For two steak sandwiches that is well past the appropriate amount of time. They gave us a piece of cake on the house which was appreciated. Then when it came to the food, again not impressed. The steak was stringy and way too fatty. The fries were generic frozen fries. Not worth the price or the time.

When we arrived it was late and instead of glaring at us for coming in near closing time, we were greeted with kindness. We asked what their favorite was and we ordered it. Had the Foul Mouth sandwich combo and cheddar biscuits with some chicken nuggets. The chicken was absolutely delicious with a spiced crust perfectly fried. The chicken was moist and when we added the sauces, we lost our mind. The biscuits are amazing too, but with the honey butter they were divine. If you are a food critic or just a casual diner the cook was perfect and the flavor on point. The staff were phenomenal and deserve praise too. Thank you Little Rock! Arkansas, we love your people!

I took my 96-year-old mom here for the first time on St Patrick's Day 2026. I wasn't sure what to…read moreexpect because I'd driven by the place numerous times and it always struck me as a fast food place (which I don't do), but the "& BEER" always made me pause since crappy fast food places only serve children's drinks. So for St Patrick's Day, I was looking for place with inexpensive food, inexpensive beer, and FREE parking. This Waldo's met all three requirements. We went there with no expectations and we were not disappointed!! My mom ordered the rotisserie chicken sandwich and ate the whole thing which she rarely ever does with any sandwich anymore so it must have been good! I ordered the small chicken nachos, thinking I'd get served a tiny plate of food, and the SMALL was so large, I ended up taking half home with me! This will be dinner as well as lunch, especially after I smoke some St Patrick's Day green. ;) The beer was decently priced too, because they basically have happy hour all day. The only drink that was full price was the draft cider, but I can forgive them for that since they say that all draft beers are half price and technically, cider isn't a beer. Waldo's has a choice of three types of service: drive through/pick up service which is perfect for people under 21 and tee-totalers; counter service where you can still order alcohol but you have to do all the work and pay as you go; and full service at the bar where someone else does the work for you for a tip like a regular restaurant. Best thing at the end of the meal was NO STICKER SHOCK!! I estimated $35 (pre-tax&tip), and the actual bill was $35.57 (with tax). I always think I'm lucky if I estimate within $2 of the actual bill, so I can't beat that!! I will definitely eat and drink here again, and I recommend it to everyone!

After trying to catch them open a couple of times previously, the stars finally aligned and I got…read moreto try Smashed & Stacked today. They are in the middle of transitioning from their food truck roots to a permanent brick-and-mortar location. While the space is still actively under construction, the hustle here is real. The fact that this small crew of friends is slinging fresh food takeout-style while simultaneously building out their future restaurant is impressive. I grabbed their lunch special, and coming in at just $11.06 after tax, it might just be the best value lunch in town. Finding a fresh burger, hand-cut fries, and a drink for $11 in today's economy is practically unheard of. From ordering to walkout took only about 20 minutes, which is remarkably quick given the setup and the dedication going into every order. Now for the food: The Original Burger (with Swiss substituted for cheddar): Absolute home run. The patty is infused with actual chunks of bacon, every bite was hot, juicy, and packed with flavor. Freshly cooked on the flat-top, it hit the mark on just about every level. The Fries: Near perfection. Seasoned generously with seasoned salt, you get a great mix of super crispy edges with just enough softer bites to keep the texture interesting. Even with drywall dust in the air and a temporary takeout-only setup, they did almost everything right. Smashed & Stacked easily earns a strong 4 stars today, and once this brick-and-mortar is fully finished and fired up, the rest of the hamburger scene in Little Rock better watch out. Skip the corporate chains and come support these guys!

The sign reads "Fresh Buffalo & Catfish" though, before now, I believed Buffalo to be a sauce. But Jasper Lee has introduced me to the meaty ribs of the Buffalo fish. The Buffalo fish has big, thick bones that are sliced similarly to cow's ribs to give the fish ribs effect. The perfect fish for a pescatarian bbq! As first timers, we both ordered small platters of the Buffalo ribs. Each platter comes with fries, onion, lemon, white bread, and your fresh fish of choice. The ordering process was quick and painless. Just head right up to the window. And though everything is cooked to order, waiting didn't take long either. When the food arrived, we paid through cash app and began to dig in right there in the parking lot. I thoroughly enjoyed holding up my rib bone of fish. The Buffalo fish has a nice mild flavor like many other white fishes. It kind of gave me whiting-and-mahi mahi-had-a-baby vibes. Every single bite was both juicy and well-seasoned! The texture was also perfect. And it came out piping hot. Jasper Lee is easy to talk to and seems to enjoy what he does. He gets bonus points for catching AND frying the fish himself. I'll be back.

I visited the original location in Scott, AR in March 2010. Sadly, the historic restaurant, which opened in 1917 burned down in 2017, which was the year of their 100th anniversary. So, my review was based on that location. I had heard about these hubcap burgers. I wanted a substantial lunch that day as I didn't want to bother with dinner. I was moving across the US from Arizona to Alabama; so Arkansas was on the way. Service was good. The burger was a massive size of a hubcap of a wheel. I believe it came with fries, which is standard. I pigged out on that whole massive burger. It was delicious, a real treat. But as if that weren't enough, I sprung for apple pie for dessert. It was pretty good, but probably would've been better if I wasn't already quite full. The real highlight was the hubcap burger.
