    On a road trip and pulled into town saw good reviews and they met expectations. Smelled awesome, slab of ribs tasted great. Also got pound of meat and chicken. Everything was very good. I'm from Arizona and like everything spicy. This wasn't as bold as I'm used to but the smokey flavor was very good. I recommend if you're passing through. Also they were all super friendly. Good people!

    Had a great lunch of catfish, okra and cabbage. Cooked fresh after you order and brought out piping hot. Friendly service and reasonable prices.

    Best of Blytheville and Mississippi County: not only for barbecue, but also catfish! Certainly the most affordable BBQ/fried catfish place around. Well worth the wait while they fry it up fresh! Rib tips the most popular dish but don’t miss out on the fish (pass on the coleslaw: too wet and sloppy). Closes early.

    Ordered the catfish, fried ocra, and mac n cheese and it was awesome! Really want to try their BBQ before I leave town. Give them a try if you're going through town.

    A local gem, family-run for 80 years according to a local. Went twice with a group, and the only thing we'd skip in the future is the brisket. Chopped pork sandwich is unlike any I've had (chunky, not pulled, and with coleslaw plus spicy sauce). Several sides are Southern staples with a twist, e.g., fried corn, spicy stewed cabbage, or Old Bay fries. Great, down-to-Earth spot.

    Today was my first day eating here. The wait was too long.The beans tasted like pork n beans with ground meat in it. The ribs were decent.

    WOW!! I love bbq , and am somewhat picky on my bbq . However , on our way to Missouri, my family and I stopped in Blytheville for lunch and decided to eat at Yanks. This is without a doubt one of the best (if not the absolute best ) bbq sandwiches I have ever eaten. Definitely recommend this place !

    So, what happened to Yank's? Here's my truth: I ordered a chopped barbecue sandwich with fries. My fries were old and cold and very thin! And my sandwich tasted old too. I wanted my money back but didn't want to make a scene. The size of the to-go containers shrunk about 30%. That cuts back on the food, you know. I want the old Yank's back. I don't even see the older, kind gentleman that used to sit outside. That sweet man was Yank's to me. And, what happened to service with a smile? I need answers. UPDATE: They changed the fries! They are no longer thin. Great improvement! Changed my food score from 1 to 3.

    Food was pretty good, I've had better. They were out of brisket, got rib tips and ribs. Some of the tips were tough, the ribs were not fall of the bone but tasted okay with the BBQ sauce. Did not like the baked beans or corn it was soggy.

  • 5/5 Allyson J. 1 year ago on Google
    The people feel like family. Every dish is great. I visit Yank's anytime I'm in town. I highly recommend it. The spicy barbecue sauce works on all the meat choices.

  • 4/5 Alan W. 7 months ago on Google
    Pretty decent food. Support your local businesses. The pork had a unfamiliar smoke to it. Maybe mesquite and cherry? But it was good. Lots of crispy bark in there.

  • 4/5 Ruth B. 1 year ago on Google
    Had the chicken. It was seasoned well, tender and moist...delicious! Ps the ribs were good too!

  • 5/5 Marcos U. S. 1 year ago on Google
    Their ribs are the best in town along with their true American burgers. True staple in town. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Blytheville.

  • 5/5 BigBrothaBo 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice and clean in appearance. Very nice staff members. They welcomed me and smiled at me the whole time. The food was off the charts. I got a double cheeseburger with fries it really filled me up

  • 5/5 SHERILYN R. 1 year ago on Google
    Yanks is by far the best BBQ joint and fish place for your eating pleasure. Rib tips, pig salad, fish plates, and ribs are my favorite

    Best bbq in the Blytheville area I haven't had anything bad from here I eat here 4 to 8 times a month always busy so expect to wait but they do an amazing job at getting your food to u quick as possible

  • 5/5 Pat Tasker, Germantown Real Estate A. 1 year ago on Google
    Well, it didn’t look like what I expected, but the food lived up to the reviews! Set in an old gas station in town, you order at the window and wait around on basic tables and chairs. It’s a busy place with people coming and going to pick up orders, so we knew the food would be good! And it was. I ordered the “fried corn” thinking it would be fried but it seemed like cooked kernel corn with lots of hot sauce!

  • 1/5 Micheal G. 1 year ago on Google
    They tried the best to fool me with old bbq. My Mac n Cheese was old as well. If you can't sale fresh bbq then you shouldn't sale at all. Ridiculous!

  • 4/5 Jennifer R. 1 year ago on Google
    The chopped barbecue sandwich is delicious (I got hot with coleslaw). The rib tips were also very good. The fries and Mac & cheese were ok. It is not fast food but definitely worth the wait.
