I recently visited Corky’s for the first time in a while. I ordered the lunch special which included 6 wings and a side of fries, while my wife had the pulled pork sandwich with a side of potato salad. The service was excellent – we were seated promptly and the wait staff were efficient in taking our orders and serving our food. The meals were served hot and fresh, and my wing meal included three drumsticks and three flats. Overall, it’s a great spot for lunch in West Little Rock.

Before Covid, Corky’s was our favorite place to eat, baby back ribs, corn on the cob, fried okra, all excellent!! Then, things began going downhill as it did with many restaurants. They no longer had baby back ribs, the quality of food has just not been consistent. We couldn’t even get a hamburger cooked consistently from one time to another. We even had a young manager argue with us on one visit to the Little Rock location that they had never served baby back ribs when we had eaten them there for years. We recently have tried Corky’s again once a week for three weeks now and the first two weeks it was great but yesterday, the quality of the ribs was just bad, greasy and gristly. It will probably be quite a while before we try Corky’s again and I’m really disappointed about that.

My wife and I had decided to have Corey’s sense it had been a long time. As we were walking through the entrance door we saw this very young homeless girl talking the the manager, Courtney or something like that was the manager’s name. We heard the young girl tell her that she was “cold and very hungry” and that she has “not been able to eat anything all day”. We could hear the stress, anxiety, and sadness in her voice. My wife almost started to cry, but when we heard the manager’s response. It turned into pure rage. The manager informed this young girl that “under no circumstances would i or Corey’s ever give any food to someone homeless”. That is probably the worst thing i’ve heard all week. I had no idea that corkey’s don’t help the homeless at all. And Furthermore would hire somebody as heartless as that. Needless to say, my wife and I turned around and went McDonald’s, and after what I heard it tasted way better than Corey’s ever could after that experience. The only reason it got one star it because negative stars is not an option. My advice to you is use your money to support a different company. We should all be boycott corkie’s

Stood at the “please wait to be seated sign” while a server was propped up on a stool having a conversation with a table
We get seated. Our server was Bobby. The greeting was nice but that was it.
We order our food. Ordered the 3 fingers with fries off the lunch menu for $10.99. Got charged the full price. He had putting in the order. The server that helped is a long time employee so not sure why it was rung in wrong.
Food got delivered by a young lady who you could tell didn’t care.
We never saw our server again. Ran out of drinks. No refills. No ranch for the chicken.
He was on his phone. Guess he had more important things to do.
We had to flag him down to pay. Never asked about refills or Togo drinks.
A couple of people at the bar sat there while the servers just passed them by. They finally got served.
If they had been busy I could’ve understood but they weren’t.
Overall bad experience.

Terrible service and even worse food. Ordered a pulled pork sandwich without cole slaw and it still had cole slaw on it. The sandwich was also cold. When I got home to reheat it there was only bbq sauce on the top and the rest was just dry meat. I called and spoke to the manager Nate to ask if it was a mistake and he rudely told me “it depends on who you get at the drive thru … there’s no standard to how they make the sandwiches. They also left my husband’s burger pink on the inside.
They told me I could speak with the owner the next day but when I called continued to give me the run around. Eat anywhere but here.

Decent place to eat. Fair prices for a BBQ establishment. We had to wait in a fairly empty restaurant to be seated and they seemed a bit understaffed. However, to be completely fair, we went on a Thursday evening at dinner time. The service was amazing once seated but food was adequate and nothing was really all that impressive.

For starters, my wife ordered the fried pickles and they brought us a basket of rolls. The rolls, while a bit doughy and greasy, were actually quite tasty. The pickles were fine. Not my cup of tea but the family seemed to enjoy them.

My wife’s ribs were nice and tender but lacked any major smoky flavor. She seemed to enjoy them but was not impressed by her small sides and even less impressed with the quality of her mac n cheese.

My meat sampler was stacked but, again, the meat itself was just adequate. I didn’t really feel like I was eating at a 4.2 star rated BBQ joint as none of the BBQ was very smoky or flavorful. It was just kind of average, if that makes sense. I personally did not enjoy the brisket as it was VERY heavily pepper rubbed to the point I couldn’t even taste the brisket. The pork was fine, again. More smoke, please. I do want to praise the sausage, though, as it was excellent. As for my sides, they were fine. The fried okra was nice and crunchy but the green beans had a metallic canned taste to them that I did not enjoy.

My oldest ordered the baked potato which he said was fine, albeit a bit more cheesy than we normally get on BBQ baked taters. He had no issue gobbling up his leftovers so take that for what you will.

My youngest ordered the turkey wrap but wasn’t impressed by the vegetables. They were either heated with the wrap or left out at room temperature so she wasn’t able to enjoy the wrap until the next day. Her fries were excellent. Very flavorful and crispy.

All-in-all a reasonable experience. Had the meat lived up to the hype and the brisket actually tasted like something other than black pepper I would rate 4 stars. Unfortunately, based on this experience, Corky’s falls just a bit short of that mark for me. I wouldn’t spend $110 there again but I would definitely stop in again for a pork sandwich or some of those delicious sausages.

I travel all over the world. When I’m stateside I like to try BBQ from different cities. Corky’s BBQ is by far the worst BBQ I have tasted in my life. Even the sides were bad. Everything was completely
flavorless including the BBQ sauce and hot sauce. The best thing served to me was the iced tea. The service was mediocre at best. I don’t say these words lightly as I am a BBQ snob but this food was horrible….EVERYTHING! The food looks delicious but looks are deceiving

Stopped in with a large party after church on 5/19/24. I had chicken salad and onion rings. Salad was fantastic and onion rings, out of this world! My wife’s BBQ spud was awesome as well!
