Smokin' Barrel Barbecue - Arcadia

Cute convenience store/restaurant. Gift items. Food was meh some was too salty. Fried okra was almost cold, kids corn dogs were almost burnt. Cajun fries were over cooked. Kids booster seat was so sticky we had to ask for it to be wiped and server gave us the rag to wipe it ourselves. We were disappointed. Probably won't be back.

Smells like a bbq place, looks like a bbq place but it ends there. No smoke ring on brisket no flavor at all. Ribs were worse. Cole slaw is I don't know what and the sauce on the baked beans is so strong. Iced tea and yeast roll rocked. Bbq sauce was very good too. Staff is very friendly but I've had chain bbq that was 100 times better. Don't waste your time and I should have noticed with just 8 reviews in 10 years of biz... hmmmm.

Nice surprise! Went during Covid so no one eating inside. Got ribs to go. Well worth the wait.

Omg, I love this place!!! You can smell the bbq before you even get out of the truck.I had the brisket sandwich and potato salad...it was hearty too, delicious. I ate my food so fast I forgot to take pics but I did take pics of the place. They are building a huge parking lot for us truckers and the bathroom is clean and beautiful. The people were very nice too. I can't wait to come back. It was too early so all the bbq wasn't ready yet.

Really really disappointed...should have listened and left when I heard they cut all the meat at 7 am...cause at 1 pm it was cold and dry put on toasted bun. Husband got 2 meat. Same not impressed. Maybe order something they have to cook. Good luck. Would I stop again NO NO NO ...
