Soooo good! Started with their loaded BBQ fries with brisket, which was very good. The food highlights were the ribs, brisket, and spicy baked beans.Food and service get a 10 out of 10!

BEST BBQ I 've had in a while!!! We were visiting in Fort Smith Ark, and were jonesing for some barbecue, we googled for advice and based on the reviews picked J.C's B-B-Q Place. WINNER!!!! Not in Fort Smith, but maybe 15 min away it was fantastic. A small venue, a real family feel, many regular customers ( ALWAYS a good sight, we ordered the plate combinations, brisket for my spouse and pulled chicken for me, both were delicious, in addition we got hand cut fries, cole slaw and the side I recommend: sweet hot bbq beans... sweet hat and delicious. Staff if very friendly and welcoming. One warning its so popular it was getting pretty busy around 5pm with the local crowd who enjoy it too. Well worth the short drive I recommend 1000%

I am so grateful that Yelp lead us to JC's BBQ. This was our first time in Arkansas and was so excited to get some southern BBQ! Yelp lead us to JC's and we are soooo happy. This is by far the best BBQ I have ever had!!We ordered so much food because we wanted to try everything!! Our favorites: the ribs, brisket and fries. We left overly full and happy.

Burnt ends was amazing!! Fresh cut fries, baked beans and a buttery roll!! All perfect. I can't think of one thing I'd change or add. I'm from Little Rock and I can't find good bbq anymore. I'll be eating here every time I come to van Buren. Great staff as well! Plenty of room to park and set.

The restaurant was clean and had the typical bbq joint atmosphere. Friendly and welcoming. The food was delicious and the service was very good. Their mild sauce was sweet and tangy. The potato salad was very tasty. The fries were hot and yummy. I got the three meat platter to take some home with me. My husband and I had another meal each. Lots of good food. The only disappointment was that they had run out of fried okra. Other than that, it was a nice lunch.

Food was great!! A little wait because they are so busy but it was worth it. All the servers were extremely nice and place had a good feel of an older Bbq restaurant. Brisket was melt in your mouth along with the burnt ends

Oh. My. Gosh. This was a great find. Needed a quick lunch and wanted to try BBQ. This was it. So dang good. The brisket quesadilla did not disappoint. Neither did the loaded baked potato or the ribs- which my wife says weee the best ribs she's ever had. Service was incredible and they have an awesome map on the wall with pins for people to put from where they are visiting from, which was really cool to see! Cannot recommend it enough!

Brisket quesadilla with fresh jalapeños was incredible. It comes with pickled jalapeños but I recommend the fresh.
