Everything was amazing! I've been looking for a good barbecue restaurant in fort Smith and I think I found one ribs were great barbecue sauce is good. The fried pie was super yummy. The burger and all the meat piled on top of it was great as well!! We absolutely never seen a half empty glass not kidding . Absolutely amazing service. I have no idea how I have never been here!”

“This food was gas! I know bbq and this is some the tastiest I've had. The service matched! They were close to closing but they did not rush me nor did the food quality fall off. I had a brisket burger with smoked 🥓 and other burger normal toppings. I also had the salsa and chips. I really didn't care for the salsa, but the chips were really good and seasoned. Also the fries were seasoned differently and were 🔥”
