Hail to the Queen of BBQ

Leatha's in Petal might be Mississippi’s most iconic barbecue joint

When it comes to barbecue in Mississippi's Pine Belt, one name reigns supreme: Leatha's.

Leatha's Bar-B-Que in Petal isn't just a stop along the Mississippi Culinary Trail, it's a royal culinary adventure. From the unconventional use of kitchen rags for napkins, to the secret sauce that has been delighting palates for over four decades, every element of Leatha's has been crafted to offer a unique and unforgettable dining experience.
