Well everybody knows Walmart. What time to go an when not to go too. Its a great place to shop BUT I will say this, they don’t roll back prices like they use too. For a poor person it’s getting expensive. But all in all it a great place to get anything u need an more. I always spend way more than I needed too.
I love everthing
Quick service
Standard wal-mart with a smaller than usual selection of items. In a dry County so no alchohol to speak of. Always long check- out lines. Hopefully incoming competition will make them up their game.
Customer service really bad. Store was packed. Only 2 registers open.
I love those tiny little tomatoes..I get them to avoid having to cut up an entire fruit only to eat a few slices and have the rest grow soggy in the fridge. When I returned home, eager to wash a few to compliment my turkey sandwich, I realized with horror that every single last one of them were contaminated with mold spores. In my rush I had overlooked the faint grey dust, partly through my blind trust in the multi-billion dollar corporation to provide quality genetically modified chemically ripened Mexican produce. Perhaps if the stock person had been paid a living wage, they would have cared about their position and quality of service enough to have noticed the tainted product and saved me from having to question their every motive…
Called to see if I was allowed to shop without a mask. Informed by the lady on the phone that I could not, that it was mandatory. Informed her that I had a medical condition that prevents me from wearing one. She apologized and said I would have to have one on. I guess Walmart doesn’t need my money. Thanks to Harps and Dollar General for understanding and allowing me to shop
.
I just hate going here lol
It’s a Walmart
2. McDonald’s
Address: 1504 US-67, Pocahontas, AR 72455 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
McDonald’s should use this store as their model for doing business. VERY fast, communicated well. Super friendly!
There was one guy working the floor who ran and opened the door with a friendly smile and greeting every time someone walked up.
The register people were friendly and let us know that they would be making our order fresh so it may take a minute or 2 longer than normal they had a rush on food at the drive up….great! Now I am not worried they forgot me when I am watching others get served.
The Manager checked on me at least 2 when she turned to give others their food and apologized each time.
I left very happy and felt good to know that these people still cared about customer service….
SO to McDonalds Corprate….
What is different about this store:
Greeted everyone at the door with a smile like a friend
No one checked their cell phone for anything the whole time I was there….
They looked at me and talk to me
They made me aware that they knew I was waiting and let me know the times involved.
The food was prepared right, sauces, napkins etc in the bag correctly
The whole place including the bathrooms were clean!
Hats off to them stop in and say hHI from this old yankee next time your in Pocahontas. Perfect place to stop!
They are always super polite and always have my order fresh and correct. I think the only thing that they could improve would be letting the employee working at the second window to smile more but other than that excellent service
Eh
During the ides of this pandimic it’s very important to remember how important fast food employees are! Let’s Face it if you’re American your get the itch for to McD’s at least once a month. Bring back the 2 for 5 and the steak egg cheese bagel.
It’s fast food
They can’t get my orders right and they always tell me they will make it right the next time I go there. I give them my name and they have never made it right so I don’t go there anymore. Not giving my money away anymore.
After going to this McDonald’s regularly for about 5 years, I felt it was finally time to leave a review. While sometimes the food is good, other times if tastes as though it had been sitting out for hours and I couldn’t finish it. The staff is very unfriendly for the most part, likely because the manager herself is not exactly a charming person. Service is also extremely slow most of the time. There has been multiple times I’ve been the only car in line for the drive-thru and it still takes ~10 minutes to get my food handed to me. Overall, if you are craving McDonald’s go ahead and stop by but please try to spend your money elsewhere.
The floors are slick as snot flies everywhere every since McDonald’s been remodeled all locations floors are slick Hardy Arkansas Pocahontas Arkansas Jonesboro Batesville Hardy McDonald’s was so hot it felt as tho air conditioning wasn’t on on Monday 12 of 2019 of evening around 5:30 so uncomfortable August 12 2019
3. Gigi’s Upscale Resale
Address: 2561 N Thomasville St, Pocahontas, AR 72455 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
This is the best priced clothing store in three counties!!!!!
Good value. Excellent location and product

4. Fefe’s Tattooz
Address: 800 Starr St, Pocahontas, AR 72455 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
My wife went and loved it. Excellent players and great refreshments. Service was on point, real nice for a rural setting
Tonight was our first night at the Playhouse. We saw the play Our Town. A friend of ours Allen Smith was in the play. My wife and I were very impressed with the quality of the performances and the Playhouse itself. The staff was awesome. We went ahead and bought season tickets and plan to do so every year. We usually drive to Little Rock to see a play, not anymore. We have found a new Playhouse in our local community and we love it.
Very clean and beautiful inside and out
Nice, for the location its a great addition to the town, and clean and beautiful on the inside, very welcoming yet upscale feel
Great place. Always improving. Passionate about your work.
Needs work
6. Marr Street Productions
Address: 111 N Marr St, Pocahontas, AR 72455 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
Fast service. Great tasting food. Really helpful and friendly service!!
Best taco bell experience I’ve had in awhile
Speedy Service
I just stopped by the drive thru. I’m traveling with my puppy and she was nice enough to give him a cup of water. Short stay in parking lot while we ate our tacos.
No lettuce!!!
I love that Taco Bell has an actual dollar menu where the items actually cost $1.00 instead of $1.29 or $1.49…it really does make a difference when you are on a tight budget. However, the consistency of their product quality is non-existent. I’ve never ordered the same thing and it come out made the same way twice. The customer service is also often pretty poor, the employees very clearly hate their jobs. I really don’t like that they give you brown paper towels in place of napkins and sometimes they will just plain refuse to serve you if it is within an hour or so of close. They also don’t usually have the items to make the full menu and I’ve caught it several times where the pricing on the menu board is lower than what they actually charge you, to which they typically just respond nonchalantly. I’m glad it is in town but it definitely could use some serious work.
Rude and slow.
8. Dean’s Laundry
Address: 1943 US-62, Pocahontas, AR 72455 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
Great place to do laundry, price is amazing spend 18-20$ for 4 machines plus dryer was hot mean it really dry your clothes fast…
Good washers and dryers
Fast service
The only thing I saw was another of flies. But everything was priced good and worked great. Thanks
Well what can you say its a public laundrymat. I hate using laundrymats but sometimes you have to. All i can say about this place is i got my clothes washed. They raised the price on washers to 3dollars.
Found a used syringe on the bathroom floor just minutes after the folks cleaned it.
Only laundry mat in Pocahontas
A little pricey, Very dirty and roaches
9. Palmer Music Company
Address: 1131 Front St, Conway, AR 72032 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
Great guitar tech – good prices and they have what you need in store!!
Really nice staff and a bunch of cool stuff
Even before they were at the present location, they were my go-to trusted place to get guitar work done and teach my kids lessons. Support this local store, they are excellent across the board!
My guitar was in for repairs for about 4 months. Almost no communication was provided about status of the repair work. It’s understandable with Covid making it difficult to have parts shipped, but the lack of adequate communication was uncomfortably disappointing. I don’t blame the young individual who was working on my guitar, but rather leadership who should have provided direction on appropriate and timely customer service communication. It doesn’t matter to me that it would have taken considerable time for repairs. But the lack of communication stating that due to a backlog in parts, and it was just a waiting game, would have been enough. A 30 second phone call every couple of weeks or so to advise a customer that no progress has been made is better than nothing…it would have been enough to have left my guitar there for months longer. The ironic thing about all this is that I really like the store and the people at Palmer Music, so I will most likely continue to purchase my music supplies from them and I hope my experience there was a one-off….
I was looking at electric guitars and they didn’t offer to let me plug any of them in. How are you truly going to know if you like one or not if you can’t hear the sound.
Usually busy because they’re good at what they do!
Go to GUITAR CENTER instead (you can actually have FUN there).
Went in expecting to buy a new guitar on 01/26/2023. The man behind the counter was very unfriendly & unhelpful.
I found one I wanted to buy but I just didn’t really want to give my money to a person who didn’t know how to smile.
Another employee walked by and was even more emotionless than the other guy. I left feeling very unwelcome.
I will not be back.
10. Exxon
Address: 2750 US-67, Pocahontas, AR 72455 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
Well stocked store with fast food but it’s usually not fresh. Clean facilities and friendly people.
This is a great place for gas, restrooms and a quick snack.
Nice staff
Gasolinera muy concurrida y en buenas condiciones.
They have slush puppies!!!!
Chester’s here is horrible. Food was served cold. Small chicken portions. Over-priced. Will not return for food here. Restrooms are clean and staff is ok. Not too friendly or rude…somewhere in between. Easy access to fuel pumps.
They need to teach there people not to people waiting so long
Your employee’s don’t listen. They are too busy talking to 3 people at once and laughing and having a big time instead of doing their job and listening to what their customers are saying. P.S. It’s not right to pay $10 for cold chicken without the sides I asked for. Even when I kept trying to get the employees attention he was too busy talking to someone else to listen to me. I just paid and left. Am I happy and will I return for the same experience? That’s a HUGE NO!!!! PAY ATTENTION!!!!! OR LET SOMEONE HAVE THE JOB THAT WILL. Who orders chicken with two sides of potatoes and pays $10? Me obviously…..
11. The Musician’s Exchange
Address: 2221 Alma Hwy, Van Buren, AR 72956 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
This place has a little bit of everything for music people.
It’s guitars what’s not to love. Good folks here.
the staff is helpful. Just check the things out before you buy, the stuff is used so check it out and make sure it works the way you want it to work.
Nice enough staff. Lots of good inventory.
Dropped my guitar off before Christmas was told it would be ready 2nd week of January. Called 3rd week was told not yet. Called 1st week of February was told it was being repaired. Called 4th week was told it would be ready today or tomorrow. Still not ready. Called March 2nd was told still not ready had not started on it had no idea when they would start on it or when it would be ready. Then the smart ass says if I am in a hurry I could just come and get it he did not care.
Unfriendly staff
Hate it I could not find a clarinet ,:(
12. Guitar Center
Address: 12315 Chenal Pkwy A, Little Rock, AR 72211 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
This is one of my favorite places to go in Little Rock. I stop by just about every time I’m in town to look around. I don’t always buy anything. I like that I am able to check the instruments with no pressure to buy. Staff are helpful when needed but they also stay out of the way too. Thanks to their sales and financing I have bought a lot of nice guitars that I don’t think I would have any where else.
Love doing business there! The staff is always friendly and a big help.
It’s a cool music store for all of our music needs.
HUGE inventory of all things music. Great staff, good pricing. Plenty of room to move while shopping.
Very helpful and knowledgeable staff
The guy sold me a freaking display guitar at full price that I found about 6 months after the purchase when I went there with a friend. I don;t know how long it was hanging on the wall, but it just tells that the service intention is lacking in this place. All the guys look like they have conquered the world with music and are unavailable to help when needed. You just wander around the store and find the girls working there. They are very helpful. Store has good looks, but the attitude is severely lacking. Grow up guys! South will not rise again. Respect others.
TERRIBLE customer-service experience at this guitar center. Spoke with a salesman named Jacob (or Jake, it was easy to remember since we had the same name) about selling them a used amp. He offered me a price that was less than half of what the amp was selling for used at guitar centers all over the state. My amp was in mint condition but he tried to tell me that they would have to sell it at a price well below what other stores were charging. The amp wasn’t the nicest amp on the market, but it was a good amp with 2X12 speakers that was well taken care of. Jake, however, told me that no-one would want it because other amps had better built-in distortions. I told him that this was a practice amp that was perfect for people playing in bands, people in bands typically don’t use the build-in distortion – they have effect pedals. However, Jake told me that people in bands ALWAYS use the built in effects of their amps. This is obviously OBSURD and demonstrates that the staff at this particular guitar center has NO IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
Employees are very rude!
WAY TO EXPENSIVE!!!! I paid $32 for a tuner, I found that tuner on ebay & amazon for $10?? I don’t know how they get away with it? Shop online before shopping there.
13. Shuffield Music Company
Address: 610 Main St, Arkadelphia, AR 71923 , Pocahontas , Arkansas , United States
A fine selection of various instruments, electronics and supplies for the professional songwriter or musician as well as the dreamers who mostly listen. Paul and the others are very knowledgeable on what is not-only in the store, but how to play it. If you want to take lessons to play an instrument, this is the place to go.
I bought a guitar from Paul online and I’m so happy to know it was a privately owned business.
Thanks Paul for the guitar and the excellent customer service. Hope to visit you one day!
Paul is awesome! He is friendly and very knowledgeable about musical instruments!
Great local music store. We have shopped here for years.
Not to bad
Rude
Good place to buy guitars, don’t ask them to fix anything you own uness you want it damaged.
