Faded Rose Restaurant

A bit of the bayou in Little Rock!

TL:DR
Almost everything here tastes great, and the service and atmosphere is amazing. Downside is a few items that don't live up to the hype. Avoid the potato dishes and you'll LOVE it!

Details:
Headed here with some work friends on a Monday evening. We got in fairly quickly, and the service was AMAZING the whole time. Quick to refill, good menu knowledge, very friendly.

We got a variety of dishes, and almost everything was incredible and authentic. Gumbo is dark and delicious, spicy and good! Crawfish Etouffee and Shrimp and Grits were highly rated by all. I had the "Paul's Favorite" which was a tasty (although a tiny bit dry) salmon with delicious crawfish rice.

We tried the cheesecake and the bread pudding for dessert. Both very good, but not the best I have had of either.

The only thing I would recommend NOT getting is the French Fries or potatoes. They don't really get any seasoning, and are a bit overcooked.

Overall, worth a visit, and more than one if you get the right things!

This place is cool, def gives off old school bar/dive joint with its old school wood walls and floors. Their food is definitely top notch and a taste of Louisiana. Brought back memories of days in Abita Springs, they even have Abita beer on draft! Sat on the patio, definitely recommend as the weather is nice!

Stopped by for the first time and I got the fried crawfish for an appetizer which I didn’t like and they took off my ticket without me even asking. For 3 meals it came out to about $38 with drinks so it was fairly cheap. Also featured is a side pasta, gumbo (which I’d mostly ate when I thought to take a picture), grilled cheese, and crawfish étouffée (a heaping serving, ate half and brought half home). Staff was quick and polite, kept our cups full. Also very friendly. Had a great time at a decent price!

Great gumbo the roux was dark as my soul. Had the fried green tomatoes which weren't fresh out the grease sadly. Decent bread pudding I'd give the pudding a 6 maybe. Overall good experience. I'll return if I have a chance.

This restaurant being one of the last ones to close on a Sunday evening, I am so glad to have actually dined there. The cuisine was delicious, and the staff are very courteous. I'd return back in a heartbeat!
