What a great place! Our lunch was delicious and the people are super nice. I ordered the rib plate with Cole slaw and green beans. The ribs are perfection - lots of flavor and very moist which is my preferred style. Dad got the Tamale Spread, and it's great, with lots of meat and cheese. The half order is plenty, but it's only a few dollars more for a whole order, which is huge. The interior is roomy and comfortable. You are going to love your meal! Highly recommended! read more

Down Home Catering - Tamale Spread is delicious! Excuse the loose rib bone! - Caterers Near Me - Benton, Arkansas

See all

Reviews are on spot. Hot springs is much much better. Been there, ate there, not returning

We ordered the chicken fried chicken plate lunch. It was delicious! Better than that was the hostess (owner?) and service. First class!

I have been to the one in Hot springs. The ribs are always great. And the portions are generous.

This place doesn't know how to make bad food....the only time it's bad is when they're not open! Good home cooked classic dishes, which is hard to find these days. read more

Since I live close, I wanted to support a local business. I ordered two BBQ brisket plates. The brisket was horrible. It was 50% or more of fat and not much lean meat. Normally, brisket is sliced thin. It was very thick. I basically threw away $40 of food that wasn't edible. The sides was okay. I most likely won't be back. read more

I went last week for the hamburger steak patty it was horrible Mac and cheese was great but the mashed potatoes tasted like water !

After hearing Tori on the radio a lot, I heard it was Fried Chicken Day! Grabbed a friend, and although we got there late, after 1:15 the chicken was very good, smashed sweet potatoes and blackeyed peas excellent as sides, and of course... corn bread. Will definitely be going back. Might also have to try some of her catering. read more

Finding this restaurant open took some doing. It's open for lunch with the same daily scheduled specials every week and the menu doesn't change. It's open for dinner only on Fridays. The protein on the menu is pretty good. Chicken fried chicken, which I thought was a redundancy, means it is topped with gravy. On the other hand the lunch special fried chicken served on Wednesday only, is a fried chicken breast, no gravy that was really crisp outside and juicy inside.The side dishes are dreadful. Frozen fried okra, frozen French fries, green beans that tasted of the can they came from, and macaroni with cheese stirred in while it was hot. It took us three tries to decide we wouldn't be going back. Should have stopped the first time. read more

Can I say chicken and dressing or catfish Friday! Oh my make your way down Stagecoach close to Otter Creek for some great food! They also have a happy hour of Fridays and breakfast on Saturday... They cater too! read more

Finally had a chance to try this place and I will definitely be back for more. I'm not sure how things were run for the less positive reviewers in previous months but service was great when I stopped in for lunch today. Granted, I ordered takeout but I was still greeted with a smile and served promptly. I had the chicken fried chicken (delicious!) and went with mashed potatoes/gravy and mac & cheese for my 2 sides. The bread roll that came with the meal was fresh and soft. Out of all the sides on the menu I don't think you can go wrong with the mashed potatoes with your chicken fried chicken. It's a winning combo. Next time I may go with fried okra instead of mac & cheese (which was good, but I want to see how their fried sides hold up in comparison). Downhome seems to be steadily growing in popularity and I hope they consider extending their hours to serve dinner on other evenings than just Friday. They're also in a pretty good position at the moment since there's no other 'home cooking' style sit-down restaurants on Stagecoach Road (unless maybe if you're counting the Food Giant deli booths in a loose sense, LOL). Plenty of options for pizza, Chinese, Mexican, and burgers, but Downhome has gotten my attention now when it comes to comfort food. read more

Visiting Little Rock and went here thinking grandpas catfish was still open. At first we were reluctant to try the new place but we were pleasantly surprised! Amazing food, great staff, and wonderful prices!!! Very happy with our visit! read more

Had lunch there Saturday for the first time. Have used their catering service in the past and it is great. Food was great and the service was as good as it gets. Be hard to find better Southern Cooking anywhere, may make your grandma jealous. read more

I used DownHome Catering for my wedding reception brunch, and Tori and Toni were wonderful. They were very easy to work with, very professional, offered competitive prices, and served a delicious and beautiful meal to our 200 guests. With special requests such as gluten free and vegetarian options, the team handled everything we threw at them. Super accommodating when we wanted to use other vendors for different items of the menu, and stated they would be willing to bring in and serve any portion of the food, even if all we needed from them was the eggs! They are an experienced catering team and will treat your event with the time and due diligence it deserves. They provided serving dishes and utensils, ice, and drink dispensers. read more

Their lunch menu is exactly what you'd want from a southern food place -- tons of sides! The chicken fried chicken is delicious, as is their carrot cake! This is the best place for comfort food. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Great food with fantastic service. Will definitely come back.......Still think the bear needs a pair of boxer shorts though......

Average, country cooking. Wait staff friendly and efficient. Food okay but nothing special.

Not a fan! Husband and I went for breakfast...it was not good at all! How can you screw up breakfast. Silverware and plates looked like they were straight of the local jail. Server was very unfriendly and we stood in the entry way for over fives minutes before we were even acknowledged and it's not because they were busy...they were all just talking to each other! We were just get ready to leave and they seated us...wished we would have left. I must add I have friends that absolutely love this place! Just not my fav! read more

Love the location - plenty of parking and lots of tables inside. I've been twice and have been thoroughly pleased both times. The food is made fresh and is not bland. The breakfast of waffles and bacon piled high on the plate was absolutely wonderful. The maple syrup for topping was the perfect compliment. At lunch time I had a great chicken fried chicken plate with gravy on the side. Next time I will have it smothered in that gravy - I could eat it with a spoon! The okra is even made fresh and not some pre-breaded junk from a plastic bag. Overall it's now on my short list of favorite restaurants. read more

I can honestly say I've never tried anything other than the catfish on Friday and I am quite happy with it. My co-workers and I order every lunch every Friday. The staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice. Fridays at lunchtime are the absolute busiest, good luck finding a parking spot.. They are that busy. read more
