While traveling for work, I stopped by Howll's BBQ recently and had a really solid BBQ meal. I tried the sliced brisket, pulled pork, coleslaw, and potato salad, and everything was pretty good! The brisket was super tender and had a nice smoky flavor, exactly what you want from good BBQ. The pulled pork was juicy and tasty. I really liked the spicy BBQ sauce they had. The coleslaw was crisp and fresh. The potato salad was creamy and comforting, but maybe a little plain. The vibe of the place was great, and the staff were friendly and on top of things, which made the experience even better. While it wasn’t totally perfect, it’s definitely a spot I’d recommend to anyone craving BBQ and is in the area.

Great food good portions . Had rib plate w/ turnips and bake beans and the sliced brisket plate with cole slaw abd hash brown casserole Corn bread ( which was sweet and good) and sweet tea. Service was fast and kind. Food was very good . Ribs were fall off the bone and the brisket had just enough fat. Baked beans excellent cole slaw very good as was the hash brown casserole and delicious turnip greens. So glad we stopped . Should of taken pictures before we started eating but it all looked and smelled so good is was hard not to dive in.

Excellent. I asked the receptionist at my doctor where a good bbq place is and she said Howell's BBQ. She was right. Everyone was nice. I think most people call in their orders. Next visit I'll try the ribs.

My wife and I were in El Dorado Arkansas for the southern soul fest and we stopped by Howell's BBQ. The food was great. The Ribs were so good you didn't need any sauce but the sauce was delicious also. Mr Howell and I had a great conversation. My wife, Mrs.Howell and some of the staff did boots on the ground. Mrs. Howell made us some of her homemade banana pudding and it was great. We can't wait until the next visit. Thanks Mr and Mrs Howell for your hospitality.
