Breakfast was perfect! I love their biscuits & gravy. My wife loved the blueberry pancakes. We had a terrific waitress! I love this Cafe! It's everything I want in a breakfast spot. Do not miss out! Don't go grab fast food. For almost the same cost you can have a real meal, and service! We love the Skyline Cafe!

While visiting family in Arkansas from Florida, we stopped into Hawkins Variety Store and…read morehonestly...this place was just FUN. My absolute favorite thing in the store was the selection of hats -- especially the hilarious animal hats with ears that pop up and down when you squeeze the dangling paws. They were adorable little girls hats. I was thankful for my great-nephews because if I had great-nieces, we would have spent way more money in this store than intended LOL. Beyond the hats, they had a little bit of everything: old-school candy, toys, snacks, sandwiches, souvenirs, and Blue Bell Ice Cream. It definitely has that classic small-town variety store feel that's becoming harder and harder to find. One of our Arkansas family members treated us to ice cream, and mine was delicious. I went with strawberry in a waffle cone while my daughter chose cherry vanilla. One thing I found both funny and interesting -- all the cone options were the same price. The larger waffle cone cost the same as the smaller sugar cone, which means...obviously go big if you can because you can fit way more ice cream in it for the same cost. Cute little stop with personality, nostalgia, and some genuinely unique finds.

I was in the mood for some chicken tenders and boy were they delicious!! The chicken pieces breading was crunchy. the pieces were huge and the meat inside was moist.

Worst dining experience we have had in the Broken bow/Hotchatown area, I would give 0 stars if…read morepossible. My wife and I were craving biscuits and gravy so we got online and found this place close to our cabin that said they have biscuits and gravy so we headed right over. We sat down and after about 10 minutes we placed our drink order, she got a water and I got a coffee and a water. About 10 minutes after that I was out of coffee and they came over for us to place our order. She ordered the 2 eggs with ham, and biscuits and gravy. And I ordered the western omelette with biscuits and gravy and a pancake. It took us about 20 minutes to get our food once we ordered, but 5 minutes after we ordered the table next to us got their food and we over heard the waitress tell them they ran out of biscuits and served them toast and gravy instead of biscuits. No one mentioned anything to us. By the time we finally got our food I was out of coffee and water and never received a refill of either. They set down our food and said we are out of biscuits and served us toast and gravy. The whole reason we came here was for biscuits and gravy and we didn't receive those. Also both of our breakfast items were supposed to come with breakfast cubes (home style potatoes) both of our plates were missing them. By the time we were finally able to flag someone down to ask about it, they brought them out to us once we were done eating everything else. Overall the food was not terrible, but the inattentive service and the substitution of the item we specifically came in for with out any notice was unacceptable. We will not be returning and will advise against anyone else going.

We went to Hochatown Saloon on a Monday around noon for lunch. It was pretty quiet, so we were…read moreseated right away with no wait. Right off the bat, their draft beer machine wasn't working, so we stuck with water and a soda. After being seated, there was a noticeable delay before our waitress came back. She explained she was dealing with an issue on another customer's credit card, which slowed things down. We started with the fried pickles. They were very good. Crispy, well-seasoned, and cooked right, but the portion felt a little light for an appetizer. For the main, we shared the Oklahoma country fried steak with mashed potatoes and white gravy. That was the highlight. The steak had a solid crust with good flavor, and everything on the plate was done right. No complaints there. Overall, the food was strong, especially the country fried steak, but the service and the draft beer situation held it back some. If they tighten that up, it'd be a much better experience.

Your food usually comes out pretty quick despite it being busy. The interior is a mix of random tchotchkes and a surfer California vibe. It has seen better days and some of the furniture and decor is a bit worn and in need of replacing or a good scrub down. Parking can be a bit tricky when it's busy so you may need to park down closer to the park or the hotel and walk.

The food is overpriced considering the meh quality, but clearly the owner knows tourist options are fairly limited due to the relative remoteness of the location in the area. If you are looking for a "fancy" restaurant in Broken Bow, this is probably the closest to one we saw during our weekend stay, but it falls far short when even compared to basic restaurants in the relatively close by big city of the DFW Metroplex just a few hours to the South West of the area. Stick with camping food. Whatever you bring to town to cook in your cabin / Air B&B will probably be better than what they have here.

This was our second choice after our first had a long wait. So we arrived about 8:45 and we were…read moreable to seated right away. Like most things in Broken Bow, there was a bit of a wait to sit by 9:45. We enjoyed that they have seating for larger groups. There were several 8 and 4 tops available. The omelets were meh, pancakes and biscuits and gravy were good. The bacon was fatty and undercooked and had to be ordered à la carte. The waitress didn't give warm and fuzzy vibes. I'm sure a couple of weeks of spring break is hard on them but we didn't dine here again b/c the food was average and the waitress seemed stressed.

Everything was freshly made, and let me tell you--the biscuits and gravy were out of this world! So delicious they'll send you to another universe. The sausage came in two huge pieces with what tasted like an applewood flavor--absolutely amazing. The eggs were perfectly cooked, and the coffee was just as satisfying. From what I could tell, the place might be run by two sisters, and they're doing an incredible job handling everything themselves. Friendly, fast, and delicious--what more could you want? I'll definitely be back, especially for that gravy!

Although as I'm writing this, he hasn't been back in a while. Ambiance It's a casual steakhouse. The place is not busy for a Saturday night. But food service was slow. Food The quality here has dropped quite a bit since our last visit. Some of the produce on the salad bar was frozen. The croutons tasted bad, the tomatoes tasted like onions. The grilled chicken had a good taste albeit overly seasoned. The accompanying rice pilaf was satisfactory. The petite steak had a good taste, but there was a big section that was just fat. Overall I don't know what's happening here. The overall feeling and vibe is way off. There is an overall feeling of lacking. Lacking quality on the salad bar. True, produce should be chilled. But not frozen. The staff overseeing the salad bar either is absent or just does not care. On the bright side. The music their playing tonight is wonderful. 70's stuff. Sounded very good.
