<\/a>Brittney Snell A well-known and extremely popular restaurant in the Jackson area for many years, E & L Bar-b-que continues of its legacy of providing some of the best home-style barbeque around.<\/p>\n Every time I have visited, there have been many customers lining the walls of the restaurant, this is always a good sign for me.\u00a0 If the people like it, they will come!\u00a0 For this reason however, beware, E & L is not the place to go if you are in a hurry.<\/p>\n The ambience of the place leaves much to be desired.\u00a0 Years and years of smoke from the wood fire grill that opens frequently to pull the slabs of ribs, chicken and sausages out to be cut and sauced right before your eyes, have taken a toll on the overall appearance of the restaurant.<\/p>\n While in line, you will also have plenty of time to notice all of the collected dust in the restaurant, especially on the old fan they still have placed in the restaurant.\u00a0 But it\u2019s not the appearance of the place that is drawing the customers through the doors in droves.<\/p>\n The first thing I tried was their famous rib tips. They are my favorite thing on the menu and is what I would recommend first time visitors to get. They are tender, juicy and the hickory smoke flavor is all the way down to the bone.\u00a0 Bring your appetite because you will be more than pleased with the amount of rib tips and fries (don\u2019t forget the sauce) you get for the cost.<\/p>\n The sauce at E&L is delicious and you can get it on everything they serve or on the side.<\/p>\n I have tried was the chicken wings dipped in sauce as well. I personally like my chicken crispy, but many of the customers ordered this menu item drenched with sauce.<\/p>\n E & L also has other things on the menu. You can get whole slabs of ribs, sausage links, fish and all the sides traditionally served at barbeque restaurants.<\/p>\n The restaurant is located on Bailey Avenue, just out of downtown and its proximity to Jackson State University and affordable prices make it a campus favorite.<\/p>\n I would recommend people to try E & L because it does have very good food, though you might have to get over the condition of the restaurant, it consistently has good food and I haven\u2019t been disappointed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Brittney Snell Staff Writer A well-known and extremely popular restaurant in the Jackson area for many years, E & L Bar-b-que continues of its legacy…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"editor_plus_post_options":"{}","editor_plus_copied_stylings":"{}","_mi_skip_tracking":false},"categories":[7,12],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5015"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5015"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5015\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5015"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5015"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.jsums.edu\/jsuflash\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5015"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
