Southern Girls BBQ

So I had high hopes for this place and since I was in town working I figured i would give it a try. I choose the BBQ pork chop special with side salad and baked beans. Let's start with the tiny salad... it was the best thing in the plate and still wasn't that good. Next we have the baked beans. They tasted like they came straight out of the can and nothing else was done to them. I had their baked beans in the last and was impressed with them. These were not the beans I remembered. Last and but not least... the BBQ pork chop special... waitress told me it was really good and so I was like let's give it a try. It looked appetizing when She brought my food. But the pork chop was way over cooked and rubbery. I was really disappointed with it. Maybe next time I will just get a burger if there is a next time. I am really skeptical on how this place has 4.5 stars..

Catfish was awful. Didn't even taste like catfish. My daughter thought she'd be safe with a cheeseburger but it was yucky she said. Staff no better. Our server didn't smile once. Acted as if she was mad about having to work. Floor sticky, table sticky, condiment containers on table sticky.

I'll give it 4 stars cause it is the only place near by. Food is good though! My cheeseburger was great. Fries were crisp. BBQ sauce tasted extremely familiar which makes me think it isn't home made, but even if it is it's still a good flavor. Not a bad stop and will definitely come back if I am this direction.

For Memphians on their way to Heber Springs for the weekend, this is a must stop - They have a real bona fide smoker - the bbq is an absolute taste of perfection. I stumbled upon this place on my drive home from Heber a few years ago - every single detail was awesome, the sauce was worthy of Memphis BBQ...This is a wonderful diversion on the way to Heber.

Pretty good stuff for being in the middle of nowhere. The brisket and ribs were tender. BBQ sauce is tangy. Sides were ok... probably premade and brought on the truck. My friend loved his bbq sandwich. Pie was decent but not great. I'd like to come back to try the patty melt.

Rebuilt and reopened and just as good as before. Southern Girls is your typical hometown restaurant with a little bit of everything on the menu, it's where I take my yankee friends to impress them, I even take Memphis friends there and impress them too. My menu favorite are the St Louis style ribs served dry with 2 sides of your choice. These are cooked fall off the bone tender every time and best I can do is a half rack and I am a big eater. I always ask for the hot barbecue sauce that they keep in the kitchen which is pretty much the table sauce but with some heat added to it. Also like the crinkle cut fries and I switch between the white and yellow potato salads depending on my mood. Chopped pork sandwiches are always great and your first reaction will be to ask for a second bun because theres no way all that meat fits on one bun. Homemade desserts speak for themselves and hey have iced tea glasses big enough to drown in. If I had one complaint it's that the home style french fries aren't blanched so they can be iffy. Otherwise every plate I've ever received there has been top of the line. They just try really hard and its evident by the amount of locals that pack the place every day.

Newly rebuilt and open!Update they tore down the building and are building a new restaurant looks like it will be open soon. I'm guessing around Aug 2015Torn down and gone. July 2014

I was staying in town visiting from Oklahoma and got take out. I ordered half a rack of ribs and a pound of sliced brisket. The ribs were outstanding! Very tender and flavorful, and it was a large portion. The sides of beans and okra were great too! The brisket had a nice smoky flavor and also was prepared to perfection. The ladies working there were super friendly too and made sure my order was correct before they let me leave. I hope to visit Pangburn again and when I do...I'll be back!!!

Great burgers. Friendly staff. Can't complain about anything. Really busy place for a small town as well.

Without a Doubt some of the worst BBQ I have ever had. All I heard was how great this place was. We ordered take out , Pulled pork sandwich and Brisket dinner. The pulled pork was Dry and no flavor. The so called Cole slaw was chopped so fine , it had no taste. The sauce was on the side in little cups . You either just dumped the cup in the sandwich or try to dip it in the small cup. Over all I will never go back there. Drive to Sercey and go to Whole Hog BBQ, much better.
