Alwayssssssss packed and be prepared to wait in line for some time unless you order ahead but the BBQ is really good and I'm from the south. My favorite is the pulled pork sandwich. Delicious. The staff is always polite though even though there's normally 10 people in the extremely small space. Also the hours of the restaurant are very weird. Only open on certain days.

Normally it's okay but today my wings were horrible no flavor and rubbery, I see a major decline in consistency. Chuck

The food was good. However, the mac and cheese with brisket was plated as if it was the last in the pan. I've ordered it before and it was wonderful. This time the mac and cheese was less and kinda hard with choppings of crumbled brisket. The beef ribs were magnificent. Just tried to impress a Bad Brad's fan. Arkins has the best flavored BBQ around so far.

Presentation was great, flavor not really hitting. Cole slaw and Mac n cheese were not edible. Very disappointed. Service was friendly, tho. No love or effort put into the food or flavor at all.

Lines are out the door and your wait may be 15-20 minutes for a meal, but it was worth it! Tried brisket, pulled pork, and spicy sausage - all delicious. Sides are homemade and unique - enjoyed it all!

Arkins is one of the best BBQ restaurants I’ve been too. The chicken is so tender, the greens are phenomenal and not to mention the baked beans is delicious!

Always great food. But the customer service lacked this time around. We preordered a week before for Super Bowl food. We arrived at our pickup time and they were behind by 45 min. Almost missed kickoff. Then they ran out of cornbread and didn't offer anything else to substitute for it nor did they give us half jalapeño cheese cornbread like we ordered, just the plain kind was given. We were charged for the full order so we paid for two more cornbread than we got, waited 45 min longer than our scheduled time, and weren't offered a replacement or credit.
