Delicious bbq! Get the "stuff' as well, you won't be disappointed. My niece and I stopped in early during our long drive from Little Rock to Seattle and enjoyed visiting with the lovely women working that morning. Regretting that we didn't get fried pies as well.

absolutely loved this placed! was visiting family and needed some good bbq. H.B.'s did not disappoint. jumbo pulled pork sandwich with the cabbage was delicious. before i knew it, i had eaten the entire thing, and was wanting another one. if you have the time, totally worth the wait for the fruit filled turnovers. will go back the next time in town. thanks everyone!

Good food, small home town atmosphere, friendly staff. Had the pork sandwich and it was really good, like eating a bacon sandwich. The beans are awesome. The tamales were good as well. The two ladies taking orders when I was there were funny and very personable. Hard to find that now days. Definitely going back for the ribs, only served on Tuesday. I would definitely recommend this place. Note they only accept cash. Also there dining room is small, so you may have to wait. Worth it though.

Love this place. It's tiny with only 4 or 5 tables, tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. Delicious pit beef and pork bbq. Great fried chocolate pies, too! Say hi to Jenni, best waitress in little Rock!

The food does not disappoint! Had a pork plate that was very good and the beans were amazing! The fries pie was also good. It’s a little out of the way, but worth the detour.

Great little dive-like BBQ joint with great BBQ and delicious fried pies. Like 20 different flavors of fried pies! This hidden gem is just what you would hope to find and expect from a southern smoke house. Don’t miss this one!
