“My wife and I live in Pine Bluff. We had heard about Bobbie D’s through family and friends. This past Monday we were debating on what to have for lunch. I suggested we try Bobbie D’s so we made the short 40 minute drive. 1st of all the staff and servers were extremely friendly and accommodating. And most of all the Food was well seasoned and delicious. I’m trying to reduce my meat consumption so I had all vegetables. The Greens reminded me of my mothers and that’s saying a lot. Needless to say today just 4 days later, we are heading back. Will also check out their Sunday menu which they said is even better ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting TBB. The food was so delicious. I had their seasonal shrimp and grits with bacon jam. And my husband had their Cajun Shrimp Scamble. My dish was good. But his dish was the star of the show. We could tell our dishes was cooked with love. Our server, Clarissa is truly a gem, and took very good care of us. I just found out they have a location that's closer to home for us. But this location has easily become our new spot. We enjoyed ourselves.“

“Lazy Pete’s is one of those spots you try once and immediately want to come back to. The wings are absolutely delicious—crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. And the po’ boys? Easily some of the best I’ve had anywhere. Fresh bread, perfectly seasoned seafood, and generous portions.

On top of all that, everything is super well priced. You get quality food without breaking the bank, which is rare these days.

Whether you’re grabbing lunch or dinner, Lazy Pete’s hits the spot every time. Great flavors, great value, and just an all-around awesome place to eat.“

“I’m so glad I gave Slim Chickens another shot—this location on N Shackleford Rd in Little Rock completely changed my opinion of the brand! After a terrible experience at a different location, I decided to give it one more try because so many people had raved about Slim Chickens—and I’m glad I listened.

I ordered the Buffalo Tender Mac Bowl Meal, and everything was cooked perfectly! The chicken was hot and crispy, the noodles were tender, and the flavor was spot on. Even better, the service here was genuinely friendly and welcoming—night and day compared to the last place I visited.

The only reason I’m giving 4 instead of 5 stars is that the music inside was a little loud for my taste. But overall, this was a great experience, and I’ll definitely be coming back to this location again“

I have always had a good experience with the quickness of the drive-through, the pleasantness of the employees and the quality of the food. I would much rather go here than wait 25 minutes at Chick-fil-A to get a six piece nugget“
