Those 60,000 plus of you that are following me should know by now this is the place to be if your stomach is wanting some of the best bbq you have ever experienced come to the brothers owned - SMOKE N’ BONES

Incredible. This is the best brisket I’ve ever had anywhere in central AR. I would go so far as to say it rivals my favorites (Franklin, Cattleack, Hutchins). The atmosphere is great too, but unfortunately I had to get it to go. Service is quick and the pit-masters are very friendly. 10/10

Awesome owner! Great food! Amazing service! Everyone is super friendly great place to eat. Would definitely recommend! We drove all the way from hot springs to eat here and would make that trip 7 times a week.

I drive past this place every day for work and today I decided to give it a try. I ordered a full Rack of Ribs, Double Smash Burger, and 1/2 pint of grits. The grits were full of flavor, the ribs were smoky, tender, with a crunchy/smoky coating fantastic, and the smash burger really hit the spot. We will definitely be going back and will make this our new stop when we are in the mood for some good BBQ. Would highly recommend giving this place a try for anyone who is curious about it.

The service was friendly, patient and super kind. The food was absolutely delicious! I had the BBQ baked potato and it was a good size and loaded down with toppings. My husband got the pulled pork sandwich and onion rings and he said they are the best onion rings he's had in a long time. He also said the sandwich was a good size and great flavor. We eyed the desserts, but were stuffed so definitely something to come back for. The pies look delicious

From a Texas boy who misses BBQ from the homeland, this place hits the mark. Super friendly staff welcomes you in like family and serves food the same. The smash burger is one of the best I’ve had in Arkansas. French fries have an incredible crisp outside and inner smoothness. The onion rings are delicious with the best crunch. If you like creamy mac n cheese that tastes like it was on the smoker, you’re welcome.

Googled good bbq places near me and I got to about the 3rd or 4th page of the suggestions and I came across Smoke N' Bones. What got my attention first was the Dino beef ribs. Seeing it was about a 30 minute drive, we were willing to drive it since good bbq is hard to come by. 1st experience was AMAZING and definitely won't be the last visit. I've already told my family about it and shared it with whomever I know. We got the 3 meat plate with brisket, smoked chicken, and pulled pork with two sides: Mac and cheese and baked beans with one of their amazing rolls. The bbq sauce was not good to us and the pulled pork was dry and shredded a lot instead of pulled.. We also got the sliced brisket sandwich and fries! Amazing! 1 Dino beef rib which was the best beef rib I've ever ate. So tender and juicy and seasoned perfectly. It didn't even need any sauce... neither did the brisket. It was amazing as well! So tender! Last but not least, we got a DBL smash burger to go. We asked for it to be deconstructed since we were eating it later. Listen! That was one of the BEST smash burgers I've ate. So overall, 8/10 and that's only because the bbq sauce wasn't to out liking and the pulled pork was dry and shredded. Other than that, it was pure perfection! This place is definitely worth the visit! We LOVED it and the staff was great! Keep up the great work! Even on a bad day, keep going! oh, also! Pricey, but I mean everything is expensive. They're literally taking their time with their food and smoking their meats and giving you quality foods and great portions too!

Fabulous local and friendly owners. New brick and mortar location. Expanded menu. While I was not going to just eat and try their entire menu in one sitting I did get a sample of burnt ends and banana pudding. SOLID. The BBQ smell and look is super appetizing. Unfortunately I showed up for their smash burgers. Does not disappoint. It's a mixture of ground brisket and sirloin. It's got flavor and everything you would expect in a juicy smash burger. I look forward to trying the remainder of the menu.
