Our first time here but definitely won’t be our last. I wish it didn’t take us so long to come here, it was amazing. The service was great and the food was fantastic. We got ribs, hot link, pulled pork, brisket, cole slaw, potato salad, baked beans, fries and onion rings. Everything was sooo good and we’ve tried a lot of BBQ! This will be our new local fav! Plenty of leftovers after eating too! Great portion and pricing for quality bbq!
edited 2 weeks later to add: we came back and ordered take out less than hour before closing, everything was still phenomenal. The brisket and hot links are our favs so far but everything has been super tasty. Definitely try the brisket

Loved this place! I was traveling through AR when I tried this place. It’s small but truly authentic. I got the combo plate with spare ribs and brisket. Both excellent. The beans and Mac-n-cheese were great too. I highly recommend all. The price was great too and like the small town vibe. If you’re in the area? Go!

Atmosphere just small older building dont let the building fool you. GO IN…..Service was very quick and friendly. Food very tasty didnt need BBQ sauce had good flavor without it. Side dishes were good had the beans, coleslaw, potato salad, and fried orka. GREAT PLACE TO STOP OFF OF THE HIGHWAY.

I would give this a 10 star if possible. I had the half rack of baby back ribs and they were the best I’ve ever had. No joke. Tender, lots of flavor and great sauces to go with them. My husband had the burnt end nacho special, and it was very good. There were lots of burnt ends, and it had very good cheese on it.

We each had the Slaw Hog sandwich with a side of Cheese Taters, then we split a slice of Peanut Butter Chocolate ice cream pie, all to-go, then had a nice little picnic outside. The food was all amazing, the staff were all pleasant & helpful, & I enjoyed the local-style music playing overhead while awaiting my order. This place is very convenient to I-40 travelers & absolutely worth it!

Very reasonable prices. Maybe the best fried okra I’ve had. Beef and cheese sandwich was very balanced flavor and texture and has left me licking my lips for more for the past 30min.

We have wanted to try this BBQ after a friend recommended it. Finally caught it open!! Be sure to call ahead because they are only open until the BBQ is gone. It did not disappoint! The Brisket and ribs were awesome! Pricing was good, too. We will be back for sure!! They have a daily special, too!

Great BBQ. Tasted great, bbq sauce was awesome and after reading other’s reviews. This place is a hidden gem. Must stop to try, I am heading back home to Dallas, TX from Branson, MO and went off course because I wanted to try this place. I was NOT disappointed at all. Service was great and food as well! Will have to stop by again next time I come through.
