Great BBQ. Tender ribs and brisket. Sauce had excellent hot flavor. Could be the best sauce in the state west of West Memphis. Welcoming service. Even serves free pinto beans!

This was good food. Young mam was eating and off and was eating and ask how the food was he had a tattoo on hand of Ying and Yang and talk to us and ask how the food.

Stopped at the place advertised on the 2nd billboard I saw. That’s just me , and I’m happy about it. Got both the pulled pork sandwich and ribs, with potato salad and the complimentary Pinto Beans. Choice of 4 sauces and a little dress up bar with Jalapeños, onions and cucumbers. I chose the tangy sauce over the regular. The regular reminded me of a flavor from Memphis and the tangy was unique. And it sticks with you a bit. Enjoy.
