\"\"<\/a>Homer\u2019s has been in Little Rock for a while now and is a place my family visits often for lunch.\u00a0 They don\u2019t serve the type of food I eat normally (\u201csimple\u201d home southern cooking style that is high in calories,) but I tagged along with some family and friends the other day for lunch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If you haven\u2019t been there, it is a small place located near the Little Rock Airport and has a very packed lunch crowd during the week.\u00a0 It\u2019s very casual and serves typical plate lunch fare like hamburgers,\u00a0hot-dogs, chicken, fried fish, etc.\u00a0 Most dishes come with your choice of vegetables (corn, peas, etc.) and a choice of rolls or cornbread.<\/p>\n

On the day I went it was much like I had experienced in the past with a large crowd of people and a simple menu to pick from.\u00a0 Given it was a Tuesday, I had looked for something relatively low-calorie and settled on the special of the day which was Baked Chicken ($6.99).<\/strong>\u00a0 For my two vegetables I ordered corn and purple hull peas and for my choice of bread, ordered the dinner roll.<\/p>\n

Baked Chicken, Peas, Corn<\/p><\/div>\n

The waitress was very nice and attentive even with the large crowd and our food came out quickly.\u00a0 The Baked Chicken was described as being marinated in a low-fat sauce and appeared to be slightly breaded.\u00a0 The breading offsets the low-calorie marinade calories\u00a0but it wasn\u2019t heavily applied.\u00a0 The chicken was a breast, on the bone, with a liberal amount of seasoning applied.\u00a0 I tried to cut into the chicken with my fork but it was too tough to do so without a knife.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t really judge the flavor of the chicken given how tough it was and only ate a few bites.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fortunately, the purple hull peas tasted great and so did the corn.\u00a0 The peas were cooked very well and the corn had a hint of sweetness.\u00a0 I had a small bite of the large dinner roll, that appeared homemade, and it was fluffy with a sweet flavor to it.\u00a0 I easily could have eaten the whole roll but I watch my calorie intake during the week and had to pass.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been to Homers before and the food was better then so I\u2019m not going to base future visits on this one experience.\u00a0 The main problem for me is that I don\u2019t eat high-calorie food during the week and most choices on their menu don\u2019t fit my requirements.\u00a0 If you want a cheese-burger, fried-fish, or other southern \u201chome cooking,\u201d you should\u00a0give them a try.\u00a0 They are very popular with their lunch crowd and you can\u2019t go wrong with many of their items.<\/p>\n
