to say. My order arrives, and the foam container was slap full, and it looked amazing, smelled even better. The owner and they guy who brought it out are both sitting there watching with big ol grins waiting to see what I thought and you could tell these guys are really proud of their BBQ and passionate about what they do...and rightly so! Because he was right! It was without a doubt the best rack of ribs I had ever tried , and their sauce is outstanding. When I told them that they starting laughing, slapping each other on the back, saying see? I told ya ! I had to shake that man's hame after that. This was a couple years ago, and I still tell everybody If you go to Ocean Springs, you GOTTA try the BBQ from Pleasant's. The food is the phenomenal, The price is right, and they'll treat you like family there. Five stars.
