    Pulled Pork Sandwich!!! It was great, very tasty and not dry.
    John B.

    This place is small, hometown owned and food was fantastic!!! My daughter and husband lives in Redding, I was visiting and had a taste for BBQ on a Sunday. They had never been here so we decided to try it. I got the baby back ribs, they were perfect. Not dry and had great taste. Corn bread was great to, moist, not dry and great tasted. My daughter got the try tip sandwich. At least 1/2 pound of meat, tasty and fresh. My son-in-law got the pulled pork sandwich. Everything was great, tasteful and not dry. I totally recommend this for everyone!!!

    Watch out! Anti mask establishment.

    If you have underlying condition (which I, my husband and one of my kid does), don't go here in times of Covid. My late Dad who should be 91 this April died of Covid complications and one of my sisters is a Covid nurse. If you find this disease funny , God forbid that you'll never catch it. His death is the only reason why we're on the road to California; It's because we're burying my Dad one month later after he died. Food wise, it's good but in our point of view as bbq aficionados who smoke our own Bbq using the Big Green Egg, it lacks smoke. Without the bbq sauce, the meat specifically the brisket would be considered under seasoned. It's a hefty meal and will keep you satiated for several hours. For the food, good bread, bbq sauce that reminds me of the Brown sugar bbq sauce at TJ's (no vinegar and it's on the sweet side) good amount of meat on the sandwich. Check the contents of your order because we had to return for a forgotten item.

    Small Sample Plate. Chopped Beef, sausage, pulled pork, brisket, tri-tip, ribs.

    Oh my word! We tried Arnold's for Father's Day and we're pleasantly surprised! Ordered the small and large plates to try a little of everything. There was not one thing I could complain about. Every bite was filled with smoked goodness. The smoke rings were beautiful and the BBQ beans makes my mouth water just thinking about eating them again. Service was awesome and friendly and super quick. We had ZERO wait on Father's Day. My kiddo even enjoyed without complaint/critique. SO GOOD! And we definitely will be returning regularly

    Serving size is the only thing going for this meal. 5 o'clock on a Friday and already out of burnt ends, a regular item listed in multiple places on the menu. Sounds like should be listed as a special. Settled on the loaded baked potato that came out pretty quickly. However first bite showed why. Food was barely warm, no flavor. The beans where straight out of a can as well as the cheese sauce both cold. Masking the flavor of the meat that was supposed to be up front. Usually try to give a place a second chance but with price and experience will not be back.

    This was our first time here at Arnold's and I must say that they didn't disappoint. It was a busy Sunday night and they were getting low on food. We were bummed because they were out of ribs, but when we told the waitress that our daughter is getting braces the next day and ribs was her choice of dinner...Helen made a miracle happen! Our daughter got her ribs! She is such a kind soul and an impeccable waitress. Oh, side note, the food was delish too! We will be back.
