Wonderful experience at Rib Room! The food was cooked to perfection — the ribs were fall-off-the-bone tender, smoky, and full of flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, and the live music added the perfect touch. The staff was friendly and attentive. Definitely one of the best spots in town!

I took my wife here on the road trip up to Missouri, we were expecting outstanding barbecue. Unfortunately, we did not get it.
Gotta be honest the restaurant itself was cute. Great atmosphere looks like a fun place. In a great part of town.
Our waitress was great she was sweet, kind, and took good care of us
We ordered and promptly received exactly what we ordered fries and a sliced barbecue sandwich each. There were enough fries on each plate to feed two people. A little portion control might be in order here. They were delicious fries. Hand cut just cooked hot delicious
The problem was with the sliced brisket sandwich. The meat was rubbery, tough, and pretty bland. Very little bark
They did trade me out for a pulled chicken sandwich which was better. Not good but better
I can’t recommend a place that I won’t eat at. And I won’t go back here ever.
One star. At best

Hubs and I stopped in on a road trip for some barbecue. I got the sliced brisket sandwich and the coleslaw. The coleslaw was one of the few sides that are made in house- the others they said are premade. The meat was okay, it wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it wasn’t the worst. Hubs ordered the potato with brisket. He said he felt the same- okay, but not super. We did order the pecan cobbler for dessert. Skip it- kinda weird.

The food is great if you love pulled pork, chicken, and brisket. The ribs are really flavorful too. I love the outdoor area, and it’s easy to get a table if you go early. If you’re a smoker, you’ll love the patio, but it’s definitely big enough to accommodate non-smokers and not have them bothered by the smoke.

If you’re looking for true Arkansas barbecue done right, Neumeier’s Rib Room is the place. From the moment the trays hit the table, you know you’re in for the real deal. The smoked wings are phenomenal—crispy skin, juicy inside, with that perfect kiss of smoke. Pair them with the fresh-cut fries and homemade dipping sauces, and you’ve already got a meal worth the trip.
The ribs are exactly what barbecue lovers dream of: tender, smoky, and layered with a bold rub and tangy sauce that packs flavor in every bite. Served simply on a slice of white bread, they let the meat shine without distractions.
And the pulled pork sandwich? Absolute comfort food. Piled high with tender, smoky pork, lightly sauced, and best enjoyed with a side of tangy slaw—it’s the kind of sandwich that keeps you coming back.
What really makes Neumeier’s special is the no-frills, authentic vibe paired with food that speaks for itself. Every bite is smoky, hearty, and deeply satisfying. Whether you’re a rib fanatic, wing lover, or sandwich person, this spot delivers some of the best barbecue you’ll find anywhere.
Bottom line: Neumeier’s Rib Room is a must-stop for anyone passing through Fort Smith. You won’t leave hungry—and you’ll be planning your return before you’ve even finished your plate.

Brought the entire Family out for my son’s birthday. Our waiter was very kind and we really appreciated that. Even considering he went the extra mile and brought extra plates & forks for the cake. Thank you! The food was delicious.

Absolutely loved the loaded pulled pork fries! The portion was huge — definitely enough to share and have leftovers. The flavor was spot on, and the pulled pork was tender and perfectly seasoned. What really took it over the top was the sauce — rich, tangy, and just the right amount of kick. Seriously addictive.
Also, shoutout to our amazing waitress! I asked her for a surprise fruity drink, and she totally nailed it. Refreshing, fun, and full of flavor — exactly what I was hoping for. Great food, great service — I’ll definitely be back!

Meh is the best this place can offer the food is food but don’t head here for a good lunch experience. The fries are under cooked and dripping with grease. Pulled pork sandwich was bland with the drop of sauce they add and none on the table to add more. Servers were there but unhelpful, unfriendly, and not worth tipping. This is probably the most real review they received in probably 2023. It was voted best of the best but it probably paid for that review.

Greeted immediately . Sat in bar area. Super cool! Told the waitress we had never been before. She helped us order. Got “little bit of everything” to try. Excellent. Another waiter brought me a sample of cheesy has browns to try. AMAZING. The atmosphere, the staff, the food… all wonderful. We will be back for sure!

Great service. Great atmosphere and decor. I had the ribs, bbq beans, and okra. The bbq beans were a little too sweet for me, but I’m sure others would like them. The okra was good. The ribs were a little tough. I ordered them dirty. I do like the choices of ordering them. When in town, I’ll be back to try other meals.
