On the road to LIT this is the perfect send off to the airport for a full belly. Dan's I-30 Diner…read moreis conveniently off Interstate 30 in Benton, AR. This diner definitely feels like someone's grandmas house. The staff is welcoming and you sit wherever you want. The coffee is hot and the food comes out fast. I got the Eighteen Wheeler, the pancakes were fluffy, airy texture and larger than life! Bacon thick and delicious, with cute circle hash browns from heaven all golden brown and crispy.

If you want an all-beef burger that reminds you Of the backyard burgers from a decade or more ago,…read moreThen this is your place. 100%, all beef, thick, fresh, hand patted patty with fresh, crisp toppings and none of that added soy filler crap like the majority of burgers are these days. It's hard to tell from the pics and usually single patty burgers are so thin but I'm glad I ordered the single patty option instead of the double one because the patty was thick and was what one would make at home for a cookout. Plenty of burger for me. The fries are hand cut in store from potatoes on demand. No frozen premade burgers or fries. Read an article about this place being run by the man who used to run it when it was a back yard burger. Apparently he's a long time Benton native and his dad opened the Wendy's that is on military then they went with BYB and now he's running the BYB as Moodys. So don't sleep on this place. I like knowing I am Supporting small business and can stand behind the fresher, more natural food options too. I didn't take a pic of the chicken sandwich my teen got but she said it was better than most she's tried. Actual real chicken breast meat not the breaded processed fake chicken patty a lot of places offer.

Pros: 1. Overall, this is a great place to shop. It is a little expensive but a good shopping…read moreplace. 2. It is clean. A little cluttered but always clean. 3. They have the cutest baby chickens every year. 4. You can bring your dog in here. or your horse. or your chicken. or whatever. I have brought my baby goats in Tractor Supply (in Little Rock) and no one cares. I bring my dog in here. He's a bloodhound mix. People say he's as big as a horse but he got shown up when a lady brought her horse in here. No lies. I don't do drugs. Nor do I drink. A lady walked an actual horse in Tractor Supply in Benton. I've seen them tied up or walked up outside but never in the store until this time. I don't mean My Little Pony either. This horse was full size....and she walked it right in the store. The best part of it was no one seemed to care. Cons: 1. Lately, their animal feed has gone up. Their excuse is covid but somehow Walmart has managed to make their prices for animal feed go up only around 30 cents per bag instead of $3 per bag like Tractor Supply has done. Cracked corn used to be under $9 per bag. Now, it's $11.99 per bag. It's 50 lbs. Walmart has the same cracked corn in 40 lbs. for $7.38 per bag. It has only gone up 30 cents per bag since covid hit at Walmart and there is something wrong with cracked corn going up $3 per bag at Tractor Supply. Even the laying pellets have gone up $1 per bag while Walmart has them at the same price as before covid. Therefore, I do not buy anything but chick starter, dog food, and cat food here anymore. 2. Before coranavirus, I was here weekly most of the time. Because of coronavirus and the fact that I don't want it, I've been using the curb side pick up (which is way faster than Walmart). I've used it multiple times. Each time I call and give my name and order number if asked. The last time that I called, I told the person on the phone my name. He couldn't find it so I told him that I had all the bags of concrete and one bag of feed. A different person--the manager--delivers my order to my car. He's the fluffy bald guy. He makes me dig out my driver's license. I told him that I've never had to do this. He told me that it was good to hear that and he would make sure to coach his employees. . If I drive up, call you, and give you my name, order number, and what's in my order plus I have it pulled up on my phone to show you, there's a 99.999999999999% chance that I'm picking up my own order. It would be more believable for someone to drive up with a stolen driver's license than it would be for someone to be in the parking lot and call and know the order number, name, and everything in the order plus have the order pulled up on their phone to show you. Walmart never does this to me. They see my phone with my order number and they know it's me. Never do I dig forever for my driver's license at Walmart and get exposed to covid at the window. I don't even show it. This guy needs to lighten up because his employees are way nicer than him and he's making this way harder than it should be. 3. The store has a new manager. The short fluffy bald guy is gone. He was a great manager despite what I wrote above about him. He kept it clean. It was organized. He would mark the open bags of food down to $5 per bag which was a good deal. The new manager (a short dark haired younger lady) was working when I found some open bags of feed. I asked her how much they were. She said full price. I told her they were open with feed missing. She said she would sell them to me discounted this time only because this store is losing too much money on busted bags of feed. Every other time that I have gone in there since then, the open bags are sitting next to the regular feed. I asked how much they were and I was told regular price. They are all taped up. If it's the last bag of cracked corn and I need it and half the bag is missing, I shouldn't have to pay full price for it. I refused to buy it and went to Farmer's instead. I noticed a few weeks later no one else was buying the open bags for full price either because they began marking them down to 10% off and 20% off. That's a great idea except half the bag might be missing. Why should I pay 90% of the price for 50% of the bag. This lady really needs to get it together. The old manager who was the heavyset bald guy had the right idea.

This store is closest to me than your big chain stores, Petco and Petsmart. I have tried calling the store for 2 days to ask if they have the items in stock, which always show in stock, then arrive at store, and none are available or in stock. Back to calling numerous times the last 2 days and say for almost 7-10 minutes just to see if they will answer. I have yet to speak to a store employee!!! this store has gone downhill the last few years!! we spend a LOT of money on feed, supplies, and our personal dog food, and items for our trailers and miscellaneous items. I have currently switched over to Farmers Association because they can keep their inventory in stock and answer the phone!!! I never go thru that checkout line, it's usually backed up 4-5 people deep! if you need hay, good luck! They call an employee that is supposed to meet you outside and wait and have to walk back in and spend almost 30-40 minutes for a simple pick up. I've had to walk to the back and swing the swinging door open to see 2 employees just screwing around when I can't find a single back of sweet feed, and see an entire pallet not put on the floor! I had to ask to have them please give me 2 bags from the pallet. Tractor Supply in Benton...time to step up!! I've seen so many different managers, rotating staff. FIX Your Problems in this store!!

Stopped in for lunch the other day and had the macaroni and cheese topped with chopped brisket and asked them to put the sauce on the side because most places just drown their meat in sauce and you can't even taste the beef. There's usually reason they don't want you to taste it. But Tim is VERY talented on that smoker! He was wonderful and honored my request without batting an eye (some chefs get offended). The staff and Tim both chatted with me in between customers and there was a good clip of folks in and out picking up food and raving about it as was I. The sauce is homemade and a family recipe and of course he's serving his grandma's macaroni and cheese, which is different from how I make mine, but it was still really delicious. The best part are the prices - so reasonable I t's not even funny, and I left absolutely stuffed to the brim. Be sure and try their fried pies too, I got a cherry pie to go and it was yummy! I'll drive all the way from Diamondhead on the regular anytime I want brisket because it was just that good. I would've taken photos, but I am held my lunch before I thought to do so. Sounds like a good excuse to go back to Tim's Tavern ;-)

We were meant to experience TT BBQ. Let me just share that this was an experience. We walk in and there are diner style dinner tables with 2 families filling up many spaces, a date night couple and a lone diner. There is a small bar with stools and a special spot for "Mr Murray". (Reminded me of Norm from CHEERS. Mr Murray was not there) I loved that the TV's were off... otherwise I don't think it would have happened the way it did. The server was welcoming and friendly just like a family member you hadn't seen in a while. She answered our questions and was hustling between taking out HOT food to patrons and giving us the scoop on the menu. (Only server there and she kept up with all of us)! We decided on Beef Brisket and Jalapeño Cheese Sausage with 2 sides. Excellent choices, brisket was lean and tender, jalapeño sausage did not disappoint. Bbq sauce was tangy. Our sides were simple and flavorful. We were so hungry, we forgot to take a photo before we dove in. We were talking with the staff and other guests enjoying their meal. One suggested the Banana pudding for dessert and they were correct, it was soooo good. (Later learned it was made by our server, Sarah. Heart Emoji. It felt like grandma's kitchen and the family was gathered and sharing a meal. No strangers. Several take out orders came and went. Tim opened this place 2 years ago to bring good BBQ to the smaller local scene of Benton. (Plus downtown Little Rock is no longer a desirable destination). It may be off the beaten path but so worth the extra couple miles. Had a nostalgic moment when I saw the Horse Ride. OMGoodness so fun, how many times I would beg my daddy to let me ride one of those anytime I saw one. Now I am too big, but loved the memory. There is a great big outdoor patio covered over have where they have live music and events. The look out on over green grass lawn and forest is beautiful. This place is a "Hole in the wall" type but excellent in all areas. Service 5-Stars Food 5-Stars We stayed much longer due to great conversations with the other guests and family feeling.
