I ordered a jumbo pulled pork sandwich when I got home to deliver it to my father it was a really small sandwich. So I called them and told them that I paid for a jumbo sandwich but got a small sandwich. The lady told me to bring the sandwich back so they can compare buns. And she said both buns are really small, well how do you have a jumbo sandwich when neither bun is jumbo? Small as the bun was it couldn’t get any smaller than that. I told her look you can just pay me the difference from a jumbo to a regular because I paid for a jumbo and I’m headed back to work, number one I’ve already spent 30 minutes waiting on the food why would I come back there and bring a sandwich to let her compare the buns when all she had to do was give me the difference from what I paid for. I did not get what I paid for!. So I told her no I would not come back and she said well the only way she can fix it if I bring the sandwich back, that’s ridiculous! so I told her I won’t be back, she said ok. I hung up. Customer service is horrible! They just lost...

Spent a week in El Dorado, INCREDIBLY happy to find this BBQ I travel all the time and I'm on constant lookout for the best BBQ in new towns.

I got the two meat combo with ribs + sausage. My sides were turnip greens and slaw.

For dessert I had banana pudding.

I made the mistake of "just having a taste" of the ribs on the way back to my hotel. They didn't make it to the next light. They were so good I ripped open the packaging and was driving down West street chowing on the best ribs I've had in years.

The sausage was spiced right and smoked to perfection.

The banana pudding was fantastic.

The slaw and turnip greens were super tasty.

The portions were perfect, the price was great.

I would give 5 starts but they didn't have wings on the menu and they're still keeping the doors closed to dine in. I ordered at the drive through and the wait was well...

The food is great!! The size of the pulled pork regular sandwich was kinda small but...it tasted great! I had to call several times before someone answered to take my order and when I got there to get my order for about 10 minutes there was only 1 guy making plates .most places you go to tries to at least act like there busy and Appreciative of your business I really didn't get that vibe there! The workers just seamed to be going through the motions once they showed up! I think the food was amazing but I believe that they could use some work on how the staff deals with the public and the atmosphere of the restaurant! I really like this place I would just like to see more happy faces and people working on orders when I'm there....just saying!! "THE FOOD IS AMAZING " sorry but just a...

Unfortunately, I have to disagree with the glowing 5-star reviews, those might be from loyal locals, but my experience was far from great. The ribs were dry and tough, like they'd been sitting out too long. The mac & cheese was bland and forgettable, and the potato salad? It looked and tasted more like mashed potatoes. The baked beans had a strong burnt flavor, and not the kind that adds a smoky kick....just burnt. The broccoli casserole was the only thing that was halfway decent. Honestly, I had high hopes walking in, but was left disappointed. The owner really needs to step up the quality and consistency. With the right improvements, this place could have potential, but as it stands, I won’t be coming back.

Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram at SNDTravels Had the large chopped brisket sandwich with baked beans and potato salad. The brisket was good and the the mild sauce I tried was flavorful and enjoyable. The beans seemed to be out of a can and the potato salad had large chunks of raw potatoes. The tea was sour and when I mentioned it to the lady behind the counter she just said it was fresh this morning and made no attempt to check it out. The lady at the checkout was nice and friendly. Even though the sandwich was good I probably would go somewhere else next time I'm in town.

Traveling through on a motorcycle vacation and hunger hit. We opted for bbq and Howells hit the spot. Momma’s pulled pork sammy was flavorful, moist, and “yummy” according to her. My sausage and turkey 2-meat plate was also very good. Sausage is not spicy, not greasy, and very pleasant. Turkey was moist and with a little of the “spicy” (not really) bbq sauce it was great. Potatoes and gravy were average, turnip greens probably from a can, but the cornbread was excellent. Definitely beats fast food and the service was great! We ate it all!
