Ms Bar-B-Que

I was appraising an office warehouse building in Canton, and stopped by Mrs. Bar-​B-​Que for what a local real estate developer assured me would be «the best hamburger in Canton — because she doesn’t cook it until you order it.» Boy, was he right! I got a thick, juicy hamburger and a big cup of cold iced tea for just $ 4.90. Great food at a great price, and great local character. I highly recommend Mrs. Bar-​B-​Que on North Liberty Street in Canton, just north of the town square.

Great hole in the wall joint. We were looking for bbq like always when we head south. Not much to look at on the outside but great pork and ribs. Sides were good too although I don’t know if they were homemade.
Definitely stop and sample. Apparently the burgers and chicken nuggets are good too.

If you take the time to pass through and try this place, avoid the desire to try the BBQ pork sandwich and go for the burger! The BBQ was okay but not worth the trip into Canton, at least if your just passing by.
Oh, and stopping by the park near the resturant is a horrible idea. ;) — let’s just say that the neighborhood is host to some sketchy folks. As for the ladies running the restaurant, friendly and worth meeting.

As I kept harping on Nu South BBQ, I kept getting tips to go to MS BBQ for a burger. I had been there in the past for some BBQ, but I never had given it a whirl for burgers.
As the first review said, WOW, they are awesome. Ms Douglas will cook you a fresh ½# burger on the flat top to order and it is so good.
I have been twice and the burger has been perfect both times. Ground chuck cooked to perfection with a tiny bit of flat top crust and medium center.
Buns are simple, toasted white bread goodness.
I give this place an A+ for a super cool little dive to eat IN when you want a road trip burger out of town.
Located about ¼ mile north of the square in Canton on HWY 51, just past the police/​fire station on the left.
I think they are open daily until 8 pm. Not certain about Sundays.
Order up. Eat in.
Enjoy.
On a side note, my dad got the ribs with sauce and they were very good. Large 6-​rib portion was more than a normal person can eat.

My mother loves hamburgers, so when I asked the local’s where the best burgers could be fofund, they referred me to 2 different burger joints. «Ms. Bar-​B-​Q» and «Nu South Fish and Sandwich». Since I needed to order a burger for each of us I decided to try the burgers at both places, cut each in half, and share each burger. They both are GREAT but very different. Nu South adds seasonings to their ¾ lb meat mixture and makes for a big, wide-​mouth burger. Ms Bar-​B-​Que is more traditional & makes a ½ lb patty of pure beef.
There is a painted menue board over the cash register counter and includes burgers, barbecue, fried chicken, fried catfish, poboys, and plate lunches and more. Ms Bar-​B-​Q is housed in an old gas station building and has a few tables & chairs. Most of the locals call in their orders «to go».
The only seating at NuSouth are the chairs lining the walls of their waiting area, and again, most orders are «take out» and the locals just place their orders on the phone & pick them up during their lunch breaks or on their way home.
