Calico County

My little brother recommended we stop by Calico County as we made our way to Tulsa, Oklahoma, and we are glad that we did! When we were seated, we were delightfully surprised with cinnamon rolls- not dinner rolls. And the cinnamon rolls were great! I can understand why they sell so many. We started off with fried green tomatoes, and they were just like the ones from my boyfriend's childhood- thin and covered in corn meal. He ordered the bacon burger while I HAD to try the deep fried ribs. To be honest, I was very skeptical that these ribs were going to be good. I thought they were going to be dry and bland, and that they would give me a cholesterol induced heart attack. I was dead wrong. The ribs were not only juicy but were falling right off the bone with how tender they were. There was bbq sauce within the deep fry as well, which was a great surprise. I LOVED how much pepper was in the mashed potatoes(there was a lot). You can never go wrong with fried okra. My boyfriend's burger was good too, but not as phenomenal as the ribs. I would definitely recommend stopping here if you're in Fort Smith!

They bring you complimentary cinnamon rolls as an appetizer! I thought this place was alright, just not necessarily my style of food. I like to make my plates colorful, whereas it seems everything you order here is going to be fried creating that "plate of beige" appearance. The food is tasty, but I would love to see more fresh vegetables and fruit on the menu! The service was great. Extremely friendly, chipper crew. The atmosphere was impeccable as well! The walls were simply plastered with historical pieces of any and all varieties.

Great place to eat. Atmosphere was very eclectic and charming. They have a wide variety of choices on the menu. Our party had the meatloaf, fried catfish and chicken fried steak. We got senior portions and had plenty to eat. Taste your food before adding salt and pepper, they season the food good. Picked up cookies on way out and they are like homemade...delicious.
