Sugar Shack

Heard about the burgers here and had to give it a try…read more I biked over and found the trailer with a little lunch rush line, but it moved quickly. I ordered the burger and fries with a drink. I eat mine plain but they have quite the selection of burgers and fries/ring options. The drinks are in a fridge with normal selection of sodas and teas along with bottled water. The price seemed fair and I was able to use Apple Pay off my phone. I was given a beeper and found a table behind the trailer. I wish there was a little shade over the tables but nonetheless it was a pleasant day so no worries. My pager went off and I got my food freshly made and hot. The fries were good. They had a little batter to them and they were good portion size. The burger, however was a little disappointing. It seemed to be a patty premade almost frozen style. I wish they would make 1/2 pound burgers with fresh meat and hand make the patties but that's not the case. After eating lunch I decided I would not go back until they improve burger quality.

I was in town to deliver training to our local office and one of my colleagues recommended I stop…read moreat The Witching Hour for the best burger in town. "What a bold statement," I thought. So in the interest of evaluating the hype, I ordered some via UberEats and it did not disappoint. First off, thanks to the Uber driver who got the burger and fries to my hotel while the food was still hot and the sodas were still cold. I was able to enjoy the juicy and flavorful King of the Monsters burger in all its 1/2 lb glory! The jalapeños were sautéed in just the right amount so that the heat was still there, but the flavor wasn't overwhelming. What I really loved was the balance of all the ingredients together, resulting in a taste of cream cheese, sautéed jalapeños, crispy onions, hot honey, peppered bacon, and Howdy Sauce in every bite. I also got the Pennywise Fries, which I was skeptical about but wanted to give a shot anyway. I was gobsmacked. Queso on fries can be a challenge to the novice, but the expertly cooked cheese was just the right consistency... not too thick and not too runny. I washed it all down with a couple diet dr. peppers and I went to sleep a happy man. I will DEFINITELY be back next time I'm in town.

Hugo's, much like Herman's Rib House is a Fayetteville tradition. Since the late 70's Hugo's has…read morebeen serving an eclectic American classic menu ( with some European influences). A well established hangout for Hog Fans especially on game day and you may even run into some Razorbacks legends while you are there. Pros: Consistent, quality food at a reasonable price. Great menu selection from crepes to steaks and everything in between. Cons: Hugo's is a basement restaurant location. This means seating is limited and the wait can be long. The stairs leading down to the restaurant can be hard to navigate if you are physically impaired, and depending on the day or time of the it can get quite noisy. If stairs, togetherness and nosiy spaces are not your thing, then this isn't the establishment for you. Overall, you can't go wrong with the food or hospitality, and if you're a Razorback fan, student, or alumni of the University of Arkansas dining here is a right of passage. Highly recommended Hugo's... come be a part of a Fayetteville tradition!

This is a great little burger joint. The first time I ate there, I called them and asked about their hamburger because the flavor was very good. Brandon told me he buys from a local butcher shop. The fries and onion rings are good, too. The service couldn't be better. Very friendly. read more

Do you like a good burger? I'd put them easily in the top 5 in Fayetteville and probably my favorite based on proximity to my house. Do you like a Ribeye? The N.A.T.O Grilled Ribeye is a beast of a sandwich that is worth the price. My wife sticks to one of the fried shrimp sandwiches because they are so good it doesn't make sense for her to change it up. You want a Ribeye but your kids want chicken tenders? They've got you covered. The tender baskets are massive! Burgers? Did I mention those? Got a picky kid that doesn't like cheese? Get the Royale w/ cheese with no cheese and it's the perfect size. Shout out to a shareable shrimp basket, excellent cold subs, a variety of hot subs including a great cheese steak and a riff on a french dip. Go to Mess Hall and go often. This is the kind of great, affordable, and consistent spot an area like east Fayetteville needs.

PATHETIC service and mediocre food…read more When I walked in there were 4 people sitting at the bar. I still had to wait roughly 5 minutes for the bartender to take my drink order and give me a menu. No big deal. It was a little long but nothing egregious. After I'd almost finished my beer, and the bartender still hadn't come back to take a food order, I had to flag her down to order food. Still, no big deal. Not great service, but on par with my previous Sassy's experiences, so nothing to get mad about. I spent the rest of my time at the bar being mostly ignored. I finished my meal, asked for my check, and set my card out waiting to pay. I waited for at least 10 minutes before I finally took my card to the bar tender while she was standing at the cash register. I said, "Can I PLEASE pay my tab." She took great offense to that. She ran my card, threw it down in front of me, and told me I shouldn't "talk to women like that." When I laughed, and I said "what are talking about? I asked to pay my tab." She told me to "get the fuck out." I've been stopping by sassy's for roughly a year. The food is always bland and overpriced, but it's the closest BBQ place to me, so I've made due. With the exception of one single visit in that past year, the service has never been good, but this was the first time it was genuinely, laughably pathetic. Apparently, asking to pay your tab after you've been repeatedly ignored is disrespecting women at the Sassy's bar.

We didn't realize they were closing at 8:00. We were sat, usual procedure. We ordered an appetizer and our food. Enjoyed the fried mushrooms. Our dinner came, it was great. They turned up the lights and the barrage began. It seemed attentive at first, then got really annoying. We're closing the salad bar, do you want anything from it? Can I get you anything else? Can I get you to-go drinks? Are you ready for your ticket? Here's your ticket. Is there anything else? Can I take any of your plates? At that point I'm done. Take all the plates. I'm not enjoying this anymore. As my husband was calmly explaining that if you let us in the door, we should be allowed to eat; I'm fuming and paying the bill and stomping out, because I can't be contained when I'm upset. I just shouldn't talk. When we first walked in the door, if they'd told us that they're closing soon, fine! We will just go somewhere else! No problem. We've both worked in restaurants and hated when guests walk in at closing! The food is good. I'm sick at my stomach about how we were treated. Hubby said we would be back. He might be back alone.
