Me and some family came here to try their spicy food challenge and it is for sure EXTREMELY spicy. The staff were great and very friendly and they also have very clean restrooms. Would definitely come again to try some other items on the menu.

I am from Stillwater, Oklahoma and was working in Little Rock this week and had to come try this place. Glad I did! Everything about this place was excellent! Great service, nice atmosphere and top notch food! I got the Super pork sandwich with slaw and the hot BBQ sauce on it. Meat and sauce were spot on! For side I got the tasty smoked beans and turnip greens. Loved it all! Keep up the good work! My ONLY complaint...I really wanted to buy a bottle of the Shut up sauce to take home with me but it was out... that's just my luck I guess lol. Do you guys ship? Thanks for the great lunch!

If you’re looking for true hometown flavor, this BBQ spot is it! The smoky aroma hits you before you even walk in the door, and every bite is tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The staff treats you like family, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the owners are some of the best people in the world. Hands down the best BBQ in town—you’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit! LOVE this place

We had lunch there the other day. My mom said her small pork sandwich was really good. I had the 2-meat plate with pulled pork, brisket, slaw, and potato salad. There was a lot of meat. I think the potato salad and beans were a 2 ounce size. Would be good if they could go a little larger on those sides- even 3 oz would be an improvement. Brisket was very tender. Great food!

Great bbq place. They just started serving sliced brisket a few months ago. It's hard to find good brisket in AR, but this fits the bill. They've been doing some good pulled pork for 10+ years.

The atmosphere and decor were really cute and the service was great! But the food was just ok. Nothing to rave about. My husband has smoked brisket, pork and ribs. It's supposed to be juicy and full or smokey flavor. When cooked right, the meat does not need sauce to taste good. The pork here didn't have a ton of flavor. Again, the employees were so sweet. Just wish the food was a little better.

First time eating here and I was happy with the clean restaurant and friendly service.. but the food missed the mark..just didn't have the full smoky mouth watering flavors you expect from a barbecue joint.
