a plate of ribs, beans, and salad
Brian S.

Stopped in for some bbq during my travels. Ordered the brisket and ribs... super delicious. The service was excellent and they even brought my food to my table. Great customer service. The whole staff was friendly and professional and very efficient. Inside was nice and clean. Highly recommend

This isn't real BBQ! None of the meats were actual smoky tasting, no smoke ring visible, tasted more like boiled brisket, and old roasted pork. Terrible excuse for barbecue!! Waste of $72. Please do NOT eat here, unless you want bland, dry, tasteless food. We tried 4 different meat items, and none were good, not qualified as "barbecue". If the bbq is good and authentic you don't need 6 different types of bbq sauce. They offer 6 kinds of bbq sauce at each table. I suppose it's to disguise the flavor of the meats. Also, the collard greens had very little seasoning, and the coleslaw wasn't creamy at all. We all agreed it was the WORST BBQ we've ever had. This is the location near Hobby Lobby and David's Burgers.

Special of the day, ribs off the bone

This is a great place to eat BBQ. They do not skimp on portions and their variety in sauces makes the same meal taste with several flavors.

I don't usually eat BBQ but I like WholeHog. The burnt ends are well worth the price. My wife and I go often enough. Try it! You'll like it.

Best bbq out there in Arkansas. If you're close to Memphis, go to central bbq. If not, whole hog is an excellent number 2.

The best barbecue hands-down I've had in Arkansas, and we've had a lot of it! The most hilarious…read morething is, Tim, the owner, specializes in Texas style brisket. Stopped in for lunch the other day and had the macaroni and cheese topped with chopped brisket and asked them to put the sauce on the side because most places just drown their meat in sauce and you can't even taste the beef. There's usually reason they don't want you to taste it. But Tim is VERY talented on that smoker! He was wonderful and honored my request without batting an eye (some chefs get offended). The staff and Tim both chatted with me in between customers and there was a good clip of folks in and out picking up food and raving about it as was I. The sauce is homemade and a family recipe and of course he's serving his grandma's macaroni and cheese, which is different from how I make mine, but it was still really delicious. The best part are the prices - so reasonable I t's not even funny, and I left absolutely stuffed to the brim. Be sure and try their fried pies too, I got a cherry pie to go and it was yummy! I'll drive all the way from Diamondhead on the regular anytime I want brisket because it was just that good. I would've taken photos, but I am held my lunch before I thought to do so. Sounds like a good excuse to go back to Tim's Tavern ;-)

The other BBQ place we went to was out of brisket, so we followed the path to Tim's Tavern BBQ…read more When you drive up it looks like a dive bar with a fabulous covered patio. ***Warning: Results may vary*** There are no accidents. We were meant to experience TT BBQ. Let me just share that this was an experience. We walk in and there are diner style dinner tables with 2 families filling up many spaces, a date night couple and a lone diner. There is a small bar with stools and a special spot for "Mr Murray". (Reminded me of Norm from CHEERS. Mr Murray was not there) I loved that the TV's were off... otherwise I don't think it would have happened the way it did. The server was welcoming and friendly just like a family member you hadn't seen in a while. She answered our questions and was hustling between taking out HOT food to patrons and giving us the scoop on the menu. (Only server there and she kept up with all of us)! We decided on Beef Brisket and Jalapeño Cheese Sausage with 2 sides. Excellent choices, brisket was lean and tender, jalapeño sausage did not disappoint. Bbq sauce was tangy. Our sides were simple and flavorful. We were so hungry, we forgot to take a photo before we dove in. We were talking with the staff and other guests enjoying their meal. One suggested the Banana pudding for dessert and they were correct, it was soooo good. (Later learned it was made by our server, Sarah. Heart Emoji. It felt like grandma's kitchen and the family was gathered and sharing a meal. No strangers. Several take out orders came and went. Tim opened this place 2 years ago to bring good BBQ to the smaller local scene of Benton. (Plus downtown Little Rock is no longer a desirable destination). It may be off the beaten path but so worth the extra couple miles. Had a nostalgic moment when I saw the Horse Ride. OMGoodness so fun, how many times I would beg my daddy to let me ride one of those anytime I saw one. Now I am too big, but loved the memory. There is a great big outdoor patio covered over have where they have live music and events. The look out on over green grass lawn and forest is beautiful. This place is a "Hole in the wall" type but excellent in all areas. Service 5-Stars Food 5-Stars We stayed much longer due to great conversations with the other guests and family feeling. Hopefully you experience the same. Oh, did I tell you we were just visiting? :)
