Being originally from Missouri I have had the privilege of having some amazing BBQ. We use to drive 8 hours round trip to a place in STL for ribs.
Being so close to areas know for BBQ I have had KC, STL, Memphis, Carolina, and authentic open pit Texas BBQ. Texas being the top of the list; that is until I tried Ridgewood Brothers. I honestly didn’t even know AR was on the map for BBQ! But Ridgewood Brothers slapped that completely out of my head! Literally THE BEST BBQ I have ever put in my mouth; not kidding when I say it’s spiritual! There is tons of experience and love in this BBQ!! How it hasn’t been on a food network special yet is beyond me.

We had Ridgewood yesterday for the first time. We were blown away! We weren’t sure what to order and the gentleman at the front of the line to take our order suggested the nachos and said they were large enough to share… he was not wrong! The nachos covered the entire tray! The chips were fresh along with everything else piled high on top. The cheese sauce was amazing and not too thick, the pulled pork was packed full of flavor even without the bbq sauce. The sour cream was COLD cold, a big deal for me. My fiancé said the pico was fresh. But my FAVORITE thing I ate yesterday? The potato salad!!!!! I’ve never had anything like it, creamy, flavorful, freshhhhh, it had a hint of deviled egg and pickle. 100/10. It was so good I went back up and bought a pint to bring home! Their staff was friendly and knowledgeable, the dining room was clean, and the Dr Pepper was crispyyyyy! We will be back and we will tell everyone who loves good BBQ to go see them too!

These gentlemen started their business with a food truck. The demand for their BBQ was so high, that they opened a restaurant. Everything is tender, juicy and filling. Their homemade links are amazing, and the brisket and pork and pickles and key lime crumble and... you can't go wrong. Order ahead!!

Ridgewood is our favorite bbq spot by far! Everyone on staff is so kind and welcoming and I have not tried anything I did not absolutely love! The grits are INCREDIBLE. My husband and I can’t get enough of this place!

Look, I am from Texas and it's hard to please us with BBQ. I had them for the first time for lunch at work and came back for dinner. Awesome food, great taste no sauce, good BBQ. I will be back the next time I come to Russellville. N

Often folks forget just what a good meal can do for you.
For me today? The food from this establishment gave me the morale boost I needed to keep going. Never underestimate the power of brisket.
I hope to continue eating here for years to come. Thank y’all for sharing your food and hospitality 🫶
The food was very delicious. I’ve never had brisket or burnt ends like this except in Texas. The mixed greens were my favorite side.The homemade pickles are out of this world!!!!

The absolute best barbque baked beans were fantastic and the potato salad service was awesum we had pulled pork sandwiches the pork was seasoned to perfection tender and juicy
We had the best tasting bbq today. The brisket was perfectly cooked with a beautiful smoke ring. The turkey is juicy and delicious. All of the sides we are amazing. This is always my go-to when family comes down.
