    On the road north through AR we came across Ashdown at lunch time. We didn't feel like fast food, so we were glad to find Big Jake's. Diverse BBQ menu. 4 tasty sauces. Free pinto beans. Pretty good BBQ. It's in a relatively new building and they have big screens on the walls. I got the pulled pork and smoked sausage. I also tasted their brisket. Definitely better than fast food. I liked their sauces, especially the sweet mustard sauce. Their other sweet and their original sauces were great. I did not try their hot bbq sauce. Sides were good, especially their baked beans. Fries are fresh cut and the baked potatoes are huge. 4 stars b/c it's not great, sauces were above avg and it's a great alternative to fast food in a small town.

    Best service in Ashdown area. The food is good they make you feel like your are welcome at anytime

    Enjoying BBQ.

    I couldn't find a lot online telling me what Ashdown had to offer. I left my hotel (Economy Inn) and just walked around, looking for something to eat. Most of downtown was closed around 6pm, so it took a bit! I came upon Big Jakes BBQ and was intrigued! You stand in line to order kind of like a fast food joint, but you sit down and they bring your order to you when it's finished. I selected a brisket meal. It was all delicious, but the brisket was the least delicious part of it. It was a little dry. The fries and macaroni were divine!! The service was good and the environment was neat. If you find yourself in this odd town, I recommended it! The parking was a little odd...a creepy dirt parking lot that was dark, and had a train track running through it.

    I'm not usually a big fan of pinto beans but Big Jake's has all you want 'free' pintos with any meal and they are definitely the best I've ever had. I'd come just for the beans, if fact I have. That said the Bar-B-Que is very good. Potato salad is very good. Cole slaw is ok but nothing special. I highly recommend the place, especially if you're a beans and bar-b-que person.

    Too pricey for what it is, and the kid that took the order had to be told 4 different times and still messed it up.

    As an immigration attorney we rarely visit outdoors but this place is fantastic if anyone want to…read moreenjoy with friends and family and BBQ will make you joy

    Okay! Broken Bow is not known for good food or reasonable…read moreprices and YET we found Naaman's. It was completely a fluke, but we are so glad we did. We were staying really close by and had driven by but were on our way to eat elsewhere. When three other spots fell threw we figured we had no other choice but to check out Naaaman's. The outside does not do the food justice. It's a humble spot with lots of tables, both long and short, high or low and you order at the counter. The service is top notch with knowledgable staff (food restrictions), big smiles and a lot of kindness. We ordered; 2 Brisket sandwiches - meat piled high and super fresh. Even the bun was incredibly fresh and tasty! 2 slider plates- chicken and pulled pork. Both were seasoned to perfection, tender and fresh. The rolls were just as good as the full size buns A Meat Plate with Pulled Pork - absolutely delectable. Sides of Adult Mac & Cheese, Green Beans, Cheesy Corn. Oh my gosh they were all amazing. The Adult Mac & Cheese was licked clean from the bowl. The Green Beans had a spice to them that had me drinking the juice they came in and the Cheese Corn was a hit! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and would have come back again if we were staying another night.
