Drip Drop BBQ Shop

There are secret places the locals go for exceptional food. It's not about glitz and glamor nor hot and trendy, it's about good food that satisfies the taste buds. Enter Drip Drop BBQ Shop, perhaps the best untold secret in Hot Springs. There isn't much to the atmosphere, but the brisket and pulled pork will definitely make you overstuff yourself. Most brisket looses beef flavor because of over smoking or higher temps causing the meat to drain moisture. Drip Drop's brisket is cooked very very slowly allowing the meat to be cut with the grain versus against the again. The result is brisket the actually tastes like beef, almost a beef roast meets brisket flavor. Their BBQ sauce is very pleasing and doesn't distract from the flavor of the meat. It doesn't have much heat but it has just a little bit of sweetness that makes each bite better than the last. The pulled pork was also excellent, with tons of moisture and just a wee bit of sauce to give it a smooth and mellow flavor. Although there are still more the menu I would like to try, the brisket and pulled pork are clearly winners in my house.

Great find. I'm new to Hot Springs and glad to find this gem. I'm Texan and picky about brisket. Drip Drop was great. Good smoke, fat ratio etc. The sausage was great as well. I'm not a big fan of coleslaw and theirs was really good. I did take out and the portions were huge which was great for leftovers.
I will definitely be back.

Delicious BBQ! I got a BBQ pork sandwich with coleslaw on it, a generous side of fries, and a cup of sweet tea. The staff are friendly, and courteous. I will definitely be back.

Had the most amazing ribs, brisket and fried noodles with smoked sausage. Every bit of it melts in your mouth! The perfectly crisp edge around the outside of the brisket was my favorite!! Didn’t get a picture of the ribs as my date ate them before I could snap a picture. Can’t wait to try some of their desserts made from scratch. Superb service as well. They offer catering and also have a food truck!

Do not come looking for a skimpy plate because they don't serve them. This Brisket Burrito had crispy melted cheese crust. I had plenty leftover for lunch tomorrow. It was worth the drive into town.
