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.

Best all around BBQ in North Central Arkansas. We spend a great deal of time in the area and…read more this place rivals any bbq joint in my home town of Memphis . Get the sausage or the brisket. Its all good but these are my favorites. Service is always friendly and the vibe of the place is like an old tavern with out the booze! Really cool.

I don't know how in my years of eating at this wonderful barbecue place that I've never left a…read morereview. Every time I come to Searcy for business, I try to hit one of my Searcy favorites. I've had many options from this restaurant. Brisket, burn ends, pork candy, smoked sausages, pulled pork. I can honestly say that he dozens of times I have ordered takeout Have all been really good. Brisket has always been tender, with that wonderful smoked fat that just dissolves in your mouth. Pork Candy nothing like poor man burn ends with pork belly. They are tender and have wonderful flavor. Smoked sausage is one of my favorites. I get it almost every single time I go by there. The jalapeño cheddar is the go to choice. The spices and jalapeño cheddar just worked very well together and it's smoked to perfect perfection. Pulled pork is good and flavorful. It's been a while since I've had it so I can't recite exactly how it tasted. Burnt ends are always a hit. If I get the fatty pieces then I love them and would eat two or 3 pounds of them over a weekend. If it's the non-fatty pieces they're OK. They have a little more chew to them than I like. But that doesn't stop me from getting them when they are offered. New location on race Street is easier to access and it's got dine in options. I know that's good for them. I still do takeout almost every time. Until my next trip to Searcy!

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.
