Craigs Bar-B-Que - Menu as of 03-18-2023 - Barbeque Near Me - Malvern, Arkansas

I live walking distance so it's somewhere easy to go. Went for the first time last week and it EXCEEDED expectations. The kind lady at the window helped me with the menu and gave me some recommendations on what was good. Waited no more than 3-5 minutes. Got home and food was still warm. I ordered tenders, fries, pork sandwich, and their butterfly shrimp basket. Every bite was better than the last. Flavorful. Definitely my weekend walk spot! read more

Great food and their BBQ is not your copycat BBQ. Worth every penny. Get the coleslaw on the side.

Best BBQ in town and the friendliest service ever. Make sure you get a fried pie, they're delicious. They have awesome catfish dinners as well. We love Craigs!! read more

Great food! Best bbq around!! The last time we went we had the loaded baked potato and bbq nachos. We are still dreaming about it!!

Very good ribs (tender) and fatty brisket (a little dry) but great flavor and good service

Loved everything. I had fried okra, the catfish dinner and fried shrimp. The okra was cooked perfectly and reminded me of my Granny's, so did the catfish dinner. I loved their baked beans and coleslaw. One of my sisters ordered their ribs, and rib tips and we all loved them. read more

We found Craig's acceptable in every aspect of our visit. The Ribs were very well done and the brisket sandwich had plenty of meat and was smoked just the way it should have been. read more

Best loaded potato and bbq !!!don't forget the fish always crispy and delicious. Family operated and so friendly

Barbecue sandwich was great. Always good food here. Always plenty of meat on sandwich.

Stopped at this restaurant today for the first time just passing through town. We weren't sure what we were getting into but it was delicious! It is takeout only and we had to eat in the car but the food made it worth it. We had the pulled pork sandwich with slaw, beans and potato salad. We will definitely be back. read more

While at the drive thru I had to pull around the building like 4 times because my order wasnt ready. I had ordered my food like 20 minutes before getting there. I did not like the pork barbecue sandwich that i ordered. It was dry and tasted weird. The toasted bun was a little burnt along with the price being too high for the amount that is served. read more

Since the day they opened in Malvern at their concession stand through their present location on Page St., Not Once Have They a Disappointed Me! That's a lot of years! I do, however, get the sauce on the side as it can be a little messy and as much meat as there is, I choose to mix. Slaw tops it all off to perfection! read more

Driving west from Little Rock, got a craving for BBQ. Came to Malvern, AR. Looked like nothing but fast food for another 60 miles, so I punched BBQ into the Garmin GPS and up came this place. This is a quintessential American BBQ shack. Ordered 2 lb of ribs (pork) plus drinks for me, the wife, and kids. Wow, were they ever tasty! There's a whole line of awards under the counter inside the shack that you have to look for to see. Well deserved. For an extra 2 minutes of driving, this place "smokes" the chains right off I-30. Very friendly service, free refills on drinks. Gonna make this "pit" stop a tradition! read more

Having driven from Dallas on our way toward Nashville, we stopped for lunch in Malvern, AR. We wanted barbecue. The only nearby place was Craig's several miles off the highway. When we got there we were greeted with a shack with some tables out front and we wondered if we had made a mistake. But then the food came, and it was some of the best barbecue I have ever eaten. I had a pulled pork sandwich and by friend had brisket. Both were exceptional with delicious sauce. This was well worth the extra miles and time. read more

This is really an off the beaten track BBQ. We had never had vinegar based sauce, and was unique. It was the kind of place you tell your friends about. The whole time we were eating it was full of people who had ordered ahead, or were taking orders home. One lady had driven 30 miles to pick up her "normal" order. The take only cash or local checks. read more
