    the front of a restaurant
    Cole C.

    Good lunch stop between Little Rock and Memphis if you're looking for something beyond chains and gas stations. Good portions and GREAT prices. A sausage sandwich is only $3.50! The rib tips combo is under $10 and is a lot of food. We ordered six items for around $35. Our favorites were the chicken strips, sausage sandwich, and rib tips. The masks signs on the door talk a big game but thankfully it's not enforced. I haven't worn a mask in so long I completely forgot to bring one on our trip! The service is friendly and the food is good. Not knock-your-socks off good, but good, and a whole lot better than that Subway in the Loves you almost ate at.

    When we passed this on a road trip we were really hoping it would be a hole in the wall - SCORE! Our food was excellent, it came out right away. The portions were huge and we were definitely satisfied. I'd really liked to have seen it cleaned up, especially the bathroom (it made me cringe a little.)

    1/2 rack of moist, fall of the bone pork ribs. The Cole saw was super good.

    Friendly environment, the gal taking our order was a kick. The rib plate and pulled pork plate were out standing. I would definitely go there again and again

    Delicious food. We came in about 40 minutes before closing and we're welcomed by a friendly face. My husband had the rib dinner with coleslaw and fries and sucked it down. Spare ribs not baby back but he said they were very good. I had the rib tip dinner with potato salad and baked beans and it was tender and delicious. Of course had to have a piece of sweet potato pie! Yummmm Don't skip this spot.

    This place rocks- apparently we aren't the only ones who Think so!

    Skip the chains and dive into real home style west Memphis BBQ! This place is the real deal! And a good deal: great value for the money- portions were excellent. We stopped for lunch and ended up buying dinner as well to take along in our camper van. Everything from bbq chicken to catfish was top notched, tasking like home cooking and sooo satisfying. Warm hospitality and tasty food- Oh ! Get the fried bologna sandwich, burnt, with slaw- you won't be sorry- Gravel lot, room for cars and RVs - easy on and off I-40.

    Central BBQ - BBQ pork sandwich with slaw

This location is a large building with lots of seating options. I had to try Central as it keeps winning awards and is consistently mentioned as the top BBQ place in the Memphis area. Some of their awards were displayed at the entrance and on the walls. Lots of history. My wife ordered the Pulled Pork Sandwich and had the slaw on the side so I could have it (she's not a slaw fan). I had the small order of ribs with 1/2 dry and 1/2 wet with sides of BBQ Beans and Mac n Cheese. I tried the pulled pork and it was tender and delicious. My ribs were pretty good with my favorite part being the wet ribs. The dry part was overcooked and really dry and chewy. This was a bit of a disappointment. The BBQ beans were flavorful but a bit mushy. The Mac n cheese also mushy a bit but tasted better than it looked. I love great BBQ so I like Central BBQ but may have caught them on a bad day. Oh, they were out of a lot of T Shirt options/size I wanted too. Darn. I wanted to buy one. I would return and try the brisket, pulled pork or poultry items next time.

    First timers here and the service was friendly and attentive. The area was quiet enough that we…read morecould hold a conversation with lots of seating. A nice layout for sure. We had the ribs and pulled pork. The ribs were good and tender and the pulled pork was good but a bit on the dry side. I just used more bbq sauce. All in all it was a very nice place for lunch after visiting the National Civil Rights Museum just across the way.

This is yet another DDD restaurant, but I didn't watch this particular episode and the menu did not give any indication on what Guy ordered during his visit. They serve pork rinds as a free app....which you can dip in their 2 sauces on the table, a sweet one and a bold one that's not that spicy. I ordered the half rack ribs, muddy, with turnip greens and red beans and rice with the latter recommended by our server. Ribs - pretty good sauce, tender, fall off the bone, some pieces were a tad dry, but this can be common with ribs, especially the smaller ends. Turnip greens - pretty standard Red beans and rice - pretty dang good for being in Mississippi. Ask for the hot sauce. Both my client and I really like this. Overall, this was a satisfying meal that we all enjoyed. It was nice seeing the articles and trophies the owner has accumulated over the years to make her the "most decorated female pitmaster in the US".

They sell fishing tackle, and act as a convenience store and grill for the nearby Jenette, Arkansas community. As a common consequence for the convenience of the existence of rural stores, the prices for their merchandise are rather high. I do like supporting independent retailers, so I try to purchase things from small businesses that I might ordinarily buy from my normal grocery store. I once had them cook-up a cheeseburger for me, but was woefully disappointed that the chef was actively smoking a cigarette while making my food!* This was way too "old school" for me, and made for the disgusting ambiance of polluted indoor air. (* If you dislike cigarette smoking, I would instead recommend going elsewhere: Just over five miles west, on U.S. Highway 70 in Shell Lake, is Lakeside Grocery / Citgo gas station (I-40 Exit 260). There they make pizzas and sandwiches to order, carry liquor, are open later in the evening, sell gasoline/diesel fuel, and don't smoke tobacco inside of their building.)
