Now for the downside, I had ribs and smoked sausage with potato salad and coleslaw. The menu states they are both homemade. It's a mustard potato salad and I am pretty sure I have had both from Sam's wholesale. Both were plain and lacked seasoning. The ribs appeared to be a couple of weeks old and reheated in the microwave. The onion rings that my wife had were huge and crunchy but had no flavor in the batter or salt added after frying. The smoked sausage looked like what I cooked for the 4th. Not smoked just heated and sliced. If not for the cheese dip this would have been a one. Oh staff provided super service no issues there. They cannot control the quality of the food. The table we were sitting at looked homemade and there were some crevices around some knot holes that were full of crumbs! Pretty nasty. I will go back for some cheese dip......to go!!

Got the baked beans as a side. They had a little bite to them. We got corn fritters and they come with dipping honey. My friend got the small catfish meal. Like I said... it's not small. Onion rings, hush puppies, catfish and fried okra. If you eat normal amounts of food you won't be able to finish this. This is really some of the best catfish.

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 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.

I have to say I miss the old frozen delight that was the original restaurant In this location.... But to my delight this place is serving some serious flavors. Fries cooked perfectly, just the right crispiness. I ordered the Smoke Stack which included 1/2 lb angus burger (slightly over cooker), pulled pork, and smoked sausage. Pulled pork had great smoke flavor and paired well with the Carolina sauce. The smoked sausage was good and paired well with the house original bbq sauce. They also had an assortment of mayo and burger sauce that went well with the burger and fries. Look forward to going back. I know my son was upset when he found out I went there without him.

The breaded, fried okra was fresh and tasty. There were many flies in the dining area. They ought to build a vestibule onto the front entrance to combat that. I decided to take home a fried pie. The worker at the register said that she would have the cook "warm it up" for me. I declined, since it was going to be a two hour drive to get home. When I arrived home, my wife discovered that I had been sold a raw pie! Note to restaurant: warming something up isn't the same as fully cooking it! My wife ended up baking the pie in our oven, but it just wasn't the same. I was advised by restaurant staff that if I wanted beef brisket, for me to call them a few days ahead of my arrival so they could prepare it. They only make it upon request. I'll probably return if I'm in the area again.

It took close to an hour to get food. We waited. Weren't even mad about it. At a point you just decide to wait it out once you're vested. Ya know, You just become ok. The sweet lady at the DT window takes one order at a time, rotates and yells it at the kitchen, takes your money, then waits until your food is ready and gives it to you. Then she waits on the next inside person inside repeating the same process. Back and forth from the counter to the DT. Pretty inefficient method that explains the long wait. There can't be much more economical than this. A half rack of ribs and two sides for $14. What the actual fuck? That is insane for March of 2024! A sandwich, side, and a drink for $7?!?!? Anyway. The bbq "meat" itself was pretty good. I had higher hopes for some good all around BBQ but the sauce just glopped it all up man. I didn't like it all and neither did the bride. Ribs were well cooked. Like I said the sauce was bad, and they were covered in it. It has gel like thing about it. It's sweet and like jelly.... Hard to explain. Beans were fair. White bread. Sandwich was impossible to eat as a sandwich. It just mushed under the weight of the copious amounts of jelly sauce and slaw. She just kind of got it in there with the foil it was in If I came back I would ask for no sauce or at least get it on the side. '24 - 25/100

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.
