Lunch at Que49 Smokehouse…read more My wife and I had lunch at Que49 Smokehouse in Jonesboro. It is the kind of place that instantly jumps into your "must-visit" list if you love real BBQ. All of their sauces are great - Original, Hot Willie's, Vinegar Sauce, and Cranberry Cayenne. I started with the "Ultimate Reuben" and it absolutely lives up to its name! Rich, smoky beef and pork belly pastrami piled high with tangy sauerkraut, melty Swiss, and Russian dressing on perfectly toasted marbled rye. It's the kind of sandwich you plan future visits around! The Burnt Ends were textbook - tender, caramelized, and deeply smoky without being overly sweet. The Tri-Tip Sirloin was equally impressive - juicy, sliced just right, and seasoned to let the beef shine instead of hiding it under sauce. (It was a bit too chewy for my wife but I thought it was perfect!) My wife loved the Que Fries with pulled pork. Crinkle cut fries smothered in house-made cheese sauce, baked beans, green onions, and jalapeños, then topped with that beautifully smoked pork. It's over-the-top in the best possible way, like BBQ nachos leveled up. A big part of what makes Que49 special is the pedigree behind it. Owner Skip Steele is true BBQ royalty! He's the former pitmaster and patriarch of Pappy's Smokehouse, Bogart's Smokehouse, and Dalie's Smokehouse in St. Louis, all consistently ranked among the very best BBQ spots in America. You can taste that experience and attention to detail in every bite here. Jonesboro is incredibly lucky to have Que49 Smokehouse. If you're anywhere nearby and you care about great barbecue, this place is absolutely worth the trip.

Pros: -The inside and exterior are both very well…read moremaintained, clean, and modern. It looks and feels newly built. The location is convenient with free parking on site. -Ordering is similar to subway. You place your meat order at the beginning of the counter, and along the counter are sides ranging from corn, macaroni, green beans, and other classics vegetables. The menu had a lot of variety. They pulled the meats off the bone right in front of you! -The food was amazing. The barbecue had a great smokehouse taste and great flavor cooked onto the outside. The macaroni was warm, gooey, and delicious. The corn had a nice buttery taste! -If you get a fountain drink, it comes with a souvenir reusable cup you can take home! -We came after the lunch rush and there was no wait for food. Service was fast and delicious. Cons: -Since it was our first time, we had to look at the menu. While we were clearly looking the worker asked to take our order. We asked for just a minute and she huffed loudly and walked away. A different server helped explain how to order and pulled our meats instead. -It is a little pricey for a fast-food style down restaurant; however, the amount of meat and sides given makes it worth it. The quality of food is very good, too! -When we sat to eat, nobody was around us at all. Once our food came, the manager came out to conduct an interview and they sat right in front of us. It didn't seem to be going well for the prospective candidate, so it felt a little awkward since there was nobody else in the dining area. There was a whole other room/side to the dining room away from their only two customers... -The meat was a little cold. The sides were warm, but the meat was not extremely warm.

Looking for a BBQ experience for lunch. It was Memorial Day and several locations were closed, so…read morewe settled on Demo's. We enjoyed the visit. It looks and feels like a BBQ restaurant. I ordered a two meat plate with ribs and pork. The star was definitely the ribs. Moist, tender, and lots of flavor while not soaked in sauce, The menu had three bones but I was left wanting more because they weee so good. The pork was good, maybe a tad dry, but not enough to cause me to rate it bad. It also wasn't heavily sauced so the flavor of the pork shines thru. The sides of beans and potato salad were ok, not my favorite, but these are more personal preferences, someone else might say that they were outstanding. The persons working were nice, especially working on a holiday. If back in the area I am going back.

When my food arrived I could immediately tell it had been reheated in the microwave. Even with that the ribs were tender and tasted pretty good. The Bad- the brisket was dry and because it was reheated in the microwave it was way overcooked. Dark dark gray color with no juice in it what so ever. It was flavorless and very underwhelming. Beans were just beans. Be better if they were seasoned and put on smoker to get the flavor. Potato salad was good. Liked their hot bbq sauce.

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.
