I ate Little Rock I like food, maybe too much! I like to cook it, share it, eat it...and take pics of it. Enjoy, I did!

Finally grabbed some takeout from Roni’s Mac Bar!

The Hot Stuff was my pick, and I chose well. So cheesy, packed with flavor, and just enough heat to keep things interesting. 🔥

I’m already planning my next visit because there are way too many menu items I want to try. Next time, I’m staying to enjoy the space instead of taking it to go!

Southern Tail last night and still thinking about that chicken sandwich! The thing is, I am not a huge fried food/sandwich person. I listened to our waiter and he did not lead me astray! I got it Nashville Hot Style and wow! I will be getting that again. I also had a side of pub cheese for our fries (another waiter suggestion) and it was well-loved.
I heard the shrimp/sausage grits were great. I am not a grits person so they would have been lost on me.

The beer, because after all this is a brewery. I had the First Blush and it is definitely a good summer drink. Not too sweet and had a nice floral note.
The Shipping Container was equally as good and paired perfectly with the grits, from what I was told.

Our service was amazing! We had a very large table and he handled it like a pro. The food came out on time and correct. I hate that I did not get his name but I did include a little balancing challenge that he won hands down. I hope can figure out the servers name and pass along that he is a wonderful server with excellent “table-side manner”.

I eat out a fair amount (shocking, I know 😉), but I really do cook at home, too…just not this week.

This week Healthy Chew is handling lunch for me at just about the cost of a trip to the grocery store. And no meal prep, no grocery list, no chopping, no “what am I going to eat today?” because it’s already done and it’s SO good.

I chose the Lean Fix meals and the amount of food honestly surprised me. The portions are great, the calories and macros are listed for me, and did I mention…I didn’t have to cook? 😉

Give Healthy Chew a try; easy, local, and delicious is a pretty great combo.

Soft opening for Loca Luna was simply amazing!

The refreshed interior strikes the perfect balance between old and new. The warm wood tones and updated seating give the space the facelift it needed while still preserving the family feel that has made Loca Luna a Little Rock favorite for decades. The bar area is welcoming, spacious, and destined to remain a gathering spot for Little Rockians.

Now, the food.

Everything we had was exceptional. My filet was cooked exactly as ordered, and my dining companions were equally impressed with their selections. Every dish felt thoughtful, polished, and worthy of the occasion.

The service was equally impressive. Had we not known this was their first dinner service, we never would have guessed. Neomi and Miranda elevated the entire experience with recommendations that came with genuine enthusiasm and specific reasons they loved each dish and drink—not just a simple “it’s my favorite.”

And the desserts... swoon.

No, we did not have room for dessert. Yes, we ordered the Basque cheesecake anyway because we knew it would be amazing with involved. The cheesecake was outstanding, and the shortbread alongside it was unforgettable. I’ll be dreaming about both until my next visit.

In short (ha!), Loca Luna feels ready for its next 30 years. Fidel and his team have done something special, honoring the traditions that made Loca Luna beloved while thoughtfully taking it to the next level.
Little Rock, you’re going to want a reservation!

WLR (and LR in general) has needed more good pizza places. Portofino Artisan Pizza is where we decided to try tonight and we’re so glad that we did.

The pizza was legit, great crust, great flavor, and not a sad floppy slice in sight. But honestly? The appetizer lineup may have surprised me even more. There were multiple things on the menu I immediately wanted to come back for.

This feels like one of those places where you slowly work your way through the menu because you know there are going to be favorites in every category. Pizza, apps, salads…we’re in.

Mother’s Day brunch at was fantastic! The kids treated me to brunch and knew that Ciao Baci was going to make it that much more special.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mamas!

This was my first visit to Bakery in Searcy and will not be the last!

First the smell - you are embraced by the most wonderful smell of fresh baked goods and it lets you know you are in a special place.
Next is the service - I was met by an employee who seemed to intuit that this was my first visit. He helped me with my selections and told me all his favorites. Everyone from start to finish were so helpful.

The Mint Julep Roasted Chicken & Strawberry Sandwich was one of their featured sandwiches and was so flavorful.
I had the Simple Turkey Sandwich and it was anything but simple! It was huge (hello, leftovers) and had a wonderful complexity that most “simple turkey sandwiches” do not have.

I grabbed some cookies and a slice of cake for the weekend and wish I had gotten there sooner to see what other joys the case may have held. They warned me that they sell out quickly and I understand why.

In short (ha!) Searcy is not that far of a drive from LR and Wild Sweet Williams is a welcome addition to your Searcy journey.

Sad and glad existing in the same space -

Glad - there was one unexpected chocolate left in the Easter box.
Sad - there was only one chocolate left in the Easter Kelly Wassell box. 😢

My stomach and body were in agreement when they nicely said, “For the love of God woman, eat some vegetables!”

So obviously I went straight to and ordered my go-to, the Mediterranean Salad with chicken.

Pro move: extra tomatoes, cucumbers, and garbanzo beans (because beans = protein and I’m trying to be responsible-ish). Then skip the dressing and grab a side of their cucumber & tomato salad and pile it on top. It’s fresh, bright, and honestly makes the entire meal that much better. (Not pictured)

Bonus that it’s easily two meals…unless your body has been yelling at you all day like mine was. 😉

Little Rock does not play about a good salad, and this one is solidly top 10, maybe even top 5 for me. Add in the curbside/drive-thru convenience after a long day and it’s basically a no-brainer.

The Croissanterie for brunch today was phenomenal! I finally ventured away from my usual faves and ordered the Croque Ducrot. This means I now have a new all-time favorite! I did an an egg and made her a Madame - I highly recommend this route 🍳

My brunch companion had the Loaded Biscuits & Gravy and was quite the hero for not licking the bowl clean. He also had the April Showers Latte from the coffee special menu - also garned a recommended drink from him.
To-go pastries are also a must although you won’t be hungry for them for quite awhile.

The Croissanterie always hits it out of the park for me, but today was next level great.

Loved seeing your sticker, Pharmtofoodie
