THE OUACHITAS — Restaurant in Mena

Went to Mena on a Saturday to visit my daughter and son-in-law also and uncle met us from Kansas City so we had a nice little stop at this bar/restaurant.. I was so excited to see all the beer on tap, which is a big task to keep track of kegs their life and whether or not, they actually still taste any good. So we sat down and ordered two flights one for me, and one for my son-in-law who has been there before, he ordered the fruity beers, and I tried some choice IPAs big Dipa , the Maddox also a stout and Irish red. 1 the English red tasted ok tolerable, the two IPAs were actually bitter slightly vinegar. My aunt tasted those two to see if maybe my taste like was off and she said they were gross. Not hoppy , but bitter just a bad batch I guess. and the imperial stout tasted watery. I was really disappointed! I love IPAs hoppy good , bitter no I’m not hating on this place, the atmosphere was great. Service was good. Keg management definitely needs attention. My advice taste before you buy even taste before you do a flight I like wasted $10 Their brewery made golden beer was good, but that’s all I could say....

Absolutely delicious 😋 My little and I are visiting my folks in Mena & decided to stop by and check it out as we need Wi-Fi for work & school while we're here. Figured we'll see if it'd be a good place to sit for a couple hours to get some work done, and it definitely is. Not only does it smell of clean leather but it is a very relaxing and beautiful atmosphere. We got the chicken bacon ranch pizza, and let me tell you! We live in Southern California, where you throw a stone in any direction, and you'll find an award winning restaurant, but that pizza would give many of them a run for their money! I honestly hope they open one in our area 😁 It was THE BEST we've ever had! My little makes notes of her experiences at places & I've attached her review. If a 12 year old loved a semi-craft style pizza, anyone would love it. The crust was buttery, not hard to bite into, chicken was fresh, ranch killer, all of it so good! Will be back soon for sure! Going to grab one to take on the drive home to California,...

Great place to stop in for tea, coffe, food, or even beer and wine. We stopped by while visiting the area and glad we did. The first time we stopped was because we arrived into Mena late and this was the only place open. We were hoping to eat since we arrived at 9:23 and they close at 10pm. Unfortunately, we were told the kitchen closes at 9:15. We left to find food because we were starving after our drive but I did want to go back and we went back the next day... twice. We stopped in for tea, coffee, and macaroons in the morning. I am very picky about my tea but my london fog was delicious. Later we stopped in again for dinner after mountain bike riding. We had pizza, salad, and beer. Everything was delicious. They offer tons of local beers and have a brewery on site. This is a dry county by the way. The staff are very friendly. The townspeople...eh. They are not wearing masks or requiring customers to wear them right now. I plan to get my morning tea here again tomorrow! It...
