It’s All About Mak “N” It

find a friend, order the maniac burger basket, split it, and send me an embossed thank you card. (yes, i said the MANIAC burger, not the monkey burger… the monkey burger is for girly men and babies).
it will change your life.
the lady that runs this place is the coolest lady on the planet.
she appreciates a good smart ass, so she and i get along great.
if you are lucky, she’ll have some freshly made fried pies. get the PEACH!
people that complain about the atmosphere are missing the point.
this is a hole in the wall burger joint that makes the absolute best burger in the state. no competition.
and i eat burgers everywhere i go.
if you are one of those silly hipster people who like an egg washed brioche bun on your locally sourced grass fed beef burger, then GTFO. you are not welcome here.
if you want to have the most amazing burger on planet earth, then join us.

Food is 5 stars! Place needs a bit more comfort and modernization. It’s off a back-​road, hidden in a small shopping strip next to a laudrymat. Pretty hood if you care, and it’s late in the evening, I’d think about that.
However, customer service was friendly and attentive. We felt pretty welcome. We were the only diners there, one other person watching the football game on the big TV. Chairs are the old McDonald’s style metal swivels, anchored to ground with table. IMPORTANT: The name to the place has changed to just «Monkey Burger.» This threw us off a bit because the front of the building and the address didn’t match the Unilocal posting, but we verified it used to be «Just Mackin it», or whatever. What matters is that it’s the home of the Monkey Burger and we found it.
Since we drove here per other Unilocaler’s recommendations to try the Monkey Burger we ordered two, one with a side of fries and one with a side of onion rings. Boy, did NOT disappoint!!! Meat was juicy, flavorful, and although the patties were HUGE, they were not undercooked or overcooked, but perfect. The Monkey Burger comes with two patties, we ordered ous with cheese. It had mayo and pickles and red onions, and what else I’m not sure, but it was delicious. I wasn’t that hungry after 10 hrs on the road, so i figured i would share mine with my daughter, we had no idea it would be so huge!!! Because it was so huge, I only was able to eat a quater and my daughter also. We literally had over half a burger left and we were stuffed! The fries and onion rings were also cooked to perfection! They were crispy, and not soggy or dripping grease. Flavor on the fries was on-​point, they were lightly battered with something and seasoned, very good! My onion rings were perfect and had real onions inside, not the typical batter-​only rings. Truly delicious. They do not have fountain drinks, only canned or bottled drinks, but they had DP and Coke, so we were set! I saw a sign that read they now had veggie burgers, I’d love to see what Mak did with a veggie burger! :-0
Our total was about $ 18 for the 2 combos. Worth it.

Real talk. Get the Monkey Burger. Don’t know how they do it, but you seriously won’t be disappointed. I came to this place for the first time on a film scout, and the vegetarian who with was me would break his meat silence only for the Monkey Burger.
‘Nuff said.
Oh, the fried chicken is on point, too.

This Dive makes the Best Burger you will ever have. I don’t know what they season the meat with but the patties are delicious and juicy. I had the requiste Monkey burger with a side of Onion Rings and a Coke.
The monkey burger is almost too much to eat, but was soooo good i couldnt stop. The ORs were crispy and not greasy.
Small, independent or family run places like this seem to always get it right and it makes for a more rewarding dining experience.
Next time i fly in and out of LR I have to stop by.

Best hood burger in Little Rock ! Fries are also pretty good. Place isn’t very nice I definitely wouldn’t want to eat inside. But the burgers are off the chain and worth the chance of getting robbed.

It sounded great but after 37 minute wait for our food we both decided it was not worth it. Close to airport but you better have lots of time. Normal cheeseburger and fries with a can coke. Nothing special.

I’ve had a buddy telling me about monkey burger for several months. I was finally able to go today. This burger is the real deal!
There are plenty of new burger places in the Little Rock area, and all of them have their bandwagon fans. If you are interested in a real burger this is the place you need to go.
The prices are phenomenal, the food is even better. I had the Jumbo cheeseburger combo. It was $ 6.50.
The special of the day today was frito chili pie. I did not try it but it smelled delicious. It was $ 2.50. You did not read that wrong and I did not leave out a number. It was $ 2.50 for the special.
Long story short, it was totally worth the wait. I wish it hadn’t taken me so long to get there the first time, but it will not take me so long to get back again!

The Monkey Burger is an awesome burger. Definetly the best in the LR area hands down.

This was one of the best burgers that I have ever had. If I could catch a plane to Little Rock everyday just to get this burger I would.
I have a habit when traveling to seeking out the best burger in the area that I am in. I was not disappointed. This establishment is only a few miles from the airport. It is not a luxurious Suburban eatery but it has large seating area. You order from the counter and pick up your food when it is ready. Most people take out.
There was a long line when I walked in but it was well worth it. Our nephew recommended that we try the burger named after the restaurant. It consisted of 2 hand crafted patties that were so large that my wife and I decided to share one. This wasn’t just a large meat sandwich but the burger was very well seasoned. When I took my first bite I knew I had found a winner. I didn’t try anything but the burger. I really hated that I didn’t find this place until my last day in Arkansas. But until I get back it will always be in my heart,
