    Really good 'que sandwich!!! The meat was moist and full of favor, slaw w/apple bits was a good touch.

    Side eating view of sandwich

    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.

    Spicy pulled pork sandwich

    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.

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

    So you guys is this BBQ award winning?

    This is not the kind of barbecue I would put in a contest. It is good honest meat, nothing fancy. For someone now living in California, this place tastes like home.

    Went to Lackeys as part of a BBQ challenge Put on by the Arkansas times. Found the place locked…read moreup. No one around. The building is falling apart. Literally. Sign on the door and drive thru said New Hours. Closed Mon-Tues. open at 8 Wed-Sun. I was there in the middle of the day on Wed. Anyway. Don't waste your time traveling to Newport for Lackeys. They closed up shop and bailed on the challenge.

    Well, people. Let me tell you a story. My family and I are on our way through Arkansas to Texas. On…read morethe way we wanted to experiment with ChatGPT to give us some good ideas for some amazing Arkansas Cuisine. ChatGPT recommended this place. Let me tell you, when ChatGPT says it can be wrong, it can be very wrong! You pull up to this red shack and notice the sign to tell you "This is the place" is 80% gone with missing lettering. The shack it self looks like it's ac window units are about to shatter and fall out of the window seals. Anyways, so you pull up, open your car doors, and the family is excited for some good ol' fashion family bbq. You walk into the door and... your feet are sticking to the floor. Well okay maybe someone spilled something, then you walk and realize, you were right! Someone did spill something, over the entire floor! Some of the floor is missing sections as well. Also, the atmosphere does not smell like bbq, grilling, frying, or anything else. It smells like urine. No other way to describe it. The ceiling above our head by our round table looked like it wanted to collapse on our heads. The bathroom... the bathroom should tell you all you need to know about this place. I know you're thinking, "why did we stay and order food". Well, we thought maybe, just maybe, it's a diamond in the rough. It's not a diamond, it's just in the rough. We ordered our food, grilled catfish, hush puppies, beef bbq plate, pulled pork sandwich, Tamala's, etc. Let me break these down for you piece by piece. Grilled Catfish - edible, small, expensive, and sad. Hushpuppies - Burnt and about as hard as marbles. Beef bbq plate - beef is decent, props. However, the coleslaw, flavorless, the beans, sad, and the Texas Toast, just toast, oh well. Pulled pork sandwich with Cajun fries - sandwich, absolutely flavorless, Cajun fries, fries with salt and pepper. Tamales - Good, but not worth the price. Presented poorly, and with the atmosphere, scary. Did I mention the food was served one-person at a time? Every single person had time to finish their plate before the next person got their plate. Also, the containers of Tartar sauce and ranch were grimy and spotted with black specks. I tried to squeeze out some ranch, but only a thin white liquid came out. What does this tell you about how this place cleans and stores their condiments? The people are kind, it's not the workers personality. It's the condition of the establishment that do a number on this place. Why do I want to eat food from a place that doesn't take care of itself? Does that mean it doesn't take care of their food? I will not always give places chances, and I don't know if you, reader, will either. However, if you do, do not give this place your chance. This place needs work, and a lot of it. However, ChatGPT did say this was authentic Arkansas cuisine, so maybe that is exactly what we got.
