I ordered the 3 cheese sausage but they gave me the jalapeno/pineapple instead. I got all of this to go so I didn't notice until I got to my destination. It was really good though even if not my first choice. Baked beans are phenomenal! Smoky, meaty, sweet, peppers. So good - maybe best I've had anywhere. Mac n cheese was seriously lacking flavor. Didn't taste like cheese - just pasta. Needed some seasoning and maybe a smoked cheese or something for more flavor. I would NOT get it again. Green beans had good flavor but was season-less as well. Potato salad was good - mayo based. Bread was just toast - no butter or seasoning. Little frustrated with the service to go. I ordered a few different sauces to try but they just threw them all in the bag and I didn't know what was what. Colors were the same too so I couldn't tell. Would be nice to get some moist towelettes or something in the to go bags too. Ordered to go this time but I've eaten inside before. Restaurant always looks clean and well maintained. Family friendly. Modernish bbq look. Nicely done. Workers are nice and helpful.

I've tried Dallas BBQ, Fort Worth BBQ, and even Chinese BBQ. Who would have thought that Fort Smith BBQ would be on top. My experience: I came with my girlfriend and ordered catfish with ribs + okra and beans then for dessert an apple pie. I was happy that the okra was pipping hot and delicious. Great! Then I tried the catfish... Woah.. fresh, crispy, juicy catfish. Okay. Didn't expect it to be that good but whatever. Then I dipped it in the tarter sauce - okay. Now they must be kidding me. Even the tarter sauce was good. I loved the ribs, the sauce, everything! It was delicious! So what did you think I thought when I tried the Apple pie? 5/5 The people are great too

I usually reserve judgment on a restaurant until after we've made a follow-up visit, in case they…read morewere having a good/bad day. But I'll give a review on our experience tonight! Cute place, not terribly crowded. Friendly server. They start you off with two kinds of pickles: one sweet (though they are pickled with jalapenos) and your more sour/salty pickle - both were excellent. I got three meats and two sides: chopped chicken, hot links, smoked sausage, hush puppies, and baked beans. Both of us liked the chicken! They are more of a dry rub place, though sauce is available (vinegar-based). The hot links weren't what I'd call "hot" - more salty, but tasty. The smoked sausage had more of a kick to it, a nice smokiness with a kick at the end. The hush puppies were a little bit of a let-down as I found them to be a bit denser than I would prefer, but they were cooked in fresh grease, so props to them for that. The baked beans tasted homemade and I rather enjoyed them and I'm not normally a fan. My husband got the all-you-can-eat catfish and ribs plate with coleslaw and okra. I tried a bite of the coleslaw and thoroughly enjoyed it - again, it tasted homemade as I could really taste the freshness of the cabbage. Didn't try the okra, but Khoa ate them all, so he must have liked 'em. He had never had ribs before and wasn't a fan (he doesn't like fatty cuts of meat), so I gave him my chicken for his ribs: I enjoyed the ribs. Again, they come with a dry rub that offers some nice seasoning without overpowering your palate. The fried catfish was fresh and delicious; I would definitely come back here for the catfish! We enjoyed it enough to go again, so I would recommend giving it a try.

That's why I gave it a 4 vs a 5 - price point is very high and you cook your own food - unless you purchase from the menu which is what I will plan to do if I go again. The service is fine and the folks were friendly - that should be for steak prices - for a family of 4 - we spent $200+/- with tip - why tip if you cook your own food!?!? I don't mind places like this - they are cool for something different but probably isn't my fave way to spend the money and the night cooking. I can do it cheaper at home - and usually better too IMO.

I'm glad there is a hot pot/bbq place in Fort Smith. I like how there is no rush to finish, only a…read morefee if there are leftovers. The sauce bar is plentiful of ingredients, so you can make a sauce to taste. Because of these factors, I leave with a full belly. I would say eating here is a bit pricey for the amount of options and limits they have, but it's a nice place to eat with friends or family. It would be nice if the octopus/calamari was served unseasoned and for all of the ingredients to be interchangeable for hotpot or bbq. I feel like this limit causes people to be less open to purchasing one option over the other, or could pose as a deal breaker -- sometimes I end up not going because I'm in the mood for octopus in soup. Other comments: I also think it's out of the ordinary for octopus to be grilled over being boiled in Asian cuisine, but this can be an unpopular opinion of mine. Also when ordering a serving of tofu, I only get 3-4 small tofu blocks. Only a minor inconvenience. Service is fast and friendly, and it's nice how proactive the servers are.

We paid around $40 for two meals, drinks, and some delightful chocolate chip cookies. They don't serve alcohol but the sodas were cold and refreshing. The hogwild beans had a little heat to them but not a lot. The potato salad was really delicious. The jambalaya was a tad bland but still good. They were sold out of corn, so we got green beans; we did enjoy them, nice seasoning. The smoked sausage was great. No bbq sauce needed though I of course did add some. I liked the sweet bbq sauce the best. Again, the spicy sauce wasn't all that spicy. Maybe my tastebuds are just used to Thai spice! I'd definitely recommend checking out this place.
