From Our Table to the Mississippi Gulf Coast

Established in 2020 by educators Kyle and Jessica Mickelson, Micks’d Up Kitchen has grown into an award-winning craft barbecue operation serving smoked meats to the Mississippi Gulf Coast. Built on a “small batch” philosophy, we focus on locally sourced ingredients, sides made from scratch, and thoughtfully crafted dishes that go beyond traditional barbecue.

What truly sets us apart is our commitment to originality. We cook exclusively with real wood on a traditional offset smoker, embracing the time, skill, and attention required to produce true craft barbecue. Our ever-changing menu features everything from classic smoked meats to unique, house butchered proteins and even vegetarian options, ensuring every visit is both fresh and memorable.

By prioritizing quality over quantity, we create food that reflects true craftsmanship, attention to detail, and a passion for doing things differently—some might even call it a little “Micks’d Up.”
