This place feels like stepping into living history. I pulled in early on a weekend hoping to grab a quick bite and I did. It is tiny, just a couple of tables, but the pork sandwiches were smoky sweet and the sauce had a real kick from vinegar and cayenne. I know it is famous for a reason—James Beard, hall of fame—yet it still feels like your high school buddy’s secret spot who just smokes the best meat around.
It is popular so they often sell out before lunch. I waited too long another day and came back with mashed hearted regret. That said, nothing fancy but it stuck with me all day in a good way.

This is a hidden gem in Arkansas that has been serving up wholesome bbq food to the local community for over 100 years.
I had the pulled pork bbq sandwich with slaw and the flavours were great.
The selection is not very broad, and things tend to run out, but it’s definitely worth a stop by – not only for its important historic legacy.
– Value for money? Phenomenal
– Worth a detour? Yes
– Best for (occasion)? Roadside, unpretentious bbq meal
– Would I go back? Yes

What a wonderful discovery. Heard about this place in a random search for a place to eat between Little Rock and Oxford Mississippi. So grateful to have stopped and eaten here. Besides the absolute perfection of our pulled pork sandwich, the fragrance of the wood and authenticity of a roadside barbecue cafe made this a highlight of our southern sojourn from Little Rock down to New Orleans.

I’m 50 years old and went to school right across the road. I live about 90 miles away now and still drive all the way down here once or twice a year to get some barbecue from this old man you just can’t beat it.

So this may have been the best BBQ I have ever had. 3.50 for a sandwich that literally melted in my mouth. If you are looking for something fancy, keep looking. Bit if good food is what you want…this is amazing stuff.

Meat is so good it doesn’t need sauce. Extremely reasonably priced. We live about 900 miles away and would definitely buy if Mr Jones would ship

A BBQ mecca lives up to its hype. Simplicity is genius. One meat, no sides, all good.

Classic Arkansas bbq. Been around a long time. Pulled pork sandwich already made, wrapped, and put in a warmer. Bread is soggy. The employee working had us go behind the counter and do his job of getting and putting the coleslaw on the sandwich. That was a first for me. Not sure what it takes to win the James Beard Award but that probably aint it. Would not go back, even with their decades of being in business and awards.

Best pulled pork sandwich I have had in my entire life of seeking out BBQ. James Beard award winner for a reason. Great family business.
