    The Rachel, Cheddar and broccoli soup with sweet tea
    Angela R.

    The food was really good. Nice hearty portions on the meat for sandwiches. The cheddar and broccoli soup was very cheesy. The tea, it was amazing. The service was slow and they were short staffed but it was worth the wait.

    Usually, we have no issues with McAlister's. Last night, their food was fine. Same as always. I enjoy their salads and soups, even their sandwiches are pretty tasty. My kid loved the baked potato she got. And my Other kiddo loved the salad. Idk if they thought I wouldn't say anything or what but this is the cookie that is at the end of the dough that's always low on chocolate chips and teensy tiny. It came with the kids meal we got I can't help but laugh at how ridiculous it is. Thankfully, I'm a baker and we had plenty of chocolate chip cookies on hand for a quick dessert. But it was definitely a let down

    Chips

    This place has went downhill. Their soup is delicious, but their tea isn't the same delicious drink as it was for years. They were out of bread bowls on the evening of October 12, 2019. Here is an example of the chips that we had to ask for. Crumbs is what they presented with. I told my friend to bring your own crackers or chips the next time.

    I have been in Arkansas for about a week, and BBQ sat high on my priority list. I drove past Whole…read moreHog Cafe, noticed the sign, and decided to stop in. Friday night felt unusually slow. No wait to order. No wait for food. My order came out in about ten minutes. Speed was fine. Price was not. $31.94 for a two meat combo with burnt ends feels high, especially for the quality served. My tray arrived incomplete. Pulled pork was missing. Staff fixed the issue shortly after, so credit there. Potato salad tasted fine. Heavy ranch flavor. Potatoes were cooked well with some bite left. Decent side. Nothing memorable. Mac and cheese was unacceptable. Tasted like frozen grocery store mac and cheese. No seasoning. No depth. No reason for this to be on the menu. Pulled chicken had solid seasoning but arrived dry and barely warm. Sauce or a large drink felt required. Pulled pork arrived cold and lacked flavor. No smoke presence. No richness, and no moisture whatsoever. Burnt ends looked promising but failed on execution. Served cold. Bark was crisp. Some bites were moist. Other bites were dry. Flavor was average. These were brisket chunks, not true burnt ends. No caramelization. No sauce coating. Sauces were the highlight. Every option tasted good. The #1 classic mild stood out. The #3 tangy and spicy was also strong. Overall experience landed average to below average. The walls advertise BBQ championships, but the food did not support the reputation. Serving cold meat is unacceptable. Serving generic mac and cheese is worse. I expected far more from a place carrying this name.
