I had lunch inside a renovated former gas station, and it was not a mistake.
🍽 State of play: Soul food restaurant Marsouls Comfort Food & Lounge in Rogers is serving food many know and love — mac and cheese, cornbread, ribs and pork chops. And doing them right in a casual restaurant that opened early this year.
🤤 What to try: The Nashville hot chicken sandwich ($17) epitomizes comfort food. Wonderfully fried chicken thighs with hot sauce, chipotle aioli, coleslaw and pickles — so satisfying.
- The slider version of this is available as an appetizer.
🤷♀️ Threat level: It's not that spicy, so don't let that stop you. The real threat is how messy it is, but I didn't care because I was only concerned about soaking up every last bit of sauce.
🍤 Zoom out: The po' boy with fried balls of shrimp ($15) is also Saturday lunch material. Or get it with catfish.
🍗 Reality check: Basically everything here is fried or rich food. But I'll say nothing was greasy or left me with that overstuffed icky feeling.
💰 By the numbers: Most entrées are $15-$17 and come with two sides. No complaints here.
📍 Stop by: 11am-9pm Tuesday through Thursday, 11am-10pm Friday and Saturday, 11am-3pm Sunday at 525 N. 2nd St. in Rogers
