Ladies and Gentlemen, I have been to couple of their locations, one in Cave Springs and the other in Little Rock. And I can say without any doubts that my experience has been more than fantastic. The Cave Springs location is almost literally on the green since it is right by the golf course overlooking a small lake. Actually, It looks like a pond but… No ifs and buts… its a pond. However, it is a beautiful view though. The place serves eclectic dishes from various cuisines. Eulogy 1. The chef/owner«De Man» is a perfectionist and y’all the know the benefits of it ;) 2. Guests can play Wii all night long. 3. Non-profit organization. 4. You get to walk the dog. 5. You get access to the kitchen and work with the Chef. 6. International guests. 7. Premium Quality Wine. Dyslogy 1. Does not accept plastic. 2. Mobile place. 3. Just can’t think of any anymore. A few of my favorites at this place include complete southern style breakfast, Spicy Chicken Biryani, Moong Dal curry, Blackened Tuna steak, Grilled veggies, Hot guacamole & chocolate hobnobs, Red Hots for dessert. The guacamole is one of a kind. I consider the chef/owner as one of the top 10 people in the United States who really understands Southern Indian food. I can say with pride that I can use all the synonyms for the word«delicious» in my encomium for this place. And folks, the grill just got upgraded at the Tavern and I can’t control my drooling. More on the Little Rock location coming soon.

I dined at the Laredo during a visit to Little Rock during a visit over the pond to see old friends(this was before they changed locations). I thought the food was of a high standard and the service was very warm and friendly. Value for money, the ‘Raydo can’t be beat really, although I am sad to see they move locations so frequently as it makes it difficult for out of town visitors.

I’ve been to all of their locations: Little Rock, Cave Springs, Dallas, Montrose, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Boston, Conway, Albequerque, Phoenix, and St. Louis. The menu and service is varied and totally ignores local customs, preferring the owner’s sensibilities above all others. Questions of presentation are ignored entirely. The selection is quite consistent: ecletic, and selected without regard to seasonality. However, the beer, wine, and liquor selection is usually of high quality though not wide variety. Perhaps this is representative of the industry though. The price is always reasonable, and BYOB is always welcome, with no corkage fee imposed – though the chef sometimes insists that you share with the staff and other guests. The frequent change of locations is definitely an inhibiting factor, as other reviewers have mentioned. I think that the owner would prefer to stay in one location, but is usually forced to move to pursue his/her primary employment… the restaurant is just a side-line…which actually explains a number of comments from other reviewers. Despite all of that, I’m happy to choose this establishment whenever I find myself in the same city(which happens more frequently than chance can explain). I should also add that the other patrons are all very good natured, and are quite determined to have a good time. You could hardly pick a place to enjoy the company more.

While I haven’t visited this location, I have been to their Little Rock venue, and given the staff is the same, I would expect a similar experience, except perhaps for parking. First, the positives: — as you can tell from the photos, this restaurant is inmate-friendly — you don’t ever have to worry about dressing up — the martinis are generally quite good, and the price can’t be beat — the food is definitely a good value for what you pay But I’d certainly stay away for a number of reasons: — the restaurant is inmate-friendly — even if you didn’t specifically request charred food you’ll get it — in times of inclement weather, open-air dining isn’t as nice as it sounds — it’s in a shady section of town, and neighbors tend to change frequently, often adding their own dimensions to the dining experience And finally, even if you learn to like the food, and can tolerate the family-style guests, chances are good that Laredo Tavern will have changed locations — AGAIN.
