Brisket grilled cheese was pretty flavorless and greasy.  The seasoned fries were very tasty!

We had dinner at The Angry Possum this evening. The building and the decor are so cool...the food not so much. They're known for their special grilled cheese sandwiches, so my husband ordered a brisket grilled cheese. I ordered a pastrami Swiss grilled cheese, but the waitress came back over to tell me they were out of pastrami. She recommended the salami and gouda, so I ordered that. You know it! She came back to tell me they were out of salami too. I ended up ordering the brisket grilled cheese. We finally got our food and were pretty disappointed because the brisket had no flavor, and the bread was very greasy. At least the fries were tasty. Our waitress was very attentive, however I watched another waitress use her vape pen several times as she walked back to the kitchen to pick up food.

Cheeseburger and fries that are seasoned, very thick, like steak fries, crispy. and delish.  Miles better than any fast food burger.

We stopped for lunch while on the road. Great staff, great food. Would stop again. Wish they would have had more t-shirts available.

Our first ever visit to Conway and we definitely picked the right spot to enjoy dinner! Don't let…read morethe simple name of the place fool you, Mike's Place isn't nearly as casual as it sounds!! The atmosphere is casual, the food is not, it's very upscale, fancy and delicious! We started with a couple Manhattan's and the Parmesan Zucchini Fries. Having a cocktail in a dry county is special but those crispy, tender strips of zucchini were even more special, like no other fried zucchini I've ever had! The house salads arrived shortly after the appetizer and they were loaded with goodies for being the lagniappe (Cajun word used for side dish). Entree's arrived just as we finished our salads, perfect timing, and were perfect! I had the ultimate shrimp platter so I could try three of the shrimp and all three were delicious. Hubby's steak was cooked perfect temp and the blackened seasoning was nice and spicy. Service from Russel was top notch, he was super attentive and very kind. We'll become regulars for sure as we'll be in the area for awhile. Can't wait to try the crab cake and so many other things on the expansive menu.

The place is still nice, and the ambiance and service was great, yet it seems something has changed…read morewith the food. They were advertising the jalapeño salmon dip and chips appetizer. One of my favorites at many restaurants, so I was sold! It was...just okay. I could get specific with each dish we ordered, but it would be a lengthy post. Let's just say I thought of one of Hell's Kitchen episodes where everything was purchased frozen, warmed and served. That's what our food tasted like, and it was extremely disappointing to say the least. The Fish PoBoy & the Shrimp Brantley... shocker these did not taste good like they used to. I have bragged & bragged about this place, but unfortunately we won't go back.

Simply, quintessentially, The Very Best In Every…read moreCategory.... It's very difficult to locate a restaurant that hits perfectly on the taste buds.....on the eyes....& On the wallet ....all at the same time. But yet...here in our little Ozark community @ Greers Ferry Lake.......Exists just that PRIZE. EVERYONE involved in this Remarkedly Impressive RESTAURANT works Very hard to make all the above come true each & every day....

I had heard about Jansen's from a friend and now four months later I finally got there for lunch…read more The food was excellent. The service was great, but the atmosphere was not the best. It was extremely noisy and that is something I didn't expect. People were carrying on so loud and the music was fairly loud also. We couldn't even hear our waitress and we had to ask her several times to repeat what she said because we simply couldn't hear her. I couldn't even talk to my wife during lunch over the noise. When we walked in, a young lady, told us to sit at one of the round tables along the window. When we got there and sat down another waitress came along and told us that this table was reserved for large parties and we needed to move to a regular table, a smaller table. I didn't really mind moving, but we had just done what the lady told us to do. It really was more the second waitress's attitude, and the way she spoke to us that was irritating and completely unnecessary as no large groups ever came and sat at the larger tables. We have every intention of trying Jensen's again in the evening. Hopefully the noise level will be less severe with the evening crowd. The food is definitely worth the trip. It is excellent. At least what we had was and everything on the menu looks good. They have an unbelievably wide variety of desserts, and the pies that my wife and I had were excellent.

I was passing thru Newport this past week a couple times and was hoping to find something special…read morefor ya, but due to meetings both days I was passing thru, everything would be closed by the time I got into town. I passed PB&J's Cafe the first time thru and thought, I bet that place is a gem. Not sure why, I just had a suspicion it was gonna be worth a future trip. On day 2 I was running behind again and was gonna arrive 10 min before they closed. I refuse to do that to a place, but I just had to try it out. So I did the courteous thing & called ahead that way I could just grab it to go. Ran in and paid and picked up my bag of food. Nice, clean, little joint. Looked like brand new tables and chairs and nice decor. Got out to the vehicle after pick up and just could not wait to see if this was gonna be as good as my suspicions had gotten my hopes up to be. This picture doesn't do it justice, but here it is! I always test a burger joint out by ordering the DBCB on my first visit. This puts em all on an equal playing field to make something simple into something special. Plain & simple....we have a new member of my Arkansas Top 10 and my NEA Top 5! It is exactly what a burger should be! Hand patted thick patties, juicy, and tasty. Hit em up! They had the sweetest ladies in there just working their tails off. Treat em like you wanted to be treated, and TIP EM WELL! They close at 2pm each day, so if you are gonna be late like me, call ahead. They get there very early each day to serve it up for their community, so don't make em stay late.

From the moment you walk in, the service is next-level; the staff treats you like you're part of the family, remembering your usual order and always greeting you with a genuine smile. The food is just as outstanding as the hospitality: classic Southern cooking done right, with every plate hitting the table hot, fresh, and full of flavor. Nothing fancy, just consistently excellent comfort food that never disappoints. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and the food comes out lightning-fast even when they're packed. If you're in Newport and craving real Southern goodness with service that makes you feel at home, PB&J's is the place. Can't recommend it enough!

Decent line for Saturday lunch, which got worked through quickly with text notifications…read more Sat down and had our appetizer and drinks within 2 minutes. Cheese dip is fantastic. Has a wonderful smoky flavor. It took a bit to get our food - like I said, they were slammed, so it wasn't egregious. The Philly Cheesesteak was amazing. I really liked it. The fries are my favorite of what I assume are Sysco options. Crisp with the flaky seasoning. My wife enjoyed her roast beef on Pita with Feta cheese. She pointed out that they'd put the cheese in between the layers of beef, which was a nice touch. All in all really nice food and service. Nice homey atmosphere. 5 stars!

Kendall, Jordan & Clint -- Incredible Service!…read more We had an absolutely amazing experience at Stoby's! Kendall and Jordan were incredibly polite, welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited to help us. We left with some incredible food and great suggestions, but what stood out most was the service. That kind of personality simply cannot be taught. You can teach someone a menu, but you can't teach genuine warmth, kindness, enthusiasm, and the ability to make people feel truly welcome. These are the kinds of employees you recognize, appreciate, and pay top dollar to keep! Clint, the manager, was equally incredible--kind, attentive, and made sure we were treated like absolute gold. As a veteran family, that kindness and appreciation meant so much to us. Stoby's should be extremely proud of this team. Kendall, Jordan, and Clint didn't just serve us a meal--they gave us an experience that will absolutely bring us back. Five stars all the way!
