  Used to be good (notice when the reviews stopped), then they started cutting corners and changed their recipes. Now I don't know of anyone who goes there regularly. You're better off hitting up Dewayne's a few miles north on Hwy 7 in Dover or Whole Hog down I-40 in Conway. This place just isn't worth it any more. Sad day.

  Stopped for lunch  on the way to Memphis .  I had the pulled chicken sandwich and my husband the pulled pork with the mixed sauces. Both we're excellent . The coleslaw is good , not creamy . I would recommend adding it to your sandwich.  The staff were all kind and helpful.

  I've never felt more like a local Arkansan than I did when I finally decided to eat lunch at a restaurant that shares a building with a gas station.  Sure, BBQ joints are typically rustic or plain old dirty, but watching hillbillies fill up their '87 Rams while I stuff my gullet didn't seem that appetizing.  Nonetheless, I have concluded that Fat Daddy's makes the best barbecue in town.  Their meat is insanely tender and they will cook it in the sauce (sweet or spicy) of your choice.  The spicy sauce tastes mostly of pepper and vinegar while the sweet sauce is closer to Texas barbecue.  The secret, dear reader, is to ask them to mix the two together when they cook your sandwich.  
  
  Don't bother with the sides though; the cole slaw is nothing special (though they'll add it to your sandwich for free), the green beans always taste strangely of peanut butter, and the fries are below average.  Save those calories and just get a bigger sandwich.

  BBQ was awesome. Will eat there more often. This place was recommended by my realtor and new friend John, he said it was the best and was right.

  Great place for BBQ. My favorite is the Salad with Smoked Chicken.

  This little sandwich joint, tucked away just off I-40, just changed my life when it comes to a pork sandwich. We pulled in for gas and were lured in by an amazing BBQ smell, and with that curiosity of " does it taste as good as it smells?" your forced to buy one. Let's just say if I was anywhere in the state again I'm defiantly going out of my way to get another...maybe three or four! It's a must try. On a 1-10 it's gets a straight up 15!

  I would have to say that this is one of the best BBQ joints I've been to.  The BBQ is fantastic.  The sauces are amazing, with either sweet, spicy, or combined.  Also it is right off the interstate, very accessible, just about half a mile.  And they always have the TVs set to ESPN.  Well worth a stop off if you're heading through the area.

  aka Fat Daddy's Bar B Que.
  
  Not a restaurant but a small catering counter found within a gas station. Random? Completely. We was' road trippin cross country and we stopped for essentials, Gatorade and road beverages. Smelled the BBQ and had to have a couple of their pulled pork sandwiches. Not your typical BBQ sandwich. Theirs had a significant taste difference, the flavor was sharp and afterwards we felt satiated and fresh. The sauce was more of a black pepper with a light vinegar finish. Our taste buds were perplexed; reminds me of those Cole slaw's which aren't sweet, but tart.
  
  Searching for the correct location on-line was a feat! This spot is located in a gas station, which brand I can't remember. Thinking Texaco or Phillips.  Worth mention, because if you are as crazy for BBQ like me, maybe you too had hoped someone reviewed it.  
  Yelp app. get it.
