Allen’s BBQ Company

I stopped by on the recommendations of a client who lives nearby. I had a chopped beef sandwich with coleslaw. The bread was a bit stale and the beef didn't have that smokey BBQ flavor, but, it was good nonetheless. The coleslaw was fresh and was really good. The staff was upbeat and very friendly. I had a pleasant experience.

We are learning that the popular way of getting bbq beef in Arkansas is chopped and between two pieces of bread. Which leads us to believe there's really not much smoking going on. Sausage tastes like it came from the grocery store. Stop here if your to hungry to wait for something else. Sauce it til it tastes good.

Saw the sign so I took a chance and I'm glad I did. A small off the beaten path BBQ joint with great service and awesome barbecue. I had the half chicken with the beans and the Cole slaw. Did I mention the beans have chopped brisket in them? Yeah, they do! Cole slaw was surprisingly good. Brisket had a nice smoke line and wasn't dry or chewy. I'll definitely stop through here again on my next trip to Little Rock.

Do not sleep on these guys... I was making my rounds in Arkadelphia and was referred to Allen's BBQ. I'm a rib man so I had to see what they're about. The pound of ribs (3 spare ribs, to be exact) came to about $14, after tax. Also, I grabbed the "Mac Daddy," a combination of Mac and cheese, baked beans, pulled pork, bbq sauce, all topped with cheddar cheese. It was good (not the greatest BBQ Mac I've had) but I came for the ribs and I wasn't disappointed! They were seasoned, they were smoked, they weren't overcooked. I always order ribs naked to make sure they hold up and not relying on the sauce. They hold up. I will be back... Good job, Allen's

Tried the BBQ quesadilla with beef and a side of beans, both were great!! The beans are nice and saucy, the beef is well smoked. The three sauces (original, sweet, and hot) are all different amd delicious. A great spot to stop.
