  • When will I ever learn that putting tarter sauce with your favorite fish plate probably will prevent your happiness at the dating polls? Sorry about that guys it's just the kid in me. But maybe theirs hope for me come Thanksgiving when my favorite dessert is pecan pie?

  • 5/5 Stars - Main Street Barbecue Main Street Barbecue solidifies its position as the premier BBQ destination in town, consistently delivering outstanding cuisine and exceptional service. The BBQ brisket sandwich is a masterclass in texture and flavor, tender and smoky, making it my go-to order. The BBQ sauce is a perfect complement, never disappointing with its rich, depthful flavor. The meat is remarkably tender and smoky, boasting the best flavor and texture I've experienced. The staff demonstrates impeccable attention to detail, ensuring seamless dining experiences. Main Street Barbecue earns its top rating through unwavering dedication to quality and customer satisfaction.

  • Greeted and seated promptly. The server, Austin J., was friendly and efficient. He checked backed several times during the meal and offered “to go” refills on our drinks. Hubby started with a bowl of chili. It was good but seemed to be missing something. I thought the chili flavor could be more robust (not more heat). He thought it might need some cheese and or sour cream as an accompaniment. His main entree was fried catfish with Mac & cheese and green beans. The catfish was coated with seasoned cornmeal and fried. Hubby said the texture was a bit mushy and seemed undercooked; however, the flavor was good. The Mac & cheese was homemade and hit the comfort food spot; green beans were just ok. I had the Bacon Ranch Crispy Chicken salad. I subbed the crispy chicken with smoked chicken breast. The chicken was moist and flavorful. It was a large salad of mixed dark leafy greens, tomatoes, cucumbers, cheddar cheese and real Hickory smoked bacon. The only recommendation would be to use homemade buttermilk ranch dressing instead of bottled. Overall, if we come this way again, we would definitely stop here.

  • Good small town diner vibes, friendly service, good BBQ. Spicy BBQ sauce was on point. Brisket was a little dry but still cleared my plate. Definitely recommend if you like southern BBQ

  • Good, solid barbecue. Had the ribs, smoked sausage, mac and cheese and spicy fried green beans. The latter and all the sides are really outstanding. The ribs are St. Louis style, and the sauces they have are really yummy, especially the smokey. The brisket was the only disappointing part. We got it sliced and it was a bit dry. The service is attentive and friendly, the place is homey and welcoming.

  • On a recent trip to Durant I took the opportunity to eat at Main Street BBQ and it was excellent. I had the sliced brisket, potato salad and BBQ beans. Everything was great. The meat was very tender and had a nice smokey flavor. I tried the hot sauce and it also was very good. It was a tad hot but not bad. The wait staff was very nice and friendly. I will return on my next Durant trip. The only issue will be what to order next time

  • Impressive modern choices with delicious smoked meats! We had the Ultimate Pork Nachos for an appetizer and it could have been a meal by itself. The waffle fries were freshly homemade and topped with pinto beans, queso cheese, generous serving of pulled pork, and sour cream. Then I had the This Little Piggy Sausage platter with pineapple, jalapeno cheddar, hot link, and classic sausages! All the sausages were delicious but the highlight was the pineapple which had so much flavor! My wife had the Brisket Mac and Cheese. She enjoyed that greatly! My mom had the Barbeque plate with sliced beef. The variety and flavor combos of this plate including squash, zucchini, cauliflower, and pinto beans were incredible! Looking forward to coming back to Durant to try more wonderful food!

  • Ordered sliced beef and chicken breast to go with hot and fire sauces to go. They were excellent. The macaroni and mashed potatoes and brown gravy are good as well. I recommend this place to any BBQ fans.
