Monticello's Favorite Smokehouse

Real Smoke.
Real Slow.
Real Good.

At Young's Bar-B-Q on Highway 278, we don't rush the process. Low and slow over real wood fire — that's how you get bark that cracks, meat that pulls apart, and flavor that earns its place on your table.

Built on Patience,
Served with Pride

Young's Bar-B-Q isn't about shortcuts. It never has been. We fire up the pit every morning and let the wood do the work — hickory and oak, low and slow, until the meat is tender enough to fall apart at a touch.

Located right off Highway 278 in the heart of Monticello, we've become the spot where neighbors come for a satisfying plate, where families gather on weekends, and where visitors discover what Arkansas barbecue is really about.

Our sauces, slaws, and sides are prepared in-house daily. Nothing canned, nothing frozen — just real ingredients done the right way.

Young's is more than a restaurant — it's a gathering place. Families, friends, and travelers all find a seat at our table in downtown Monticello.

Best barbecue in the area, hands down. The brisket is perfectly smoky and the sides are outstanding. We make the drive every time we're in town.

This is what real BBQ tastes like. Not rushed, not fussy — just good meat, real smoke, and a whole lot of care. My family eats here whenever we can.

Stopped by on a road trip and ended up coming back the next day. The ribs were incredible and the service made us feel right at home.
