Forte's Wingz & Catfish — Restaurant in Beebe

Boneless wings are good but expensive: $6.99 for an order of 8. Catfish dinner is $14.99 for a 4-piece meal with 2 sides, but the portion size is not big enough for that price. I called in a pick-up order and made sure to order “enough tartar sauce for 4 pieces of fish” and when I checked before leaving the drive-through, there were two containers of tartar sauce—not enough. I asked for more and reiterated “enough for 4 pieces of fish” and she handed 2 more containers of tartar sauce out the window but wanted to charge me an extra dollar, so I handed them back. Got down the road and opened the tartar sauce and it was rancid—plus the cole slaw tasted like it had been stored in a container with bleach or soap or something. It had a very strange taste. So I turned around and went back, went inside and the cashier gave me a very hard time, saying “well no one has ever complained before.” I honestly did not care about who had ever complained before (or not), I cared that the food they gave me was not fit to eat. She asked how she could make it right and I asked her to remove the cole slaw and just give me another order of fries (since you only get about a dozen small fries with an order, apparently). She commented that she had been going to give me the tartar sauce until I threw it back at her. I exclaimed “I did not ‘throw it back at you, I handed it back’ to you!” She corrected herself and reiterated no one had ever complained before, and said she didn’t know how the tartar sauce could be rancid as they do keep it in the fridge. I told her to go ahead and taste both items to verify what I was saying. She said she wouldn’t do that. When she went back into the cooking area, there was a repeat customer in there who came over and asked me what was wrong with the cole slaw and when I told him, he said “it’s often warm” and shook his head no like it wasn’t good for him either.

When I got my container of food back, the replacement tartar sauce was rancid too and there were about a dozen more fries added to the box. Not enough to spend $14.99 on.

Thanks anyway, Forte’s—I’ll definitely go elsewhere the next time and spend my money where I get a decent portion size, better service, food that is...

This place is very dirty. After sitting a few minutes we changed or order to fine out so that we didn't have to see anymore details. We thought that maybe we'd order out in the future, but after a couple glances at the kitchen we might not. They clearly hadn't wiped down the tables all day, and I question thier mopping skills. YUK! 1 star for cleanliness. This would fine if they had good food, but it was only alright food. Catfish breading had no flavor, which was odd because the onion rings breading did... And all the sauces tasted like sriracha. They were out of the first two sauces that we asked for, even though they were recommended by the wait staff. 2-3 stars for food. Service was ok. The girl suggested their "best" sauces, but then reported that they were actually out of them that night. Our food took more than 40 minutes to arrive. 3 stars for services.

Besides all that, washing my hands in the bathroom left a burning sensation on my skin. The soap smelled very strongly, like industrial cleaner. Made a "meh" experience into something...

UPDATE: IDK what in the world happened here. I went there today 6/25/25 and I got the fish and boneless wings combo. I asked for 2 sides, double fries. This has to be some kind of joke? There is no way this is a double order of fries because a single order must be 7 fries. The fish taste like dirty catfish and is over cooked. Maybe recooked. The boneless wings are way over cooked maybe recooked as well because they are not the right texture. Idk what's going on here since I haven't gone in 6 years but I don't think I'll even be back. Wing sauce was good tho and the little fries they did give were well seasoned.

This chicken is wonderful and affordable. I didnt get the catfish and i am sad about it(next time!) Great customer service and this is now my goto...
