We had a great time with a group of 7. Accommodated us well and were attentive. Brought things before I even had a chance to ask. read more

Fox Creek BBQ - Pork ends, sweet potato fries, okra - Barbeque Near Me - Batesville, Arkansas

The food was good, but my chicken was partially pink. The service was good according to the people delivering my meal. It had the most welcome southern ambiance to the place. Will reccomend. read more

Good food from great people. Go support this guy who has done nothing but support his community his entire life and now he does the same through his food! Live music on the weekends and life lessons taught all week long if you listen. Got the brisket and pork plate with the beans and it filled me up, so good and big portions. read more

Service is...SLOW...we joked about having a pizza or Door Dash delivery (would have been quicker). Music was good. But the last few times the service was super slow and the order wasn't quite right. read more

There brisket at lunch was awesome Came back for dinner waited 30 min for drink order to be taken and there philly brisket sandwich was terrible they killed the meat over cooked where it was crispy. Ill stick to lunch if i ever go back. Sorry for the neg post but that was my experience. read more

Fantastic as always. Pulled pork, baked beans, brisket , Texas toast and sweet tea. Can't get any better than that. My wife got the loaded baked potato. Massive. She bought half of it home. All this and less than $28. Not including tip. read more

Oh my lord, down home BBQ as good as it gets! Do not pass go, go to Fox Creek and get yourself an extra large bib. Pro Tip... the Piggie Pie is big enough for two! Wish I could've stayed until the band showed up. read more

Fox Creek BBQ - people sitting at tables in a restaurant - Barbeque Near Me - Batesville, Arkansas

Had takeout from here today. The pulled pork was great and the peppered brisket was one of the best briskets I've ever had. Look forward to eating here again soon. read more

Oh my gosh!!!! What can you say about this place? Well to start GREAT BBQ. The food was delicious with good flavor and the staff was very friendly. The waitress even saw I was walking around the building because it used to b3 an old train station and she would point things out to me. So if you're in town visiting go check this place out. And you can't beat the price. read more

Amazing, random yelp find for a few friends who aren't familiar with Batesville. We questioned the location on the way there a few times but as soon as we pulled in we knew it was going to be good! Very cool old train station. I had the smoked, naked chicken wings. The owner was extremely friendly & had our food out really fast! We would definitely eat here again. read more

Painfully slow!!! 14 minutes from entry until someone waited on me!!! Another 31 minutes before my incorrectly prepared food arrived!!! They fixed the order quickly, and the food was mediocre. Can't recommend the place at all. read more

Great food and fantastic service! The ambiance was very welcoming and full of southern charm. Me and my husband stumbled across this gem and we were not disappointed! The location is also historic. read more

Dont be fooled by 4 *s, dont go here. The best thing we had was the fried pickles. The salad was wilty, the pulled pork was tough & stringy. My husband's meal wasn't better. Everything was blackened like from an uncleaned flat top. read more

Fox Creek BBQ - Blackened squishy veggies - Barbeque Near Me - Batesville, Arkansas

Great food and service. Will be going back at the next opportunity. I had the BLT and my friend had a burger. The BBQis delicious also.

Nothing Compares to it. Best BBQ I've had in Arkansas! Recommend the brisket lol ribs phenomenal just go man just go!!!

Not many places in town u can duck off with the family and have some live music in a peaceful setting. I'n the old part of town gives a old timer feel and smell and taste of a good bbq always a plus . Glad to see a place open up that the whole family can enjoy read more

Ordered 2 Family packs of rib dinners to go, price with tax and $8 tip was $80. Got home and the ribs were bone dry, practically like jerky, with hardly any flavor, not even smoky. Thank god they included extra BBQ sauce because that was the only thing that made the ribs edible, as dry as they were. The cole slaw and baked beans were outstanding and the staff were friendly which was noteworthy so they get 2 stars for that instead of 1. Very disappointing experience. Surprised to admit that even cowboys BBQ would've been a better choice than fox river even though they don't allow you to dine in. Don't waste your $$$, go to cowboys or better yet smoke your own ribs and save $60 and know what you're getting. What a disappointing let down for a serious BBQ fan. You're a disgrace and blasphemer to the BBQ world. Not going back. read more

Ordered for carry out 2 meat combo plate with slaw. Brisket and sausage. Brisket almost dry, sliced too thin, char not much flavor. Sausage only okay, flavor not smoky but maybe garlic seasoned? No sauce in the plate, not even on the side. Really?? You have to ask for sauce?? Slaw was decent, seemed relatively fresh. Wife had "loaded" brisket baked potato with fried mushrooms. Good size but was DRY with only brisket. Menu stated comes with butter and cheese, a LOADED baked potato should also have sour cream, bacon, and green onions or chives. Fail. Mushrooms ok but seemed like fried from frozen, breading not great. Would give zero stars if possible. A proper bbq restaurant should always give bbq sauce, a loaded potato should have ALL the fixings. Even if they're on the side, would have been better than none at all. Texas, Kansas City, and St Louis know what real bbq is. Get with the program folks. We like trying locally recommended restaurants when we travel, but sadly let down. read more

This place is terrible! Ordered takeout and was awful! I ordered a LOADED potato with brisket and was totally plain but for the meat. Husband got 2 meat plate. Didn't get the toast it was supposed to come with. Ordered slaw and got two. If I didn't have ranch with my mushrooms, the potato would've been in edible. Also, it did not come with barbecue sauce of any kind. That's totally unacceptable for a barbecue place.! Wish I could actually give stars! We are from Texas and know what barbecue is supposed to taste like this is not it!! read more

2 hours waiting for food is insane. Worst service I've ever had. No follow-up or apology for the wait. Sucks

Fantastic bbq!! I had brisket... my wife pulled pork both terrific! Bbq sauce also great.

Great atmosphere, amazing wait staff, and really good BBQ. The home made chips are a great side to the freshly smoked BBQ. They use cherry wood, so it's a different flavor than the hickory I'm used to back home. Still, great smoke job and really moist & tender. They weren't even listed on yelp when I tried to check in, and the place was quiet for lunch. This could be because they're well off the Main Street and you wouldn't know where to find them unless you looked. Still, all told. Great lunch and deff a place to checkout if you're in the area. You know what would be great with the chips? Pimento Cheese... But maybe that's just the Carolina boy in me. read more

Fox Creek BBQ - Barbeque Near Me - Batesville, Arkansas

Great little off-the-beaten-path BBQ joint! The brisket was seriously some of the best I've ever eaten. Nice selection of sauces on the table, including one simply called "pig". My favorite combo is "sweet & sassy" and "hot". Excellent homemade chips, too. The vibe is country rustic with friendly small-town service and prices to match! I found it fairly quiet on a weekday lunch, but I'm guessing it's a bit more lively in the evenings with live music. read more

Fox Creek BBQ - Choose your sauce & dive in! - Barbeque Near Me - Batesville, Arkansas

This place was great. We had been wanting to try it for a little while now, ever since we learned of it's existence. It did not disappoint! I ordered the Moo Pig Sooie and found it to be pretty amazing! My boyfriend ordered the ribs and was very happy with his choice as well. Would like to go back in the evening sometime when they have live music, will definitely return! read more

Fox Creek BBQ - Moo Pig Sooie. AMAZING! - Barbeque Near Me - Batesville, Arkansas

I love this place so much. Good food, good service, and on the weekends there's live music. The fried mushrooms are my favorite.

I had the steak and shrimp with a baked potato. The steak was OK, it was a little cool. I guess it set a little long. the grilled shrimp was good! I got the loaded baked potato, I should have ask what was on it. Just cheese and sour cream, no bacon, no chives or green onions (I did ask for some green onion, but they didn't have any!). I may go back and try the BBQ one day. read more

Delicious!! Stopped in for a quick bite and our table had the brisket sandwich, chopped pork sandwiches and baked potato. All were excellent! Great service, too! Strongly recommend a stop here!!! read more

Tried this place again. Trying to give them another chance and I can honestly say it was even worse. Two waitresses smoking inside the open Restraunt. We went during lunch and they were slow and could still barely get a refill. The food must have been days old. LAST AND ONLY CHANCE this place is down right awful. read more

Best BBQ I think I've ever had. The fried mushrooms are also fantastic. I had the baby back ribs with a seriously savory dry rub and the baked beans are perfect. We don't come to Batesville very often but this will probably be our favorite spot anytime we're in town! Bonus points for very friendly service and great music. read more

Nice spot in Batesville for some good BBQ , cold beer and live music . Great service and fun atmosphere. Good pork sandwiches, I'll be back ! read more

Well we came in at lunch and there was only one other couple in the place. Ordered fried pickles and unsweetened tea. Pickles were good and then we got our food. Should have left at that point. Salads were old rusty lettuce and translucent tomatoes. The pulled pork was either poorly made or old and reheated in the microwave. The smoked sausage was worse than what you can get out of a vacuum sealed pack at a grocery store. I ordered the "grilled vegetables" which were obviously taken from a frozen vegetable medley out of the bag and straight onto a flat top where they were scorched beyond edibility. Over all very disappointed in this place. read more

Good food, good music. Excellent selection of alcohols. Service needs improvement. Adding words makes this count as a review. read more

May have caught them on an off day but below was my experience. BRISKET = dry and rubbery SAUSAGE = burnt BEANS = undercooked ATMOSPHERE = great place just wish the food was better read more

My first visit was for a work function and they easily accommodated the 25 of us for Lunch. The service was good and the food was fantastic! Definitely want to go back! read more

Fox Creek BBQ has become, under guidance of the new owner, one of the best barbecue stops south of Kansas City. So far I have tried: Ribs- Absolutely fantastic, delightfully sweet. Pulled pork- VERY well done. Steak fries- pretty hard to mess these up, but paired with the variety of sauces provided I kept clambering for more. Altogether, this is a barbecue place you wouldn't mind traveling for. That's no joke. read more

Went there on 9/2/21 for lunch. The place was about half full and we were promptly seated. The waitress brought our drinks and took our order, at about 12:05. Then we waited and waited and waited, for over an hour. Finally, when the table next to us(they came in 15 min. after us), got their order, we asked about our order. The waitress said ours would be right out. What she brought out, was not our order, however. She asked what we ordered and went to check. Seems our order got "lost" and they'd have to start over, no apology, no offer of discount or anything. We opted to leave and went to Hardies, as we didn't want to wait another hour. Won't be going back and wouldn't recommend. read more

Great local joint with good stuff to choose from! You can't beat it in terms of the other places in this location is mostly fast junk food so your options might be extremely limited but you can't beat good Bar-B-Q! read more

Me and my family came to town and it was advertised as a fun family friendly historic Restraunt. That was not our experience at all. We stood waiting at the door while the waitresses just looked at us from the bar like they were arguing about who had to deal with us. Got seated our table was sticky and had salt and sugar everywhere, not a huge deal we just kind of wiped it off. Then we noticed dead bugs behind the bbq sauce and we asked our waitress to move us and she was very rude and put us at a different table and gave us a different waitress. After we got our drinks we waited over 45 minutes before she even came back to get our order. And they weren't very busy. Most of the time we were waiting they were standing at the bar talking and hitting their vapes just blowing smoke in the Restraunt. We got our food and half of it was wrong and cold. We politely addressed it to the waitress and she just grabbed it off the table and walked off. We waited a while for her to come back probably 25 minutes and so I finally just walked to the bar and she had thrown the food away and did not get us the food remade and never came back to tell us anything. And still charged us for the food she threw away. We argued the situation for a while but the "manager" who was very rude also told us the owner was an ex cop and there was nothing we could do. So we counted it a loss and just paid our tab and left. The place is not family friendly. And there is not southern hospitality in this place. And the food is not worth the horrible experience at all!! read more

Meh. Would not recommend. Hate to say that with one visit on one plate of food. Went here based on a Yelp review which you can typically trust. I got the 1/3 plate baby back ribs over the chicken(asked waitress for her recommendation). Ribs were barely ok. Four BBQ choices on the table, didn't particularly like any of them but went with Mild. One tasted like straight whiskey, Old No 75 maybe? JD reference I guess...with too much JD. Tater salad was supposed to be phenomenal, wasn't. Tasted like store bought salad. Cole slaw was mediocre. They have plenty of other items to choose from, maybe they're all delicious... read more

Very impressed with the BBQ pork as well as ribs. Slaw was mayo based and really tasty! Beans were great as well. I like that they have 4 different sauces to find your favorite. Daughter had chicken tenders and I'm shocked they were fresh and not from a bag in freezer. Waiter was friendly and knowledgeable. Totally enjoyed! read more
