Reid's Hometown Barbecue

"Super friendly and helpful making tough food decisions....huge selection. The restaurant was very clean organized. The food was great. The portions were big. Their sauce was awesome!"

"One of the very best barbecue restaurants in the entire state, and I say that as a person who has visited more than four hundred Arkansas barbecue restaurants. The brisket is excellent and the burnt ends even better, but they're only offered on Saturday. I usually go for fried pies, but on my last visit had the cheesecake and boy. I am glad I did because there is a local woman who offers different flavors each day and it is worth trying count to what she comes out with. The Reid family are so nice."

"Beautiful drive to Booneville to Reid's and well worth it! I had never been and wasn't sure what to try. The hostess was really helpful in asking me questions and providing suggestions. I opted for a sampler and their brisket and ribs were top notch! The best bbq I've had that I can recall in recent years. Their sides were just as good. I tried the warm potato salad, baked beans, green beans, salad, and mac and cheese, and I would buy all again, but was especially partial to that warm potato salad and Mac!! Don't even think about leaving without trying their desserts. The cheesecakes look amazing but I opted for coconut fried pie and peaches and cream fried pie and was not disappointed! I would go back just for their desserts alone! My family will definitely return!"

"World class BBQ right here. They must be from Texas. Get the Steve's sampler 3 meats 4 sides diner for two. Best bakepotato and okra I've ever had. Better save room for fried pies and ice cream. Bbq sauce wow 3 to choose from. We eat there once a week and it's always good! Home made jalapeno pineapple sausage to die for!!!"

"Everything is top notch! My family of 3 all throughly enjoyed our meals! My 2 year old ate all of his pulled pork slider while doing the happy dance. I am glad we had just enough room to try a fried lemon pie that was recommended by our waitress- it was delicious and paired perfect with the vanilla ice cream! We will have to make the drive from Fort Smith again soon!"

"While visiting Ft Smith we were told of a great place to get barbecue. ~50 minutes from where we were staying was Reid's BBQ. Initially we were going to postpone to Sunday since we spent the day sightseeing however they are not opened on Sunday. We made the drive but sadly they were already out of Ribs & Pulled Pork. We had a great server (Kaylie) and she did an awesome job in getting us to sample what was available. We ordered two Steve's Sampler which gave us plenty of options. The presentation was very good. On one platter we had Smoked Turkey & Burnt Ends,Mac n Cheese, Cole Slaw, Potato Salad. On the other tray we had Baked Beans, Okra, Regular Fries & Cajun Fries, Brisket, 2 types of Sausage and what was remaining of the pulled pork. All of which was very good. We had the Fried Pies for dessert but we only ordered 2 to share. Highly recommend the Pecan Pie w/Vanilla Ice Cream. The second Fried Pie was Blackberry w/Vanilla Ice Cream another great choice. A down side was the Burnt Ends, I found them way too salty which otherwise would have been excellent. The positives outweighed the negative. Starting with Kaylie our server, she made our dining experience wonderful! All of the sides we chose were delicious, the top picks were the Baked Beans, Cole Slaw & Potato Salad. I could not say because I'm not a Mac n Cheese fan so I don't know. The Okra was mediocre and if I'm choosing fries I'm going with the regular. Since we were first time customers our drinks were comped Overall it was worth the drive from Ft Smith. Obviously I want to give a higher star rating but I really wanted the Ribs & Pulled Pork. This does not detract from the overall experience, I would still recommend going however, a call ahead before you go would be a great idea to see if they have what you like."

"Brisket was very tasty and the service was excellent. I couldn't believe how fast the food arrived all hot and so good. Save room for a warm fried pie with ice cream! Girls make sure you use the fun bathroom!"
