There were no tables for a group of more than 5. We walked in and no one greeted us or asked us how many were dining. We proceeded to move to tables together and was abruptly stopped by the RUDE owner and told not to move them. (Apparently it’s a reoccurring problem). Completely killed the mood and we should have left because half of our orders were wrong. The food was mediocre at best. I would suggest greeting people and asking if they have more than 4 people dining or signage before I was rude to my customers. She also made us well aware she was the owner. (I guess that makes it ok)

Loved my whole experience here. Reminds me of the small hole in the wall restaurants where I live. Good people, great food! I got the loaded chili dog and it was incredible! Took a slice of peanut butter pie to go, couldn’t resist! Pic of my food with sunglasses for size reference!

We love 3 Sams! Just passing through town and stopped because it was close to our hotel and the reviews looked amazing. We had some meat with us, so we ordered sides to take back to the hotel with us for supper. Amazing potato salad and some of the best onion rings I've ever had (I don't even like onions!), and the baked beans were fabulous too. Topped off with a few cookies and a brownie that did not disappoint. The owner/chef was so friendly and made us feel very welcome in Little Rock. Looking forward to another visit on our way back!

3 Sam's is our favorite BBQ joint in Little Rock. We recently used them to cater our wedding and it was a huge hit. They made the food fresh and even stayed to help serve. We highly recommend!

We are from Alabama and stopped by passing through. I went for the loaded baked potato, but they were out. I was bummed until I ate my potato salad and baked beans. OMG! It was delicious. The BBQ sauce is incredible too! Dip your toast in the BBQ. We will DEFINITELY be back!

Speaking as a Texan who loves BBQ, they only serve chopped brisket, pulled pork, and baby back pork ribs. The two things I normally get, sliced brisket and sausage were not an option so I was a little disappointed, but it gave me a chance to see what the locals liked. I got the chopped brisket w/o the cole slaw on the sandwich and onion rings. The onion rings were outstanding. Large slices with a smooth batter. However the sandwich was not my favorite, but they do give you a large portion for the small sandwich. ?
This is what you think of when you think of a good southern BBQ joint. Staff was all very friendly. Atmosphere was perfect. No loud music or crazy flare. The food was exceptional. The BBQ sauce was a perfect blend of sweet and spicy. After my sandwich they offered up some homemade pecan pie with ice cream. It was the cherry on top to a delicious meal. I wish I lived closer because this would be a regular stop. Great experience all around and the packed parking lot tells you all you need to know. Come eat at Three Sam’s!

Three Sam’s catered our wedding reception and it was AMAZING!! The entire process was so simple and boy did they wow everyone!! We had pork, brisket, baked beans, potato salad, slaw, blackberry cobbler, banana cake and Italian crème cake and there was hardly anything left over and what was, everyone asked to take home with them!! And they included utensils!! All nothing but amazing things to say about Three Sam’s BBQ!!
