Mcinnis' 12 Bone Bbq - Gulfport

The restaurant is located in an unconventional spot, but it is impeccably clean and the staff is incredibly friendly. The food is prepared fresh to order and is absolutely delightful. The portion sizes are ample, and the prices are quite reasonable. It’s certainly worth the drive to eat here. We loved the pork fry and smothered pork chop, which came with rice and gravy, okra, greens, potato salad, and mac and cheese—all of which were delicious.

I must share my experience at this restaurant—this was my first visit, and it definitely won't be my last! This newer BBQ spot in the heart of Gulfport, 12 Bone BBQ, is absolutely amazing! The sauce on the tender ribs is a game changer, perfectly balancing sweet and spicy flavors. The prices are just right for the high quality of food you’ll be enjoying! This place truly delivers! They have outdoor seating available and even offer curbside pickup. Additionally, they run their own radio station that lets you know when your order is ready! The customer service is excellent, and I'm eager to return to try more dishes. They also have daily specials!

What a hidden gem of a restaurant! We were second in line when the person ahead of us ordered the fried spare ribs, and we were intrigued by his choice. He generously offered to share one with us. The female chef then came out and exclaimed, "I heard you, and I'm making two for you!" This place has such a warm and inviting atmosphere. Everything we tasted was outstanding!

Update: This place was better the second time. Still haven't had the fried chicken but the brisket was cooked and seasoned perfectly. Mac and cheese was delicious as was the peach cobbler. Next time the fried chicken for sure. Seems it gets better every time. To start I love places you walk into and it looks ordinary and the food and the people are extraordinary. It is family operated and very friendly. Service was excellent and food was delicious. I especially liked the gumbo. It was full of shrimp sausage and chicken. I went in for some fried chicken, my Achilles heel, but unfortunately they had sold out. Instead I got the fish okra and mac and cheese. It was awesome. I will definitely be back. Probably best place near the airport if not Gulfport. Please, definitely give it a try, I can't say enough about it.

Hands down the best bbq around!! Very friendly staff and great service. Definitely feel like family when you walk in.
