About Howell's BBQ

Howell's BBQ is a popular spot in El Dorado, AR, known for its authentic and delicious BBQ. The menu features standout dishes like pulled pork, brisket, and ribs, all prepared with a great dry rub flavor. The brisket is consistently praised for being tender and not over-seasoned, with just enough fat to enhance its flavor. Customers enjoy the Arkansas Sweet Green Beans, banana pudding, and baked beans, cole slaw, and hash brown casserole, which are all highly recommended. The ribs are fall-off-the-bone tender, and turnip greens are a favorite. The brisket sandwich plate with spicy barbecue sauce, barbecue beans, and hash brown casserole remains a popular choice. The staff provides excellent service, making for a friendly and welcoming dining experience. Many customers mention that the food looks and smells so good that it’s hard to resist diving right in. The owner, Mr. and Mrs. Howell, are appreciated for their hospitality, making guests feel at home. With great portions and fast, kind service, Howell's BBQ continues to be a top destination for BBQ lovers. Recent visitors have enjoyed the pulled pork, noting it as flavorful and juicy, while the cornbread received high praise. However, some felt the portion sizes were smaller compared to other BBQ joints. Howell’s remains a great option for anyone looking for tasty BBQ while on the go.

Looking for great BBQ. Head to Howell’s. Lots to choose from on the menu and we chose the pork nachos and rib tater. The potato was huge and with all the fixings was as big as the nachos. We left very satisfied. They have a drive through as well as call ahead for pick up making it easy to get this great BBQ.
