    Chopped beef sandwich, potatp salad, and chips
    John K E.

    Three Sams was my tenth 'cue stop in Arkansas. It is located about a mile south of I-30, in a small town a bit southwest of Little Rock. The ambiance calls to mind the small town diners of my youth, and the hours of operation (10:30-2 MO-FRI) also hint at the degree to which the restaurant serves the local community. The menu encompasses burgers and other non-BBQ staples, but there are several BBQ dishes to choose among. I ordered a regular beef sandwich with skin-on potato salad. I wanted onion rings, but alas they had no batter with which to make them. I also wanted to try the blackberry cobbler, but they were sold out; one of the waitresses did promise to set aside the last serving of peach cobbler, which she had baked earlier in the day! The beef is chopped, and came heavily sauced, so there was no noticeable smoke. Next time, I would ask for sauce on the side. The potato salad was tasty, but store bought; the peach cobbler needed more fruit to balance the light and airy cake, but it was homemade. And all of this came to $13.32, plus tip. So, is this great BBQ? No, the food was about average. But I'm really glad that I stopped by, and I would happily come again because BBQ's roots lie in the small towns, and I very much want this tradition to remain a vital and vibrant part of the American landscape.

    This was an amazing BBQ experience. I ordered the pig plate. The name describes the meat as well as the animal required to eat it all. It was massive. As I was making my way through it I heard all these people phoning the store to order Thanksgiving pies. I thought, this is odd, people buying pie from a BBQ place. The waitress told me the lady making pies is famous for her pies and they're delicious. So I ordered an immediate halt to meat consumption and switched to coconut pie mode. Righteous choice by me. Everything was wonderful. Not enough Yelp reviews for this place. It's nowhere near downtown so visitors wouldn't just wander in. A coworker from Little Rock steered me here. For that, I will be forever indebted. Best BBQ I ever had, hard to say, but can't think of better either. Yep. It's that good

    So amazing! The prices and taste. It was busy and the man at the register was still nice. This is the loaded potato

    Small place but amazing food! The customers always look at me funny cause I'm black! But that doesn't bother me because my food comes out great every time I go and try something!

    Regular pork sandwich

    A hidden gem!!! This place is only open for lunch on weekdays but you need to try it! You go in and seat yourself and the service is very fast- the food is even better!!! Highly recommend the peanut butter pie - tastes like it was made with every ounce of love they have. I had the regular pork sandwich and it was cheap but a TON of food! Didn't get to try the onion rings but they looked delicious so I will be back to try them!

    Funky little shack...went around back and there was a dog guarding the smoker room door...blue collar crowd mainly with some business folks sprinkled in; great smoky flavor to the meats which you can only get from a well seasoned pit...thought the ribs were overdone - not burned but falling apart - but on the other hand one of the best bbq pork sandwiches I've ever had. Beans and slaw were amazing with unique, unanticipated flavors. Strawberry ice box pie the perfect finishing touch. We live 4 hours away and it was well worth the drive.

    Hot cheeseburger and a mountain of fries!

    See all
