We are committed to sourcing the highest quality grass-fed beef, southern fried fish, and the freshest produce we can get our hands on. Our Farm-to-Table barbecue is cooked low and slow over locally harvested pecan wood fires and combines tried and true smoking techniques as well as new ideas born from our trendy team. We are open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

  • Great website, okay restaurant. The food is good but is lacking in good stand out flavor. The menu said they have a frosted cold mug and a lime upon request for drafts but they were out of the draft I asked for and out of limes. The service was good but you could tell she was doing the best with what management provided her with. All in all this experience is mediocre compared to Bbq in places like Florida and Texas. It’s all love though!

  • I really enjoy the food here. My favorite is the chopped brisket sandwich, or smoked chicken with brisket dinner. Their spicy fried green beans are my fave side. Mmm, I'm going again tonight!

  • Food was delicious, and the tea wasn't bitter - I didn't even need to add sugar to the unsweetened tea I ordered. But many of the tables had resident flies. It's coming into summer so that might not be a concern if you visit during cold weather.

  • We drove here on the way back from Dallas from Arkansas and ate here. The food was great (bbq brisket and chicken) and the service was great and fast. Recommend!

  • Had the Rib platter. It came with two sides so I got potatoe salad and BBQ beans. I got one mild sauce and one spicy as I wasnt sure which one was better. So the beans were pretty good, but they seemed to follow the theme of sweetness that goes most of the food served here. The potato salad was again good but kind of sweet. The ribs were the best part (as they should be) they were tender and cooked just right. The taste was very good. Some of the best ribs I've had in awhile. My meal came with six ribs and two sides for 12.99, which I thought was a great barging. Especially after tasting the ribs. So if your in Durant America and have a hankering for some BBQ definitely hit this place up.

  • Arriving in town late in the day we went with the first Google review that looked good. That led us to Main Street BBQ. We were not disappointed. We were greeted when we walked in the door and took our seats. The feel inside was as pleasant as the smell that smacked you in the face when you walked through the door. The food was outstanding and the service was great. The local folks seated around us we pleasant as well and offered us suggestions.

  • Main Street is always great, they provide excellent service call a good value, and the food is always great. I have not had to worry about them messing up orders or having a bad experience here. The setup is pretty neat with brick walls, and nice decor. All in all I would highly recommend this place, it's a great local barbecue place that's very consistent and it's always great to support small town places like this that arent those big chain restaurants.

  • Main street barbecue was great!! We got the big pig plate, a sampler of all the variety of meats they have. Was amazing all of it was good I particularly like the smoked Turkey and sliced brisket but all of it was amazing. Quick service! Our waitress was amazing recommending what she liked and helping out with different menu combos. Checked on us a few times, we were too busy eating to answer half the time. I would go every time I'm in Durant.
