Just passing through and saw this place close to 167, so we stopped. We were in a hurry so got a to go order, brisket sandwiches, everything was delicious! We loved the potato salad and coleslaw, brisket was great, even the tea was good! The staff is friendly, so this place gets 5 stars, we love the small mom and pop places that are still around serving up tasty food!!!

Howell’s Barbecue is hands-down one of the best BBQ spots around! The flavors are incredible, and everything tastes like it came straight off a pit master’s grill. Their baked potato is loaded to perfection, and the brisket is tender, juicy, and full of that smoky goodness you want in real barbecue. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and every bite makes you want to come back for more. If you’re anywhere nearby, do yourself a favor and stop by—Howell’s Barbecue never disappoints!

Hands down the best barbecue brisket I’ve ever had in my life. Everything at Howell’s is absolutely delicious, and the people there are phenomenal. The quality, the flavor, and the service are all top-notch. If you haven’t been yet, you’re missing out!

I don't normally don't eat BBQ out because I smoke meat at home a lot, but I decided to try Howell's as I passed through town. I am so glad I did. I ordered the pulled pork dinner, potato salad, and baked beans. The meat was flavorful and juicy, and the potato salad was just like my Grandma used to make. The lady at the counter was super sweet and friendly. The portion size was large as well. The spicy sauce was really good too. I'll be stopping again when I go through town!

Traveling through on a motorcycle vacation and hunger hit. We opted for bbq and Howells hit the spot.

Momma’s pulled pork sammy was flavorful, moist, and “yummy” according to her. My sausage and turkey 2-meat plate was also very good. Sausage is not spicy, not greasy, and very pleasant. Turkey was moist and with a little of the “spicy” (not really) bbq sauce it was great.

Potatoes and gravy were average, turnip greens probably from a can, but the cornbread was excellent.

Definitely beats fast food and the service was great! We ate it all!

3.5 stars. Basic bbq joint. Got the two meat combo with brisket and ribs, potato salad, and beans. It was good, but not exceptional. I felt like the portion size was a tad on the small size too compared to other bbq joints I’ve been
