When we got there Byron told use that if we wanted to sit down he could take us to their new sit down restaurant. He hopped in his truck and we followed him to Hanks Place. What great customer service. I agree with other reviews that this is the best bbq. I also agree that you can smell the smoke before you see the restaurant. I had the rib plate and it was fantastic. The beans were great too. The surprise was the cold slaw. I was skeptical about apple in slaw but it was delicious.

I ordered the ribs and brisket and absolutely loved it! The ribs were cooked perfectly. The brisket was equally awesome. Their portions are generous for a good price. The interior is decorated like most bbq places. You can smell the cooking going on in the back. Their sides as well are delicious. The mac and cheese was my favorite. I only get to visit this area once a year and I'm totally looking forward to next year. No pictures because we chowed it all down before we thought of it. Trust me, I hope you can smell this place in my review.

It seemed that our waitress paid far more attention to people who she knew. Before we knew it, a second waitress took our orders. It took a significant amount of time for our food to arrive. I liked their economical daily special of country fried steak, green beans, mashed potatoes with gravy (choice of brown or white), and a roll. My favorite was the "steak", which was actually a breaded and fried hamburger patty. The waitress said that their hamburgers were all hand-made. The restroom was pretty tidy. Parking was adequate. I'd probably return again, just in the interests of variety, and given the very limited dining choices in the Wynne area.

Well, people. Let me tell you a story. My family and I are on our way through Arkansas to Texas. On…read morethe way we wanted to experiment with ChatGPT to give us some good ideas for some amazing Arkansas Cuisine. ChatGPT recommended this place. Let me tell you, when ChatGPT says it can be wrong, it can be very wrong! You pull up to this red shack and notice the sign to tell you "This is the place" is 80% gone with missing lettering. The shack it self looks like it's ac window units are about to shatter and fall out of the window seals. Anyways, so you pull up, open your car doors, and the family is excited for some good ol' fashion family bbq. You walk into the door and... your feet are sticking to the floor. Well okay maybe someone spilled something, then you walk and realize, you were right! Someone did spill something, over the entire floor! Some of the floor is missing sections as well. Also, the atmosphere does not smell like bbq, grilling, frying, or anything else. It smells like urine. No other way to describe it. The ceiling above our head by our round table looked like it wanted to collapse on our heads. The bathroom... the bathroom should tell you all you need to know about this place. I know you're thinking, "why did we stay and order food". Well, we thought maybe, just maybe, it's a diamond in the rough. It's not a diamond, it's just in the rough. We ordered our food, grilled catfish, hush puppies, beef bbq plate, pulled pork sandwich, Tamala's, etc. Let me break these down for you piece by piece. Grilled Catfish - edible, small, expensive, and sad. Hushpuppies - Burnt and about as hard as marbles. Beef bbq plate - beef is decent, props. However, the coleslaw, flavorless, the beans, sad, and the Texas Toast, just toast, oh well. Pulled pork sandwich with Cajun fries - sandwich, absolutely flavorless, Cajun fries, fries with salt and pepper. Tamales - Good, but not worth the price. Presented poorly, and with the atmosphere, scary. Did I mention the food was served one-person at a time? Every single person had time to finish their plate before the next person got their plate. Also, the containers of Tartar sauce and ranch were grimy and spotted with black specks. I tried to squeeze out some ranch, but only a thin white liquid came out. What does this tell you about how this place cleans and stores their condiments? The people are kind, it's not the workers personality. It's the condition of the establishment that do a number on this place. Why do I want to eat food from a place that doesn't take care of itself? Does that mean it doesn't take care of their food? I will not always give places chances, and I don't know if you, reader, will either. However, if you do, do not give this place your chance. This place needs work, and a lot of it. However, ChatGPT did say this was authentic Arkansas cuisine, so maybe that is exactly what we got.

Also the buildings surrounding it are all empty and abandoned. Very sketchy surroundings. The inside is clean and small with very little ambience. It appears most folks come here for carry out. I dined in and for lunch ordered a half pulled pork and half sausage combination platter with a side of potato salad and baked beans. The sausage was sliced and slightly chard on the grill, overall pretty good. The pulled pork was nothing special, nor was their barbecue sauce. The potato salad was overwhelmingly crazy with mustard, and the baked beans, aside from the bits of pork in them, had to be simple, canned beans. Food was served fairly quick. IMO this is definitely not a noteworthy spot for a BBQ foodie.
