Creative takes on hometown BBQ!
TL:DR
Creative menu, almost all great! Get any of the loaded fries options! (Pro Tip: Tell them you don’t want your burger well done. Otherwise, it will be dry.)
Details:
Came at lunch time on a Tuesday. Not too crowded, and not very noisy. It has much more room inside than I expected.
Counter staff was friendly, and they checked up on us several times during the meal.
The only negative was the burger my friend got – it was very dry, not worth finishing. The positives were many, including an awesome turkey sandwich and some delicious sides.
But the highlight for everyone were the loaded fries. There are many options, and we each got a different one. They were all loaded with delicious meats, cheeses, and sauces. We loved them all.
Didn’t have room for dessert, but the milkshakes sounded delicious! We’ll be back next time we come this direction!

Seriously some of the worst food I’ve ever had in my life. I got the pulled pork street tacos and there were massive chunks of completely black meat that tasted disgusting, and that flavor permeated the rest of the taco. I actually like charred flavor too, I’ll often char my food but this was several stages beyond edible.
The fried pickles tasted like fish, like they were fried in cheap oil that hasn’t been changed for a long time. It also seemed like they were pre-fried because they came out super fast and weren’t oily or hot like you’d expect from freshly fried food. Extremely salty as well. I ate one and that’s all I could stomach.
My husband got a burger which he said was okay, it was edible but not great. The fries also tasted like the same old oil that the pickles were fried in. Everything had a distinct fishy flavor.
Literally couldn’t eat the food which almost never happens, even if food isn’t great I’ll still eat it but this was inedible. Left the food and went to a different spot. $30 down the drain.
Also the girls at the front were not friendly and unhelpful.

Rating is subject to change if I get food at temperature it is supposed to be consumed.
Fries – Can not be cold and soggy
Nacho with cheese – should cheese melt?!
Food taste – 9/10 (Food is flavorful and balanced.)
Service – 0/10 (one employee showed concern to the cold food problem and vowed to correct it, but never did. Others were busy answering phone and catering to the customer in their immediate vicinity. Thus, were not interested in customer satisfaction.
It May not be the best strategy to ask “How is everything” after customer is sharing cold food concern).
This place is a house converted into a restaurant. Do expect crowded situation during peek hours and holidays. So, how can those instructions written on “Notice” placard can be adhered to, is a good question. You be the judge.
Parking can be a potential challenge. They do have limited outdoor seating (good during pandemic times).
They have different hand-written menu which they should post.

Based on my steak dinner tonight and my many experiences here over the years, if you eat here you will be getting the absolute best plate of food available in our small town! Great job Jason and team!

The works fries were perfect. Plenty of meat and toppings. The works burrito was complemented with their jalapeño ranch.
Will definitely be back. The staff seemed nice too.

Everyone here was so nice. Food was excellent. My dad had fish tacos, and I had the brisket sandwich. Both were great. Also tried the crunch cake on the recommendation of the staff. It was delicious, homemade, not overly sweet. I’ll come back anytime I’m in Mena.

Ordered the California burger and let me just say this is one of the best burgers I’ve had since moving to the south! Great food and service in a cute little building. Would have been 5 stars but our fries were limp and cold. :(. Would definitely recommend though and will return one next time I’m in Mena!
