We got the Hickory smoke burger and big orange house salad and they were very delicious! I subbed goat cheese for blue cheese on the salad and I must say it was pretty tasty. I also added blackened chicken, which was very juicy and flavorful! The burger was cooked good and was not dry, the BBQ sauce added that perfect flavor combo for this burger! The chips and queso were very good, similar to chilis queso, just more cheesy and no meat! Ended with the pistachio white chocolate milkshake, it was okay! I probably wouldn’t order it again but it was fine! Our server coco was so nice and accommodating, she had a bright personality making the experience even more enjoyable. I will definitely be back, but my only suggestion would be a milkshake flight to try several flavors!! Overall great place!

I stumbled upon big orange while exploring the area near my hotel and decided to try it after reading a few reviews. The ambiance was just ok a bit quiet but it was also early evening. My waiter was great as was the burger and fries. The burger was cooked a perfect med-rare just like I like. I also ordered a bowl of chili which had a nice kick to it but not overpowering. Check this place out if you're in the area!

We enjoyed Big Orange a lot. My husband and two children (15 & 8), and I went for dinner. I had the Farmers burger, and my husband got the Umami burger. Both were filling and so yummy. I also got the truffle fries... which are definitely one of the most delicious fries I've ever had. I couldn't finish my food because I wanted room for dessert. I got a strawberry shake and was not disappointed! Our waitress, Courtney, was excellent! She came around to check in, get refills, and answer questions. She was helpful when we were ordering. Definitely wish we had this closer to home.

Great spot for burgers. They do by default make the party’s medium well so if you like something different make sure to speak up. The shakes are amazing the Oreo one has to be the best. I enjoyed the fries and the fry sauce. I recommend the burger with avocado and bacon but can’t remember the name. The buns are tasty and the service is pretty okay. It’s a little loud in the restaurant but I’m not sure if that has to do with seating location.

The Midtown LR Big Orange was where my daughter wanted to go after a week out of state and struggling to find some good gluten free meals. She was looking forward to their sweet potato waffle fries and they didn’t disappoint. She loves the sauce it comes with as well. She was served a generous portion of salad, which looked delicious and it proved to be too much for her and boxed the rest up for later. The special Smashburger came advertised separate from the menu, so I tried it with gluten free bun and it is now my favorite burger I’ve ever had at The Big Orange. It comes with a double patty and lots of bacon and cheese. The fries are fried in a dedicated gluten free fryer. We started off with the Big Orange Cheese Dip for an appetizer (we were told that the cheese dip is gluten free and the tortilla chips are as well and fried in their own dedicated space but that the house chips are not gluten free). The cheese dip is what I think an Arkansas cheese dip should be. Loved it and loved our time at The Big Orange (midtown)!

Today, we decided to try this local restaurant based on a recommendation from a friend who has lived in Little Rock for nearly 20 years. She mentioned that the restaurant uses local farm-fresh ingredients and raved about their truffle fries and Umami Bomb burger. I’ve never been a big fan of burgers, as they often feel too salty or greasy for me. However, my friend insisted I give this place a try, and after reading the great reviews, I was intrigued. We ordered the Turkey Avocado Burger, the Umami Bomb, the Big Orange House Salad, and the truffle fries. Everything exceeded our expectations! The salad was refreshing, with fresh fruits and goat cheese, the truffle fries were absolutely delicious, and the turkey burger—made with a 98% lean patty—was moist and flavorful. We finished everything without any guilt or regrets. I only wish I could’ve eaten more, but I had to stop myself from overindulging. I’ll definitely be back whenever I’m in Little Rock again!

Ordered a burger, shake and truffle fries for take out. It was kind of a longer wait for a burger (about 30 minutes ) but I bet it's because of how packed they were, it seems to be a great place to visit! The burger was amazing, I enjoyed trying the truffle fries the truffle is indeed strong and the dipping sauce complimented it well. The shake was perfect. No suggestions just a wonderful place to get a burger n shake.

Our waitress, Abby, was amazing and very sweet! I never felt like I was a bother with the few questions I had for her. The atmosphere was super fun and the decor was cute! There was no wait for a table however was a little bit of a wait for the food but it was lunch rush and it’s also made fresh, so it’s totally understandable for me. All the food was great (farmers burger with half and half patty) and the coffee caramel shake was on point. I will most definitely be back!
