Pork's Bar

"A wonderful place to visit with family and friends. Meal prices are very reasonable. Had onion rings from the broaster as my husband has a fish allergy delicious and our usual pizza as well. Completely satisfied with the quality and taste. We will be back."

"I don't even live here & I want to claim this as my local bar! Super bartender, unbelievably friendly drinkers all around us! Broasted chicken & pizza both to die for!"

"My wife and I stopped in for lunch. The staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the prices are reasonable and great food. How do you top that.?"

"Small bar, lots of local patrons. The burgers are some of the best we've ever had. Hit taco Tuesday so tried the cheese dip with homemade chips. Excellent. Old place, very clean."

"I enjoyed Pork's, and on a personal level I give it a 5 star because it met my criteria of friendly people and great food at a reasonable price. That being said, Pork's may not be everyone's cup of tea, because it is in an older building in the "downtown" area of the little town of DeSoto, and the main bar is a dark room (and I believe windowless). If you want a bright, heavily decorated, river-view bar with a custom music mix playing then you need to go elsewhere ( the Great River Roadhouse to the north on hwy 35 is a nice place that fits that criteria, but is more expensive). We were vacationing in the area (a popular fishing and camping destination), and were made to feel at home by the staff and relatives of the owner (who are area farmers). The owner Pork was grilling steaks for an outdoor party during our second visit, and gave us a smoked hard boiled egg off the grill. There is a large U-shaped bar inside, a breezeway with some shaded seating at street level (ashtrays were visible in this area for smokers), and a lower, backyard area with 11 picnic tables. It was quiet inside, with just conversations taking place. They allowed my wife and I to sit in the picnic table area with our dog, and even gave me some water for her. Pork's food menu includes pizza, broasted chicken, and sandwiches. We had a sandwich, but I heard from others that the pizza and chicken are very good. Our pepper-cheese cheese burgers were thick and juicy, with a generous portion of tasty cheese, and my order of beer battered fries was large and nicely seasoned. My wife and I enjoyed it so much we went back for the same meal the next day. On our two visits customers were a mix motorcyclists, vintage car guys, other locals, fisherman, etc.. On our two visits the age group was primary 30s to 50s. I highly recommend Pork's, and I'd be a regular if I lived in the area."
