Three Sams was my 353rd ‘cue stop across 35 states, and the tenth in Arkansas. It is located about a mile south of I-30, in a small town a bit southwest of Little Rock. The ambiance calls to mind the small town diners of my youth, and the hours of operation (10:30-2 MO-FRI) also hint at the degree to which the restaurant serves the local community. The menu encompasses burgers and other non-BBQ staples, but there are several BBQ dishes to choose among. I ordered a regular beef sandwich with skin-on potato salad. I wanted onion rings, but alas they had no batter with which to make them. I also wanted to try the blackberry cobbler, but they were sold out; one of the waitresses did promise to set aside the last serving of peach cobbler, which she had baked earlier in the day! The beef is chopped, and came heavily sauced, so there was no noticeable smoke. Next time, I would ask for sauce on the side. The potato salad was tasty, but store bought; the peach cobbler needed more fruit to balance the light and airy cake, but it was homemade. And all of this came to $13.32, plus tip.

Visiting from Washington and I knew this had to be the last place we would eat before heading home. We totally saved the best for last!

One thing that had me excited about returning to office is eating here for lunch. Haven’t had their loaded baked potato in 2yrs, OMG it’s just as delicious as I remember it! You need these flavors in your mouth, it’ll thank you. The facility is small so seating fills up quick. I always order pickup, never had any issues. The staff moves fast so even if I arrive early, I never had to wait too long for my food. Great place!!

Walked in the door to a great smell of food cooking. This joint is the rebuild of the business that burned down a few years ago. The fly’s love the single door to the dining room from the outside. I went during lunch, but the service was quick when I came in but slow getting my food. I ordered ribs with a side of beans, slaw and onion rings. Several others were served who came in after me before I got my food. My food was served temperature warm which made me think my food may have sat in the kitchen for a minute. The slaw was a little dry; the barbeque beans were good enough to want a second serving. The buttered Texas toast was basted with butter that tasted great. The ribs were tender but so tender it seemed like they may have spent a lot of time in the oven cooking or staying warm. The sauce poured over them gave them a sweet taste. The joint does a lot of business, so I will try the dry rubbed ribs next time. I will wash all the food but dessert down with some of the best tasting sweet tea they serve. The best part of the meal was dessert. Man-o-man I will have to tell you it will be a hard choice would you visit. I had a piece of pound cake that was moist and tasted ever so good. The cake and several other desserts made in-house were available. The portions and price were reasonable. You should not leave out hungry. They have several choices of eats here, and I am sure you will be able to find something to fit your hunger. Great place to come along or bring the family.

Someone ran through their pit so they didn’t have beef or pork, the ribs tasted like they were cooked in the oven but they were good. My hubby really enjoyed the footlong….we will go back and try the actual smoked meat.

Three Sam’s BBQ was excellent! I went in during lunch time and it was extremely busy. They ask you to wait outside if no table’s are available (definitely worth the wait). We found a table and we’re immediately greeted and the waitress took our drink orders. She brought them back quickly and took our order. I got the chopped beef sandwich with slaw on it and substituted the fries for the chips. The BBQ isn’t overly spicy but has a definite tang to it. Would definitely recommend and go back.

Wait staff is very friendly and the food is cooked perfectly! I’m not a huge fan of vinegar based bbq but it was good. The beans are very good and tastes like a different bbq sauce in those. Fries are the perfect cut I.M.O. Thank you for a great dining experience!
