Their menu had a wide variety of Asian food- mostly Vietnamese and Korean. There are several vegetarian options as well. Clean and friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced. I would definitely eat here again so I could try some more dishes.

New location, same "old" menu. Though by that we don't mean bad. Just reliably tasty food with an Ecuadorian flare. The new location is more roomy than the Garrison location so we have more space to visit and not feel as if we are sitting in the laps of diners at the next table. We received a gift certificate for the holidays and was unsure how to use it as it is printed on colored stationary rather than a visa-style gift card as is often the case. The waitstaff changed the amount of credit after our bill was closed and paid. Pretty easy -- just a little odd. As for food, we love their guacamole and orange tortillas, bean/corn salsa, and enchiladas. We were also pleasantly surprised with the Atkins diet plate. We ordered deserts to go. The rum cake was ok. The key lime pie was ok. The key lime cheesecake was the best of the 3. However, we'd never seen the color green in any other lime dessert ever! It was more like a bring St Patty's green. But at the end of the meal, the plate was clean so it didn't slow us down.

Nice atmosphere and good beer - most of the food was good, but very disappointed with the wings and more so with the reaction of our server to our concerns. We ordered medium wings, which has a pretty universal meaning, and got something inedible, then some nonsense explanation from our server. She was great until then, but super rude at that point.

I was in town on business and based on reviews and the recommendation of the hotel, I tried the Calico County. The service and food was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the sides. I also found that the other guest were very friendly, so it was nice to get to know some of the locals. A great meal.

Service was great; building was really interesting - very old - odd part of town, but neat building. Food (steak) was excellent. My husband and I split a ribeye and each ordered separate sides. Price was reasonable with splitting it. There was plenty to eat! I would recommend it!
6. Ralph's Pink Flamingo BBQ

Reviewed By SWRVS - Fort Smith, Arkansas,USA
We often call in for a rack of ribs, sides, or bulk BBQ. Everything we've ever had is tops, except when we bought cold ribs to warm ourselves and they did not compare to hot ones, maybe because we warmed them. Love their beans, potato salad, pies, and sandwiches. This is by far the best BBQ in Fort Smith. It's a family business, so their hours are short and we often eat late. The sausage may be the tastiest thing on menu, and a bit comes with other orders. The chicken half (dark only) is tender if you like dark meat.

Good oysters beinville and the shrimp po boy was very good. The French fries had some kind of seasoning that was tasty and not salty. The shrimp were fresh with a nice batter. The French bread was fresh. Nice menu with good choices. Excellent service.

Recently located to the area. Visited for our wedding Anniversary. Was not disappointed. The entire evening was fantastic from the greeting, the staff, the food, the music, the entire atmosphere. We were greeted with smiles and a friendly staff. Our waitress, Corey, was very knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive. My wife had the Sea Bass and I had the pork chop. Both were delicious. The pork chops came with grits that were the best I've ever had. The music, one individual playing guitar, was perfect for the quiet, intimate dining. And, without his knowledge, he played OUR song we had played at our wedding. Desserts were delicious. We ordered the Salted Caramel Cake. And we were also served a FREE Crème Brule with a Happy Anniversary message on the platter. The entire experience made for a very Happy Anniversary. Recommend this for any occasion.

You'd be smart to check this place out. Fresh, fast and super tasty. Chicken kabobs were much better than I had expected when ordered. The rice pilaf was as flavorful as it comes. Can't wait to try the baklava.

Fresh ground burgers are so juicy and flavorful. Lettuce, tomato, pickles were so fresh and crisp. Patrick's sauce was great and cheese was melted perfectly. Super helpful staff too!
