The other BBQ place we went to was out of brisket, so we followed the path to Tim's Tavern BBQ…read more When you drive up it looks like a dive bar with a fabulous covered patio. ***Warning: Results may vary*** There are no accidents. We were meant to experience TT BBQ. Let me just share that this was an experience. We walk in and there are diner style dinner tables with 2 families filling up many spaces, a date night couple and a lone diner. There is a small bar with stools and a special spot for "Mr Murray". (Reminded me of Norm from CHEERS. Mr Murray was not there) I loved that the TV's were off... otherwise I don't think it would have happened the way it did. The server was welcoming and friendly just like a family member you hadn't seen in a while. She answered our questions and was hustling between taking out HOT food to patrons and giving us the scoop on the menu. (Only server there and she kept up with all of us)! We decided on Beef Brisket and Jalapeño Cheese Sausage with 2 sides. Excellent choices, brisket was lean and tender, jalapeño sausage did not disappoint. Bbq sauce was tangy. Our sides were simple and flavorful. We were so hungry, we forgot to take a photo before we dove in. We were talking with the staff and other guests enjoying their meal. One suggested the Banana pudding for dessert and they were correct, it was soooo good. (Later learned it was made by our server, Sarah. Heart Emoji. It felt like grandma's kitchen and the family was gathered and sharing a meal. No strangers. Several take out orders came and went. Tim opened this place 2 years ago to bring good BBQ to the smaller local scene of Benton. (Plus downtown Little Rock is no longer a desirable destination). It may be off the beaten path but so worth the extra couple miles. Had a nostalgic moment when I saw the Horse Ride. OMGoodness so fun, how many times I would beg my daddy to let me ride one of those anytime I saw one. Now I am too big, but loved the memory. There is a great big outdoor patio covered over have where they have live music and events. The look out on over green grass lawn and forest is beautiful. This place is a "Hole in the wall" type but excellent in all areas. Service 5-Stars Food 5-Stars We stayed much longer due to great conversations with the other guests and family feeling. Hopefully you experience the same. Oh, did I tell you we were just visiting? :)

The best barbecue hands-down I've had in Arkansas, and we've had a lot of it! The most hilarious…read morething is, Tim, the owner, specializes in Texas style brisket. Stopped in for lunch the other day and had the macaroni and cheese topped with chopped brisket and asked them to put the sauce on the side because most places just drown their meat in sauce and you can't even taste the beef. There's usually reason they don't want you to taste it. But Tim is VERY talented on that smoker! He was wonderful and honored my request without batting an eye (some chefs get offended). The staff and Tim both chatted with me in between customers and there was a good clip of folks in and out picking up food and raving about it as was I. The sauce is homemade and a family recipe and of course he's serving his grandma's macaroni and cheese, which is different from how I make mine, but it was still really delicious. The best part are the prices - so reasonable I t's not even funny, and I left absolutely stuffed to the brim. Be sure and try their fried pies too, I got a cherry pie to go and it was yummy! I'll drive all the way from Diamondhead on the regular anytime I want brisket because it was just that good. I would've taken photos, but I am held my lunch before I thought to do so. Sounds like a good excuse to go back to Tim's Tavern ;-)

I have been in Arkansas for about a week, and BBQ sat high on my priority list. I drove past Whole…read moreHog Cafe, noticed the sign, and decided to stop in. Friday night felt unusually slow. No wait to order. No wait for food. My order came out in about ten minutes. Speed was fine. Price was not. $31.94 for a two meat combo with burnt ends feels high, especially for the quality served. My tray arrived incomplete. Pulled pork was missing. Staff fixed the issue shortly after, so credit there. Potato salad tasted fine. Heavy ranch flavor. Potatoes were cooked well with some bite left. Decent side. Nothing memorable. Mac and cheese was unacceptable. Tasted like frozen grocery store mac and cheese. No seasoning. No depth. No reason for this to be on the menu. Pulled chicken had solid seasoning but arrived dry and barely warm. Sauce or a large drink felt required. Pulled pork arrived cold and lacked flavor. No smoke presence. No richness, and no moisture whatsoever. Burnt ends looked promising but failed on execution. Served cold. Bark was crisp. Some bites were moist. Other bites were dry. Flavor was average. These were brisket chunks, not true burnt ends. No caramelization. No sauce coating. Sauces were the highlight. Every option tasted good. The #1 classic mild stood out. The #3 tangy and spicy was also strong. Overall experience landed average to below average. The walls advertise BBQ championships, but the food did not support the reputation. Serving cold meat is unacceptable. Serving generic mac and cheese is worse. I expected far more from a place carrying this name.

The reviews were very good, so I went last week on Thursday around noon. Im a fan of Reuben's, so I decided on it for lunch. I also picked up a fresh cut 1lb sirloin steak for supper. I also grabbed a jar of blackberry jelly which looked to have been made in small batches. The sandwich was very good. If I had any complaint, it would be that it was maybe on the small side considering the price but nothing to get too upset about. The steak was great. I made a homemade marinade and let it sit for several hours. I slapped it on the grill, 450 degrees for 3 minutes a side and 3 min on the top rack with reduced heat and it was perfect. I was very pleased. The blackberry jelly was awesome as well. My mother in law is visiting from out of state and I'm about to head up their and get more Steaks for Thai evening.

I preordered this pie on the Monday prior to the weekend it was needed and the kind lady on the phone said she'd make it happen and it'd be $48. (Yes I know crazy expensive for a fancy pie but like I said it was a special occasion and always very tasty). Last summer it was $34, but like everything else in the world things go up. I understand. At pick up on Friday, I was immediately helped by a different kind lady at the counter. It's a small establishment. There were a couple of families eating but not crowded or busy. She went back to the freezer to grab it and a guy from the back said "ring it up as open food put it as pb pie $50." She came out handed it to me and did as he told her to do. After tax it came out to 55 and some change. I asked if she knew the reason for the price change from when I ordered on Monday to pickup on Friday and she answered honestly saying you know I don't know but I'd be happy to ask our owner about it (the guy in the back) she went back there and asked him about it. He rudely yelled at this poor employee "I said it's $50. Tell her She was told wrong!!" I was shocked by his response and tone. The lady was embarrassed and on the verge of tears. She apologized for his answer and asked if I heard all of it. I said yes and apologized for her having to be in the middle since he clearly wasn't coming out from the back. It wasn't about the $2. The pie is already too expensive, but it's the principle of kindness, respect for your employees and customers, and dignity to face things that come up as a business owner. I wasn't looking to get something for nothing. I could care less about $2 but just curious about another increase that clearly wasn't even in there register system because he had to tell her to put it in differently. I should have addressed him right then but after hearing him yell from the back I didn't want to disrupt the other families eating in there any more than they had been already by his attitude and yelling. I will not be back.

It may not be for everyone, especially if you're looking for a more relaxed or upscale dining atmosphere. The environment can be busy and a bit hectic. Families move quickly through the dining area, and you'll likely be getting up often for food while navigating the usual buffet crowd. Service is minimal but efficient--staff clear plates quickly and check on drinks, but it's not a full-service experience. Some of the negative reviews seem to reflect expectations that don't quite match the concept. This is a self-seat, self-serve restaurant focused on volume rather than a high-end dining experience. If you go in with that understanding, it's a decent option for a quick, casual meal
