I'm learning things about Arkansas bbq. Some of these restaurants we are visiting have been around for decades and the locals swear by them. While I wouldn't necessarily continue to go to them, because of differing definitions of how the meat gets smoked, these places continue to do well. JJ's is one of these examples. Brisket doesn't really taste smoked or bbqed but has a decent flavor. Sausage is delicious. Baked beans were the best part of the meal and the coleslaw was just average. Employees were very nice. Would go back in a pinch.
Take off your shoes!, Before you bite into one of these Ribs... So you can wiggle your toes while you're eating it. Good food.This restaurant has a homey feel to it. Although I've only ordered to go,it feels nostalgic,relaxed on the dining side.The side items for takeout orders is put in a small cup. I used pics to show you as best as I could. I sometimes order and extra side. The meat portions are more than enough to me.Don't forget to add one or two of those pickled peppers at the counter,they are crunchy,not spicy but good. You'll love the food. Enjoy the pics.
Looking for a good place to eat and found this on Google and it seemed that people loved the food. It is a little "hole in the wall spot" but gal taking orders, was also waitress and in between was sweeping the floors. I knew right off it was going to be a favorite because she was so friendly and outgoing. I ordered brisket, potato salad and BBQ beans. It came with Texas toast. The brisket was a bit dry but the food was great and service better! I would go back again if in the area.
I've eaten here a few times while in El Dorado. Its a small place but they have been around a long time because the staff is very customer service oriented and they're food is delicious. Its a little past downtown but still a great location and has a great reputation for having quality food. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a true southern bar-b-que experience. You will not be disappointed!
