Pork's Bar

The place was packed! Ordered food over the phone. Quickest we have ever had food ready! Pappa said it was the best burger he's had from there. I had the mushroom and swiss. It was one of the better bar burgers I've had. I would recommend this business!

Came here for dinner on New Years Eve with a few friends and we had an awesome night. All 5 of us had the broasted chicken dinner and it was phenomenal and juicy. Reasonable pricing and extremely great and friendly employees and owner (Pork)! We will be back the next time we're back enjoying the river!

Filled with locals, you could tell this was a frequent stop for many. We loved it! Great bartender, nice people, cold drinks!

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.
