    CASH ONLY (NO CARDS)
    Tom T.

    CASH ONLY CASH ONLY No going inside. Walk up and drive through only. Very small parking lot. I ordered a jumbo cheese burger and onion rings. I'm not a light eater but also not a heavy eater I tell you this to tell you this the jumbo is basically a regular size but the meat is thin so I wish I had ordered a double, but good flavor and burger. The onion rings where also good. I will try more things later. I added a pic of the menu.

    Only does cash, join the 21st century, very mediocre food and ice cream. I guess that's what you get in Malvern, AR

    Mamoo's Creamery is serving up some seriously delicious ice cream for the people of Hot Springs! It…read morewas so good, I had to go back and take a photo with the owner. The owner and his partner make all the ice cream themselves, it's the real deal. I had a scoop of the strawberry on a waffle cone (also made on site), and couldn't hold a conversation until I was done inhaling the entire scoop. It was so delicious, with a great rich texture and amazing flavor. My friend had vanilla and said the same. Mamoo is changing the ice cream game for this town! They've got roughly 18(?) flavors to choose from, and really you can't go wrong. The owner is so nice, and happy to help you narrow down choices so that you get the perfect scoop. The shop is located slightly below street level. It's a little hard to find because you have to go through a small lobby first, then another set of doors to the right. But trust me, it's well worth the search. Definitely the best ice cream in town!

    Hard to find as didn't realize it's under the Arlington hotel…read more The mocha one was best. Real good coffee flavor. The banana pudding was good. The biscof butter was too much and threw it away. The lemon was good and tart like an icebox. The dreamsicle was not close enough to real thing. Waffle cone was good but fragile. Still nice to grab a cone and walk up to lobby to listen to music.

    Was exploring the SoMa district in Little Rock and hit a dessert craving at exactly the right…read moremoment because stumbling into Loblolly was a full-on find. The space is adorable, the staff was super helpful and the whole vibe just feels homey & intentional in the best way. But they really had me the second I saw ice cream flight on the menu. Like... what?! Anyways, there was zero chance I was picking just one flavor so I went with the 6-flavor flight (they also offer a 12-flavor option!) Here's what I got: Strawberry Buttermilk- a little tangy w/ the perfect amount of sweet Honey Lavender- light floral without going full soap Bourbon Pecan- loved this one! rich, creamy, perfect Churro Cheesecake- obsessed with the pieces of cheesecake in this one! Guava Sorbet - y'all. MY FAVORITE. Refreshing guava heaven Tiramisu- a coffee-forward mocha-ey vibe Every flavor was distinct and crafted with care . Def not your typical grocery store flavors. If you're in Little Rock, especially near SoMa, do not walk past this place. Stop in & get the flight!

    I recently tried two varieties of Loblolly's delicious ice creams in downtown West Memphis, AR at…read morethe Groovy Greyhound Coffee & Creamery. The seasonal eggnog ice cream was so delicious that I took home a pint of the bourbon pecan (also scrumptious). I'm quite pleased that I can regularly sample this purveyor's treats far afield in eastern Arkansas!
