What People Say

The Smoke Stack burger garners rave reviews. Its combination of juicy meats and toppings creates a flavor explosion that many diners can't resist.
House-made sauces deserve special mention. From spicy BBQ to tangy North Carolina sauce, these add an exciting twist to every meal.
The relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere allows for quality time without feeling rushed. Children enjoy their vast kids' menu, and adults appreciate the variety of craft beverages, particularly the extensive tea selection.
Appetizers like mac and cheese bites and cheese curds often steal the show. Many diners can't get enough of the spicy cheese curds that pack a punch.
Most Disliked
Occasionally, the fried mushrooms receive mixed reviews for their texture. Some diners find them too chewy for a satisfying bite.
During peak hours, service can slow down, leading to longer wait times for food. Though the staff remains friendly and accommodating, patience may be necessary during busy lunch periods.
A few customers mentioned that certain items like ribs can come out slightly dry, albeit flavorful, which some found disappointing while trying to navigate the rich menu.
Limited dessert options relative to the savory menu has led to requests for more sweet choices, especially given the popularity of the savory dishes.

TL:DR Delicious BBQ joint with a wide menu and friendly service! Details: Went here with a group of 10 on a Friday for lunch. Friendly service, constantly refilling drinks and very patient with our large group. The menu was pretty wide, including all the normal bbq stuff, specialty burgers, sandwiches, and more. We tried several of their appetizers, and loved the mac and cheese bites and the cheese curds (the cheese curds are SPICY) but we did think the fried mushrooms were a bit too chewy. There was a wide variety of dishes ordered, and everything was great! Particularly recommend the Smoke Stack - I got it with chicken instead of a burger patty, and it was AMAZING! Their seasoned fries were also great, and they have a bunch of different sauces - something for everyone. I would highly recommend trying this out if you are ever in Searcy!

This Guy's Smoke n Grill for the win! Loved it. We came here after a soccer game on a Saturday. It was after the lunch crowd so there were plenty of seats. We tried to come here once before and it was too crowded and couldn't wait it out. Glad we got to experience it this time. Food was great. Loved all the sauce options. Super friendly staff. Big enough portions that required to-go boxes. And we got to keep the cups the drinks are served in. I definitely recommend it if you are in the area.

We really enjoyed this place. Very casual and unasuming, but very busy even towards 2 P.M.! Service was really personal and special! The food was delicious, the ribs were just a bit dry but tasty! I tried the casserole which was a hot "potato salad" on bottom, but was more like scalloped potatoes with a bit of sour cream? And seasons, then melted, baked cheddar, and finally meat of your choice. I did smoked pulled pork! It was a LOT! Topped with bbq sauce of choice right at the table! Will go there again! Little Momma was our waitress, best wishes for your sweet family!

The service was good. The food was great. The atmosphere was delightful. My wife had the catfish and she loved it. I had the triple meat burgerwith the North Carolina sauce. By the end of our meal, we were dipping everything in the North Carolina sauce and then we bought a car to bring home. The whole experience is great.

I NEVER respond to reviews and unfortunately can’t directly, but in response to Tommie pembertons review; this is a great restaurant with not only friendly staff but good food. You were told the fried pies take 8 minutes immediately after it was rang into the system making it simple for you to cancel the order before cooking. Your food was ready when you got there (the pie wasn’t added until you got there) , so yes it wasn’t unlikely for it to get cold. Unfortunately anything cooked or fried has a wait time. The conversation in question was not only from a moral standpoint, but a biblical one. I understand the Bible can be uncomfortable but the point was that as Christians, it can’t be cherry picked. Judgment is as sinful as the sins we judge. It wasn’t a part of the book I’d preach to children, but only adults were involved in this conversation and I’d love to further explain what we were discussing if you’d like to reach out! Have a blessed day ❤️

We went here because we had been told by our brother that they had good catfish (as well as other things). The brother was right! Catfish was very good and reasonably priced. We literally walked out of a different catfish place earlier that day because the catfish was way overpriced, but this place was right on with prices. I also got to try the pulled pork which was good as well! My sides were good, including the fried okra, the hush puppies were tasting great, and the fries were good. The fried pickles were a very good appetizer! I also like the atmosphere. Being a Christian, I loved that they were not afraid to put up Christian decorations. We are already talking about wanting to go back and try something else, like the ribs.

This was really good BBQ! 👍 Thanks to Chris for the great service. I had the half rack of ribs, potato salad, and baked beans. This was a fantastic meal. Loved the dry rub ribs. They make their own BBQ sauce, and the Texas Bold was my favorite. I'll be back in town for visits, and this will be a must eat at place. Update: I came back for a rematch. And it did not disappoint. The ribs were great and paired with the Texas Bold sauce were more than a match for any BBQ place around. The Mac and cheese had a smoky flavor and was amazing. The potato salad was some of the best I've ever had.
