Just ate here recently and had the ribs and corn. Ribs were delicious, corn wasn’t anything special. My brother got the pulled pork and like it as well. My family likes eating here pretty often. Would recommend.

JC’s BBQ has the best BBQ in the Arkansas River Valley! It is one of the first restaurants I went to when I moved to Arkansas in 2018. I have been a loyal customer ever since! Their pulled pork sandwich is my one of my favorites with their hand-cut fries. I also LOVE getting their BBQ Potato. If I’m in the mood for a cheeseburger, JC’s is my go-to! They’re amazing!! My husband enjoys getting the Pork Belly Buster Sandwich! Their service is excellent. The owners and staff are always welcoming and friendly! I highly recommend visiting their restaurant if you haven’t already!

Had the brisket sandwich, loaded baked potato and fried okra! Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. My husband had the ribs, fall off the bone melt in your mouth and the hog wild beans- spicy and tasty. Service was excellent and our server, Kendra, made sure we had an exceptional dining experience. She sent us with iced tea to go. We will definitely come back.

The waitresses were amazing they all worked together. Food was perfect. We got there at the end of the night. And it was just as good as if we got there first in line.

The food was some of the best barbeque I’ve ever had. Service was perfect and fast but not pushy. Our waitress was very sweet! The only thing i can complain about is they had live music (i guess they have it every Thursday) and it was kinda difficult to hear. Would definitely recommend!

My family had a wonderful experience at JC’s BBQ! We got there 15 minutes before closing without realizing it and the staff was still so accommodating! We didn’t feel rushed out of there or anything. The food was also fantastic. Would 120% recommend!

VERY good food. The briquette is my favorite. The hot bbq is very spicy which I love. Not wimpy spicy. The best bbq in town for sure. My only gripe. They said to-go orders take 40 min which is already pretty long for a bbq spot. I got there at the 40 min mark though and that’s when they started my order. Had to wait another 20 minutes.

This is the BEST BBQ I’ve EVER had. I’m from Chicago and have had BBQ at the annual Rib Fest and this is better! You get big portions, it’s freshly made, and the prices are crazy low. They could double their prices and I’d still come, it’s that good. Homemade table BBQ sauces in sweet, mild, and hot are EXCELLENT and worth the trip just for that. If you love BBQ give it a try—you won’t be disappointed. I’m a customer for life!
