Craig's is one of those places where the food makes up for everything else and makes it a 5 star experience no matter what. I do recommend sticking to the sandwiches as the ribs aren't particularly good.
I finally drove out here to check out this highly rated bbq spot (according to my coworker). There's only a few tables inside so I decided to get something to-go. I asked for a rib plate and the lady said they were out of ribs. The bbq beef was my backup but they were out of that too. So I reluctantly got a bbq pork sandwich with mild sauce and slaw on the side. The pork is sliced, not pulled and the sandwich is quite small. It was just under 6 bucks but felt like a snack sandwich.As far as taste goes, it was just ok. I tried with and without slaw and it's definitely a bit better with the slaw. But I am not a fan of their bbq sauce, which is quite vinegary. I'm sure some folks like it, but for me it's a pass.I have to add that I was a bit annoyed that they were out of 2 meats by 1:30, when they were open until 7 on that particular day. If the demand is that high they should prepare more. Just an opinion.

But you have to be very open minded when I’m talking about Atmosphere. I personally love it.

I stop here for a bar-b-que everytime I'm passing through. Not much to look at , but good food.
Me and a buddy went here because the restaurant came highly recommended by another friend. We were very excited to eat "the best BBQ you ever put in your mouth" (as it was described to us). It was the biggest let down ever. First, we felt like we were an inconvenience to the people working there. Like they were bummed out we stopped by. The atmosphere was weird. It was not like being at a normal restaurant. The tables were sticky and filthy. There was no restroom. All they had to drink was Dr. Pepper and lemonade. Then we got our food. I am not even sure if it was beef, but my so called brisket sandwhich was the worst thing I have ever eaten. This place is disgusting. Do not go here if you are BBQ fan. You will be highly disappointed. I do not understand the hype and rave reviews.

On a recent trip I googled" where is the best BBQ in Arkansas and this place came up. In a town of 600 people and open since the forty's. You order your sandwich and they ask hot medium or mild? Slaw or not? Then they go in back and out it comes wrapped in wax paper. There was 3 table eating when we got there. Then 5 orders to go came in and 2 more tables. Two of the togo were 90 buck each. Cash only here no credit debit check of WIC ! The sandwich was medium with slaw and was AWESOME.If you are in the area it's worth the trip.

Excellent BBQ!!! Don’t let the building fool you into not stopping, friendly and if you like authentic southern BBQ this should be on your list. The coleslaw may be the best we’ve ever eaten.

Really great BBQ, unique sliced pork that you don't see many places, if at all.

Quality Memphis style BBQ at a good price. Simple menu doesn't need tons of options because they focus on the basics. Fall off the bone ribs and sliced sandwiches with slaw on top were great but those beans were some of the best I've had, anywhere!! Worth the detour from I-40. Cash only so be aware.
We had 17 sandwiches on my order today ..it was perfectly
