Reviews

  • Well deserving of a 5-star rating in fact I wish there was a 6th star. Very nice little restaurant with some of the best barbecue I've ever had. The waiter asked if I had been here before and when I said no, he said just a minute I'll be right back and brought me a plate with a small piece of every meat they have. Every one of them was delicious which made the choice about what to order that much harder. The easy solution was for me just to come back every night all week and try some of everything. Prices are very fair. Everything I've eaten here has been absolutely delicious.

  • The smoked meats are absolutely great! I think the St Louis Ribs are the best of all. I love their special hot sauce. Also, the person who waited our table was excellent too.

  • Had the Rib platter. It came with two sides so I got potatoe salad and BBQ beans. I got one mild sauce and one spicy as I wasnt sure which one was better. So the beans were pretty good, but they seemed to follow the theme of sweetness that goes most of the food served here. The potato salad was again good but kind of sweet. The ribs were the best part (as they should be) they were tender and cooked just right. The taste was very good. Some of the best ribs I've had in awhile. My meal came with six ribs and two sides for 12.99, which I thought was a great barging. Especially after tasting the ribs. So if your in Durant America and have a hankering for some BBQ definitely hit this place up.

  • The food was okay. Meat didn't have that good smoked taste you would expect. Mac and cheese was great. Service was very slow, but it was busy. Our server was extremely friendly and charming. The restaurant building was rustic and pleasant, fun atmosphere. Overall it did the job but I wouldn't go out of my way to visit again.

  • Best barbecue north of McKinney Texas! I love this place. They have huge catfish fillets breaded and cook perfectly in southern cornmeal fashion! My wife and both really like the pulled pork and chopped brisket.

  • If I could give it three and a half stars I would. The service is good and the atmosphere is comfortable but the pricing is too high for the size of the ribs that is served. I asked the waiter if there were bigger size ribs, he took my plate and brought me back ribs that were an eighth of an inch bigger. I won't go back. The ribs I was given were the size of a ladies finger, size six...

  • Great place! We had a large party and they handled it with ease. Our server was great and didn't miss anything we asked for (even the extras were delivered). The pulled pork was moist and delicious without the BBQ sauce. They even do breakfast and have a drive thru!

  • Their food is very good and I especially enjoy the catfish always very tasty very crispy very non smelling fish very clean I love it and they are great people down there. And if you do have a problem with your food if you will let them know they will take care of the situation so if you have a problem don't complain say something about it

  • Arriving in town late in the day we went with the first Google review that looked good. That led us to Main Street BBQ. We were not disappointed. We were greeted when we walked in the door and took our seats. The feel inside was as pleasant as the smell that smacked you in the face when you walked through the door. The food was outstanding and the service was great. The local folks seated around us we pleasant as well and offered us suggestions.
