  • Just had lunch here and were very pleased with the delicious food and tremendous service. Our server Britta M was personable, friendly, and very thoughtful! Thank so much for a wonderful dining experience Main Street BBQ! The peach cobbler was delicious!

  • 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

  • The best BBQ in the area. Love the smoked meats and sides. Staff are friendly, service is quick and always large portions.

  • I had the Beast Wich (sliced brisket, ham, sausage, fried green beans on toast). It was so good. The BBQ sauces were good. I mixed the sweet & mild to get the taste I wanted. Fried green beans were spicy. I want to go back now.

  • Called in a next-day catering order for my work crew of (15) & thankfully they were able to accommodate. I arrived a few minutes early to pick up and everything was perfectly fresh, even waiting 1 more minute for the last dish to finish. The staff helped bring the order to my car and were polite & professional. There was enough for everyone to have two plates as well as a to-go container. Well worth the price for that alone. Regardless of value, the food was delicious. Everyone loved the corn fritters, seasonal veg, and especially the smoked sausage. Other meats and sides were also delicious. The restaurant itself seemed well kept with great customer service. I was eyeing some of the orders on tables and will definitely be back to try.

  • Okay... I had brisket and some ribs from you guys this week and WOW... those were the best dang ribs I’ve ever put in my mouth! I am pretty picky about ribs and Main St BBQ, in my honest opinion, has the best! They don’t even need any sauce!!! The brisket was fantastic too, and oooooohhhh the beans...wonderful! I can’t recommend this place enough!

  • my boyfriend and I came here while we were driving through. Everything was so good, we got a 3 meat plate with Ribs, chopped brisket, and jalapeño cheddar smoked sausage. For our sides we got the spicy fried green beans, and fried okra. The ribs were BOMB, they were probably the best we’ve ever had. They were about an inch thick, and super juicy, we didn’t even feel the need for bbq sauce on them. The sausage and brisket were just as good! The fried spicy green beans were so good!! The ribs were so good we had to get some to go!

  • 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!

  • We visited this place on a recommendation from the front desk clerk at the Best Western we're staying at up the street. We were beyond impressed by the friendliness of the staff, the taste of the food and the portion sizes. The ribs were fall of the bone tender, the catfish was delicious. My husband got a baked potato and corn on the cob as his sides. We expected a small potato and a small chunk of corn. Nope... large baked potato the size of the plate and a full ear of corn. Macaroni and cheese is clearly homemade and delicious and while the fried pickle spears are a little floppy, they have the perfect amount of crunch and tart. Perhaps the only disappointment if you want to call it that is that the sweet tea isn't as sweet as we're used to. Would definitely recommend and if we were going to be in town longer, we would be planning to eat here again.
