About Smokin’ Buns BBQ
Smokin’ Buns BBQ brings authentic pit-smoked barbecue to Little Rock with a commitment to low-and-slow cooking that has made it a standout in the city’s competitive BBQ scene. This neighborhood gem offers diners a genuine taste of Arkansas barbecue traditions, where meats are smoked daily over hickory wood and served with house-made sides that complement the bold, smoky flavors.
The menu showcases classic barbecue staples done right, from tender pulled pork and fall-off-the-bone ribs to smoky brisket that’s sliced to order. Visitors can build their own platters or opt for hearty sandwiches piled high with their choice of meat. The kitchen takes pride in their scratch-made sides, including creamy mac and cheese, tangy coleslaw, and beans that simmer with hints of the same smokehouse flavors found in the meats.
The restaurant’s interior embraces its barbecue roots with rustic wooden tables, vintage barbecue memorabilia, and the welcoming aroma of wood smoke that greets guests at the door. The casual, family-style atmosphere encourages diners to relax and savor their meals, whether they’re grabbing a quick lunch or settling in for a leisurely dinner with friends and family.
Smokin’ Buns BBQ serves as an ideal destination for anyone craving honest, no-frills barbecue in a welcoming environment. The restaurant excels at feeding hungry groups, making it perfect for family gatherings, casual business lunches, or weekend meals when diners want comfort food done right without any pretense or fuss.
