The Meat Shoppe

My husband and I just moved back into the area and could not wait to have a crawfish boil. When we…read morepreviously lived here, we have always ordered from Floyd's and never had any issues. Same as before, made our order over the phone to get a bag of mudbugs. Pretty simple and person on the phone was very nice and pleasant. Went a picked up the bugs as scheduled. Mudbugs were active and a good size. Cooked them up and delicious as always. Glad I went on my gut feeling and the prior service I have always received at this place as opposed to some of the comments on here. We are very pleased with the whole process and the crawfish we bought. Oh, party was fabulous!!

If you're looking for the best family-run meat market, look no further. I called last minute to see…read moreif I could get a sack of crawfish a few weeks ago. Shockingly enough, the lovely lady on the phone said they were out but would take my number down and call me when they got word from the farmer. She called me promptly the next day as soon as they got the shipment and let me pick it up less than 24 hours later. I didn't think I'd hear back seeing that I had called 4 other places the day before. The crawfish from here would've gotten my business but it's their customer service that truly shines through and keeps me coming back!

Ranging from Cashiers, Managers, Stockers, Baggers, and etc. I would highly recommend shopping here for all of your groceries. They have great prices and the food is as fresh as it gets. They butcher their own meat so you know it is always fresh. They are always helpful if I need help and never once has any of them had an attitude with me. I am always in and out because they always keep plenty of lanes open. Never will you not receive a great shopping experience.

As the Director of Food & Beverage for one of the downtown hotels, guests often ask me where they can find excellent barbecue.

Got their spicy sauce to try, which was solid - a nice cross of sweet, spicy, and that vinegar bite at the end. I also got the zucchini salad - a delicious combo of sliced zucchini, tomato chunks, (I think) sweet onion, and fresh parm, with that vinegar bite at the end to balance all the flavor. Got those who need the gluten-free option, all of their meats are safe. Service is terrific. Phil and the crew are extremely helpful and kind. The restaurant itself is definitely a classy take on the traditional KC or Texas BBQ joint. I like the location, too - pretty convenient to get to and park at. If I'm ever back in Little Rock, I'll be back.
