I might have been born in this beautiful section of the world, but unfortunately I have very little experience with the local cuisine here! My experience at Bar-B-Que Shack might have been a mistake, B'cause now my expectations are higher than ever LOL !! o______o This review is for the experience I had when visiting my cousin in Jacksonville Wednesday, January the 17th. The timing couldn't have been better when we chose to go. Business was slow, allowing her and I to get comfy and situated at the table we chose. Their display pieces around the restaurant were really neat, and the individuals running it were welcoming and all smiles. We took our time enjoying our amazing food and such. At some point one of the owners, Adrian visited us at our table to see how we were doing. As sweet as he could be, he made sure we were comfortable and satisfied. ^__^ The ribs didn't stand a chance. lol Them spicy collard greens spun me for a loop due to how amazing they were as well. More frustrating Food standards I'll argue with myself for the remainder of my Days I guess! haha Their fried okra was bomb too! Everything exceeded my expectations! My cousin loved her loaded BBQ nachos she chose. A bit too saucy for her, but that didn't negatively influence our overall experience by one bit! Would I suggest this place to anyone ever? Absolutely! read more

This place is fire. I've had every meat option they offer. The brisket is tender, and their meats have the smoke flavor I crave when eating BBQ. Their smoked Mac and cheese is the best side dish. To top it off, the customer service is phenomenal. I eat here often and recommend it to anyone who love's BBQ. read more

This hole in the wall is the perfect lunch stop. The pulled pork is juicy and Smokey. The sauce is solid. I had the baked potato with chicken, as of this review, it only ran me a cool $11 and there was more than enough for two meals. These folks are from Victoria TX and they know how to make good food. It's more than worth it to come and eat. read more

Amazing food and great service, I would absolutely recommend this place I had the ribs, so tender and delicious

I have eaten here many times and the food has always been great. The service is pretty simple. You order at the counter and they call your number when your food is ready. The new owner has fixed up the interior some, but it could use a little more sprucing up. Overall, it's a great place to eat BBQ. read more

Ok, been a while since I've been to this place because the BBQ was sub par. They have new owners now so I decided to try them out and got the kids rib plate. The ribs were cooked well, great seasoning, and moist. Fries hot and crunchy. My wife got the pulled pork plate with smoked Mac n cheese. Food was on point. I will go back often. My holdback on 5 stars is that my wife's sandwich had very little pulled pork on it. It was pretty flat. TASTY but pretty flat. Service was great!! Oh, if they wanna win a bigger crowd they need to cook more ribs. If not they will lose the dinner crowd. Gotta get your ribs before 5pm if you want some. read more

Great staff. Highly recommend the loaded baked potato with brisket. I got without BBQ sauce which worked for me because I found th sauce a little too spicy. My husband had pulled pork sandwich with bbq sauce and coleslaw and he loved every bite. read more

Food was great! I had a big catering order and smoking cannon pulled though amazingly

Stopped by with my friend from work. Wanted to try this place for the BBQ. The staff was nice and the sandwich combo hit the spot. I I would have given 5 stars but just me would have liked more of the bbq sauce. Will ask for extra sauce next time. Will try something else and update post. Oh yeah they also have a drive thru. read more

Before you go to the reopened BBQ Bar-B-Que Shack just know this is the brisket meal for 12.99 plus tax and when I got home with the food and saw it i tried to take it back and they would not give me my money back. No bbq sauce just regular white bread from Walmart. If you want to get screwed go there I guess read more

Bar-B-Que Shack - Unhappy consumers. The owner was extremely rude. He also made races and vulgar remarks. - Barbeque Near Me - Jacksonville, Arkansas

Barbecue is very good. I would rate it at nine very good customer service. The meat was very tender and flavorful, very smoky and a generous amount. Four stars. read more

The Bar-B-Que Shack has the best barbecue in Arkansas, I highly recommend the four piece ribs, great slaw and sides. The chopped sandwich is also excellent. Their service is exceptional and the ambiance is homey and clean, don't wait to go, it's under new management!!! read more

This place is awful. Walked in with a party of 9, we had to put our own tables together. Employees looked at us like we were crazy. Food was awful. We ordered a frito chili pie that was cold, Mac n cheese was cold, bbq plate was not edible. Total waste of money. I do not suggest this establishment at all. The bbq sauce has a horrible twang to it. read more

Bar-B-Que Shack - BBQ plate with baked beans and potato salad - Barbeque Near Me - Jacksonville, Arkansas

Oh Emma Gee! Chely had a chicken sandwich and steak fries.... Banging! I had a half rack (6 ribs) and two sides potato salad and baked beans. Texas toast buttered like nobody's business.. Ribs were wet. Dry is also an option. Pulled pork sandwiches looked good. Customer service was great too. You know it's good when you get your shirt dirty. $ was good, both ate for $27. Definitely need to serve bibs with the meal. Don't eat and drive. read more

I got the pork plate with fried okra and beans. The place came on the recommendation of the co worker and I love the smoking Cannon out front. The nice smoky smell of Q in the air as you get our of the car was an illusion. The Q was fairly dry even with it being overly lathered in a mediocre bbq sauce. The beans are average with the same sauce and a little pork mixed in. I liked the crispness of the okra but it needed some salt. For dessert I had a "homemade fried pie." Well not homemade but I should have gotten it with some ice cream to flavor it up some if you get my drift. The service was just bad. The lady behind the counter/cook as well had ZERO life/emotion to her. I felt I had inconvenienced her somehow and I had an urge to apologize yet not knowing why. She barely looked at me or spoke to me until I was leaving. I'm not sure why I gave it two stars to be honest. Oh wait! The smoking Cannon out front, that's right. read more

Great fresh food in a friendly environment. Love their homemade slaw, pork and barbecue sauce. Topped it off with a fried pie...

We ordered through a delivery service last night and oh man was it good! We ordered a family pack with chicken, as well as the tamale plate with chili and cheese. Great flavors! Everything was prepared well and we loved it! We will be ordering again soon! read more
