"This is one of my favorite restaurants. Unique and standard favorites with a fresh homemade touch. The food is always outstanding-my favorite is the loaded tots. Staff treat you like old friends. Very good old-fashioned service. Only thing they don't really have dessert but we usually have to take home part of our entrees because the sizes are generous. Prices are good for the portion you get too."

"Wow! I honestly can say this place knocked it out of the park and I rate it a 20 out of 10! I heard about this place from a buddy who lives in town and she took me here for lunch. She said everything was great on the menu. So I of course asked our waitress (Karly or Carly not sure of the spelling) what was good on the menu and she named off many items. We ordered sweet tea which will always tell me if a place is worth another try and sure enough it was fresh and delicious. We both ordered the Chicken fried steak both of us got the same sides but I tried the cornbread salad and she had the sauteed mushrooms both with mashed potatoes and Mac and cheese. Yall these meals are large so expect to take food home. The masked potatoes are home made because there are still perfectly soft chucks in them and the flavor is right on. Everything was fresh to be honest and you can tell from our plates at least. The place was packed and the service was quick. Our waitress Carly was such a great help and really light spirited. If I had a question she couldn't answer, she would find someone to answer it for me. Amazing! The place had a vibe of different animal are that you have got to see for yourself. I will not spoil it for you. Very clean and dim lighting. The only complaint I have is there were no pies or sweets available when we visited. Even the people behind us asked for honey and I overheard them say they were out of that as well, so if you are going for a sweet treat ask before you sit. Hopefully that changes cause I usually get a dessert to either eat there or take home. The dessert case was empty. Still giving 5 stars cause I will be back and hope to try something new "

"Friendly small town feels. Wonderful service There are 2 areas to sit, in the front when you first walk in and in the back as they guide you past the kitchen to a quiet comfy back room. Was told by multiple locals THIS is the place to eat. Huge, HUGE portions of food that most definitely could be shared with up to 4 people on 1 plate. I got their Sweet Tea and it was dark and rich as Tea should be and just sweetened perfectly for me. The Megel Queso was unique, different than most quesos. Fish Tacos of 3 HUGE Mai Mai lightly breaded and deep fried with a slightly sweet sauce ( I personally didn't care for the sweetness of this sauce). Husband got a HUGE open faced sandwich that was delicious but the shredded meat was a bit on the salty side for us. This is definitely a destination place in Sheridan. Thank you for having us. Would definitely recommend with the huge Menu options and Friendly service to boot."

"Absolute perfection! We had some fried southern seafood platters that were out of this world delicious. Fried catfish, fried shrimp, fried frog legs with hush puppies, green tomato relish baked beans and slaw!!! What you see on the table with two sweet teas came up less than $43 bucks! Yes! The total ticket. Our waitress was fun and sassy making the whole experience enjoyable. We drove over 35 miles just to try Ladybird and we will definitely be back bringing friends!"

"Was worried about the flavor due to a post I saw. Food was crispy and tasty. Erika is so sweet. Will definitely be back. Lemonade was great catfish is what I had so much food."

"The food is FABULOUS and the servings are HUGE. My husband has the Bacon Chicken Quesadillas, and I had the Parmesan Crusted Chicken. The staff are friendly, the atmosphere is very nice, no fluorescent lights, and cute decor. The Restrooms area looks like an old barn, rough lumber and a tin roof. Everything is top notch! The prices are amazing affordable too."

"We were driving through Arkansas and decided to stop here. There was a gentleman eating at a table near the door that told us "if you leave here hungry, it's because you didn't eat enough." And he was right, you get so much food for a great price here. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. The three piece catfish is much more than three pieces and comes with lots of sides. The house-made ranch that came with the chicken strips was delicious too. The place was busy on a Saturday afternoon but we didn't wait long for a table or food. Would absolutely recommend stopping by!"
