Pecker's Chicken

I’m posting this review a little late, but going through my photo reel from our summer 2024 trip reminded me just how much I want to go back. My wife and I stumbled across Peckers by accident, and it ended up being one of the absolute highlights of our visit to Eureka Springs. At first glance it looked like a simple Southern chicken tender spot—something in the lane of Slim Chickens or Cane’s—but the food here is on a whole different level. Imagine your favorite chicken tender place, and then imagine the tenders actually tasting like the best Southern fried chicken you’ve ever had. That’s Peckers. The breading on the chicken is honestly unexplainable—crispy, flavorful, perfect in every way. And everything else we had was just as good. The cornbread was the softest, most perfectly texture

The chicken and the Mac and cheese is phenomenal. Very good. The chicken is very fresh crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The Mac and cheese looks like crab cakes but once you put your fork in it, the taste is very good def recommend. The corn bread was not too good and a lot of butter. The Cole slaw wasn’t good either but everything else was very good.

I’m sure this place is great, but I had a negative experience. The ordering system, I understand the idea behind it. But it make it really hard for customers to give you their money. The order system is real bottle necked. If you don’t come in and order immediately you loose your spot in line and it takes an extensive amount of time to get your order in again. Even after asking multiple times, still no go get in line. The blonde lady at the front I’m not sure has the correct demeanor for all demographics that visit the shop. Didn’t get a chance to get food because I couldn’t get my order in time. Which is funny because I’m president of my organization in here from out of town and we are about to start coming here tri annually for large events. The lady at the front needs to stay at

What an awesome find in downtown Eureka Springs. We were visiting the town and stopped in after seeing the reviews. The owner Hunter greeted us and made the visit awesome! We got deviled eggs, tenders, a pulled chicken sandwich and the mashed potatoes with sage pepper gravy. Everything was fantastic but the gravy was one of the best sauces I have ever tried, definitely get extra sauce for dipping! The tenders were juicy and crisp and everything came out quickly and seemed super fresh. Next time we will definitely try the desserts. You can place your order/pay directly from the QR at the tables, was very simple and convenient. Can’t recommend this place enough, hope to come back next time we are in town.

The chicken stallion was superb. We ordered a side of cornbread and let us tell you it was delicious. We got also a side of mashed potatoes and Cajun corn. The service is awesome. The place is very nice and has nice painting for sale.
