  • This was the best food I’ve eaten in Durant. It’s amazing. Atmosphere is fun, decor is simple & a bit rustic, staff is friendly. I went in with a group of people and we where attended to quickly. Staff had every order perfect. The food portions are HUGE so if your a light eater I suggest the kids portion. You will not be disappointed. The smoked turkey was delicious. The brisket amazing and the vegetables were yummy!! Location is easy to find. Parking may be tricky when they are busy but it’s be worth the wait

  • 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!

  • My husband and I ate there for the first time today and we found our new favorite spot! We had a pulled pork sandwich and it was literally the best we ever had! Great looking on the inside, friendly staff. The food was served to us very quickly! Definitely will be coming back!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • The smoked meats are absolutely great! I think the St Louis Ribs are the best of all. I love their special hot sauce. Also, the person who waited our table was excellent too.

  • Great place! We had a large party and they handled it with ease. Our server was great and didn't miss anything we asked for (even the extras were delivered). The pulled pork was moist and delicious without the BBQ sauce. They even do breakfast and have a drive thru!

  • 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.

  • 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!
