Based on all the great reviews, we went to the food truck for lunch as we passed through on the way from Nashville to Little Rock. When we got there Byron told use that if we wanted to sit down he could take us to their new sit down restaurant. He hopped in his truck and we followed him to Hanks Place. What great customer service. I agree with other reviews that this is the best bbq. I also agree that you can smell the smoke before you see the restaurant. I had the rib plate and it was fantastic. The beans were great too. The surprise was the cold slaw. I was skeptical about apple in slaw but it was delicious. Unfortunately I don't get to this part often so I am not sure I will ever be back but I sure hope to. Great family and great food!!! read more

Baker's Bar-B-Que - The sit down option down the road - Barbeque Near Me - Brinkley, Arkansas

In a town of practically nothing lies an old RV trailer and smoker in downtown Brinkley, AR. Before you even see it, you can smell it from a mile away. Inside this trailer two women are preparing some UH-MAZING BBQ. The menu outside of the trailer lists jumbo pork, rib sandwich, and smoked sausage, but on the day we visited there was only jumbo pork. We placed our order from outside the trailer door, and the cooks got busy whipping up our sandwiches. The pulled pork sandwich is HUGE, loaded with pork, apple coleslaw, and a slightly vinegar BBQ sauce. The smoky pork is both melt-in-your-mouth and crispy from the bites of tender meat and chunks of burnt ends, and the sweet slaw gives you that additional crunch. It was by far one of the THE BEST pulled pork sandwiches of my life. Seriously, I can't even come up with one complaint about this BBQ masterpiece. Before heading out of town, we stopped here again for a to-go order to bring home for a family member, and the cooks were so flattered with our second appearance. I had to spend hours in the car salivating because of the intoxicating smell of smoke and sauce. I'm not kidding though: you'd be NUTS not to stop in downtown Brinkley for some BBQ from Baker's. Bypass the chains for something incredible and made with love. read more

Baker's Bar-B-Que - Barbeque Near Me - Brinkley, Arkansas

Had a wonderful experience dining from the produce of Baker's barbecue in Brinkley Arkansas on route 70. This food truck on a corner lot makes southern style country barbecue the way it was intended to be made. It is a two handed sandwich chuck full of juicy pork meat, slaw, and slightly spicy slaw (mild). It is on the messy side, with some fat in it, but it is worth the gustatory sensation. Highly recommended for those seeking out southern food culture. read more

Best barbecue in Arkansas, hands down. Don't stop anywhere else or you'll regret it. Get the spicy pulled pork and hang on-it's amazing! The smoker was going when we pulled up and you can taste what for real smoked pork tastes like right here. Sauce was a little sweet, a lotta spicy, with just a touch of cinnamon. My tastebuds were in heaven. read more

Happened on this place while traveling to Virginia Beach for the 2018 Collie Club of America Specialty dog show. We had the pulled pork plate which was awesome. The baked beans are to die for. For dessert we had cheesecake which was delicious. Everything was wonderful. Felt like I was eating with family as everyone was so nice. Do not miss this gem in Brinkley! It's worth the drive. read more

Baker's Bar-B-Que - ows eggs in a nest - Barbeque Near Me - Brinkley, Arkansas

Definitely worth a detour! I live in Memphis, my husband is on a Memphis in May BBQ team, and I grew up regularly eating Big Bob Gibson's. This is by far THE BEST pulled pork I have ever tried in my life. Just the right amount of bark, the sauce is not too sweet and not too vinegary with some notes of black pepper, and the coleslaw is absolutely perfect (I think I saw some apples in it). He even toasts the bun on his flat top grill. Mr. Baker is extremely friendly and he even offered our dog a free sausage. Definitely knows what he's doing and was excited to show off what was cooking on his smoker. We were so impressed we have ordered a rack of ribs that we are picking up in a few days and I'm super excited to report back because I'm sure they will be just as good as the pork. read more

Some of the best barbecue I have had in a long time. I literally have stopped by here every single day while visiting from Houston. I used to drive all the way to the place close to Hazen but I am glad I stopped by to try this place. Finger licking good food. No complaints at all. read more

Good darn BBQ. Mr Baker is a good man and makes a really good pulled pork/slaw sandwich. Mine was spicy. He had me try the smoked hot link as well. Yup. I'm coming back. Oh and yesterday he saved our fathers life by helping him and calling 911. Thank you Mr Baker!! God bless you sir. Oh yeah got some green tomatoes, okra, taters and melon from mr Norman. Love it. read more

My family and I have eaten Baker's BBQ several times....hint...several times. We had an opportunity to eat at Hank's bbq. We were excited to see that the restaurant featured Baker's BBQ. We enjoyed eating and sharing conversation with people from other cities. We traveled from Memphis to Brinkley for the fabulous food and friendly atmosphere. Way to go Hanks...Baker's BBQ is the best. read more

Delicious!! The Cole slaw was fantastic and the pork was cooked perfectly. I wish we could give it 6 stars!
