    Heading east on I-40 and stopped in on Wednesday, July 3rd around 11:45am. Burger came with mustard and mayo. If you don't like mustard speak up when you order. Burger was filling but normal. My dad and son had catfish - it was hot and meaty but again normal. Not a bad meal in East Arkansas. The place is nice looking outside and almost a convenience store inside. And the food came out within 15 minutes.

    So we had to make a run to Hazen today and while we were out we made the trip up to Brinkley. Customer service was great and the price with drinks and tax for two lunches was $26. We had the 2pc fish/5pc shrimp w/2 sides and the cheeseburger plate w/onion rings. Good food. Give it a shot if you pass through at lunch time. Just off exit 216 I believe.

    I was very surprised. Their Cajun cuisine is really good. I had the Gumbo and it was delicious.

    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.

    Who dat say dey gonna eat dem Cajun... foods... in Arkansas? Anyway, yup, a genuine Louisianan chef…read morehas worked his way up to Bald Knob and maintained this wonderful establishment. Let's go through things one by one. * Expect a wait. For being half a mile off the Interstate with no signs, it was packed. At 8 pm on a weekday, I waited 20 minutes as a single attendee. They do their best to clear tables and keep things moving, but this means the locals know this place and love it. And by "locals", the ones across from me lived an hour away and came up two days in a row to get some fresh crawfish before it was gone ("last weekend" was advertised). That tells you something. * Patient and friendly staff. Refilled my car-trip water bottle for me. Brought over a fresh hot sauce because my table was nearly out. Pro tip: ask for Louisiana brand, it's all natural and the name says "I am Cajun." * Fun atmosphere. Open but down-home. It sure doesn't feel corporate, they did a nice job touching it up. The only non-food downside: No wi-fi available. With that, on to the foods: * The gumbos are probably a little overpriced for their size, but I expected that. The chicken sausage gumbo had wonderful dark roux flavor, just a little runnier than I'm used to my gumbo. But I don't eat gumbo often, so this may be the right consistency. * The crawfish etouffée, on the other hand, is a wonderful value. Yes, it's got quite a bit of rice at its base (maybe I shouldn't have gotten two rice-based dishes), but it has quite a bit of crawfish and vegetated sauce on top. Again, very flavorful. * You get a little puffy roll with the gumbo. You get a little puffy roll with crawfish etouffée. Make sure every dish you order comes with at least one, preferably up to infinity, puffy rolls. SO GOOD. I want to go drive back there right now for more but they're closed for the night. * I didn't order the hushpuppies but I noted I was intrigued on someone else's plate, and they magically ended up on mine. (It was, in fact, part of the dish anyway.) Turns out they're rather oily and were a bit overfried. Oh well. * They may or may not have desserts besides bread pudding, but the non-local locals I waited with up front said there's a different bread pudding flavor every day. They magically had a whole loaf of bread pudding in their hands moments later - those are up by the register and disappear quickly. Now, I'm not a bread pudding guy, but if there is ONE flavor that will get me, it's berries. And they offered triple berry bread pudding the night I was there. I was stuffed from dinner, so I brought it home and ate it the next day. Despite still being stuffed, I couldn't wait. If anything, I wanted Even More Berries inside but it's a good sized slice for the price. The loaf is a steal, comparatively, but I knew I couldn't pack one of those away. It was gone when I left, to no surprise. The verdict: A couple of imperfections noted above - the wi-fi, the hushpuppies - but considering the location and the food quality, I'm leaving all my stars and recommendations for travelers in the area I've now heard of.

    My wife and I had the pleasure of dining at Who Dat's this past week, and it was an unforgettable…read moreexperience from start to finish. This place nails the perfect blend of authentic Southern hospitality, mouthwatering food, and a cozy, down-home vibe that makes you feel like family. I ordered the Cajun blackened catfish, and let me tell you--it was perfection on a plate. The seasoning was bold, spicy, and perfectly balanced, with a crispy exterior giving way to tender, flaky fish. My wife went for the ribeye, cooked to a juicy medium-rare, and it was one of the best steaks we've had in years--rich, flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. We shared the stuffed mushrooms as an appetizer, and they were an absolute highlight: plump, savory, and bursting with cheesy, garlicky goodness. Portions? Massive. We left stuffed and happy, with leftovers for the next day. The value here is outstanding. The service was top-notch--our server was friendly, attentive, and full of great recommendations without ever feeling rushed. The restaurant itself has such a fun, welcoming atmosphere: walls covered in taxidermy, quirky photos, and local charm that spark smiles and conversation. It's the kind of place where you linger after your meal just to soak it all in. If you're craving real Cajun flavor, generous helpings, and a true hometown feel, Who Dat's is a five-star winner. We can't wait to go back!

As you walk in there is a check in desk where you pay with the small buffet behind. That leads into not one, not two but 4 separate dining rooms. We went to the buffet and loaded up on coleslaw, corn, onion rings, catfish. And hush puppies. Let me tell you the Cole slaw was some of my favorite I ever tasted. The corn, well it's corn that has been soaked in butter, the hush puppies, again, some of the best I've had. Now the real star, the catfish. This was soooo fresh not a hint of fishiness nor smell. The cornmeal coating gave it the right amount of texture and crunch. They was not one ounce of oil residue left. The onion rings were also good but not worth going back for a second try. The ladies serving were some of the kindest souls. Their website says they are cash only, however one of my students remembers seeing a square app available.

    Country Catfish - While I understand your reasons, good luck with that. It's not illegal. Read the legal code before making assumptions.
