  Having dined twice at this newly opened gem in the Frederica, I am hopeful for the future of Little Rock eateries. Offering foods I cut my teeth on, while providing a comfortable environment, TAE (True Arkansas Eatery) is what Ive been anticipating for a long time. In this common era of eating bland, heart-heathy unseasoned food, I had given up hope of ever eating a meal without bringing my own salt lick to make food more palatable. My first bite of the purple hull peas proved that any self respecting chef stands firm and cooks the way God intended. Except for a few minor hiccups that had more to do with my own food hang ups than anything to do with the kitchen staff, I am ready to declare that this place will have a long and passionate food relationship with this reviewer. Sean, our server both times, was friendly, honest and knowledgeable. Parking was easy and convenient. They are open for lunch, dinner, Sat/Sun brunch & brinner. And best of all, for those of us that loathe breakfast foods, the menu on Sat/Sun is heavy on real food. This is the beginning of a beautiful friendship….

  This is opening week so this review may improve a lot over the next few weeks. Inside the newly renovated Fredricka Hotel in downtown LR, it is nicely decorated and clean. When I seated myself there was 4 or 5 others there yet it took at least 10 minutes to be greeted. The menu is fairly simple that I found challenging to order something I would like as there are many heavy items there. I did order the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and side salad. The food came timely and I was very surprised at the portion. The meatloaf was a very thin and small rectangle with mashed potatoes being a very small portion. The salad was decent size but forgettable. The mashed potatoes and gravy were ok. The red sauce on the meatloaf was tasty and the meat seasoned well.I watched the table next to me order and received a large plate of food, so not sure why the inconsistency. When I was done it had to be al least 15-20 minutes to pay while there were people standing and waiting to be seated. The table next to me waited a long time as well.Hopefully the can work out the bugs…
