“ Husband said he was here many years ago so we stopped by as we were passing through. Parking is a little wonky but the dining area was great! Directions to walk straight to the back to order. Menu on wall by register. We had bbq spud and ribs. Both were very good. Certainly better than any bbq we've had in Memphis (and we've had all of them). The service was prompt and amazing as well. We don't normally travel this way but I would stop by again. Highly recommend. ”

“ My nephew and I made a trip to McGehee in November to take care of some family business. We ate at Hoots both nights we were in town. Hoots' BBQ and our service were just the best. We sat in the bar area both nights and the first night we had the BBQ beef brisket potato and the BBQ beef brisket salad. The homemade ranch dressing was best I have ever tasted. This meal was so good that we made reservations to come back on our second night. That night we ordered the sampler plate with onion rings along with a half rack of the ribs. Both the pulled pork and the beef brisket were so tender that they just melted in our mouths. Their homemade barbecue sauces were so delicious! The mustard sauce was my favorite! The ribs were so tender that the meat just fell off the bone. We knew they had been slow cooked for hours to be that tender. We stuffed ourselves both nights. This is truly some of the best barbecue we have ever had. The prices there were very reasonable too. The wait staff was very friendly and helpful too. It is no wonder that this place is so well known for its barbecue. Go there and try some. You won't be disappointed. ”

“ My husband and I happened upon this place last year on a road trip from FL to OK. This year we hunted the place out when traveling the same way. Absolutely delicious. Last time we ordered way too much and ate ourselves stuffed. This time we ordered sandwiches. Buns melted like air - meats were fall-apart tender. Still ate ourselves stuffed! We'll be back next trip! ”

“ Food was amazing. Stopped in right at 11 on a Friday and the parking lot was packed. By 11:30 the line was to the door. ”

“ When you are driving in rural Arkansas, and are hungry and you see a BBQ joint on the side of the road with the parking lot full of pick up trucks, you stop. Lots of choices, I had the pulled pork sandwich with Cole slake added and sweet potato fries. It was delicious. The place was busy with definitely happy regulars and newbies. ”

“ Hoot's has been on my must try BBQ restaurants for sometime now. We were visiting with a park ranger, telling him of our travel plans and he recommended we try it. So glad we were in the area! This was easily some of the best sliced brisket I've ever had...no joke! My wife had a BBQ baked potato which she also loved...perfectly baked. My BBQ beans and cole slaw were good, but typical of most BBQ restaurants. The only marginal item was the side of toast. It was a bit dry. We split pecan pie for dessert...delicious! In fact, we enjoyed it so much we ordered a piece of carrot cake & German chocolate cake to go. They were equally delicious! Service was very friendly and speedy. If you love great BBQ, you must add Hoot's to your list! ”

“ The food was excellent. You order at the counter but they bring you your food. I will definitely come back here again the next time I'm in the area it was a barbecue joint but they also had burgers and they had this country fried steak and that's what I got the french fries are homemade which is a plus for me. ”

“ Really great BBQ joint with a massive menu. Everything from all your traditional BBQ favorites to chicken fried steak. Love the look of the interior! The brisket salad was very good. I liked the mustard based sauce slightly more than the other, but both were great. This was during lunch so you ordered at the counter. The menu covers an entire wall, making it a bit hard to order unless you are a regular there. I believe in the evenings you order table side. When I'm driving through again, this will be a planned stop! ”

“ This is an excellent place to eat. The owner is speaks of the restauranteurs life as a lifestyle choice. This says it all. If one is on committed to the lifestyle choice of running a restaurant, they shouldn't go in the business, per the owner. This is her philosophy, and it speaks volumes as evidence of the entrées delivered to us. Oysters on the half shell were of a good size, fresh and tasty. Barbecue dishes, of course are their specialty. Try the sampler if you're not sure what to get -- it offers, brisket, pork, ribs, and chicken. Other in our group of six also tried Poboys, fresh shrimp, all of which were excellent. Go and enjoy. ”
