They closed up shop and bailed on the challenge.

Well, people. Let me tell you a story. My family and I are on our way through Arkansas to Texas. On…read morethe way we wanted to experiment with ChatGPT to give us some good ideas for some amazing Arkansas Cuisine. ChatGPT recommended this place. Let me tell you, when ChatGPT says it can be wrong, it can be very wrong! You pull up to this red shack and notice the sign to tell you "This is the place" is 80% gone with missing lettering. The shack it self looks like it's ac window units are about to shatter and fall out of the window seals. Anyways, so you pull up, open your car doors, and the family is excited for some good ol' fashion family bbq. You walk into the door and... your feet are sticking to the floor. Well okay maybe someone spilled something, then you walk and realize, you were right! Someone did spill something, over the entire floor! Some of the floor is missing sections as well. Also, the atmosphere does not smell like bbq, grilling, frying, or anything else. It smells like urine. No other way to describe it. The ceiling above our head by our round table looked like it wanted to collapse on our heads. The bathroom... the bathroom should tell you all you need to know about this place. I know you're thinking, "why did we stay and order food". Well, we thought maybe, just maybe, it's a diamond in the rough. It's not a diamond, it's just in the rough. We ordered our food, grilled catfish, hush puppies, beef bbq plate, pulled pork sandwich, Tamala's, etc. Let me break these down for you piece by piece. Grilled Catfish - edible, small, expensive, and sad. Hushpuppies - Burnt and about as hard as marbles. Beef bbq plate - beef is decent, props. However, the coleslaw, flavorless, the beans, sad, and the Texas Toast, just toast, oh well. Pulled pork sandwich with Cajun fries - sandwich, absolutely flavorless, Cajun fries, fries with salt and pepper. Tamales - Good, but not worth the price. Presented poorly, and with the atmosphere, scary. Did I mention the food was served one-person at a time? Every single person had time to finish their plate before the next person got their plate. Also, the containers of Tartar sauce and ranch were grimy and spotted with black specks. I tried to squeeze out some ranch, but only a thin white liquid came out. What does this tell you about how this place cleans and stores their condiments? The people are kind, it's not the workers personality. It's the condition of the establishment that do a number on this place. Why do I want to eat food from a place that doesn't take care of itself? Does that mean it doesn't take care of their food? I will not always give places chances, and I don't know if you, reader, will either. However, if you do, do not give this place your chance. This place needs work, and a lot of it. However, ChatGPT did say this was authentic Arkansas cuisine, so maybe that is exactly what we got.

The broccoli chicken was delicious and the broccoli was perfectly cooked. Everything we had for dinner was piping hot with the exception of the breaded fried zucchini (barely lukewarm but perfectly crispy). All selections we tried were delicious. The ONE middle-aged lady collecting dirty plates & filling drinks for the entire restaurant was phenomenal. I found her and handed her a nice cash tip before we left. She is definitely overworked and under appreciated. The man at the register was talking to a young male employee in another language -- across the restaurant. As in one guy was up by the front door and the other guy was at the furthest buffet table (desserts), so we got to listen to them holler back & forth at each for almost our entire meal. THAT was weird... and rude. We were exhausted and famished after 10 hours on the road, a peaceful meal would've been nice. As I said, the food was good so at least there was that. The variety of ice cream for dessert was great, but the 2 available scoops were soaking in a cloudy container of gray water. I just used an ice cream teaspoon to dig down deep & dish up. Pocahontas is a halfway point for us on many travels, this was our first time visiting China Star. Their hours are perfect for when we roll in at the end of a long day - I'd much rather have fresh stir fry than fast food. We'll be back.
