Deaton's Four Little Pigs BBQ — Restaurant in Benton

I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and baked beans. I was disappointed with the fact it was only 2 legs, and they didn't have much meat on them, BUT they were really good. I was disappointed because I actually wanted MORE. A leg and a breast would've been more sufficient. The mashed potatoes were instant which was a bit disappointing since this is a small town in Kentucky and I'm always on the search for those hole in the wall places with excellent food. The baked beans were surprisingly great. I also got the blackberry cobbler, which seemed to be a very small helping, but I have yet to eat it (I got my entire meal to go). Seemed like a decent little place and I look forward to trying more things there. I've lived here for about a year and a half and have only tried 2 of the about 4 BBQ joints in town. I wasn't overly impressed but I'll definitely go back and give it another go. They didn't have any to go menus so I took pics of the menu with my phone. The desserts aren't listed on the menu but rather on a board that apparently changes daily (I wanted the peach cobbler but was told it wasn't done cooking yet). I definitely prefer these mom and pop places over commercial dining experiences any day! I should've taken pics of the fried chicken dinner but was so hungry I didn't get that far. I'll take a pic of the blackberry cobbler so you can see how small of a serving it is. I spent $14 (including a $1.60 tip, again it was a TO GO order), so as far as the value/amount of food for that $ amount, it was disappointing (big city that would be a value but come on, this is Benton Kentucky we're talking...

Let me first say this is a Hometown restaurant with dedicated daily customers.So reviews that I see are from their dedicated Customers, more than likely many, many years and generations.But to give this restaurant more than two stars for my Traveling Friends would be misleading and that is not what we are trying to create . Not speaking for all that was with me , just for my review, so here goes ...I ordered pulled pork with 2 sides. When I received my order the pulled pork was chopped and dry, horrid stuff , I believe I was served the bottom of the barrel, instead of just saying we are out of that. I did not send it back, because it should have came out in eatible condition to begin with.The 2 sides were okay at best. Staff was friendly enough. The cook or dishwasher kept coming out and explaining to a waitress the history of Roman's and Vikings all for the entire restaurants listening pleasure.. So if you need some bad food and a side show eat here, if not find another exit , we are marking this one...

Today was the first time I have ever been here I have been told great things about it but I dont know after today. We came in and it started great we ordered got our drinks and everything was looking okay. But thats where I was wrong it took an hour to get our food one of which we didnt get told till part of the food came out that they didnt have. Then I walked away and came back to my drink refilled I was like okay but I took a sip and it was Carbonated now normally this would be a problem except I had SWEET TEA .then I got into my food the mozzarella sticks where over cooked and the country fried stake was cold. Over all I was not happy about my first visit to thia...
