"Could you please try Grampa's Catfish, there are two of them, one is located on 9219 Stagecoach in Little Rock 501-407-0000, the other one is located in Sherwood on 100 Shadow Oaks, 501-834-5400. I think you will like the fish there, it is delicious. It's that old fashioned style catfish, good."

"My most favorite for seafood is: Red Lobster on McCain Blvd., N. Little Rock.The best pizza is: at the Olive Garden on McCain Blvd., N. Little Rock. And my favorite restaurant for good home cooking is: The Golden Corral on Warden Rd., N. Little Rock. At the Golden Corral one person can eat dinner for around $13 and about $17 at Red Lobster. The supreme pizza at Olive Garden is about $10. It’s not that big in diameter but it’s thick more like a pizza pie since it’s real Italian pizza. But it’s better than any pizza in Little Rock. The only other pizza that was in comparison to Olive Garden’s was a place I went to in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida called Perri’s. And, it too was a real Italian restaurant and they made real Sicilian pizza where they threw it up in the air and then put everything you wanted on it. It was delicious. But Olive Garden is a very close 2nd to Perri’s. "

I wanted to suggest to everyone that they try Michelangelo's Italian restaurant in Conway. Monday - Friday lunch they have a pasta bar for $8.49 that includes 4 different pastas, soup, salad & bread. This is a great deal for delicious italian food and fast. They also have 27 dinner entrees for $9.95 or less! Their Sunday brunch is fabulous!! If you haven't been there, you are missing out! It's one of my 2 favorite restaurants. The other is just down the block, Mike's Place!

Hey Denise:
Thanks for the heads-up on Michelangelo in Coway. I happen to have visited Mike's Place and it, too, is one of my favorites. Particularly love the salmon and the Banana's Foster is delish!!! Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Will have to get to Michelangelo's soon.

KT: Haven't done a "chicken wing" place, yet, so I'm definitely looking for a good one. I'll take your recommendation under consideration. Thanks for writing in.

Thanks for your recommendation of Smitty's. As a matter of fact, I have been there. The barbecue is awesome, but admittedly, I was a little "chicken" when it came to trying the extremely hot sauce. But, Smitty's is on my radar again. Will likely visit there next month. Appreciate your taking time to write in.

Hey RY: Thanks for the recommendation about the Entertainment books, I'd forgotten about those. I'm posting this so those who are inclined may be able to take advantage of your advice. Appreciate your taking time to write in.

Hi Janice, I do believe you have recommended a first for me. Have not tried Starving Artist Cafe. Will do so soon and let you know what I think. Appreciate your suggestion.

I'm looking forward to visiting Ashley's again. I've eaten from their menu for take-out but I haven't had the pleasure of visiting the dining room since it reopened. I do recall the wonderful brunch they used to serve. I'll have to get there soon! Thanks for the recommendation.
