A must visit for my trips home! HUGE toasted french bread sandwiches dressed with fresh lettuce and tangy tomato - and probably 3/4 a pound of thickly sliced brisket. We are big eaters and split one for two of us. Complimenting the feast is are a huge portion of crispy HOT hand cut french fries. But what makes this place shine is the containers of hot peppery GRAVY served with each order. Dip your fries in it and you are in heaven. The enormous condiment station includes white onion slices, pickles, peppers, BBQ sauces and the all important lemon wedges! The banana pudding is over the top GOOD with just the right amount of vanilla wafers. Have also tried the BBQ ribs, BBQ chicken, beans, slaw and Texas Toast. Amazingly good and plates are about $7.00. GREAT people watching! Families, military and police groups, families, church groups and college guys hunkered down on their plates. Clean as a whistle with abundant parking and self serve drinks. Would recommend as a favorite over anything in Texas or Las Vegas. I am almost certain that Thursday night is BBQ'd rib eyes and they also do a booming business on Fried Fish.

We arrived at Danken's around 7 pm after a long day of driving. We had a party of 15, Including a two year old, and 2 six year olds. Everybody working there was super friendly to go along with their good food. VERY helpful when we went through the line. The people that say they aren't friendly must be Yankees because us Southerners understood other friendly people. Even that late they had everything we ordered. Keep up the good work, Danken's.

Danken Trail has it's on and off days. I usually order the ribs with corn on the cob and Mac n cheese. The ribs are usually good but sometimes you'll end up with some with barely any meat and a little burnt. The Mac n cheese is always cheesy and delicious along with the corn. They have this great bbq sauce they add to their meats which is awesome. My mom is addicted to their catfish and fries which I'm not a fan of. It is however very popular around the city. It's a nice place to eat most of the time with reasonable prices .

So I'm not a native, but I came here with my mom and grandma, who both grew up in Monroe, so I really relied on their judgement for food. And I mean, honestly, good BBQ is good BBQ, it doesn't matter where you are. I was a little scared to try this place because of the rating, but we were hungry, and I was determined to not eat at a chain restaurant while down in the country. Not happening. So we stopped here. Why does this place only have 2.5 stars? I was really surprised...the food was SO good! Granted, the service isn't exactly friendly. It's a cafeteria-style kinda place...you tell the guy what you want, he puts it on your plate and you slide on down while they add your sides. Nobody cares about your feelings; they just want to serve you good food. And they do! So as long as nobody is blatantly disrespecting me, I could also care less if they don't smile when they ask me what I want. Just gimme my food! My mom and I had ribs and chicken, granny had the brisket, and everything was gone in a matter of minutes. Best real BBQ I've had in a really long time...and granny said so to, so it must be true. lol

Great BBQ! Nice smoky taste in meat. Brisket was a little dry, but sauce was slightly hot. Sides are excellent...slaw good taste, BBQ beans were creamy and have a smoky taste too. Peach cobbler was tasty too. Texas toast has a sweet flavor and sweet tea was just that...sweet!

Horrible, absolutely horrible, the ribs were tasteless, the beans an macaroni, were stone cold, service was crap. Screw this place.

I am orginally from this area, and this it the BBQ by which all others are judged. I grew up eating Danken Trail and I love it. It has been a staple in Monroe and has been in various buildings all in the same area of the Parish of Ouachita. Lets get the bad out of the way. The service here can ruin an otherwise good meal. The staff is among some of the snottiest that you will ever encounter. That is the reason for one less star. Since the food is good and they have the market cornered Monroe, they dont try as hard as they should. Sometimes the portions are a bit skimpy. Now, the good. The food. mmmm its the stuff that dreams are made of. I dont know what they do that makes it taste the way it does, but it developes as you eat it. The beans have chunks of meat in it and I hate baked beans, but I love these. The brisket is so good, the sausage is good, the sides are good. overall, it is just plain good. If you get a chance to go that way, try this restaurant and Podnuh's and join the debate that has been raging for years about who has the best BBQ in the area!

Excellent BBQ all around! Amazing brisket,chicken, and side fixings -beans and mac & cheese!! The beans were some of the most tasty I have ever had. The friendly staff along with one of the owners really added to the evening's dinner! Not sure why it is so lowly rated, this placevis great and will recommend to any Geocachers passing thru!

I would rate these folks 5 stars, but they do have their down moments. First off, if you are driving from afar for a certain item for mid to late evening, call first. Like some restaurants they allot certain poundage volume to the entree meats, and can run out on you. Some staff members can be bland for PR, but you have to understand southern demeanor; I won't go into the psychology there, but chat with them or play along for just a few seconds and you'll get it. This goes for any state and any subcultural area. A smile from both sides of the counter goes a long way enough said on this. Best beans in the country. Their home style and battered fries are superior to any anywhere; you have to ask them to fry some up and wait though. All BBQ products here are super, cooked just right, and the sauce is great too. Give it a try is all the counsel I can conclude with. You won't regret it! Happy travels!

I always get the "Trail Special" when I go. It's a chopped beef BBQ sandwich with 2 sides (the baked beans and loaded mashed potatoes are on point). The food is always delicious and it only ends up costing $6.50 or $7 if you don't get a drink.
