Good BBQ. We ate here several times. The onion rings are the best I've ever had. The beef sandwich was good , just needs more sauce. The fries are ok and the bbq sauce is so good we bought some to take home.
Abe's struck me as "Old School Mississippi" BBQ. (I say that based on watching a recent episode of Anthony Bourdain's "Parts Unknown" where he explored BBQ in this part of Mississippi and even the chefs he talked to said it was hard to put your finger on a specific characteristic of their Q!) Abe's looks like it's been there a long time and all the music related photos (Elvis, etc) on the walls help set that mood. I had The Big Abe sandwich which was the pulled pork with cole slaw and some great baked beans. It was all around good eatin' and the folks were very friendly. A great stop on my long drive down from St. Louis!
Devine intervintion. We were on a 10 run from Texas to Nashville and back and this was an accedental stop. I just turned off the highway to find some lunch and this is the 1st place I saw. You have to stop at a joint that advertizes BBQ and the Blues since 1924. I am a spare rib man but the babybacks they cook up are excellent. I will surely be back to the Cross Roads agin someday to give this a try.
The rib tips are a must have! its not on the menu so you have to ask for them. the pulled pork sandwich was to die for. dont forget the "come back sauce"! enjoy!
Best BBQ and SAUCE ever. The Tamaco Salad is also one of my favorites. Great value too. Five stars!!
Best BBQ in the Delta hands down. Love their slaw and baked beans too. My hubby and I just adore this place. Wonderful ribs too!
Best BBQ sauce in Mississippi. I really like Abe's a lot and know the owner very well. My favorite thing at this place is the BBQ sauce. I buy it by the bottle, which they sell, and put it on potato chips, french fries, and even hamburger. Ha, I know that sounds crazy but it is so good. I will be honest though, the BBQ is not the just "Oh my God" best in the world, but it is pretty good. They also have some dang good hamburgers. The staff is super nice and sweet and is always there to help you out. I visit this place about 5 times a year and always have a great time. Stop on by and try it out.
It's A "Clarksdale/Delta Thing". I grew up eating at Abe's...before they built on, back when there were only barstools and a few booths. The sauce is a vinegar/tomato based sauce that is extremely unique. The Big Abe Bar-B-Q has three buns and two layers of meat, slaw and sauce. The Big Abe Chili Cheeseburger is also a stacked masterpiece! The meat and the sauce have been the same since the place opened. It is still family owned and operated by the children, grandchildren and great grandchildren of the man that started it WAY BACK in the day. I LOVE Abe's and so do most all Delta people...but we grew up with it. It is fair to say that I went to a very famous BBQ restaurant in Charleston, SC and HATED the mustard based sauce...but BBQ is such a regional thing, isn't it?
Amazing. I could drink that fantastic sauce! I buy bottles and eat with everything, especially Golden Flake plain thin potato chips, fabulous!
19 percent don't know GREAT Bar-B-Q. I noticed on the site on reviews that 19 percent did not like Abe's Bar-B-Q. ABE'S is the best that there is, bar none!!! Must have been from the Memphis Bar-B-Q restruants or somewhere else. I will put Abe's up aganist whatever or any other Bar-B-Q place. Those 19 percent must have no teeth or taste.

Great ribs, slaw, and tamales. Friendly Servers and clientele. Get there early to make sure they don't run out of the pie (we missed it thus time!).
First visit to Abe’s. My husband had the ribs & said that they were very good. We tried an order of southern hot tamales & enjoyed their spiciness. I had the chicken tenders which were just ok. The best part of the meal was the friendly man who took our order & made sure that we were taken care of…he was a gem!
For someone who hated BBQ growing up i could remember the anticipation of getting to come here on Friday nights as a kid. I am proud to say that nothing has changed in 40 years and they still have the best BBQ and Tamales on the Planet!!!!
Fantastic. Absolutely wonderful barbecue right at the crossroads. The staff was charming in a sense that they could do this in their sleep and could likely just order for you. The tamales with chili and cheese were great! The slaw was fantastic, but the undisputed star of the show was the Big Abe Bar-B-Q pork sandwich. Sonny Jim on a rooftop that was a great sandwich. Go in, be polite, enjoy great food and great people in a classic restaurant environment.
We met and talked to the owner outside along with his wife and grandson.
Wonderful people.
We had the double pork bbq sandwich and baked beans.
Delicious!!
They gave us a free bottle of their sauce and a plate of tamales free!!
We highly recommend stopping here to eat.
Bbq restaurant recommended by locals. It is a place with al lot of history and good honest southern BBQ food. Location is next to the famous blues cross road, a must visit for blues lovers (although not that impressive on itself)
A classic eatery right at the Crossroads. Have eaten there every time I visit Clarksdale, and have not been disappointed. Good food, friendly service, down-home atmosphere. Recommend!
