I live in Memphis , I love BBQ ... I love all styles of BBQ if done right ( Memphis, Carolina, Texas.... and others )... so when I go to a typical BBQ restaurant and I'm out of town outside of a notorious BBQ city , I don't ever expect much. I was VERY pleasantly surprised with my ribs tonight ( first time customer). I would def come back. Great option if you are in the area and need to eat (perhaps the best option) Sign said they were short handed ... but the food came out quick! Service was super and super friendly. I love writing a well deserved positive review.... bravo Brothers BBQ * one reason I like these ribs is that they are not over cooked , fall of the bone , mush They more closely resemble a competition rib ... with some bite. By the way, I'm not saying these are the best ribs I've ever had ( no disrespect to the establishment) ... but they were Very good. My go to in Memphis would be The BBQ Shop (on Madison) as a reference read more

The two of us each ordered half a rack of ribs with two sides, which included coleslaw, beans, potato salad. The ribs must have been sitting there a while the bark was super thick, dry and way over salted. 2 Barbecue sauces, mild or hot were disappointing, couldn't taste because of the salt. The iced tea was pretty good with a piece of pie and a tip It came to $60 for lunch. Should have gone to Verona's and had pasta read more

Their menu is very good, lots of variety. Very good Bbq. The service is always great. They get your food out in a timely manner. The restaurant is always clean and in a good location. Highly recommend Brother'sBarbeque read more

We stayed at the hotel near this place and said let's give it a shot , well we weren't disappointed! It was fantastic. Lord don't let me short change the bbq nachos - they are delicious. I hurt myself here . Great food , great area , and great people. read more

Great service food taste really good too like a home quick meal. I really enjoyed that really kind folks who work here. Looking forward to going back. read more

Great bar-b-que.great portions Friendly wait staff and servers. It is a little loud though.

Pretty darn good pulled pork with a nice smoky flavor. Served with two sauces, this BBQ joint hit the spot with my group. The beans and slaw were also good. We ordered take away and the food was ready when promised. Friendly staff. Inside looked clean and inviting. read more

See all

The bbq was excellent and our server Jaime was a super friendly helpful person ! We will be back when we visit again ! PM read more

Good first visit to Brothers! I had the smoked chicken sandwich and chips. The chicken was very tender. The sauces are the real story, though. Both are vinegar based and the "hot" one has some extra kick. Will definitely be back when I'm in town next time! read more

The food is great. It reminds me of the One and Only BBQ in Memphis. That is the best BBQ in Memphis. Your pulled pork and ribs are delicious. Slaw is very important to Memphis folks and yours is complimentary to your BBQ. I haven't tried your Potato Salad or your deserts yet, but I look forward to trying them. read more

I had the pulled pork nachos. They were very good and it was a huge plate. It was even delicious reheated. My said the slaw was excellent. Not a large amount of seating and the restaurant was full so it was loud inside but the food was great. read more

I try BBQ establishments in new places I go. Brother's BBQ in Heber Springs is average. I had pulled pork sandwich, potato salad, baked beans, and Cole slaw. The meat was good but it's hard to screw up pulled pork. I've seen it done in a few places but it's usually the safest bet to be good. The beans were ok. Not enough bbq in them for my liking. The Cole slaw was very good. Great taste, sweet but not too sweet, and it wasn't juicy and runny. The mustard based potato salad was not very good. It was edible but I didn't eat it all. It tasted like the potato salad you buy in the deli section of Walmart. In fact I'm pretty sure that's exactly where it came from. Servers were very friendly, atmosphere was nice. Nothing horrible and nothing exceptional. Just your average run of the mill BBQ restaurant. read more

Order the ribs (dry rub). They are amazing. If you like vinegar the vinegar slaw is great - if vinegars not you thing, definitely avoid that version of their slaw. Sweet tea is always a good addition too. read more

Great food and service. Extensive menu choices. If you're a Fried Bologna guy, give their's a try.

Wow I enjoy the BBQ rib senior platter. More than enough. Friendly bunch. Just sit down and relax.

Great food, great service & great people! Highly recommended the pulled beef plate or pulled pork sandwich.

Best barbecue I have ever eaten! We like to go at least once a week. Friendly staff and busy place on the weekends!

I'm a rib guy. Very picky when it comes to ribs. Appears Memphis has nothing on this place. The ribs at Brother's were very good. A dry rub is applied and appears a home made BBQ can be added with a hint of a bite that makes this combination of the two very flavorful. Likely the thickest and juiciest ribs to be had within a couple hundred miles, yes including BBQ locales in Memphis. Only things missing was beef brisket on their menu. Very friendly and a quaint family restaurant. Will make this a favorite when passing through Heber Springs. read more

First class barbecue sandwich. Smallish portions of slaw and potato salad. A very good and reasonably priced lunch. Service is outstanding.

Some of the best barbecue I have had. Very clean and great service. Will go there time and time again. Always good.

I have never eaten here, but my Fiancé has eaten here multiple times with his buddies. It stays very busy. You can eat in or take out. He says that it is just outstanding and it always has been. He loves everything on the menu, including the multiple types of homemade pies and banana pudding for dessert. All of the barbecue sauces and sides are made from scratch. They even make onion rings, fried okra, giant baked potatoes, fried pickles, wings, baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad and cheese sticks. He really loves the ribs, pulled pork, brisket and the barbecue nachos the best. They have an excellent sampler plate that is excellent to share. They even have barbecue salads, which are awesome. You can get a hamburger or a grilled blackened bologna sandwich. You will love everything on the menu!!! The staff is so kind and friendly. It is a family owned business and he has known the owner for years and just brags about what a wonderful guy and an excellent fisherman he is. We just wrote this review and we will be going there tomorrow! read more

Food was absolutely the best !! Had bar b que nachos, wonderful! Pulled pork plate , super smoke taste. Sauce really good as well. Most folks around us getting the bar b que stuffed baked potatoes, will try that next time we go back, which I hope is soon. read more

Those days that I crave an excellent barbecue dinner, I always head to Brother's. Their meat seems like it's served straight from the pit. I've never left disappointed with the food, and the service is excellent. read more

Best bbq in the surrounding area. If you're in Heber, you should definitely consider Brother's.

Best bar b que north of Texas, try the stuffed baked potato, Jumbo cheese burger is best you will find in Heber.

It's okay. The ribs were too salty to eat. The bbq sauce and the slaw all tasted exactly the same. Like vinegar as did the beans. Service is outstanding but I won't go back here for bbq . Seems like a lot of others like the bbq so you be the judge. I just know that I couldn't eat mine due to the meat being over salted ! Woah thee Sally read more

We've been coming here for many years, dependable great food and service. Staff is always friendly.

Ohh Brothers. Best pork BBQ I have had. Visiting heber Springs with my daughter and we got luck with Brothers next to hotel / Holiday Inn. Pork was very flavorful. Family atmosphere. Great friendly service. Sides also rock. Cole slaw and potato salad. read more

Good quick service, it was lunchtime but the waitresses were hustling and making sure the drinks were full and food came out quick and correctly. The waitresses created a good atmosphere/ ambiance by hustling and checking on each other read more

Friendly and efficient service. Great BBQ and sides. Stay away from the desserts. They're not made in-house or locally sourced--come from food distributor. read more

Ribs were smoked nicely, but they really do a disservice by putting their seasoning on them before serving...it leaves them VERY salty. Pulled pork was very good, moist and smoked well. Coleslaw was very well done. Beans were so-so. I couldn't tell if they tasted salty because I was eating them along with the ribs, or if they too were doused with salt? Anyways, while this was a decent dining experience overall, I think others have been very generous with their ratings. read more

Went after climbing Sugarloaf mountain. Fantastic food and equally great service. Grandson found the place on his phone. Glad he did. BBQ was great. Grandkids got the BBQ nachos. We got the pulled pork plate. We will be back. read more

As an avid bbq consumer, I highly recommend trying brothers bbq. I have traveled to multi states and had "prized" bbq, and where the bbq was tasty, the sides lacked. Well, not at Brother's BBQ, they have perfected the course, the smoked dry rubbed ribs are fall of the bone perfect, the bbq beans are consistently amazing, and then we get to the rolls... these bad boys are literally floating in butter. If you're looking for BBQ, this is your spot! read more

Wow! Great BBQ and very friendly staff! Will definitely be back! We had the BBQ & Rib combo! Yummy :-)

I will preface this review and state that I am from Texas and have ate at some of the greatest BBQ joints in the world which just happen to be in Texas. They ruined for me what would otherwise be decent run of the mill places. Brothers would still not fall into the decent category. The food at Brothers Barbecue isn't great. The ribs were dry and the pulled pork was okay. The sides weren't bad and the roll was the highlight. It's not a good situation when the highlight of a BBQ place is the rolls. The sauce reminded me of KC Masterpiece but maybe a little thinner. Not impressed. Maybe my BBQ standards are too high, but this place was mediocre to poor at best. Later in the day I got fairly sick after eating here. I paid for it. Never again. read more

Great barbeque, and coming from Memphis, that's saying alot. I honestly look forward to coming here when coming over to the lake. Awesome meat, baked beans, soft rolls, and great free sweet tea. Yup, it's that good. read more

Best BBQ sandwich in town hands down! Best coleslaw in town. I've only eaten the pulled pork sandwiches (many times) so I can't speak for anything else. Love the hot sauce, little runny but good kick. read more

I love barbecue and Brother's is definitely the best I've found in Heber Springs. Granted this is a small town, but I believe small towns offer some of the best competition when it comes to home cookin. And Brother's BBQ is a fine example. The quality of the meat is excellent. It's prepared and cooked superbly with great selections of classic sides such as baked beans or potato salad. The portions are quite large, always leaving me with leftovers to take home. In fact, stay away from here if you're on a diet. And clear your schedule for a few hours after the meal, as the only thing you will want to do after eating here is take a nap! read more

One of my customer's recommended this place to try out for bbq. I got the brisket plate with baked beans and coleslaw. I didn't really like the bbq sauces that you could put on it. The "hot" was not that spicy at all but more of a vinegar-y taste. I stuck with the other sauce, which I assume was the mild. The bread that came with it was nice and soft. I liked the sides as well. I'm kinda picky about coleslaw and this wasn't too shabby. b read more
