Ok a road trip to Fort Worth I wanted to try some authentic bbq. I was going to stop in Memphis but I decided to keep driving . Then I found a place outside of little Rock to try, but unfortunately they closed at 2 pm & I didn't pass through there in time . Luckily, my wife wanted Starbucks & we missed both stores in Texarkana, So i found one a few minutes off the interstate & saw there was this bbq place there . Of course I took the time to stop in & try it because the reviews looked decent I got a half pound brisket meal . My 2 sides were the bbq baked beans & collard greens w/ mustard sauce.. I have had collard greens once or twice in my life & I could eat theres all day. The bbq baked beans were probably the best I have had in my life . My wife got coleslaw & corn, both excellent . I liked that they let you serve yourself the sides so you can pile on as much as you want Brisket was decent , I added the mild/sweet sauce with mine. Apparently they brew beer there too, but I was driving so I didn't partake, but just an fyi Only complaint was when I asked for a plastic cup to go ( I was going to fill it with sauce ) the owner/manager got upset &;asked why I needed it..I said I had brisket & I was willing to pay for it., But he gave me a full plastic cup of it to go . But the sauce is so good I figure people might try and come in & just get sauce without ordering anything . Who's knows . It's worth going off the main highway to experience the place in...
Read moreThe first thing that struck me and my partner about this place is how kind everyone was behind the counter, the owner/manager/staff were simply wonderful - each of them. The menu is simple and straightforward and it is easy to be bewildered by how amazing the food smells. We asked them to cut the fat off our brisket - they did so - and we happened to see a couple of slabs of brisket...it looked delicious. Their food was wonderfully delicious, my partner said it was the best she has had. There are not enough words to describe how wonderful their food is...we are from out of town and we would like them to set up shop in our town but at least we have a reason to visit.
Their food is a bit pricey but there was nothing hidden about the prices. We knew how much we were paying and we happily paid. They sell the Coke-Cola bottled in Mexico, my girlfriend couldn't resist. We ate at lunch, next time I might have to...
Read moreBest brisket I've had at a bbq joint - tender, juicy, fatty, flavorful. Not over-salted/brined or excessively seasoned. The pork ribs hit the spot. The rub was a little sweet for my liking, more savory than sweet is a personal preference, but the quality of the smoke more than made up for it. The meat fell off the bone and was juicy and tender, not dry, which is the standard. The bones were at the perfect level of softness so the marrow just melted out, which in my view exceeds standards. That's what I'm looking for in a rib. The pulled pork is just fatty enough to not be greasy, which is what you want. Tender, juicy, goes really well with their sauce and sides. The bbq sauce is sweet and tangy but not overwhelming and not too salty, it pairs perfectly with the meat as they prepare it. The beer is exceptional. Hands down the best watering hole in...
