Nice people but the food was not edible

Went for breakfast on Saturday, I think it was. Awesome, as usual. Good food, excellent service.

I revisited this Cafe again for the first time in 17 years and it was still the same great food and service I remembered!

Good folk good food fair price

The food.here is amazing! Great prices and friendly service with decent coffee as well. I've been here 3 times and have had to get the hot cakes everytime. They are just too delicious. Girlfriend got the Veggie omelet everytime and she doesn't even like eggs!

Fast, friendly service. Ordered fries shrimp with onion rings. No complaints. Would eat here again.

Friendly home type setting, good service, decent food.

Do yourself a favor and order chicken fried steak you won't be sorry....But.....try to save room for some homemade pie. Amazing Food!! The service was superb!. Just another gem found in beautiful My. Ida!

Delicious hamburgers and fried chicken. Staff was very friendly and attentive!

Great Ribeye on the dinner special. "Big as your head," I'd say.

Ate here twice in the last 3 days, great food! Sliced beef plate special, 21 shrimp, and double cheeseburgers with bacon. Service was excellent, went back to tip our waitress when there wasn't a line on our first receipt, it was that good! Recommend everyone stop through.

Decent food. Underwhelming coffee. Friendly staff. Cool space.

If you’re looking for a restaurant that is complying with the CDC guidelines for Covid-19, this is NOT the place. They have a sign that says masks are required but they don’t enforce it. None of the wait staff wear mask and/or gloves. Condiments are left on the table for multiple customers to use. Food was...muh. Service was slow. Won’t go back.

The first two times I visited was great and I appreciate that waitress we had. This morning we sat there for over half an hour and I walked over just to ask of I could have my coffee and when i sat back down the young blonde waitress spoke loud enough for me to hear her across the restaurant saying I was demanding my coffee and aggravating her amd she was busy. She had an attitude from the beginning and never even spoke to us within that 30 min span. Then she shouted to the manager how I tried to fight her. Never happened. STEVE Irwin walked to our table . He is a large man and got right in my face as well as my friend's blocking us in the boot . I felt uncomfortable amd threatened especially being two women. He completely cut us off in trying to communicate all I did was ask for my drink and he continued blowing it out of proportion I hate it ended this way because I used to love this cafe. as long as he owns this place I will NEVER come back.

The have great down home food. It comes out in reasonable time, plus good prices with good portions to match. They also have some really neat decor, old tools and such that's neat to look at and try and figure out what they are.

This is beautiful little hidden gem of a restaurant! Great food in a old world Italian setting. Plus great staff!

Friendly wait staff and excellent service. Very local feel and good food.

We were driving through and this place was packed so we stopped usually a good sign right? Well it was a good stop I had the hot beef plate with mashed potatoes and a salad very filling so much food for the price. They had the Yankee chicken fried steak sandwich. That thing was crazy good this is definitely a hometown cafe there was some regulars in there playing cribbage on their lunch break Very cozy place, the only thing that would have took it over the edge would have been a hot pot belly stove.😉 Definitely would stop again.

The food was just like home cooked. Best baked beans I have ever had.

Pancakes were raw in the middle. Hashbrowns were greasy and look like goo. Told the waitress (who didn't check on us or ask how things were until she brought the check) who then told the manager. The manager then proceeds to huff over to the booth we were in, look at the plate and yelled from across the room to me at the register "You ate at least half! What do you want me to do about it?" How about get a cook that can cook. Or maybe even learn managerial skills. You don't yell at your paying customer from across the room. Still had to pay full price for raw and inedible food. Never touched the hashbrowns. And you don't know the middle is raw till you get to it! Duh!!!

Poor service, food warm, not all were served at the same time. So while others had finished and were ready to leave some was STILL waiting for their food! Food greasy as well. This place not recommended! I will not return here!

Great great food. Loved it! Get there early!

Fast friendly service and food was delicious.

Good food. Reasonably priced.

Had dinner and breakfast here. All the services was great and food was good.

A great greesy sppon😍 love it

I was really disappointed with this place. I had high hopes but quickly realized disappointment. Server was friendly, but the service was very slow. Water leak stains over our heads. Chicken was over cooked dry and too hard to chew. French fries were overcooked and were hard and had a burnt taste. Not a good lunch at all. The restaurant was practicing social distancing but when I asked for ketchup it was taken from a table that was occupied and not even sanitized.

After several days of camping in the Ouachita National Forest, hiking, crystal hunting and eating my own cooking, I was kind of happy to have stumbled across this little side-of-the-road diner. Food rations at camp was getting pretty scarce. We were down to a bag of beef jerky and a bottle of A1 steak sauce before someone suggested we drive into town and get a decent civilized meal. I ended up ordering a bacon cheeseburger and fries. The ground beef was delicious! Nevertheless, considering our sad state of near starvation and deprivation an Arkansaw ground-hawg (Marmota monax) would have been just as pleasing to the pallet. The fries were crispy and note worthy. The ketchup bottle was full and fresh. Under normal circumstances I'm not quite sure how I would rate this restaurant. From a near death from starvation type situation, I will have to say, I was pleasantly pleased and very thankful to have found this little out of the way place.

Great food and prices. Amazing portions and service. We found this gem while in the area while doing some rock hounding. Will definitely be back when we return to the area

Good food and good service. Don't expect a biscuit after 10:00 give our take...

Excellent food, service was good, very quaint diner will definitely go there again.

Good burger, good place to stop and eat and cool off on a bike ride.

Loved this place!! The food was AMAZING! Very friendly stuff. Perfect place for breakfast. My family and I are visiting from Louisiana. Both of my children said that we will be coming back next time we are in Arkansas! Oh yea and the amount of food for the price was outstanding!!

They are usually very good. They must have had an off day.

Very cool vibe in this place. Classic, small town cafe. The pancakes are as big as your face but you'll want at least two. There's nothing fancy here, and that's exactly how it should be. Waitstaff and kitchen are all very nice and accommodating. Seat yourself, and enjoy.

Great little place. Breakfast was outstanding

Good food. Quick and friendly service.
