We stumbled on this place on accident.
The aroma of the smoked meat was overwhelming and we had to stop.
Started with a craft beer that was excellent. We each ordered a meat plate. Everything on our plate was perfect. The Carolina hot mustard was great, the ghost pepper barbecue was fantastic.
We will come back for more.
So good! Great brisque, pork and sides! Friendly staff! Thank you for the best food I've had so far on my 3 week road trip to the south! Great sauce too!
Better than average BBQ joint. Very casual atmosphere. The brisket had good flavor. Sides were fair. The chocolate fry pie was tasty although at almost $6, not a great deal.
Great BBQ place. There have 2 locations. I have never tried the other one, but have been to this one more than once. I was told “this” was the location to go to for the best experience. Although the sliced brisket was a bit drier than I like, it was still good, and everything else was as well. What you see on the plate is Battered fries, baked beans, Mac n cheese, brisket, pulled pork, and a large rib. Toast of course as well. It’s an old school set up with phones at the tables, although they do have wait staff. They also have very good (I assume home made) large cookies. These are well worth taking home if your BBQ filled you up. Outdoor patio is a nice place to eat on a decent day as well.
1/2 lb cheeseburger was cooked perfectly! Onion rings are coated with tempura batter, large and not greasy. The 2 meat dinner (brisket and pulled pork) was spot on! Perfect, tender and generous portions. If you're a fried okra person, you'll love them at Penguin Ed's B&B. Cream Ale is refreshing and smooth. Effective, friendly service. Relaxing and chilled atmosphere, with great blues playing, is what you'd want in a BBQ joint! If you're looking for yummy, filling food, Ed's is your place!
My parents absolutely adore Penguin Ed's. I do really love it and have grown up eating it many times. The meat is always cooked really well and their BBQ sauces are excellent. I do think their portions on mac and cheese are really leaving a lot to be desired, especially since it's so tasty. Their ocra, french fries, and onion rings at this location are just incredibly oily and difficult to stomach. I understand though that their typical client loves oil and those things, but I would consider not getting two of those as your sides and instead just getting one if your stomach can handle the amount of oil.
Awesome little BBQ place....Accommodated our daughter who's has a gluten allergy wonderfully! Super friendly staff definitely will be a regular spot for us when we visit Arkansas!! Also missed the southern style BBQ sauce!! Yum!! ...also the wife LOVED the fried pie...
Delicious southern comfort food, great spot for lunch, and the servers are friendly. Best fried pickles I’ve ever eaten. Knocked down one star because of the bathroom situation. There is only a single bathroom for both men and women…yikes!
