Went here a little reserved as only a few vehicles were in the parking lot. The place was clean and very well decorated for a bbq or smoke house. The menu had lots of options from several meats, some sides, desserts, and much more. After ordering the meal was arranged fast and looked great. I ordered the 6 bone rib dinner with potato salad, beans, and i added coleslaw. The beans and potato salad stood out and were awesome. The coleslaw was average. As far as the ribs they were great, juicy, fall off the bone, smoked ringed, the works!!! The ribs I’d rate a 9.0. Great place to go for sure I will be back.

Husband ordered BBQ Fries to go. We live 30 minutes away. When he brought it in, we were surprised to find nachos instead of fries. Soggy fries i can deal with because it's potatoes. Soggy chips just ruined a meal I didn't ask for in the first place. Get the kitchen line cooks in order to double-check to-go orders before they just start making things. Accidents happen, but if you're in the restaurant you can fix it. If you're 30 miles away, not so much.

I ate at 11:30 today. Beans should not look and taste like it was from the bottom of the barrell. Bread was tough. Fries over cooked and did not seem fresh. Skin on half chicken was very dry, but inside tasted good. The last time I ate here my beans were the same way, but my daughters were good and fresh. Demos used to be my favorite. It had been a little over a year since I ate there
I was really looking forward to eating there and it was my birthday. Due to my last experience, it took me a long time to come back only to be more disappointed.

I went to Demo's Barbecue and Smokehouse on 4/11/2025 to have lunch with my woman. In fact this is my 2nd visit. The food was seasoned, hot, and tasty. The employees were very friendly and courteous. Very quiet restaurant. And you get plenty enough to eat. I recommend this restaurant to anyone in Northeast Arkansas to visit this restaurant located on 4115 E. Johnson in Jonesboro Ar. The prices are within your budget. And they have a large menu. Try Demo's. You'll like it if you want some real BBQ!

Very disappointing experience. The pork BBQ had never been exposed to smoke and was tastless, tough and stringy. I've eaten BBQ in AR, TN, TX, MO and KS and this was the worse excuse for smoked BBQ pork I've ever encountered.

This is the newer location of the two Demo's locations in Jonesboro. I'm not sure what has happened over the years but the quality of the barbecue here has really faltered over the years. The meats seem dried and overcooked, the last time we are here both the pulled pork and ribs seemed to have suffered this fate. The sides aren't too bad and the beans may be the best barbecue beans in town but for other things there are now better barbecue locations in town. It's ok but it would not be my first choice for barbecue anymore.

Self serve. Note fancy.
Good BBW and baked beans.
Eat in or take out
Reasonable prices and generous servings.

When it is TOO HOT to heat up your kitchen, come here and pick up Dinner. It is so good. Everything on the Menu is Delicious. Take your pick. I got extra meat this day. And, the desserts are all so good🙃
