Mixed experience at Big D's. Which is to say it's a mixed gas station, convenience store, and…read moreSouthern restaurant. I like cheap gas but I really came for the restaurant part of things. The low-down on this local: * It feels more like the first two. There is seating, but you're seated in a convenience store with gas pumps, kind of like the exits out in the New Mexico desert or Texas prairie that have a single store. Then again, I had amazing Indian food in the New Mexico desert, which is why I didn't count out Big D's. * It's hard to tell what goes on in the kitchen. I heard the beep at one point that suggests some food is microwaved. But I also heard a deep fryer going at another point. My friend got chicken fingers and I got "fat boy sausage" (sausage meat wrapped around cream cheese and jalapeno), so I can't really say how much Big D's is actually BBQ, but we both liked our foods. * Portion size was small for my sandwich, but my friend got a lot of chicken. Neither of our dishes had anything on them - his came with fries, my sausages came on bread with some BBQ sauce, and that was it. But they were tasty. But I would say the bread was rather low-quality. Not that they make in-house bread at this gas station. * Friendly, if a bit quiet, service. I got mine as a meal and the guy behind the counter said I took a large. I thought he meant I took the wrong bag off the display and I had to pay more. No, he meant I took too small of a cup of tea and he handed me a larger cup. Initially I was thinking 3 stars, but the sausage just refused to leave my mind. So I came back and got a sausage and a salad to go (needed some veggies in my diet). Good size salad, cheese sprinkled on top, even though they were quiet and didn't ask about dressing (fortunately I overhead and changed from ranch, but they didn't give me the vinagrette I ended up settling on). And I think they were very generous with the sausage they gave me for my 1/2 pound order. Do I recommend it to others? Definite maybe. Especially if you want the fat boy sausage.

Staying in downtown Mena for the weekend after driving the beautiful and windy scenic byway…read moremountain road from Oklahoma, we were THRILLED to find a place to eat right next to our loft. The Feral Hog did not disappoint! They have delicious slow smoked St Louis style pork ribs, beef brisket and slow roasted shredded pork. We got the shredded pork sandwiches, dill potato salad, warm German style potato salad, cole slaw and cowboy beans to take to the park just one block away and had the best outdoor, COVID-19 safe picnic of our weekend. All of the food was delicious in every way, and the cowboy beans, though hotter than I make (chopped jalapeño is in the sauce), were a perfect and hearty pairing. If we come to Mena again we will be walking through those doors for our next meal!

Cowboy steak is chicken fried steak without the fry, plus onions and mushrooms. Healthy! And they made it as rare as they could for a thin cut. Generous side of creamy mashed potatoes, authentic homemade biscuit. The only downside was the green beans could have been better flavored and prepared. I don't think it's a common request, but I wanted veggies in my diet. That's all. Good service, nice ambiance, great food, the total package. I almost came back the second night, if I hadn't wanted to try a different place. So you should revisit for me.

I ordered a hand tossed and the crust was not like the typical hand tossed. It was something like I'd never tasted, and not in a good way. There was also corn meal on the bottom which I've never had from the Hut either. There was a spice sprinkled all over the pizza which I did not request. I'd asked for Hut Favorite spice on the crust, but there was none. Overall, the pizza was ok but when you go to a chain, it usually tastes the same no matter where you go. That is not what happened here. The driver was very kind, however they did not leave it at the door as I'd requested.

My experience begin the moment that I rolled into the parking lot. As I approach the door I was greeted with a very chic and modern interior that speaks well of not only the restaurant but of the town that it is in. As soon as I crossed into the threshold of the eatery my nostrils were set a flame with the delicious smells of various meats vegetables and other fresh ingredients imported from various exotic locations, it was a beautiful moment. After pondering over their extensive menu and making my careful selection I approached the counter. The friendly woman working behind the cash register took my order; a double cheeseburger plain and dry, a large fry, and a large Dr Pepper to wash it down. With my order placed I took a seat in one of the comfortable boots, taking the moment to savor the tasteful decorations, listening to the elegant music selections, and even enjoying my fair share of the complementary Wi-Fi. But alas of those corporeal distractions mattered but none when as if by angels, my food was delivered to my table. I took a bite of the cheeseburger the juices so mouthwatering in the spices so vivid, it was truly a treat. That magnificent burger was beautifully complemented by a large serving of thin but not too thin, crunchy but not too crunchy, salty but not too salty french fries. All of this was aided into my digestive system with a large Dr Pepper, truly delightful. In conclusion while a McDonald's may not be a very rare sight, one of this magnitude however should be cherished and visited by many. My brief existence in this realm of bliss and happiness came to an end all too soon, but as I walked back through the parking lot to my 1992 Geo Metro the only thought on my mind was when will I return again. So my friends reading this review I will leave you with this, choose bliss, choose happiness, choose satisfactory, choose Highway 71 McDonald's in Mena Arkansas.
