Reviews
i like this place. the owner is super chill. dope art work, the games, the large outdoor space. they have huge TVs if you want to watch games. i like the drinks and the bartenders are super chill. they have a good happy hour and lunch specials, only thing that would make this place 5 stars is having vegetarian options besides fries, but their fries are the best...fried cauliflower, hummus, veggie brat or veggie burger, something.
Saw the ratings on Yelp so decided to stop in on our way to the hotel from the airport. The guy that took our order was very friendly and knowledgeable, though very soft spoken for a big man. Ordered the catfish platter and was not disappointed. Super hot and very tasty. A bit surprised by the Franks on the side, but with the tarter it was very good. Daughter had the grilled cheeseburger. It was charred to a crisp, a well done beef lovers dream, which was not our intent. There were no juices left, and the only reason this place doesn't get 5 stars.
This place was nestled back in East Little Rock. I've never been to this part of town. I think a lot of locals like it. I think this place concentrates more on its bar existence rather than restaurant. That's ok be cause I'm going to review it as bar food. I give it a 4-star because it has good bar feel to try some local beers and such. We had the catfish and chicken salad lunch baskets. The fish and chicken was good but the fries were severely over seasoned. Still ok for bar food. Give it a try. Next time we are going for chicken tenders and something else. Lunch with a soft drink will put you back about $30 for 2 people.
Such a cool place. They have outdoor seating with bags and darts. We had appetizers and burgers and they were delicious. Bartenders very friendly and they make a great jalapeño margarita. You do have to order at the counter and pick up your own food and drinks, so if you are wanting wait services, pass on this place.
Joe greeted us out of towners. We ate outside with our 4 legged family. He turned on the Patio heaters and the TV on the patio graciously. Our meal of a chicken sandwich, chicken wings, and burgers were all cooked to order. Definitely would return next time I'm in Little Rock
