Outstanding experience at Tailgaters! I got the Applewood Bacon Cheeseburger and fries to go--it came out quick, hot, and delicious. The place was clean and welcoming inside, the staff was super friendly, and the prices are great. If you're in or passing through Hope, Arkansas, do yourself a favor and check it out! read more

Was not impressed at all with the steak finger basket. Apparently it's brand new just added to their menu, my opinion ,after having it for lunch, I would drop it from the menu. I don't think that I will go back to the restaurant it was that bad read more

The menu provides a good selection. I had the Chicken Wrap with grilled chicken and fried okra. All of it was very greasy. Left puddles in my tray. My wife's bacon sandwich was supposed to be on grilled bread, all they did was warm it. Very disappointed. read more

Burger was good. And there were hand cut fries. My friend got a Reuben and fried okra and said they both were really good. We didn't get milkshakes but they looked amazing. The staff kept checking on us and were friendly. read more

Food was delicious! Staff were awesome! Place was so clean. Will definitely visit again when in town.

The food is consistently great and they offer deserts; always great service, and a very fun, welcoming, & friendly atmosphere with convenient parking! A local gem, a must, I highly recommend! read more

Today I had a horrible experience with Tailgators. I requested the double fry my french fries. Did curbside parking. Paid for order with cash and added a tip. I've suggested time and time again all these fast food restaurants need to wear hairnets. These cashiers and employees hair is too long. I guess that should indicate my issue with the order. I AM SO DISGUSTED I AM NOT EVEN CALLING THEM ABOUT IT. I just threw the entire order away. It has turned me off their food...maybe forever. At least for now... read more

Driving back to Texas from Illinois wanted something better than the regular fast food! Great choice. Burgers were delicious onion strings with a lil bbq to dip with. Chocolate shake! Gonna push us through the next 5.5 hours. Very sweet staff. Cute little burger stop. A lot of extras fried pickles, okra, mozzarella Styx Tots hand cut fries!! My husband wasn't happy going off the beaten path but after eating he said drop a pin! We'll be back. read more

All around great place and Hidden gem! Easy parking, friendly service, and clean. Food is great for the price!

Stopped in while driving to Little Rock and we were very pleased with our lunch! I had the Reuban and my husband had a hamburger. Both were delicious! Definitely worth driving a few minutes off the interstate. The atmosphere was very "home town" local vibe which only added to the pleasant experience. read more

We were driving down Interstate 30, and starving hungry. Not being from the area, we came across this gem of a restaurant! The young woman that answered the phone cheerfully took our order, and said she'd have it ready when we arrived. They offered great service and great burgers/steak fries. Everything was correct with our order, and she gave us ample ketchup and the correct number of utensils. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND to anyone--even the starving travelers! I don't have a single photo because we ate the entire order! read more

The burgers here are awesome! You have a choice of small, medium, or large burgers. Many different burgers to choose from and great sides also. Friendly service and cool atmosphere. read more

This place has very tasty burgers, onion strings, fried okra, and all I can say is that the food was freshly made. The patty was well seasoned. Must try! read more

Tailgater's Burger Company - You can't miss this place! - Burgers Near Me - Hope, Arkansas

Best food we've eaten on our 2,000 mile trip. We had a medium and large burger one with fries the other with a side salad everything was delicious. The place is very clean and welcoming I wish we had one in our neighborhood. Great ambiance, the building was an old hotel for the railroads. There's an old depot right across the street. Did I mention they also have wonderful food too!!! I highly recommend we've add this to our future trips this way and will make it one of our regular stops. One more thing the people working there are wonderful and sweet as can be. read more

Visiting from California. Tailgater's was recommended by a local family member and gotta say, it's awesome!! Very cool set up and wall memorabilia. Clean dining area and restrooms. Food was so tasty and fresh. If you're a pulled pork fan, theirs is fantastic. Had mine with the fried pickles. Yum! Owners are very personable and welcoming. Wish we were here longer so we could dine here again! If I'm ever back in Hope, save me a seat! read more

Great burgers of all types at great prices. Eat in or to go orders, we've had both Ana equally as good.

Service was good hamburgers are nothing to brag about fries are skimping only eat there if don't want to drive to Texarkana

Excellent mom and pop restaurant located in Hope Arkansas. The food and service was awesome

Great burgers and atmosphere. I had the Bacon Cheesebuger and it was great! You get to choose your sides, I picked the Fried Okra it was great. My wife picked the fries, they where hand cut and fresh. Not far off the I-30 and really worth the serendipity. It's across the street from the Visitors center and would be good if you had time to stay longer. I would definitely like to go back again!!! read more

The food portions are large and delicious. The menu has a good variety. Love the decorations. One of my favorites when visiting Hope, AR!

Stopped here for lunch on a long road trip to visit family. The restaurant does have a nice atmosphere with cool decor. When we went to the counter to order, the server did not greet us and seemed to be bothered that we interrupted her by needing to take our order. My husband had a burger that was good but nothing to brag about. The fries were tasty but not as crispy as desired. I had the Mustang Salad that was fresh but very overpriced for the size. It was smaller than a normal entree salad; just slightly bigger than a typical side salad. I was still hungry after finishing it. Better than fast food, but we probably wouldn't go out of our way again to stop here again. read more

Yelp helped again !!! Tailgater's Burger Company is downtown, across from the visitors center. Getting there, you will pass all the regular fast food joints (that you can find anywhere), but keep going ! In a beautiful old building, on a corner, you will find a great place to eat! The lady taking my order at the front counter was really friendly and helpful. This was my first time there, so she was able to answer all my questions. I went with the mushroom Swiss cheeseburger, and boy was it good!! Great tasting hamburger, grilled mushrooms and onions too. They have several sides, and are happy to give you two different (1/2 each) if you like. I went with the tater tots and fried okra. The place was full and people were standing in line to place their order. That's the sign of a place that's doing it right!! When I pass through Hope, Arkansas again, I'll for sure stop by. Go get Full read more

We stopped here on our drive from Texas to Tennessee. The customer service was incredible! They even gave us on the house pup patties which was essentially burgers for our dogs! We each order burgers and the burgers were great! The fries on the other hand were pretty basic and underwhelming which is why 4 stars instead of 3. Very cute and cozy with a hometown feeling. Definitely recommend! read more

Excellent! Cute and food was awesome! Had jalapeño cheeseburgers, fried okra, onion rings and Chicago Dog. Decorated with business signs, motorcycles, bicycles. read more

What a great place! We stopped in Hope for the night as we were heading back to Houston. We'd never been. We knew that it was Bill Clinton's home town, but knew little else. A quick Yelp search yielded Tailgater's - just a short hop from our hotel. It's situated downtown, which looked really cute. It was over 100 degrees, so we didn't stroll around. The former train station (now a visitor's center) was right across the street. When we walked in, we were warmly greeted by the counter staff. This is such an obvious customer service point so often overlooked. The decor was nostalgic and very cool. We made our selections and ordered at the counter. I had a burger and my wife had the Chicago dog. My burger was huge, and fresh and delicious with the right amount of char. The bun was fresh and obviously custom made (not Sysco mass produced). The hand cut fries were great. My wife's hot dog was pretty authentic - not a Vienna beef sausage, but bigger and better with all the correct toppings. At some point, the owner came over to introduce herself...she knew everyone coming in, so she obviously surmised that we were not from Hope. We had a nice conversation, and she then offered to make a burger for our dog! This was promptly delivered, already in a bowl, in little pieces. And she wouldn't take any money for it! (Our pup left a tip for the counter staff above and beyond what we left.) if Yelp had paw ratings, he would offer 5 paws. We completely enjoyed Tailgaters and would consider stopping in Hope again just to dine here! On the way back to our hotel, we drove past the Clinton house, so we can check this off our list! read more

A little off the interstate in the downtown area. This is just the reason to quit going to the chain restaurants and stick to the great stuff. Great service from ordering to even just asking for more ketchup. Great food!! Will be back next time I'm passing thru. read more

What a great surprise! The atmosphere, service and food were terrific. It's well worth the drive into town from the interstate. Prices were very reasonable, too. read more

Heading from Dallas to Little Rock, I wanted to just take a quick little trip before I continued on my way. I wasn't willing to sacrifice quality food for convenience and speed though, so I made a stop here after a quick search. It was a good thing I did. I ordered the Jalapeno burger and if you see my pics, you'll see that it was indeed a Jalapeno burger. They do not skimp on ingredients. Fresh ingredients too, may I add. Everything was very delicious, and service was friendly and prompt. BTW this place is minutes from the museums in case you're interested. read more

Best bacon cheeseburger in AR! Full stop. Basic burgers with a side of fries, chips, tots, or sweet potato fries! The chips are crisp but pkain, fron a bag. The tota are crisp and crunchy - THE BOMB. Get the tots!! Combo includes side & drink, which you fill yourself at fountain dispenser. Adeuate street parking for this small town icon. On this friday night; everyone in town were here to eat and be seen. Nice staff. Interesting eclectic decor is visually appealing. The ONLY negative was the pesky swarm of floes that pestered us througout our meal. Good stuff; like a picnic. read more

Corner store across from the train station makes it easy to find. We needed a stop on our interstate trip for a lunch break. But with a dog, we also needed a place that is dog friendly. They have outdoor seating! It's more like an open part of the building, so it's protected from winds and rain. No menu, so my partner went inside and snapped a pic of the menuboards so I could order. There were so many options! Our food was brought out quickly, which was amazing considering its a pretty busy place. Burgers were great, fries and okra were great too. I'll have to remember this place next time I'm on the road. read more

Great burgers, service, decor and overall atmosphere! I had the Applewood Bacon Cheeseburger, and it was cooked perfectly with obviously very fresh meat. My wife had the Classic Hamburger and had the same experience. Not far from I-30 and close to the Amtrak station, so plenty to see around it once you are done. I would definitely go back again!!! read more

Great food!!! Service is a little slow at lunchtime ....small town business, so a lot of residents eat lunch there. Tailgater's has freshly made burgers, fries and wonderful salads. Drinks are self service. My family from Timpson, Texas and the Little Rock area meet there a couple of times a year for catching up and eating lunch. We stay for a couple of hours and then head back home. Always a treat!!! read more

Such a cute, clean friendly place! The large 1/2lb burger is the way to go! Skip the fries and get the tots, fried green beans and fried onion strings. read more

This place was so good!! Jeff had the jalapeño burger and I had a Nathan's hot dog. The French fries were homemade. The decorations were so cute. The service was excellent!! Great place to go if you're passing by Hope. read more

When we come to hope we like to eat at this burger joint. I've been there several times and haven't had a bad burger yet.

Burgers were good! The location is kind of in the middle of nowhere, but we stopped on our way to Texas. The staff was very friendly.
