We had such a great experience here! Hubby and I drove from Michigan to Texas. I wanted ice cream, so searched on yelp and saw this place. Decided it sounded worth checking out. The place is decorated with lots of cute nostalgia! We seriously looked at the menu for 15 minutes cause it all sounded so good! Hubby had the Italian Stallion and was so engrossed in his burger he was very quiet! He also had the "ice cream cake". WOW. He lovvvvvved everything! I wanted to save room for ice cream, so I had a grilled cheese which was fine and the fried pickles-that were awesome!!!!! I also got a butterfinger shiver-- like a blizzard but way more candy in it!!! The owner was there and very friendly. We told him we were from Texas he pointed out his wife who is from Texas, his kids, and his mom (who started The Shake Shack with her late husband almost 40 years ago!). It felt like family and was such a wonderful experience. If we are anywhere in the area, we will be back. GO IF YOU CAN!!!! read more

A great burger joint in Marion, Ar. I had the John Wayne and it was amazing. The burger was fresh and juicy. Pulled pork and BBQ sauce mad it even better. The service was great. Everyone was very friendly. Was greeted as soon as we walked into the door. Highly recommend stopping if you are near this exit off I55 in Marion. Worth the visit. We will definitely be back coming through on our way to Memphis. read more

We finally got an opportunity on a recent Saturday afternoon to try this little gem. Truly a throw back to the old Mom and Pop malt shops. We opted for the mushroom Swiss burger and the meat maniac (aptly named, it even had a sliced hot dog on top). Both were served fresh off the grill, piping hot and delicious! I had to give the chocolate malt a try, rich, thick and very chocolatey! We will definitely be back to try the delicious looking pies... read more

Tacker's Shake Shack - Lots of funky memorabilia on the walls - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Marion, Arkansas

This is a great spot for many reasons, most importantly because it is owned and operated by a wonderful local family that deeply cares about not only serving a good product but also about creating a better world. Big John's Shake Shack is located in Marion, Arkansas, just off I-55. Known for it's delicious and wide selection of milkshakes and burgers, it's also home to a nice collection of Elvis memorabilia. Recently, this dive affixed a world map to the wall where you can proudly display your home. Guests have come from as far as Asia (and as a surprise, the staff will try and speak Japanese with you if you allow them). The Shake Shack used to be open only during the week, but recently the ownership allowed a son (and headmaster of a local Christian school) to open on Saturdays and use proceeds to support mission trips around the world. This is a wonderful cause in my opinion, so our family tries and eat once a month here on Saturdays, where we dine on burgers, fries, tater tots and milkshakes. No, it's not healthy, but yes, it's good. To make it even better, there is homemade pie. Four stars and I am already looking forward to that next burger and shake. read more

Great Burgers! Fun atmosphere and wonderful service! It's perfect for a breakfast meeting, friends lunch, and a quick stop for after school treat with the kids. read more

Found ourselves pulling into the KOA a bit late, and needing dinner. Found this diner, and thought we'd give this local only place a try. So glad we did. The decor was all decked out in the 50's and everybody knew everybody and welcomed us as if we were one of the locals. We ordered and without disappointment had one of the best burgers we've had in a long time. Friendly hint, order their homemade chips. Let's not forget their homemade desserts and malts. If we're ever in the area..... we'll definitely be back!!! read more

Shake Shack recently moved into their new building, so they've got more room. However, I think the flavor was left behind. I had some great burgers at the former location but just went to the new place and my burger was completely flavorless. The legendary big John burger appeared to be a 1/2 lb of wholesale frozen burger patty. Oh and the chili had an overwhelming vinegar taste...I don't think chili has vinegar in it. I hope this was an isolated incident and everything works out for them. read more

Good food. Pork rind nachos are good (just don't get them to go unless you specify to put the pork rinds on the side otherwise you end up with a soggy mess) read more

Wish they'd turn of the lies that are Fox News. Either turn off the politics or turn on the truth. I'd suggest getting vegan options since it's growing more popular and not very accessible in town. read more

Burgers were just okay, but the prices are great, the restaurant is clean, and the staff was very friendly and kind. We fed a family of six for thirty dollars and no one left hungry. Cute place to stop off the freeway. read more

Okay, who gives these reviews? The shake shack has only 6 or so flavors of ice cream. The rest is soft serve mixed with artificial flavoring. The hamburgers reminded me of times gone by... there is a reason they are gone; no moisture was left in this quashed patty. Don't get me started on the Mac and cheese. It was swimming in cheese oil. Yum! Best thing I can say is that it will be over soon and you can leave. read more

Great new space, lots of nostalgia, like going back in time. Burgers are five star alone! Awesome!

Dinner-- they don't tell you when they are out of fried pies. The shakes and desserts apparently come out on a different register (have had to remind them both times I've ordered them). The fried pickles would be awesome if they weren't dripping in oil and super salty. Didn't have hoagie told and didn't mention that either. On the plus side they have a fabulous side salad and the shakes are amazing. read more

Good burgers and chicken fingers. Friendly service and atmosphere inside. Kudos to the staff.

Stopped in at one of my childhood favorites today, it was not a disappointment! Ordered the John Wayne sliders, big flavor in small packages. The price was decent for three burgers and a side of tots or fries. The decor is a bit dated and the building could certainly use some repairs as there was a classic bucket catching the rain. This was a bit unsettling, I just think of the possibilities. Anyways, with that aside, the food was yummy, the service was friendly, and we'll stop in again sometime soon. read more

My family absolutely loved our meal! We had Waverly JJ's, breakfast JJ's, biscuits and gravy, and the Italian Stallion burger. Everyone left full and happy. Even got desserts (milk shakes and fried pies) to go. Staff was so friendly. Will return next time we are driving through. read more

This place is awesome! We drove across the river to get ice cream and found this place on Yelp. It's a super cute family owned diner that's been in the family for 40 years and for three generations. The current owner Jeff is super friendly and told us all about the establishment and helped to recommend what to get. I ended up with the peanut butter banana hot fudge shake and it was delicious - highly recommend. This is a perfect place to visit if you're looking for a family-feel good atmosphere with awesome service and friendly people! read more

Staying in West Memphis tonight and found this place just a few miles from our stay. Great stop for a burger and fries or a side salad and other items on the menu. Had some great looking pies, shakes, and in-house made peanut brittle, too! While I didn't break down and have any of these, I sure was tempted! I highly recommend this local place established in 1977. Lots of wall art to feast on while you're dining. Give it a try! read more

Just passing through and decided to stop here for dinner. A full parking lot & lotsa folks inside was a pretty good hint: AWESOME burgers...and fabulous malts (I had butterscotch). Even better, manager Jeff Tacker visited with us quite a bit. Told us how his family has had this place for 45 years. Between this & a well-trained, fast & friendly staff, guarantee we'll stop here if we pass this way again! Love it!! read more

Best milkshake I've ever had, easily. 24+ flavors to choose from and the ones I tasted were all supremely rich, creamy, and tasty. The consistency is just remarkable and the flavor was deep and not overly sweet. Just superb. Alas, the service was hit-or-miss--some of the employees were friendly, some were evangelical, some withstood all attempts to make communication. Look like they also had a good selection of well-priced fried foods and pies here as well, so definitely worth a visit back. read more

Traveling with our 4 kids and took a chance here. It was slow when we arrived probably due to recent icy roads so we had most of the place to ourselves. Great friendly service from teens who knew how to work. The food came out quick and super hot! Beef and veggie soup was great, but my daughter deemed the Broc/cheese too cheesy ;) the cornbread was awesome and great with the soups. 2 kiddos split the Mac and cheese burger and loved it and my husband got the fried fish and it was super good! Loved the light batter and it wasn't soggy, nice and crisp. My other son had a hot dog and was confused by it being on a hamburger bun :) crinkle cut fries, excellent sweet tea with good ice and great shakes to take on the road. A great stop, affordable and you'll feel better than eating fast food! read more

We stopped here on our way home from vacation in Memphis, TN. We are out of towners, but this will definitely be on our itinerary if visit the area again!

Everything was made fresh and was so tasty! read more
