My wife and I drove a semi for 17 years and had ribs from all over the country. We love our ribs and when I say all over the country I mean exactly that......... I'm talkin a Bunch. Now I consider myself a babyback rib expert...... And I am,so what's the point in eating out when at home just to be disappointed. Last night (Valentine's day) I took a chance after reading some of the comments. HOLY SMOKES!!!!!! This place is not just a barbeque joint, it's a treasure...... Absolutely the best we've ever had anywhere. Don't forget the beans tater salad and all of the sides.....OMG the coleslaw.LIVE LONG AND PROSPER.

I used to run delivery/catering management and drivers always forget the drinks. Yes your driver forgot my drink but he was so pleasant and brought my drink back in no time with a smile and another apology. So I give the food and the driver kudos

I had a pulled pork sandwich with bbq beans, and that meat was the most tender pork I have ever had at any restaurant. The sauces were also very nice. Beans were great, and the staff is very friendly

It was just okay. Got the pulled pork sandwich. Didn't come with anything but a pickle. I ordered a side of mac and cheese that looked like soup. Never had runny mac and cheese before. Waitress served me and I never saw her again until I left. She was outside smoking and talking in her phone.

The brisket was dry the pork was nothing but fat the beans had chuncks of fat in them the coleslaw was dry. Even the root beer was gross. The best part was the pickles that came out of the jar. Very thrown off first time dining in my work gets their food catered all the time and its always good. Not to mention they want you to wear a mask but the people chopping the meat and working the counter didn't have theirs on.

Friendly prompt service. Really good pricing for high quality barbecue. And the food came out fast. I’m traveling thru motorcycling. I eat one meal a day and I chose this one! What a feast. I got the 3 meat combo so I could try the breadth of their offerings - each was terrific. If they were open Sundays I’d eat there again tomorrow. On arrival I was greeted with a friendly smile and invited to a table. My 1/2 sweet tea 1/2 unsweetened tea was promptly delivered and then topped off correctly the rest of my visit. The meat was tender and tasty. The sauces sweet and I even dipped my sausage in them they were so good. (-:Recommended!

Went & picked up a take out order a little while ago, got a big meal since there was 4 of us eating on it, got home & pulled everything out & the sides were BARELY big enough to feed us. The food was good but the size of the sides for the meal that we got was VERY disappointing

Everything they make is delicious! The chicken is juicy and drizzled in a sweet glaze. The brisket falls apart and even the fat on it melts into nothing when you eat it. This place is an 11 out of 10. The staff are all friendly and amazing. They love people from out of state and will help you decipher anything on the menu you may be thinking about. Absolutely recommend. We visit Mountain Home just for the BBQ!

We were looking for a good place to eat and had stopped for gas, and I happened to find this place by looking up places to eat near by. We were so happy with this place, we are from Texas and didn't expect to find such an awesome place with the most delicious bbq EVER! We still talk about this place to people at home! We wished we lived closer, but we will come back when we venture out on vacation again for sure!!

The food is so yummy. There is a variety on the menu of sides, meats, salads and desserts. Food is good and the people are generous and friendly. Holy Smokes supports charity events and has even donated food to be delivered to people during the Covid19 quarantine. God Bless them.

Their BBQ is amazing!!! We had a large party of 10, they made accommodations soon as we walked in. We'll have to go back sometime as they were out of smoked mac n cheese ☹️. I had the BBQ loaded potato (smoked potato), was delicious!!! Everyone in our party thought the food was great!!! If you're going to go, go early their food is awesome and they do run out of stuff, smoked mac n cheese, ham, and sausages when we were there. No worries food was excellent!!! Reasonable prices, Very friendly staff!!!

Very little dine in business, line is usually a couple of customers deep to place your order because the ribs are that good. If you having a party call them before hand. They also cater.

We got many recommendations for this place. We drove for an hour to get there and we were not disappointed. The interior is not super fancy but the food is REALLY good. The server was the best. She was so sweet and attentive and engaged us in friendly banter. The smoked mac and cheese was wonderful and i also had the smoked sweet corn. We will be back.
