The cashier/server was extremely nice and has such a warm personality. The combos come with 2 sides, a dessert and a (canned) drink! Such a great deal. I got the two meat combo with ribs, chicken, mac n cheese, corn bread and a lemon cookie, which came out to $25. The ribs, cornbread and lemon cookie were amazing, the mac n cheese was good and the chicken was eh, kinda dry. Overall, a great experience and I am looking forward to my next visit.

I loveed the brisket they had the brisket was very tender and not dry the pinto beans were good and sweet the potato salad seem like it was made with whipped butter it was different but really good . The price for a two meat plate with drink and dessert was 25$ would definitely recommend to someone wanting barbeque

Love this place. I tried it for the first time last year and it is now my go-to BBQ spot. We had them cater my daughter’s birthday party and everyone was asking where the food came from. These guys can smoke a hog boy I’ll tell yee. But it’s not just the meats… is the sides. The baked beans are just insanely good and the man n’ cheese is actually cheesy. I used to go to another BBQ place on Tennyson which shall remain nameless but now I have tasted the truth, smelled the light and the experienced the meat sweats of destiny… I’m a Ragin’ Hog man now.

Sweet family owned bbq spot! Wish we would have discovered them a couple of days earlier! Burnt ends were great as well as the two stews offered. Brisket and chicken was delicious! Had plenty of leftovers! The buttermilk pie is an ole fashion delightful treat with flaky crust! Too full to order anything else but wanted too. I knew something was different about this place when I asked where are yawl from? Oh my goodness lovely lady said her and hubby were from Arkansas! Fellow Arkansans! Great service with a smile and that hometown feel. You won’t be disappointed when you drop in to eat inner take out.
