17 Best Barbeque Restaurants in Fayetteville

“Absolutely love this “joint”! Staff is super friendly, cooks are great, and the Superman in the phone booth is the cherry on top! PS…best pancakes in town!😁“

“Best people and Best BBQ I have had the pleasure to experience in AR.“

“Had the brisket sliders - they were awesome - so was Tony and his service. Definitely 5 star!“

“I love Penguin Ed's!!! For health reasons, I try to avoid ultra-processed foods, especially highly refined carbohydrates and artificial flavors, colors, etc. I'm always in search of restaurant options where I can get REAL FOOD -- including plenty of low-carbohydrate vegetables -- especially on days when cooking for myself isn't workable for one reason or another. My favorite selection is Penguin Ed's pulled pork and green beans. So flavorful! And -- best of all -- the fabulous flavor clearly results from skillful traditional cooking methods rather than the chemical flavor-enhancers that are in practically everything these days. The only way that their food could be any more nutritionally awesome would be if the vegetables were organic. (And if the meat were from grassfed animals, it would be even more incredibly fabulous.) But I won't quibble about a difference of degrees between near-perfection and perfection with this local labor-saving resource. When I want to include a higher carb selection, their pinto brown beans are wonderful. Traditional, flavorful, and naturally high-fiber which helps my blood sugar levels remain stable. Penguin Ed's has delicious food that makes avoiding unhealthy ingredients a delight rather than a chore. I'm so grateful that I found a local restaurant that is making real food in traditional ways. The traditional preparation methods (slow cooking meat in its own juices, simmering beans along with cuts of pork so they absorb meaty umame flavors) make their food delicious without the use of toxic, damaging chemicals -- and so much healthier than all the chemical-laden fast foods and convenience foods that are all around us in the SAD modern world. I love the bulk options such as a quart of beans and a 1/2 pound of pulled pork. That always makes the trip worthwhile. I appreciate that the bulk carry-out containers seal very well, so I haven't had any mishaps getting even a large order home. I also love that their online ordering platform is very easy to use. Also, the servers and counter personnel are always attentive to detail and very cordial, which is definitely the icing on the cake. I'm so grateful that I can get real food at Penguin Ed's -- and even a sugar-free refined-carbohydrate-free meal -- that is so exceptionally delicious. I should mention, also, that my husband heartily approves of their ribs and their baked beans. Many appealing menu options, for a variety of preferences!“

“Been here many times over the years great place clean clean bathrooms clean clean place friendly people“

“Delicious Barbecue. This place has an awesome owner who I’ve seen on site every visit, he very knowledgeable and friendly. Service has always been top notch. Their prices are fair and portions are large. Their sausages are best in town! The gos will take you to FAC but the entrance to the bbq is around back inside the tennis dome/bubble. They have free shuffleboard and foosball. Overall this place has great bbq and entertainment for the family :)“

“Great b-cue. Lunch special is so affordable.“

“Perfect everytime!“

“This is an overdue review. My family has long loved this place and we have been coming for years. Dont let the unassuming exterior fool you. The couple who owns the place are just lovely people, and the food never disappoints. I admittedly never order sushi, and see little reason to start, Im here for the Korean food. Its a Dolsot Bibimbob for the wife, and kimchi bokkeum for me. If you've ever considered trying it and just haven't worked up the nerve, drop on in and try the kalbi (shortribs). Combined with the sides that come with it - its a gateway drug.“

“Great service! Fun atmosphere! Unique! Great food!“

“We came to town from Mountain Home where we own a small cafe and this was by far some of the best food we have ever had! The staff was fun and friendly and super accommodating to our little kids and the food was out very quick as well! We are in town once a month and will definitely make this a regular stop!“

“First of all management is top tier. My brother introduced me to this resturant and I expected another Outback like steak place. No, this place will go above and beyond. I felt really appreciated will continue to return! Also, the T Bone is amazing.“

“I dont care what new BBQ joint pops up in or around town..this is the best brisket, hands down. The place is decorated with trophies..........winning BBQ trouphies. Be easy with the Volcano sauce and tell the staff how good the food is in person.“

“I really wanted to like this place. I read all the negative reviews but I wanted to see for myself. The service was top notch the food was horrible! I got the wet brisket and it had a rotten meat taste with no smoke flavor. my wife got a pulled pork sandwich and it tasted and smelled like mamwich.They're also way overpriced. it cost me $45 for a pound of brisket and a pulled pork sandwich no sides or drinks. I will never go back.“

“Came here tonight love eating here great food friendly people clean clean bathrooms clean clean place“

“Have eaten at Sassy's on Steamboat Drive. Two were takeaway. ALL 3 were a rip-off. The amount of meat is pathetic. Was told that meat served is weighed and owner is very strict on it. $22 for a beef sandwich with 3 little slices of meat, soggy fries and cold slaw that was basically sliced cabbage with no taste. I've given them 3 chances and expressed my feelings each time. Totally over rated restaurant.“
