“ This food was gas! I know bbq and this is some the tastiest I've had. The service matched! They were close to closing but they did not rush me nor did the food quality fall off. I had a brisket burger with smoked and other burger normal toppings. I also had the salsa and chips. I really didn't care for the salsa, but the chips were really good and seasoned. Also the fries were seasoned differently and were ”

“ Updat 2025. It's still my favorite place to eat. Great ribs, hamburgers, fties, onion rings,and chicken. Great ribs, and today was 1/3 rack day with one side. Wow, the Ribs were very tender and seasoned just right, but the fries, large portion of right out of the grease hand cut fries, and were fantastic. I'd come here just for the fries. My husband got the 1/2 smoked chicken, large serving with 2 sides, an d he also got a larger portion than I did. He said it's the best chicken he's ever had and amazing fries worth coming back for. A winner in our book and a repeatable restaurant for us. Great job. 2024, New Years Eve, and as usual, it doesn't disappoint. Best BBQ around. ”
“ You know it's a good place when you walk in and nearly every table is occupied. Despite the huge amount of customers, we still received great service. I loved the down-home atmosphere. The food was excellent. Big portions with reasonable prices. I ordered a Hog's Breath, which is a pork and coleslaw sandwich, and fries. Great place! ”
“ To start off, this was my first time trying them out. Couldn't say anything about the atmosphere since I went through the drive thru. But it looked like a cool place to go and hang out. The food was great, and was sized decent for the price point. I would suggest making the sides a little bigger with the sandwich meals or adding another side if keeping the same sizes. The brisket melt that i had was delicious and flavored very well, and not overpowering that just melted in your mouth. I also had some of the best fried pickles I haven't had in a long time. They were nicely seasoned and crisp from not being overdone. I would definitely go back and highly recommend it to others. The employees seemed super friendly and polite. ”
“ My wife and I went here on a lunch date and to start we got the fried pickles with homemade ranch yum!! We got to burnt ends the brisket and rib plate and my wife got a burger. Everything was amazing! I've been looking for a good barbecue restaurant in fort Smith and I think I found one ribs were great barbecue sauce is good. The fried pie was super yummy. The burger and all the meat piled on top of it was great as well!! We absolutely never seen a half empty glass not kidding . Absolutely amazing service. I have no idea how I have never been here! ”
