Thelma’s BBQ is a fantastic choice for those seeking BBQ richness. | Rebekah Stearns/The Daily Cougar
Located on Scott Street and near Southmore Street, Thelma’s Bar B Que has plenty of barbecue-centered meals like chopped beef, pork and catfish sandwiches and ribs — all of which are highly recommended.
The interior is dimly lit and sparsely decorated with plaques and trophies commemorating local children’s baseball teams, giving it the feel of a place tied to its community.
The service is surprisingly fast and with plates like the piping hot, hearty and delicious chopped beef potato covered in sweet barbecue sauce. Priced at just over $8, the meal could easily feed a table for two.
Thelma’s sweet tea is a big seller. It’s certainly sweet — closer to Kool-Aid than tea — but an excellent adjunct to the meal.
Thelma’s is definitely worth a look for the barbecue-inclined.
