Authentic pit-smoked barbecue with two locations serving Corinth & Ripley, Mississippi. Fall-off-the-bone ribs, hand-pulled pork, and scratch-made sides — something for everyone.
At Crossroads Rib Shack, we believe great barbecue brings people together. Our pitmasters rise before dawn to stoke the fires and begin the slow, patient process of smoking the finest meats to perfection. Every rack of ribs, every brisket, every pulled pork sandwich is crafted with care and seasoned with our signature house dry rub — what our regulars call “the dust.”
With two locations proudly serving North Mississippi — our original Corinth restaurant and our newer Ripley spot — we’re on a mission to deliver fall-off-the-bone flavor with genuine Southern hospitality. From our three house-made BBQ sauces to our scratch-made sides, every detail matters.
Every cut slow-smoked over real wood. Served with garlic Texas toast and your choice of our scratch-made sides.

“The rib meat practically fell off the bone when picking it up. Tender with great flavor, not too smoky. The slaw was super fresh and the baked beans had a great BBQ pork flavor. Our server suggested sprinkling the house dry ‘dust’ on the fries — great idea! The atmosphere has a fun nostalgia flare. We will definitely return.”
“Hands down the friendliest rib joint I’ve ever walked into. One visit hooked me — I came back every single day for a week. The food is incredible and the people make you feel like family.”
“Stayed in Corinth for a few days and found this little gem the first night! The ribs were fall-off-the-bone delicious! I love dry rubbed ribs and these were soooo good. Three sauces available right on the table. Great BBQ and very casual atmosphere — perfect for us.”
“Dang, this place is really good. I’ve eaten here twice in three days and have no complaints at all! The sausage cheese plate had pickles and pepperoncini covered in their BBQ sauce and the rub — super tasty! The ribs and brisket were cooked perfectly with incredible flavor. Definitely coming back!”
“Crossroads Ribshack-Ripley prepared the food for our Ole Miss-Arkansas tailgate. Folks could not quit raving about the barbecue. Absolutely top-notch catering — we’ll be using them for every game day from now on.”
“My husband got a hamburger which was amazing and fries that could not have been frozen. I got the brisket sandwich and the brisket was incredible. The lady at the drive-thru was so friendly even though we were there 30 minutes before closing. We will definitely be stopping there again!”
“Great, crispy, and well-seasoned catfish. Some of the best catfish around for sure. This is a hidden gem in Corinth that everyone needs to try.”
“Great food and reasonable prices. Friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere. A nice variety of food options on the menu to choose from with clean, open seating. Can’t go wrong here.”
