Pops has delicious food and it is so cute! I really enjoyed my meal and will definitely return.
Took the wife out for birthday dinner and it was absolutely awesome. The service was great and the food was incredible every bit as good as New Orleans!!!
The gumbo and ribeye were awesome. Service friendly. Will return if we are ever in the area again
Always a great experience at Pops! Everything I have ever ordered is delicious. The service is excellent and the I love the atmosphere!
We are newer to SE Arkansas (Nashville) and been meaning stop in and give Pop's a try. We were not disappointed. The place just has a cool vibe about it, from the outside dinning, decor and although it was packed neither felt or sounded like it. The staff was great from the time we walked in and server Maddie was EXCELLENT! We were "Those" costumers that asked to move and they accommodated without an eye roll or anything . We both ended up getting excellent cuts of filets that were cooked just right and seasoning was dialed in. As for the sides, my Cajun corn was darn good, my wife's sides were the twice baked and asparagus, which she said were very good. She also had the Peach Bellini, which she said was @Pretty Damn Tasty" ! Then unexpectantly to finish, they bought us a couple small cups of bread pudding - you can never go wrong giving a fat guy some bread pudding and it was good and finished us out! Over all excellent experience and great night.....we will be back to try out some of the other food and few of the Bourbons they have. Thank you
Bacon wrapped filet is top notch. We always forgot about them since they are on the other side of town from us. But everything is always so good when we go.
Fun place. Great boudin Don't order the etouffee, it isn't what you think (nawlins style it ain't). I would return.
Was passing through and found this gem while searching for cajun and or seafood. We had the etouffee with fried catfish which had potatoes and corn on the side. Catfish was fantastic!!! The etouffee and catfish combination went together really well. The etouffee had some spice to it, but was not overbearing. The corn and potatoes were spicy as well, but not too strong, just a little hint to know there is spice there. After dinner we had some samples of bread pudding and that was really good as well. As first time visitors we received a complimentary crawfish and grits. Just a little bit off of I-30 on the Arkansas side. Service was prompt and friendly with a very laid back atmosphere. Can't wait for our next visit.
Trying to find a restaurant that is good when you are out of town is a gamble, but this gamble paid off when we walked into Pops Place. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but when you walk in they have Christmas lights inside and it opens up to a large seating area. Also an outdoors seating area if you want to hangout and sit by the fire. The service was great! Our waiter checked in on us multiple times. Took great care of us. Appetizer: the chips and salsa taste so good! The salsa is homemade! Entrees: Smartinis chicken sandwich - Grilled chicken with bacon, avocado, lettuce, tomato and chipotle mayo served with our fresh-fried potato chips. Has a bit of a kick! 5/5 Mesquite grilled chicken breast - you have three marinades to choose from teriyaki, lemon-pepper or Italian. Wife opted for teriyaki and loved it. 5/5 Bacon wrapped filet mignon - grandparents loved every bite! You get two sides to choose from. If you are driving through or staying the night. I highly recommend checking this place out!
We have been waiting so long to try this place! Hubby & I picked this as one of our destination restaurants while on Christmas break as it's kinda far away from our farmhouse, like 3 1/2 hours away. So, we finally got to try it & boy was it worth the wait!!! The "Pops crawfish grits" was everything you want in a lightly spicy creamy crawfish sauce & the white "grits" or "creamy polenta" that comes with it, are creamy dreamy yumminess on a plate! GET IT! :)... LOVE LOVE LOVE this dish! We even got one to go! In fact, we loved it so much we even got it as a side to top our steaks !!! And the STEAKS are WOZA! Hubby got the ribeye, he said it was the best steak he has ever had. The sides were even amazballs! We both got the twice baked potatoes they were really good, with a really great flavor. Hubby got grilled broccoli & I got grilled asparagus. BOTH were grilled to perfection. That is my biggest complaint usually. Restaurants that can't make veggies correctly. No worries here, both our veggies were cooked perfectly. YUM! :)... Moi got the filet mignon with the twice cooked potatoes & grilled asparagus & a side of the crawfish sauce to top it with. Best dish of my LIFE!!! :)... My filet mignon was a giant hand cut baseball size "french cut" it was charred so beautifully on the outside and it was completely medium perfection on the inside!! The flavor of the mesquite char was Outstanding! We go to a LOT of steak houses and this was the best steak I have had. The best dinner we have had. Completely flawless. A perfect dinner! A "flamboyance" of flavor! LOVED the healing spirit of the Pink Flamingos EVERYWHERE! The Best Flamingo Christmas tree I have ever seen! The service was excellent, everyone so friendly! The martinis ROCKED! LOVE all the healing Flamingos! The Best Christmas dinner EVER, can't wait to return! My new Favorite Restaurant! Highest recommendations.
