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!

Where's the passion for good food? Cooking bacon and making gravy homemade is easy. I definitely recommend you give them a try, though! I'll be back to test their hamburgers.

Shady Oaks? More like Sandy oaks…read more Everything tasted like it was seasoned with freezer burn and a light dusting of the Sahara Desert. Dry, gritty, and somehow both cold and overcooked at the same time. I'm pretty sure my meal spent more time in a freezer than in a kitchen. 0/7 would rate.

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. The mashed potatoes and gravy were equally yummy. I took half home and the air fryer heated it up perfectly. There's nothing fancy about the interior, but it was clean and the service was excellent.

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.

We dined here on 2/27/26…read more I had a blueberry lemon drop (custom, it wasn't on the menu), and my husband had a blueberry lemonade. The drinks were okay and very average - it wouldn't keep us away or bring us back! As an appetizer, we had the fried Swiss cheese. It was definitely different and interesting in comparison to your mozzarella, but it was cool to try! I wouldn't reorder. My husband had a 8oz. Sirloin with a side of corn and I had the chicken tenders with fries. The chicken tenders were delicious, but the frozen crinkle cut fries dampened the whole meal - for almost $20 for chicken tenders, I would've loved some house made or hand battered fries! The rolls with each meal were good, but could've used some butter! The steak was well cooked and the corn had good flavor! Everything was mediocre overall, we would likely come back on account of the chicken tenders, but wouldn't run back for anything else.

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.

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.

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.
