    The day I wanted something simple I had the best club sandwich at Bendi's Diner

    Homestyle local place! Great service- large servings! First place I've ever been to that served frog legs- so I had to try!!

    used to be a laundromat, but now good eats!

    Great food and great service. Fried catfish was excellent. The waitress was the sweetest.read more

    As a northerner stepping into a Southern-style spot, I have to agree with another Yelp reviewer…read moreabout the sweet tea. It's not that true Southern sweet tea you hear legends about -- the kind that practically hugs your soul and spikes your dentist's anxiety -- but honestly, it's not bad at all if you're trying to watch your sugar. Consider it "Midwest sweet." Polite. Respectable. Not trying to put you into a sugar coma. Now let's talk food. My kiddos ordered the popcorn chicken and mini dogs -- and as any parent knows, the highest culinary honor is the empty plate. They ate every last bite. From my 5-year-old, that's basically a Michelin star review. My husband had the BBQ burger. When asked for a detailed description, I received his usual top-tier food critique vocabulary: "It was good." I ordered the BBQ bacon chicken with tots. The tater tots deserve their own moment -- perfectly crisp, not oily, and seasoned just right. The chicken itself leaned a little on the dry side, but the BBQ sauce definitely stepped in and saved the day. Overall? I'd definitely stop here again -- especially over chain restaurant which seem to be the only other commonly options in the next town over. This place feels like the better pick when you want something satisfying without the big-chain blah.

    Stopped by for lunch on the way home from Hot Springs. This is only the second time we've had a…read morechance to stop, and like the first time, the food and service were excellent. You have to try the potato babies appetizer. It's $5.50 as I post this and you get A LOT of potato wedges. The server brought 2 cups of ranch because there were two of us there. That's a very subtle and very nice touch to customer service. The food was excellent of courses, as were the desserts. T had the first scoop of banana pudding for the day and I had the chocolate fries pie with ice cream. I'm only a little upset we didn't purchase one of the brownies or a slice of pecan pie they had sitting on the bar. Both looked really, really good.

We got the 3 meat 2 side meal : catfish, ribs and fried shrimp 2 sides fries and potato salad. Catfish was delicious with the fresh squeezed lemon I love to add The ribs no flavor, dry, was disappointed My husband didn't complain or brag about the shrimp Potato salad, man I was so disappointed. Definitely a taste I've never experienced, especially in potato salad The fries were delicious We decided to stop again for more catfish on our way headed back home after the wedding. 2nd time experience we got the deluxe catfish and doubled the fries Only complaint was they were out of lemons. Bar tender wasn't friendly or welcoming.
