"Musique un peu forte, mais endroit tres agreable"

- Fred R.

"Have you ever been to a place that once you get there you know it's going to be . That what this place was. It was a Sunday during brunch and this id a magnificent time to go. I took my wife and daughter than took my sons some food because it was that good. We had wings, waffles burger, fries and catfish. One damn word FIRE !!!!!!"

- Patrick T.

"Came here after visiting the Clinton Library before heading to the airport. Cool place with a nice outdoor patio with lots of tables inside and out. It's tucked away by the railroad tracks in a forgotten industrial zone or something, but it's super cozy and has a good vibe. Easy parking in the dirt lot across the street. Tried the double smash burger and the chicken salad sandwich, both of which were very good. The burger patties weren't thin like a traditional smash burger, so the thing was HUGE, yet it the beef still had a good crust on it. The bacon was thick cut and perfect. The chicken salad was refreshing on a hot day. Fries were the kind that still have a little skin on them so you know they're real. Nicely dusted with seasoning salt. Sweet tea was not too sweet. There are specials every day on food and drinks. We considered the Saturday 10 wings for $10 special, but it would have been too much food. They also have great pricing on buckets of beer. The place was kinda dead at 1130am on a Saturday, but started filling up by the time we were leaving. Nice eclectic soundtrack was playing out in the beer garden. Hopefully more locals discover what they're missing and come support them!"

"Dropped in while passing through and wasn't let down. They posted about having live music and the menu looked easy and loved that "dawgs gotta eat too." Was greeted and reassured we were in good hands with a fellow Gator and got great recs from the bartender. The house rub wings were solid!"

- Zachary H.

"Hidden gem in the downtown area. If you're looking to get away from the noise and crowds that come with downtown LR, this area in East Village is where to go. Food was great, indoor and outdoor comfortable seating. It's gives me the vibes of a bigger UK Pub. Friendly and family atmosphere with food/drinks specials every day of the week. Will be back to catch some live music and become a regular spot for me and the family"

- Derrick N.

"Best damn wings and rings in Little Rock, the gentleman who was working the bar and took and brought our order and our bartender was awesome, we will be back next time we're in Little Rock and I will make sure to ask his name again, since I'm old and memory sucks lol, he was awesome, go check them out, we'll be back for sure and looking forward to it, YA'LL ROCK"
