HI, BETH. HI, RALPH. HI, SLIM. HI, CECIL…read more.. My biscuits and gravy were, well, meh. But then Im from the West Virginia sticks where biscuits and gravy are an art form: huge, flaky, cat-head biscuits brushed with butter, a slight butter crispiness on the bottom and smothered in brown gravy made of a toasted-flour roux. Brown gravy, not this flour and milk stuff that tastes like flour and milk and feels on the tongue like Elmer's glue. What is wrong with this country?! ...anyway... But the real joy of eating here is the chatter of the guests, all seemingly friends who were born and raised here and will die here. I asked when I walked in where the restroom was. "On the right," came the answer from table 6. "There's a sign on the door", came another instruction as I reached for the wrong doorknob. As I rode my motorcycle away, I saw the ubiquitous golden arches on my left. There I would have had better biscuits and tastier gravy, but what fed me wouldnt have been nearly as good. Know what I'm saying?

Ashdown, Arkansas ---…read more "Jim's Place" (but Carol runs it) is a great local eatery for breakfast, lunch & dinner. A real extended family - customers & staff all know each other. A patriotic wall of military members is displayed on the wall. My server "BJ" was pleasant, interactive & professional, chatting with each regular local customer by name. Parking lot for customers is also a plus. My breakfast scramble was tasty-riffic. Other than the lack of counter-seating, "Carol's" as folks refer to it, is a "Run-A-Way Bill" Favorite eatery.

It's is a bit rare that I order beef these days with prices being exorbitantly higher than what they used to be. However that being said the steaks that I've had were cooked exactly as I had requested and I was not disappointed! The onion blossom with the dipping sauce was crisp and tasty! The perfect appetizer! I have no complaints about the service either! The waitstaff that I've encountered here were polite...respectful...and accommodating! Whatever we wanted they were right on top of things to fulfill our every wish! Smiles from those that waited on us were abundant and certainly added to the enjoyment of our meals. No rudeness or disrespect here! I love the ambiance of this establishment with its low and non-glaring lighting which of course sets it vastly apart from the other establishments to which I've been. The feelings of excitement and expectation were in the air along with an acceptable level of background noise which allow for unfettered conversation amongst us. IF the Ironwood Grill of Texarkana, TX were to ever shut its doors, it would indeed be a day of mourning for me!

The staff were more than friendly and knew their craft beers! We tried some new flavors and were made undeniable fans. I ordered a plate of Duck Fat Fries. This is a total game changer! Even more so, dipping them golden fried sticks in Truffle Mayo... as Buford T. Justice would say... SUMBITCH. And that homemade ketchup? So good it made me want to go smack Junior's mama. We also ordered the Crawfish Dip. It was disgustingly scrumpdidallyumtious!!! Pure flavor profile explosion in my mouth. Never had anything like that before. My wife and I also decided to split a Smash Burger and that thick cut bacon with juicy beef patties... damn. One of the most memorable and satisfying experiences I've ever had, and I haven't even talked about the drinks. My eyes sparkled when I seen a Toasted Pecan Old Fashioned on the menu. A must try. ER MA GAWD!!! One of the best I've ever had... everrrrrr! We also ordered the Cinn-Full Cran Hard Cider by Locust... I now have to find this... just have to! My FIL ordered an ice cream treat with three spoons... lol. Everyone had to give it a try. We ended up ordering a growler of the State Street Blonde to go, and it lasted a day. Unbelievable. I'm heartbroken the place is closed, but will forever leave an impression of Texarkana for me. Thank you! As always, Enjoy & Happy Road-tripping!!

While passing through on a road trip, my local friend recommended Pecan Point and I'm glad I went. Located in downtown, you'll find free street parking in front of the restaurant. We were greeted as soon as we entered and the inside is spacious and casual. I ordered the raspberry Chipotle smash burger ($16), peach cobbler, and a flight of beer and cider ($10). What made this burger stand out was the raspberry Chipotle sauce and fried jalapeños! The flight includes four 4oz pours of any draught and mine were Irish red ale, Pecan Pointe ale, bock beer, and apple cider. The Irish red was my favorite and the Pecan Pointe my least. I would have liked the cobbler to be a little more crunchy, but was still enjoyable. I recommend and will visit again when in town.

We discovered them about 8 months ago while traveling through, needing some less processed options than typical eatout food, and tried it. Sooo glad we did! So now that we're in the area again we knew this is where we wanted to go. We even ordered extra meals to take with us for tomorrow! Ignore the lower star reviews bc they have nothing to do with quality (and no, the food is not bland)! If you want fancy highly processed and over seasoned gut burning food, don't go here - go to an impersonal restaurant serving commercial processed foods. Mother Kelley's is true homestyle flavors, meaning it's not fancy but it's home cooked comfort food (real ingredients) like my grandmother's was (mid 20th century); you'll love it!

This is by far the best food I have ever eaten in Arkansas!…read more The restaurant only has enough room to seat a dozen or so folks and you might be tempted to describe it as a "hole in the wall" but that would be doing the food and the people there a disservice. They run a buffet for $9 where the dishes change daily. I went there for lunch twice this week, on Thursday the main entrees were fried chicken, burgers, and pork chops. Today they were cajun catfish and chicken cordon bleu. The vegetables and greens are seasoned extremely well. Both days I went back for seconds!
