After a month-long hiatus in the Emergency Department, I began to appreciate food even more. Switching back and forth from days to nights and 12 hours shifts will do a number on your stomach, especially when you have little time to eat hearty or even healthy food. I've decided it is not a diet program that many would prescribe to.
We decided after our arduous span in the hospital that our next date would center around comfort food. This led us to Homer's. Homer's has long been available to the lunch crowd, and since its original location is located in East Little Rock with easy interstate access, it has long drawn a crowd of blue and white-collar workers, suits and boots. With less modestly dressed waitresses and fat-charged feasts, its patronage has typically been predominantly male. However, after opening a newer location on Rodney Parham and expanding business hours, the crowd seems to be diversifying.
Irregardless of the clientele, Homer's continues to offer filling down-home favorites staying true to its roots. I hear they are starting to serve breakfast as well-- certainly worth looking in to.
Menu: ★★★☆☆
Good daily specials and plenty of regulars to choose from. No ground-breaking experiments in the culinary art-form here, just southern favorites. Good choices for the youngsters as well.
Food: ★★★☆☆
Comforting and tasty. Often a little too heavy or greasy, but not unexpectedly. Some items taste cheap (macaroni and cheese), other's taste fantastic (okra). Daily specials are cooked to order so they are hot and delicious.
Atmosphere: ★★★☆☆
The decor is a bit confused. It's diner meets smokehouse meets Razorback patronage. Corrugated metal,
sports memorabilia, artwork, etc. A bit bizarre.
Service: ★★★★☆
Friendly and hospitable. Deep cut tank-tops abound.
