McClard’s DownHome & Catering

OMGoodness, how things have changed. No sliced barbq meat, the chopped was like from a grinder. No smokestack, just not the same great food when McClard’s was McClard’s in Hot Springs. Fries good, but not a place to look forward to enjoying a meal. Especially for the price you pay now.

I was close by so I decided to stop. I had sliced brisket, mashed potatoes and green beans. The brisket was ok the mashed potatoes had a smoky flavor and the green beans were from a can. The dessert was really good, I had possum pie. The highlight of the meal was my server, Whitney was an outstanding server she is the reason the 5 star rating happened.

We frequent McClard's in HS often. By comparison here is differences we saw. Service was excellent (as expected). The rib dinner has skimpy on fries and they were not the same as one in HS store. The slaw was okay. The tamale spread had something missing, couldn't decide just what. I think it was a little short on pork, and some of what I got was dry. I willing to forget some of this to newness. I'm happy that I don't have to drive 100+ miles thru construction zones anymore. We will be back and hope some tweaking will be done before then.
