    a sign for a smokey barbq
    Blake B.

    For Memphians on their way to Heber Springs for the weekend, this is a must stop - They have a real bona fide smoker - the bbq is an absolute taste of perfection. I stumbled upon this place on my drive home from Heber a few years ago - every single detail was awesome, the sauce was worthy of Memphis BBQ... This is a wonderful diversion on the way to Heber.

    Pretty good stuff for being in the middle of nowhere. The brisket and ribs were tender. BBQ sauce is tangy. Sides were ok... probably premade and brought on the truck. My friend loved his bbq sandwich. Pie was decent but not great. I'd like to come back to try the patty melt.

    Great burgers. Friendly staff. Can't complain about anything. Really busy place for a small town as well.

You have to try the potato babies appetizer. It's $5.50 as I post this and you get A LOT of potato wedges. The server brought 2 cups of ranch because there were two of us there. That's a very subtle and very nice touch to customer service. The food was excellent of courses, as were the desserts. T had the first scoop of banana pudding for the day and I had the chocolate fries pie with ice cream. I'm only a little upset we didn't purchase one of the brownies or a slice of pecan pie they had sitting on the bar. Both looked really, really good.

We got the 3 meat 2 side meal : catfish, ribs and fried shrimp 2 sides fries and potato salad. Catfish was delicious with the fresh squeezed lemon I love to add The ribs no flavor, dry, was disappointed My husband didn't complain or brag about the shrimp Potato salad, man I was so disappointed. Definitely a taste I've never experienced, especially in potato salad The fries were delicious We decided to stop again for more catfish on our way headed back home after the wedding. 2nd time experience we got the deluxe catfish and doubled the fries Only complaint was they were out of lemons. Bar tender wasn't friendly or welcoming.

    We really enjoyed Cowboys Barbecue! It has that casual, welcoming feel of an old-fashioned barbecue…read moreplace. You don't have to wait to be seated--you just come in, find a table, and make yourself at home. The service is especially friendly because all the girls seem to take care of everyone. Instead of having just one server, they all work together to make sure you have what you need. It makes the whole place feel relaxed and welcoming. But the FOOD is what really got me! We used to live in Texas, and I have missed good Texas-style brisket so much. Their brisket took me right back--it was absolutely outstanding! Tender, flavorful, and exactly what I've been looking for. The barbecue sauce is sweet and tangy, just the way I like it. And the fried okra... I honestly think it may be the best fried okra I've ever had. So crispy and delicious! The nachos were outstanding too, and the portion was HUGE--more than enough to fill up one hungry person. The brisket dinner was just as generous. There was so much food on my plate that I couldn't finish it all. If you've been looking for great barbecue, generous portions, friendly service, and that laid-back hometown atmosphere, Cowboys Barbecue is definitely worth a visit. We will absolutely be back!

Also had beans and potato salad. When my food arrived I could immediately tell it had been reheated in the microwave. Even with that the ribs were tender and tasted pretty good. The Bad- the brisket was dry and because it was reheated in the microwave it was way overcooked. Dark dark gray color with no juice in it what so ever. It was flavorless and very underwhelming. Beans were just beans. Be better if they were seasoned and put on smoker to get the flavor. Potato salad was good. Liked their hot bbq sauce.

Sign on the door and drive thru said New Hours. Closed Mon-Tues. open at 8 Wed-Sun. I was there in the middle of the day on Wed. Anyway. Don't waste your time traveling to Newport for Lackeys. They closed up shop and bailed on the challenge.

    Well, people. Let me tell you a story. My family and I are on our way through Arkansas to Texas. On…read morethe way we wanted to experiment with ChatGPT to give us some good ideas for some amazing Arkansas Cuisine. ChatGPT recommended this place. Let me tell you, when ChatGPT says it can be wrong, it can be very wrong! You pull up to this red shack and notice the sign to tell you "This is the place" is 80% gone with missing lettering. The shack it self looks like it's ac window units are about to shatter and fall out of the window seals. Anyways, so you pull up, open your car doors, and the family is excited for some good ol' fashion family bbq. You walk into the door and... your feet are sticking to the floor. Well okay maybe someone spilled something, then you walk and realize, you were right! Someone did spill something, over the entire floor! Some of the floor is missing sections as well. Also, the atmosphere does not smell like bbq, grilling, frying, or anything else. It smells like urine. No other way to describe it. The ceiling above our head by our round table looked like it wanted to collapse on our heads. The bathroom... the bathroom should tell you all you need to know about this place. I know you're thinking, "why did we stay and order food". Well, we thought maybe, just maybe, it's a diamond in the rough. It's not a diamond, it's just in the rough. We ordered our food, grilled catfish, hush puppies, beef bbq plate, pulled pork sandwich, Tamala's, etc. Let me break these down for you piece by piece. Grilled Catfish - edible, small, expensive, and sad. Hushpuppies - Burnt and about as hard as marbles. Beef bbq plate - beef is decent, props. However, the coleslaw, flavorless, the beans, sad, and the Texas Toast, just toast, oh well. Pulled pork sandwich with Cajun fries - sandwich, absolutely flavorless, Cajun fries, fries with salt and pepper. Tamales - Good, but not worth the price. Presented poorly, and with the atmosphere, scary. Did I mention the food was served one-person at a time? Every single person had time to finish their plate before the next person got their plate. Also, the containers of Tartar sauce and ranch were grimy and spotted with black specks. I tried to squeeze out some ranch, but only a thin white liquid came out. What does this tell you about how this place cleans and stores their condiments? The people are kind, it's not the workers personality. It's the condition of the establishment that do a number on this place. Why do I want to eat food from a place that doesn't take care of itself? Does that mean it doesn't take care of their food? I will not always give places chances, and I don't know if you, reader, will either. However, if you do, do not give this place your chance. This place needs work, and a lot of it. However, ChatGPT did say this was authentic Arkansas cuisine, so maybe that is exactly what we got.
