I have yet to try something I don’t like at KnightFire. The wings are tender and juicy yet crunchy. The ribs are delicious!!! The brisket sandwich? YUM! But I think my favorite might be the smoked bologna sandwich! It’s tender and melts in your mouth!!!

Been wanting to get up to Searcy for a while and today was the day. Definitely worth the drive from LR. Ribs were the highlight. Tender and just a hint of sweetness in the glaze. Brisket was good. Nice smoky flavor. Beans and potato salad were excellent. Pulled pork is tough to do because it tends to want to dry out but it was juicy. You get the obligatory white bread but this was toasted with a little butter, which was a nice extra touch. Staff was warm and welcoming. I will be back. Those ribs are calling me.

I have traveled all over the United States and consumed bbq food. Knight fire craft bbq is without a doubt the BEST top to bottom bbq I have ever had. I travel 11 hours from central Iowa to Searcy for work and this place makes every second of that 11 hour drive worth it. Shout out to the owner who’s a very friendly awesome guy.

Restaurant was filled with smoke from the kitchen cooking. I do not want to smell like smoke.

After seeing countless post on fb I finally got a chance to taste what some call the best bbq in the state. It'll take a few visits to verify those statements. This was my first time and I wanted to experience the signature hitters. I ordered a smoked burger, 1/2 rack of ribs, and a brisket sandwich w/slaw. First the burger. The buns buttery toasted goodness. The burger..clearly smoked to perfection and was thicker than I was expecting but delicious. I'm a big guy and after eating it I looked at the ribs & brisket and thought, oh dear...lol, I might not finish this. Next I try the ribs. Again, smoked to perfection, tender, but NOT fall off the bone. How a competition style ribs should be. These ribs, which were cut uniformly and peppered to the heavens, are really meaty. I easily cleaned tender meat from three of the six bones and pulled up to leave room for the last meat. The ribs could use a sprinkle of dry rub to go with the heavy pepper imo. Last, the brisket sandwich and let me say I should've gotten several of these. Again, perfectly buttered toasted bun, the slaw which was decent, and a massive amount of the most tender, flavorful brisket I've had in a looong time. I bit into it and looked at it. Not dry at all even without the slaw. The fatty pieces in every other bite...mmh, yeeess! I did not want this sandwich to end. I live 2 hrs away and would drive to Searcy just for the brisket. The atmosphere was laid back, spacious, with table style seating. Service was fast as I stood in line five minutes and received my food about ten minutes after ordering. The price was not a problem as I understand the effort it takes to produce a craft product. I'm really hoping I missed requesting some dry rub for the ribs or they'll add it as an option but either way I'll definitely be back.

I don’t know how in my years of eating at this wonderful barbecue place that I’ve never left a review.
Every time I come to Searcy for business, I try to hit one of my Searcy favorites.
I’ve had many options from this restaurant. Brisket, burn ends, pork candy, smoked sausages, pulled pork.
I can honestly say that he dozens of times I have ordered takeout Have all been really good.
Brisket has always been tender, with that wonderful smoked fat that just dissolves in your mouth.
Pork Candy nothing like poor man burn ends with pork belly. They are tender and have wonderful flavor.
Smoked sausage is one of my favorites. I get it almost every single time I go by there. The jalapeño cheddar is the go to choice. The spices and jalapeño cheddar just worked very well together and it’s smoked to perfect perfection.
Pulled pork is good and flavorful. It’s been a while since I’ve had it so I can’t recite exactly how it tasted.
Burnt ends are always a hit. If I get the fatty pieces then I love them and would eat two or 3 pounds of them over a weekend. If it’s the non-fatty pieces they’re OK. They have a little more chew to them than I like. But that doesn’t stop me from getting them when they are offered.
New location on race Street is easier to access and it’s got dine in options. I know that’s good for them. I still do takeout almost every time.
Until my next trip to Searcy!

This place is really good local BBQ. I have traveled the US and eat BBQ in most places. It was really good, fresh, and large portions of meat. We got the nachos with brisket, loaded fries, sausage plate , and pork belly bites. Everything was awesome. The sasuage was not the best we have had but it was good. They have pimento cheese and pickles which I think they make. They have swag if you are into that
