0 reviews“Backyard-style Arkansas smoke near West Memphis”
Stumpy's Backyard BBQ is a small, well-reviewed pit in Marion, just north of West Memphis, and it cooks exactly the way its name promises. This is backyard-style smoke with a personal touch, a Crittenden County operation where the fire and the flavor feel like a neighbor's cookout rather than a restaurant line. The menu keeps the focus squarely on the smoke: ribs pulled tender straight from the backyard-style pit, pulled pork built for sandwiches and plates, and smoked wings that lean on real hickory rather than a fryer shortcut. Rotating weekend specials give regulars a reason to check back. The setup is casual by design, stripping away everything but the meat and the fire. For anyone on the Arkansas side of the river, it is a genuine find hiding in plain sight north of the interstate, and word travels fast.

A tiny, highly rated Crittenden County pit that cooks like a neighbor's backyard cookout. The tender ribs, pulled pork, and weekend specials keep the focus squarely on the smoke.
