Barb's Bar-B-Q

A true drive-in! My wife, who is a Searcy native says that there has been a drive-in restaurant at this location since some time in the 50’s. She remembers dining here in the 60’s with her family as well as having lunch here when she was in high school in the early 70’s. At that time the establishment was under different ownership. She tells me that Barb has owned the restaurant for many years and the food always is good. I can attest to that! Drive up and eat in your car or make yourself home at one of the picnic tables in nice weather.

Cash only. There was a sign stating no debit or credit cards on 10/17/2025, bring cash.

Of course, things became very animated at this point. Barbara comes to the window offering to recook my burger. Ha! Then offers to give my money back. I told her to keep it. As we were backing out of her parking lot, she threw a twenty dollar bill through the open window. She should have paid me 20 more for all the drama she caused. The food looks like they are buying their supplies at the Cash Saver. Oh, we

I've been eating Barb's BBQ my entire life. It's the most consistent food, never altered and never changes. I eat it most days for lunch. You cannot beat their slaw if you like a mustard style slaw. Nothing fancy but I have never had one complaint.
