What happened after Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives?

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives visited The Shed Barbecue & Blues Joint in the "All Kinds of BBQ" episode (aired 2008-07-07), featuring the restaurant's slow-smoked barbecue plates. The Shed is a barbecue restaurant and live-music venue in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, established in 2001 according to its Yelp business profile. The restaurant's menu centers on baby back ribs, pulled pork, 16-hour brisket, and Mississippi-made sausage. Yelp's listing, updated 2026-08, showed 1,754 photos and 1,191 reviews, current daily posted hours of 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., and ongoing live-music programming on Friday and Saturday nights, with no closure notice on the page. The business also runs its own website, theshedbbq.com, which lists the same Highway 57 address and continues to promote its music calendar.

Travel Channel's Food Paradise featured The Shed Barbeque & Blues Joint in its "Best In Chow" episode, spotlighting its slow-smoked barbecue plates and the live-music roadhouse atmosphere that built its reputation. The restaurant began as a competition barbecue team, and its own website lists finishes at contests such as the American Royal, Memphis in May, and the World Food Championships. According to theshedbbq.com (checked 2026-09-08), the business currently offers dine-in service, online ordering, catering, and nationwide shipping of its barbecue and rubs. Google Places listed the Ocean Springs location as operational on the same date. The site also promotes a seasonal holiday turkey-and-ham order form and a recurring live-music calendar, consistent with the "Blues Joint" half of its name. Its competition-team page, last updated with results through 2021, still lists championship entries from Denver Q and the Steak Showdown.

This episode's stop was The Shed BBQ & Blues, the Ocean Springs, Mississippi barbecue joint built from reclaimed junkyard materials and known for smoked whole hog, ribs, and pulled pork served alongside live blues music. As featured, the segment centered on the restaurant's smoked-meat platters and its outdoor, festival-style dining area. The business is now listed by Google Places as The Shed Barbeque & Blues Joint, with an operational status at 7501 MS-57, Ocean Springs, MS 39565, and its own website, theshedbbq.com, describes online ordering, nationwide shipping, and a history of national barbecue competition wins including Memphis in May and the American Royal. This location matches the existing ddd-0124 record for The Shed, so this entry is logged as an additional appearance rather than a new listing.

A 2011-07-13 episode (S4E8) featured this barbecue joint in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, known for slow-smoked ribs, pulled pork, and a junkyard-style outdoor seating area with live blues music.
