The service has always been good and the food spectacular. It can get a little loud when it's slammed, but hey, they are busy for a reason. We went here the other night and I decided to try something different so I got their version of pork chops. It had apple slices on it. Who puts apples on pork chops!? Well, they do and it was great! I thought I would regret not getting the filet, but nope! I'll probably get the same thing next time. My wife has ordered the Mediterranean Chicken twice and loves it. We also ordered the Warm Goat Cheese Caprese (which I failed to take a picture of) and it was fabulous. I highly recommend this place!

I had the opportunity to dine on Super Bowl Sunday at Pop's Smoke Shack. My friend, who lives in…read moreNWA with me, is a huge fan of Pop's and invited my husband and I to go. Pop's had all the brats, hotdogs, wings & chili you could eat for $10 per person. This price also included soda or tea and desserts. I really like this place! The meat was exceptionally good. I am a firm believer that really good smoked meat does not need barbecue. It is ok if you want to put a little barbecue on smoke meat, but the smoked meat should be good enough that it doesn't need it. Pop's wings were incredible. I ate 5-6 and never put one drip of sauce on them! The brats and chili were good too! I can't wait to go back and eat off the regular menu! I also really do want to try their sauces. They had some interesting flavors. What I loved most about Pop's Smoke Shack was the service. This is a family owned business, and they make you feel like you are a part of their family! Super good people! I looked through their menu and their food & drink prices were very reasonable. I can't wait to go back!

The garlic bread is pretty good with the marinara sauce it comes with. The pizza was big and delicious. We got a combination pizza. My toddler loved it too! Our server was so sweet. I didn't catch her name, but she was awesome! I would definitely come back here for lunch or dinner. It's a cute place.

The pizza is amazing. You could tell the ingredients were fresh each time! It's super convenient being able to pull right in to a slip at the restaurant from the lake. The other restaurants we found in our area of the lake were more difficult to get to (walking up a hill or having to shuttle).

The food was prepared and ready for pickup quickly. The service was very friendly. This was the first time I was in the restaurant for pick up, and the restaurant itself was clean and had lots of booth for those wanting to eat in. Much better than many Chinese restaurants! We also had egg rolls and crab rangoon, which were pretty much as expected. Will go again, especially on Friday nights headed to the lake!

Didn't say beer battered but sure tasted great. For the burger the patty was thin enough you could get a double and not be too stuffed. I didn't want to risk it without having eaten here before and then boating for hours! Another patron @ our table got the bacpn wrapped meatloaf but it does not come with gravy for the masked potatoes so dont be surprised by that! Overall pretty good food for the price.

Cheery place that also sells Louisiana items (I bought some Steen's syrup) and homemade candies. For lunch I had the gumbo. The server laughed when I said they could put my potato salad in the bowl & told me I could do that myself. I took it to mean bc she didn't like it that way. That's all right, not everyone does. I did put it in bc, wow, it was the right kind to do that with. We drank Abita's & my husband had a cheeseburger that was good. We shared a good boudin ball, but they were out of the kind stuffed with pepper Jack cheese .
