Cheese Fries Surprise
Nicolas M.

I'm in between a Regular and a Visitor when it comes to being in AR but when it comes to catching a bite at the Flying Saucer, I will make it a mission to be here. No matter what person that takes care of my table, it's amicable and prompt. My go to as always will be a grilled cheese and tomato bisque, the bacon is crispy and the bread is buttery. Tomato Bisque as usual has the texture and taste you look for when you make the divine combination as this. Super happy as always to be here and I'm glad being at The Flying Saucer is a part of it.

Great selection of local and out of state beer
Matthew N.

Best beer on tap in Little Rock! The beer options are almost unlimited, which is good because you need somewhere to hide out between 12 - 4 pm each day during summer. Another plus: if you drink at least 200 beers, you get your name on a saucer on the ceiling! Every 200 beers, you get a new color. Better get to dranking! Beer: 5/5. So many local and international beers on tap and in bottles. Fairly priced too. You can also get a flight to sample 4 beers. Ambiance: 5/5. One of the more original beer spots in Ark. besides the saucers with unique phrases and names, the ceiling and wall have a nice gold tint to make you feel Alittle luxurious. Service: 4/5. Efficient and standard. They were a bit crowded, but we didn't get many return trips by the server after she dropped off our beer. Value: 4/5. You can find cheaper prices by a $1-2 per beer at other local bars, but the ambiance and selection are worth paying for!

Food and beer were delicious like always. Service was great like always. Ambiance was perfect like always. That's why my family and I come here every time we visit Little Rock.

Gone excellent

Our waitress was Christy. Service was great. The food was all so good. The pizza amazing.

Rueben with fries
Marc T.

In town for work and stopped for happy hour. Very large beer selection with at least 50 drafts and another 100+ cans and bottles. Many unique and local selections. Definitely worth the stop if you a beer person. Had a rueben sandwich with fries. Decent sandwich but nothing to get excited over. Fries were crispy, so they were definitely a hit. Overall good experience with friendly staff, TV's playing sports, and a good crowd.

Restaurant decor

Fun ambiance and good variety for Tuesday trivia. Cocktails were popping off - a little pricey, but the food was reasonable. Don't snooze on the saucer pies -- got mine with brat, mushroom, and chicken and it was absolute fire. Dripping with flavor. Pass on the chips and cheese dip though because it was a little lukewarm and dripped everywhere with such paper-thin chips. But the pizza redeemed it and I'd totally come here again.

We ordered the chips and nacho appetizer. It was just ok. It didn't taste like much of anything except the avocado dip. The dip was pretty good, the salsa and the queso was watered down but the chips were pretty good. This is not a place I have to visit again. We decided not to order anything else. Our waitress (Jordan) was personable and nice.

Stopped here for some drinks and food after the marathon. The server was working her butt off and was efficient. The beer was amazing. The food was good. You won't be disappointed.

Reviews are mixed. Many highlight the large beer selection, unique ambiance, and friendly service. The lively atmosphere is a draw, especially on trivia nights.

Dugan's Pub - Fish n Chips, very good!

Dugan's Pub quickly became one of our favorite stops in downtown Little Rock. We were looking for a…read moreplace with good food and a relaxed atmosphere, and it delivered on both. The first thing that caught my attention was the authentic Irish pub feel. The dark wood, stained-glass accents, cozy fireplace, and traditional décor create a welcoming space that makes you want to settle in and stay awhile. We happened to visit while Team USA was playing in the FIFA World Cup, and the pub was packed with fans cheering throughout the match. The energy in the room made the experience even more memorable. I ordered the hand-battered chicken tenders and fries, and they were excellent--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. My brother ordered the fish and chips and kept saying they reminded him of the fish and chips he had while traveling in Ireland. We also shared an order of bangers and mash, which was rich, hearty, and exactly what you'd expect from a classic Irish pub. Whether you're stopping in to watch a match, enjoy a meal, or simply experience one of Little Rock's most inviting pubs, Dugan's Pub is well worth a visit. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Little Rock.

Generally I don't like doing poor reviews, but I do want to alert readers to things that might…read moredisrupt their experiences. While the menu at this Irish Pub looks appetizing, the Irish Stew was underwhelming. This is definitely a place to come and have some drinks (or judging by most of the patrons we saw that night we stopped in, LOTS of drinks). The place also had a much more rustic feel than most Irish pubs, so now you know.

Our conversation was about living close to each other and hanging out as well playing in bands. Maybe he was having a hard night, maybe I said something that annoyed him (not sure how). I'm curious to know why I was being asked to leave so rudely while everyone else could stay. No matter, never going back. Might contact owner and file a complaint. Dive bar indeed

I ordered the dirty bird chicken wings, and a bacon cheeseburger with fries. We had the first food that came out. Wings were cold and did not have much sauce on them. Ordered more sauce cost me a dollar for a little cup. We asked about the wings and they said they are smoked now so I'm guessing they sit back there under a heat lamp. Probably the reason they were very dry and I had to order more sauce. I was hoping that when I dipped it in the ranch it would help but none of the ranch stuck on my wing. I've seen water that was thicker. Was looking forward to the old bacon cheeseburger, the Pump used to serve. This cheeseburger is nothing like the old one. The size of the patty is what you get at a little league baseball game. It was also overcook and dry and cold. Wondering if that was under a heat lamp also. They do not have Bud Light or Coors light! PBR's are five dollars! Pitcher of beer is $25! No beer buckets! Looks like a dive bar doesn't taste or drink like one!!!! So I spent $28 and tipped 20%. So I ended up spending just under $35. I can go to the Faded Rose or Brave New for that amount.

Monday of this week, I stopped in here with some out of town guests for a quick bite during the…read morenoon hour. I had the gumbo and it was excellent! Because of the great experience I had at lunch, I decided to take my wife there on Thursday night for dinner. Let me be clear: Dinner was a hit! I will start with the Atmosphere. I will be honest, the atmosphere is nice enough. The place is clean for sure. It is not as comfortable a place as some and is reminiscent of many restaurants I have been to. By that I mean, it is almost formulaic in it's set up. Nothing about it is unique or screams Arkansas or Little Rock to me. That is OK, I just want to be clear about the ambiance of the place. I still would give it a four out of five stars on ambiance. That said, it only gets better from here! For starters, we shared the fried green tomatoes with shrimp appetizer, and it was superb! As good as any you will find in NOLA and definitely the best in Arkansas. I highly recommend. For our main courses, my wife had the bacon wrapped filet and I had the rib-eye. We had never tried Samantha's steaks before and I hate to think what all we have been missing because our steaks were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. We shared a side of cheese grits and couldn't had a better meal! For our dessert, we shared a slice of their key lime pie, and again, it was wonderful. A strong five star rating for the food here at Samantha's for sure. As good as the food was, our server Taylor was about the best I have seen in Little Rock since the days of Ashley's at the Capitol hotel. Every dish we ordered that I just described was a recommendation from Taylor. I love it when someone knows their stuff and she was super knowledgeable, with just the right amount of tending to us. Not too much looking over our shoulder every two minutes, but always there when we needed her. Samantha's is lucky to have her on their team. Another strong five star rating regarding service. Can't wait to go back. I feel like they are hitting their stride at Samantha's!

I ordered a fried green tomatoes appetizer and Tom Yum grilled shrimp entree w/ a cucumber onion salad side. The app presentation was as expected garnished and dressed with roumalade. The finished quality was sub par. The tomatoes edges were good but the center was so thick it was crunchy, 4 slices $16. The entrées are solo yet there is an expectation of an elegant presentation. Nope...two undressed, ungarnished skewers of dry shrimp on a plate for $19. That's it, that's all. The best item of the meal was the marinated 2 ingredient "salad" which was... sweet & savory $12. Lastly, what ended up being a "concept" of key lime pie. Presentation glorious, a dinner sized plate decorated with swirls and a decent size helping of a sweet item. This was what looked like an inch of cake crumbs that were recycled by pressing into a form with a 1/4 inch thin layer of key lime custard over top. $9
