Jo Jo's BBQ...

JoJo's is one of my most fave places in the Sherwood area. Lots of good things on the menu. On Thursdays you can get the special of Chicken and Dumplings with a big hunk of homemade cornbread. And, if you wander in on any other day there are plenty more specials and choices to be made. Had my favorite Loaded Potato with Pork and mild sauce the other day with a helping of wonderful baked beans and the most delightful homemade onion rings. Oh, just about everything here is homemade and you can tell. Great service, delicious food, and something for all palates.

Mack's Fish House...

Mike and I were touring the Heber Springs area a few months back and stumbled upon this sweet little restaurant that had very good food. I always judge a fish place by its hushpuppies so, Mack's gets a super gold star! The spicy shrimp and the bowl of pinto beans with onion were like icing on the cake. And, speaking of cake...the above HOMEMADE chocolate layered masterpiece was 2 Di 4!!!!!

Wink's Dairy Bar...

Sometimes I go to visit my cousin, Brenda in the Rose City area where she works and has for the last thirty years. When I go see Brenda we usually want to have lunch somewhere fast and close. The other day we went to Wink's Dairy Bar which has been in Rose City for as long as I can remember. And, that's a long time. Anyway, I saw a friend of mine in the kitchen and it has been about 45 years (or more) since I have seen Diane (my friend since grade school)! I can't believe we recognized each other and I can't believe I had no idea this was her family dairy bar. Small world...we did catch up on a lot of the lost years as we talked about who was doing what, where, when, and how. Sort of like a grade school reunion! I digress...back to the food...I had the (small) Frito Chili Pie and it was really very good. I especially liked the salad that came on top of all the Cheddar cheese, Fritos, and delicious chili. Felt a lot less guilty with that salad on top.
2 Di 4...

Alley Oops...

Alley Oops had been in the Little Rock area for a long, long time. Remember when they were located on the corner of Shackleford and Kanis? They are certainly one of my favorite restaurants and I always enjoy their food. Had the Chili and Shrimp 'n Grits the other day which I can say, 2 Di 4! Best chili I've had in a good while and the shrimp and grits were super good! Lots of people coming in for brunch...saw a lot of mimosas being served...

Sharky's in Sherwood...

Gosh, these people can fry some great fish! I've been going to Shark's for a few years at their Camp Robinson Road location in North Little Rock and I have always been impressed with the quality of their food and service. There is now have a Sharky's on Kiehl Avenue in the Sherwood area and you know what that means...just a little bit less driving time (for me) when I'm in the mood for some good ole (never greasy) Southern fried catfish! Absolutely delicious! Found the following youtube video...

Mr. Dunderbak's at the McCain Mall...

This coney from Mr. Dunderbak's at the McCain Mall in North Little Rock, AR was just not up to my 'coney eating par' the other day. Hope these guys get it together. The bun was very hard and the service was very slow. Had potential. Certainly not the Mr. Dunderbak's of long ago at the mall...remember...

Stroud's Country Cafe...

This is a great little diner for a big ole breakfast! Take the Mayflower exit off Interstate 40 (if you're heading toward Conway) and you will not be disappointed. The server was very friendly, helpful, and down home sweet! Try the humongous omelet on the menu...enough for two! Also, the Levy Crew meets there on the last Friday of each month...
