Reid's Hometown Barbecue

Super friendly and helpful making tough food decisions....huge selection. The restaurant was very clean organized. The food was great. The portions were big. Their sauce was awesome!

One of the very best barbecue restaurants in the entire state, and I say that as a person who has visited more than four hundred Arkansas barbecue restaurants. The brisket is excellent and the burnt ends even better, but they're only offered on Saturday. I usually go for fried pies, but on my last visit had the cheesecake and boy. I am glad I did because there is a local woman who offers different flavors each day and it is worth trying count to what she comes out with. The Reid family are so nice.

After reading reviews drove out from Fort Smith to try them. Tried the sampler plate. The smoked turkey was very good and moist. Ribs were dry and not much on them. Home made cole slaw was very good. Overall decent, but I wouldn't drive that far to go back. Also it's sort of expensive. It was $70 for the two of us.

Beautiful drive to Booneville to Reid’s and well worth it! I had never been and wasn’t sure what to try. The hostess was really helpful in asking me questions and providing suggestions. I opted for a sampler and their brisket and ribs were top notch! The best bbq I’ve had that I can recall in recent years. Their sides were just as good. I tried the warm potato salad, baked beans, green beans, salad, and mac and cheese, and I would buy all again, but was especially partial to that warm potato salad and Mac!! Don’t even think about leaving without trying their desserts. The cheesecakes look amazing but I opted for coconut fried pie and peaches and cream fried pie and was not disappointed! I would go back just for their desserts alone! My family will definitely return!

Went here on a whim as we were staying in Mount Magazine State Park and had read that Reid’s was THE PLACE to get bbq in Arkansas. I’ve had Wrights, so I figured I would torture my wife and 2 year old and make the 52 min trek to Reid’s. Further to my credit… I have had the pleasure of eating some of the best bbq in the world: Franklins bbq, interstellar BBQ, Goldie’s BBQ, Kruez market, Terry black, Leroy and Lewis (when they were in the truck) to name a few. I’ve had the best of the best (self proclaimed by Texas of course). No line when we arrived (it was cold) and they have plenty of space to sit (which likely cuts down on the line this place would produce). Decided to order to go as my kid woke up with a terrible case of the shits and I didn’t want to subject anyone to that kind of mi
