Withstanding the test of time is a huge feat for any restaurant. That’s especially so in the case of Pleasant’s Bar-B-Q, which is one of the oldest restaurants on Mississippi’s Gulf Coast. Its age isn’t its only claim to fame, though. The decades-old dining spot doles out what is arguably the best barbeque on the coast.

Pleasant’s Bar-B-Q opened in Ocean Springs in 1982, making it the city’s oldest restaurant.

Since day one, it’s been a laidback, family-friendly establishment, which likely has something to do with the fact that it’s been family-owned and operated from the beginning.

But that’s not the only thing that’s remained the same throughout the decades. There’s also its flavorful barbeque, which is billed as the best barbeque on the Gulf Coast.

And depending on who you ask, the secret is the eatery’s signature sauce.

Speaking of the famous sauce, it was created by Mrs. Pleasant, one of the founders, in 1984. It was meant to distinguish the eatery from other barbeque joints – and it succeeded.
