Decided to try the fried pork egg rolls, one of my go to favorites. Wasn't the experience I expected. The selection appeared rushed, thrown together, and overcooked. Not sure if I will ever order this again. read more

Honestly one of the best salads I've had in a while. The avocado was perfectly ripe and the grilled shrimp was seasoned so well. I wish there had been a bit more of the crunchy toppings but overall I was really happy with it. Super fresh and tasty. read more

Staff is super nice. It's a deli. Forgot the cheese on the cheese sandwich. Zero bbq. Zero beers (the photos clearly show beer) Delta no Q is a better description read more

Was in the mood for some brisket and ribs, saw the online menu photos, and decided to give it a shot. Extremely disappointing when I arrived and saw the new menu which did not have either of these. Ordered the chicken, and it was average at best along with some baked beans with minimal flavor. Barbecue sauce did not seem to be homemade, and lacked any distinguishing features. Staff was friendly and courteous, end it appeared. They were as empathetic to the fact that they did not have what I was in the mood for. read more

Delta Q - Current menu as of 2.21.23. - Barbeque Near Me - Forrest City, Arkansas

Great place for lunch. The Philly cheesesteak is delicious, as well as the bbq egg rolls. We eat here often.

R wanted to find out how good bbq in Arkansas was while we were on our road trip from ATL to Los Angeles about 5 weeks ago. Through Yelp he found Delta Q, which had good reviews. As I drove through small town Forrest City, I already made up my mind that I was going to order a half rack of ribs. We arrived, and it was easy finding a parking space, since the parking lot was bigger than was necessary for Delta Q. We walked into the restaurant, and the smell of smoked meats was so thick in the air that I knew everyone walking out of the restaurant smells like they walked through a meat smoker. The employee working the counter welcomed us and asked if we were there to eat in or take out. After she found out we were going to dine in, the employee told us that we could sit anywhere, so we sat at one of the cushioned booths. This place looks like it's been here for a long minute. The seat cushions are torn up, and the whole place looks like it could use a good cleaning. I felt sorry for our server, because she was handling multiple tables inside the restaurant, the incoming phone calls, take out orders and the drive thru window. Just listening to her communication with the kitchen staff, who I couldn't see, it was no surprise that she had to yell to the kitchen staff just to get their attention to correct orders that they messed up. There's a bar area, but it wasn't being used while we were there. Our server brought us our food served on small square baking trays. My half rack of ribs looked meaty. I also ordered mac and cheese and green beans. R ordered pulled pork, hush puppies and cole slaw. The cole slaw here is more mayo (vs vinegar) based, and tasted good. I didn't try the hush puppies. The mac and cheese were average, and the green beans were salty. Initially, I thought the ribs were very good. They were almost fall-off-the-bone tender and the flavor of the ribs were good as-is, with the right amount of seasoning. I put some of the sweet (as opposed to the vinegary) bbq sauce, and sauce was perfect and helped enhance the flavor of the ribs. Unfortunately, there was just too much fat on the ribs, and, after I ate half the ribs, I had to stop eating them because my stomach was being affected by the fat I had already eaten. Overall, the food was average to good. The service was good, taking into consideration that there was only one employee running the front. The place, though, needs to be cleaned and maintained better. Our shoes were sticking to the floor, our arms were sticking to the table, and the restroom was dirty, and used paper towels were piled high on top of the overflowing trashcan. read more

Driving back to Phoenix Arizona from Nashville Tennessee we found the spot just off the freeway in Forest city. What a perfect location for a real barbecue out of the city experience. Walking in to Delta Q the smell was so good like a fresh campfire wood like smell. We were greeted by a very kind and pleasant lady who sat us down offered us something to drink and explained the menu to us. I had The four meat combo and I have to say it was the best barbecue I have ever had and I have had a lot of BBQ in the Midwest and in the East Coast. The smoked pulled chicken was so good moist with the right amount of smokiness and sauce on it The pulled pork is probably the best pulled pork I have ever had The brisket OMG so moist and tender slid right down your throat The ribs when you don't need to use your hands and the meat just falls off the bone with the fork you know you're getting the best of the best The potato salad was made in-house and the most freshest potato salad ever I hope one day I can just make a trip out here just to eat barbecue it's well worth it to anyone traveling on interstate 40 who wants a really good meal with great friendly service this is definitely the spot read more

Delta Q - The four meat barbecue platter - Barbeque Near Me - Forrest City, Arkansas

Traveling from South Jersey to Dallas. Stopped in this town for the night. Very small town but this place was very good! We had a party 8 and the table was ready and large enough for 10! The Catfish, Ribs, Baked Beans, and Pulled Pork was all very good! The Egg Roll was really good, it's a must get! It isn't a traditional Egg Roll, it's an Egg Roll, Arkansas style. I of course heard of Hush Puppies but never had them, got them today and they were very tasty. Only thing I could say is the Burgers could definitely be bigger. The kids had them finished pretty quickly. Server was friendly and food came out in a timely manner. Not sure I'll ever be in this town again but if I was I'd eat hear again. read more

Local bbq, one location only. The waitress said they smoke their own meats so all is right with the world. The good: Wow, the ribs are good, and they need no sauce. That was RRR's dinner and he actually didn't care for the sauce. 'Too vinegary', but that may just be the local fave. My pulled chicken was moist even without sauce (I'm trying to found Weight Watchers friendly dishes) and my green beans had a wonderful flavor, at least for me. Bacon and garlic, so good (and no, not a great WW choice. Our server, a sweet young lady, did a fine job and got everything right. Her family was in a booth behind us, cutest baby ever! The place was clean and welcoming with multiple TVs and rock music playing. Now the bad: Those awesome green beans? Waaaaay too salty and I like salt. I hope it was just an off night. My salad was what you might expect, small and only iceberg lettuce. Since I asked for no bacon or cheese the only other addition were a few sad tomato pieces, no flavor. And last, even though we didn't want them, there were no pork rinds served or offered as it appears other Yelpers have enjoyed. We didn't ask but perhaps our server decided we wouldn't want them when I said I was trying to stay on my Weight Watchers program. Or maybe they don't offer anymore. So, with those few caveats, we would definitely try this again and I do recommend. read more

Great spot for a quick meal. Myself and companions were on a road trip from California to Alabama. As you are driving through Arkansas we decided to look up a good spot to eat and this place had what we were looking for. Although only their drive-throughs open, they were kind enough to allow us to go inside to place our order since we were in 2 RV's. Needless to say our order was significant on size and they were able to fulfill our request while handing their routine traffic. The food was delicious and the price was reasonable. Thanks again for taking care of hungry travelers on a rainy day. read more

Service was bad, girl didn't know what she was doing food was good, cool place. Ambiance was good

Paid 18.00 for a large sandwich which is 2 of these.. both looked likes this!! guess they decided to make a regular sandwich and stretched the amount meat used.. guess you can say this was the most expensive bread I have ever bought read more

Delta Q - 18.00 for this - Barbeque Near Me - Forrest City, Arkansas

Walked in sat at the bar. The waitress said be right with you so we waited about 5 minutes. She gave us a menu to look at we pondered on it as she asked what we wanted to drink got us a sweet tea as the smoked bologna looked delicious I was going to get a sample platter and bologna sandwich to go. She proceeded to take our order and now tells us they DONT HAVE WINGS, BRISKET OR BOLOGNA. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS PLACE AND YELP IS NOT UPDATED. No liquor any more along with no pork rinds. Good luck everybody! read more

Just passing through on our way back home from Dallas. Looked to Yelp as we always do and found this little place in the Arkansas Delta. We stayed simple with a bbq pulled pork plate w/ fries, potato salad, and baked beans. All was great! Pleasantly surprised with this find on our way through. read more

Arkansas knows BBQ and these hogs did not disappoint! We were bummed they were out of ribs when we got there but the brisket and pulled pork (and beans, green beans, and potatoes) took our minds off of that real quick. Not spic and span but don't let that be a deterrent to grabbing some of the best food around. Dark horse: fried pickles. They NAILED them. read more

Delta Q was bookmarked on Yelp for our trip to San Antonio because of the good reviews on Yelp. It fit our schedule on the way back. It is located about a mile off the freeway but it was easy to find and we were hungry. When we arrived, it was busy but not crowded and we were greeted and seated immediately by our server, Falon, who started us off with a bucket of Crispy Pork Rinds before taking our drink order. Then, after looking over the menu for a few minutes, we were ready to place our order. We decided to split a Fried Pickles appetizer and my wife ordered the Pulled Chicken Salad while I decided to try the Three Meat Sampler with Brisket, a Three-Bone Pork Rib, and Pulled Pork. Mine came with a choice of two sides and a roll. I chose Potato Salad and Hush Puppies. Everything was delicious and my wife particularly liked the Pulled Chicken Salad. I enjoyed my meal and I give special mention for the Hush Puppies. These were not dense and over cooked like so many are. The outside was crisp but the inside was soft like cake. This was definitely well worth the stop. Falon kept our drinks full and checked on us just the right amount and made us feel welcome. She even offered to give us our drinks to go. You should definitely check it out! read more

Friendly service! Called in order and picked up through drive through window which was handy during these Crazy COVID times. Back to hotel for some great fall off the bone ribs; dry version piping hot. Also had side salad that was loaded with cheese bacon bits and tomatoes; then a side of green beans. So here is what I love about traveling and trying different places; the green beans were not what I was a custom to; yet they were very tasty The first bite of the green beans was... ok this is different. I didn't know at first then the flavors all flourished and I thought it was very good. The beans were a larger more mature pod type green bean and they come prepared in a slight gravy and seasoned very well. Possibly an onion bacon type gravy. I would have them again. Definitely could have done with half rack very filling. read more

Worst bbq ever. Chicken strips weren't even strips it was unseasoned chicken breast pretty much with batter that was falling off just nasty

If there's a long line for this place, don't be surprised. That's just the "Delta Queue." In fact it was pretty quiet when I came here, which is a crime, because the food is so... damn... good. What to get: Pulled Pork and Pork Cracklings What else: Don't ask for Rice Krispies, because here, they go Snap, Crackling and Pop. If it gets really hot in here, they change their name to Swelter Q. This is a really out-of-the-way BBQ spot a little ways off the interstate in Arkansas, a few miles west of Memphis city limits. It is not a place that is on most people's radar, and that's a shame, because it should be. Some of the best pulled pork you'll find anywhere. Juicy and tasty and delicious. If the Beatles eat here, it becomes Helter Skelter Q. The cracklings are probably the best I've ever had. They are only sold in huge bags, and I had no intention of buying any, but the extremely friendly cashier talked me into it, and she was absolutely right. They may give you a heart attack, but they will be worth it. If it gets so hot that the pulled pork starts turning to liquid, it becomes Melta Q. You must stop at Delta when you're heading into, or out of, Memphis. Also check out One And Only BBQ and Tops BBQ in the city. And since it isn't as well known as the Heavyweights and Medium Weights, that's probably why it's sometimes known as Welter Q. read more

Food was decent. Pork and chicken are the only thing available on the menu. No ribs or brisket. The plus to all of it is you BYOB.

What a fun place. Had to detour off I40 because of truck accident. Figured early dinner a great way to spend some time. Limited menu but great smoked pork and chicken! Really good sauce-just enough bite to get your attention. And typically excellent bbq sides-baked beans, slaw and fries! Nothing left on our plates. Our waitress exuded southern hospitality and gave us a different route around the mess as well as to go cups for our drinks. Make the effort or enjoy the detour! Either way you will have a good meal with the southern mama you always wanted!! read more

Not bad, but my hickory-smoked chicken left no trace of hickory smoke on the palate, and was a little dry and under-salted. Beans were tasty, but the fresh-baked dinner roll was on the oily side. Friendly place, though. I would stop here again, but would likely try something different. read more

Delta Q - Half chicken platter ($10) - Barbeque Near Me - Forrest City, Arkansas

Small hometown BBQ joint with friendly staff. The larger platter included chicken, pork, ribs & brisket plus the choice of 2 sides. You have the option to order the meat wet or dry, we opted for wet. The chicken was dry with hints of smoke, the pork was much better and had great flavor, the brisket was tender but very dry & favored a roast beef style & finally the ribs were the best of the platter if you prefer ribs served "fall of the bone" & they had great smoked flavor & were not dry. The coleslaw was very good and the fried pickles were really good as well! I would give this place another look when traveling through the area. It's only 5 minutes off the interstate! read more

2-OUT SINGLE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE EIGHTH! Great food and downhome service. I grabbed lunch here with a colleague this week and it was outstanding. We were headed from Memphis to Little Rock and wanted to put some distance between us and Memphis before we stopped for lunch. It was my first time, but he had been here several times previously. I had the pork plate with a side of slaw and green beans. The barbecue was good and the sauce was as well. The slaw had a very nice kick to it. However, the piece that stole the show was the green beans. Wow they were good. They were cooked with bacon and minced garlic that made them out of this world good. The atmosphere was nice, the service was fast and friendly. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. Every single table complained about their food. Brisket plate was the absolute worst brisket I've ever had in my life. Dry and shredded?? Not sliced? Looked like pot roast and was tough and chewy. They were out of french fries so they gave me sweet potato fries instead. They were flavorless and undercooked even though I asked for them crispy. Mac n cheese was runny. Green beans were salty and obviously from a can. They were out of fried okra too. BBQ sauce was tasteless and watered down. NOTHING was good. Even my daughter's chicken tenders were gross. How do you screw up a frozen chicken tender? Waitress apologized but no manager was in. Also, profile shows beer and wine available but we were told they can no longer serve it? Take it off menu and Yelp then! read more

It was some of the best smoked beef brisket we've ever eaten. So tender you could cut it with a fork. Service was great.

I randomly chose to eat here and was more than satisfied. I ordered a pulled pork sandwich, coleslaw, and baked beans. The coleslaw and baked beans were very good. The pulled pork may have been the best pulled pork I've ever put in my mouth. Tender, tasty, with bits of crispness, and excellent barbecue sauce. I travel the US for my job and eat a lot of barbecue, with pulled pork being one of my favorite foods. So, when I say this may be the best I've had in my 62 years of life, it's really saying something. The restaurant staff was very friendly and provided excellent customer service too. I plan to go back before I leave Forrest City tomorrow afternoon. read more

Thanks fellow Yelpers - Delta Q is a great place to enjoy delicious food. Our BBQ plates were fixed just the way BBQ should be. You know its a good place to eat when the local police are enjoying their meals there and many of the employees and customers know each other. A bonus for me - Delta Q has Coke Zero (in cans)! If you like BBQ, take a short detour from I-40 and stop a Delta Q. read more

We ate here a few times for lunch while in town for business throughout the week. Service was great, super fast, food came out fast which made for quick lunches when needed. We tried the pulled pork, brisket and chicken. All of which were fantastic with plenty of flavor and the meat was super juicy. A coworker got the bbq salad with chicken and it was huge! He said that it was really good. Another coworker got the bbq nachos which were terrific. They make fresh brewed tea and sweet tea along with a lot of dessert options. Apparently a family recipe for bread pudding that I never got a chance to try thanks to always being so full. read more

First of all, they bring pork rinds to your table right off. These are amazing and I loved them so much, I got a bag to go. I had the barbecue chicken tacos - so good - and my husband.had the smoked bologna sandwich, equally as good. Our kids ate all their kids meals and my son gobbled up a good portion of the pork rinds. The only negative had nothing to do with the restaurant, but a large party eating. They were unhappy with their service and caused quite a scene, making us all feel a little uncomfortable. They were quite ugly to their waitress. In fact, as she was cleaning up after them, she was visibly upset. Be nice to your waitress, people. It's not an easy job. read more

Delta Q - Smoked bologna sandwich! - Barbeque Near Me - Forrest City, Arkansas

The only problem is a lot of the stuff on the menu posted on yelp is not available. They no longer seem to serve beef brisket and when I was there didn't even have pulled barbecue chicken. Ended up getting a salad with chicken tenders which was good and large for a very reasonable price. Guy serving was super friendly as well - just wish they had more business so they could actually support a full menu. Kind of strange since there are a ton of fast food restaurants in this town that I wouldn't think would be as good quality or even much better price. read more

Food was pretty good. The potato salad was much better than most bbq spots. Had the dry rub ribs and they were also good.

Oh. Yes. This food was so delicious and the atmosphere was great! We were traveling home to Tennessee and this place was the perfect spot to stop and fuel up on ridiculously good BBQ. Clean restaurant and clean bathrooms (yay!) Cons: The server was a little... tired? grouchy? It was the end of the night. I get it, but yeah. Heads up, the garlic green beans were aptly named and are pretty salty. Overall: I wish this place was in Tennessee because I would be eating there every week. read more

Nice place of medium size with a friendly staff. Free pork rinds while waiting for your meal. Beer prices cheep...3.50 fo Newcastle or Blue moon. Not much shade for parking but they are small, well-behaved dog friendly! The food is very good and the sauce was perfectly blended. I had the smaller sample platter with pulled pork, chicken and brisket. All three meats were great. My husband jumbo pulled pork sandwich and commented that the regular may well have been plenty. In conclusion, I would say that Delt Q is well worth the short detour off of 40 if you want a great meal. read more
