Smoke Shack Bar-B-Q in Maumelle

the Ribs are like rubber and the Bbq pork cold same sauce reheated every day , bbq beans cold , friendly staff but the food is questionable at best

First time having Arkansas B.B.Q.and I enjoyed it immensely.

Great food, good service

I stopped here for lunch while on a roadtrip, because I wasn't in the mood for waffle house. This place was way better than I expected and some seriously delicious BBQ! The meats are definatly the star of the show - deliciously smoky and tender - but the sides played a good supporting role. The portions were also very generous for their prices - I got a half rack of ribs, two sides, and a drink for ~$12.You order at the counter and they bring your food out. Everything is on styrofoam, utensils are plastics, and there are large vats of their two sauces available. Its casual and may not look like much, but its definitely worth the stop!

Great food and good value.

Excellent food! Great favor!

The restaurant is across from the hotel we're staying at. You order at the counter then a runner brings you your food. My wife had the pork sandwich which was packed and I had the half rack (6 very meaty) of ribs. They use a dry rub and offer four sauces. It was a great experience.

Best pork bbq sandwich I've had in a while. When they say hot it's hot. Really great and especially for the price

Visited here last night, ...ordered 2 jumbo specials for elderly, 1 beef & 1 pork. Guy asked which sauce I'd like...i said the sweet. Got home & cook had put hot/warm potato salad in & the hot bbq sauce on the bbq!! My old folks could not eat it! A total waste & embarrassing as I'd bragged so much!!

Excellent BBQ. Had pulled pork that was great as well as the Tomatoe relish and coleslaw.

Our food was takeout. The pulled pork and brisket were really good and the sides were outstanding..extremely friendly servers.

Great Food. Small wait but they are very fast ... It is worth it.

BBQ green beans and coleslaw was awesome friendly atmosphere reasonable prices will stop again and try the ribs

Very good portions for a BBQ restaurant! It's refreshing to find a BBQ place who does not skimp on the sides!

Great food everytime I stop by this place.

Generous portions. Jumbo sandwich with two sides and a drink for $8.99 is enough for two people. Love the sweet and spicy BBQ sauce. French fries taste like fresh cut potatoes.

Awesome BBQ. Their hot BBQ sauce is actually hot. Great service

Typical BBQ place, nothing special but still good. I ordered my meat spicy and they delivered. Potato salad was too mustardy for my taste, but that might be a signature of the South

Wonderful smoked meat! I had the turkey with sweet & spicy sauce and it was moist and the flavor was outstanding. Great lunch place. They also have a nice selection of Ozark jellies and jams.Three stars for tired decor and unremarkable sauce.

Had smoked chicken. It was very good

Great BBQ with large portion sizes. You order at the counter and someone brings the food out to you. The pulled pork was smoky and there are three different flavors of barbecue sauce you can add to it.

Food is great. Prices are reasonable.

Was good bar bqDriving buy and in less than 10 mns had enough pulled pork and 2 sides to feed my wife and I for two meals. Carry out.Great friendly staff.Will stop in from now on.

Great food and pleasant atmosphere.

Chicken was a 5 star everything else a 4 star staff was excellent and they have a big bar

Excellent pulled pork barb-que....ummmm

You get quite a bit of food for your money. I had the rib dinner. It came with two sides of my choice and a drink. The ribs did taste like they were smoked or cooked on the grill. They were meaty , but not tender.

Very good BBQ. Edit: This place seems to have drifted a little. BBQ is still good, but soggy fries and over salty sides seem to be the norm.Edit: 8/2/17: Gave this place another chance. Food was much improved. Really wish the food prep would take care to avoid running liquid from sides making things soggy. I deliberately order a sandwich with sauce on the side to prevent soggy bread, but the entire bottom of the sandwich was mush because of the green bean liquid running around the plate. This may seem trivial, but the entire bottom bun was inedible.

Very good service very good food like that Miss fear and the speed in which it was delivered to the table the price was as expected.

Today made my 3rd visit, all carry out. Got home got half way through dinner and I found a long black curly hair in my sandwich and my daughter found a short brown hair in hers. Called to have no one in charge to speak to then was advised to bring sandwiches back to have remade. Even if we dinned in that would not have been ok. Who still has an appetite at that point. Monies should have been refunded and left at that simply because taking a chance driving back there to take the chance of that happening again?Not to mention the person on the phone was very nonchelant about it.I WILL NEVER GO BACK NOR REFER A SINGLE PERSON

Tender ribs, hand cut fries, smiling friendly staff. Best ribs in AR. Big trucks can park @ Shell & walk across street from Waffle House. You'll be glad you stopped by.

Outstanding local food! Will come back again!!!

The aroma meets you in the parking lot. Simple menu excellent food.

Some good bbq found by accident...right across from our motel...homeade rubs yummm

This was one of the best BBQ places that I have eaten. I would give it 5 stars but they failed to inform me the hot sauce was fire hot. Overall, it was great food and a great experience. My wife does not like BBQ and she enjoyed herself as well.

One of the best bbq places in central Arkansas! Nice smokey flavor in their meat. Good price to quantity and quality ratio. Their sweet and spicy sauce is perfect!

Best bbq sandwich I know of. Nice to find a place that does beef as well as pork. The sauce! I won't say it is too hot, but you will empty whatever you are drinking.

Best BBQ in town! Always hits the spot. Great fries too!!

Great people. Great service. Great food.

First-time Wow this is some fresh and delicious food. Beef was smoked just right, really was so Damm good.

Good bbq, fries, other sides not so good. Business needs money put into the place to update it.

The other patrons most definitely didn't want "outsiders" there and gave off a weird vibe. Food was ok. Coleslaw was better here, tasted mostly homemade, I didn't care for the baked beans. My smoked turkey was pretty tasty, the beef was just ok.

Seriously.... If you came to look at reviews to try this place, them you really haven't driven by to smell how good it is. STOP reading and STOP by and you won't regret it!

I had the daily special which was delicious and enough for 2 people! Great customer service 👍

Best BBQ around. Jumbo pork sandwich special is my normal order. Sides are generous. I prefer the original sauce, but their other sauces are also good.

Some of the best bbq I've ever had! Try the tomato relish!

Delicious and friendly

Service was mediocre with a nonchalant feel. The BBQ is alright but there's much better within a few miles that rhymes with Rims. The 2 star rating is for the portion sizes. Wasn't impressed.

Came in at 753 pm. Closes at 8 pm. Was offered to dinner to go only, no dine because too close to 8 pm. Maybe should close earlier then... ridiculous

Great food! Their to-go party packs are wonderful for family gatherings and they make the BEST home-made fries ever!!!
