I got the Big Ugly Fries with chopped beef. It was wonderful. I live in Texarkana and whenever I'm in Ashdown I stop by. It's that good

Big Gilley’s delivers with Big Flavor! Found this dive on our way to Broken Bow and am so glad we made the diversion. Everything from the pulled pork sandwich, smoked ribs, smoked queso or hand cut fries are wonderful.

The loaded brisket baked potatoes are good!! My only suggestion would be to put butter on them before all the fixings. Very bummed we didn't get to try the twinkies as they call them. Service was top notch.

Through Facebook I couldn't wait to try this place! The food looked amazing on their site posts! It was months before getting the chance to go but we drove over 30 minutes. At first glance the outside doesn't look like a popular place but trust and enter! We were the only customers so service was nice and convenient. The stuffed twinkies (poppers) where I'm from were delicious! Dirty fries were the best and the mac n brisket burrito was OK. Worth the drive!
