The quinoa blend is amazing; truly worth the price. We split the Crescent City chicken, which was savory and sweet, with a honey sauce, served over a delicious blend of grains, lentils, and diced veggies. We got a slice of Company's Coming Pie to go; is it the state pie of Arkansas or is it Possum Pie? Super nice folks, too. And the view, the view! The slip of a deck off the back makes the visit. read more

Cliff House Inn - The view from the back deck! - Hotels Near Me - Jasper, Arkansas

Came here as a teenager yrs ago with family, was overjoyed to see it is still alive and well & had the privilege to take my own boys. Insane viewpoint and delicious home-style meals, what more could you ask for especially if you're far from home and don't know where to eat comfortably. Added plus was the hummingbird feeders that were near some windows next to tables, what a special memory it was to be able to watch the little hummingbirds flutter around a few inches away! Kids were squealing with happiness. Sweet tea was refreshing as expected and you HAVE to try the mouthwatering fried green tomatoes with homemade ranch dressing. HEADS UP I've posted a pic of the hours they had on a window, not sure if that is permanent but they said "Closed on Monday's & Tuesdays". We liked the little gift shop as well, fun trinkets to take back home. Service was kind as well. read more

Such a cool spot with a beautiful view! They have a small gift shop inside and then dinning with a view. It definitely has a more quaint and homey vibe inside. The menu had a good amount of options. I decided to get the jumbo gulf shrimp and was a little nervous on how good it would be, but I was pleasantly surprised. I really enjoyed the shrimp and it was a good serving size for the price. The chicken breast strips were also good and did not disappoint. Our group was a little disappointed that they stop serving burgers at 4:00pm, so something to be attention to. Overall, we enjoyed the experience and it's truly a one of a kind spot! read more

My friends and I stopped in for lunch and enjoyed the fantastic views of the Arkansas Grand Canyon. The food was absolutely amazing! The burgers and the strawberry chicken salad was finished by everyone at the table. The coconut cream pie and the companies comin' pie was superb!! We highly recommend this small restaurant! The service was great too even though they were short staffed that day. read more

Nice view, not amazing, but nice - and you cannot sit outside to dine, fyi. They brought a flat terrible tasting "carbonated Perrier", don't know whose fault that was but yuck. When the waitress brought out my salad with her long fingernail (you know that's one of the dirtiest parts on our bodies, right?) sticking into the bowl, I couldn't stomach it and didn't touch it (and that doesn't even count for the one rotten cherry tomato in it). My shrimp was overcooked. I know that's easy to do, but geez, you're a restaurant and should know how not to! My friend ordered the waffle fries, of which there were, like, 10. read more

OK, so I traveled with a friend of mine who did some research ahead of time and said we had to go to this place to have the Arkansas State pie, which is named companies coming for dinner pie. So I am a chocolate girl. If I'm going to use calories, wasted calories on some, it better be damn good. For me to switch from chocolate to something fruity, well, it better be even better than damn good. This was!!! the crust was like a sugar cookie and had some kind of nut in it that added to the deliciousness. The only thing I could detect in the pie was pineapple, but I could've licked this off a turd and probably been happy. read more

Great food. Even better view! A tourist must! Do not forget your camera! Their signature Company's Coming Pie I highly recommend.

Great view, great food and great service! Be part of the country! Overlooking the Arkansas version of the Grand Canyon.

Getting close to closing for the season but had lunch here yesterday. Amazing view as always. My wife had the catfish and I had the chicken sandwich and service was great. Need to make time to stay overnight in one of their cabins or units. read more

Besides the view, not sure what the hype is. Everything on the menu is fried and it wasn't that good. They do not serve any alcohol.

The owners are very nice, and might know how to run a gift-shop, but this restaurant is a disaster. Expect to wait about an hour to be seated. Once we were seated, we watched the overworked waitresses hustle back and forth without approaching. They took orders and brought drinks to two nearby tables seated well after us. After 20 minutes, she eventually responded to our waves and took our order. Then the real wait began. When we politely asked for an ETA on our appetizer; she angrily said "It'll be ready when it is ready!" Of course I explained that if it didn't come before our food, please just cancel the appetizer. Then she was really miffed, as if that idea was crazy. My Chicken Fried Steak was the size of my ramekin; perfect for a slider. It was easily the smallest CFS we've ever seen. We eventually left hungry. The owner told us they have no control over the wait-staff, and they are "struggling like the entire country - it is terrible all over." False. The economy is bad, and good staff is hard to find - but he had 3 people behind the counter to work one register the entire 'meal.' Two of them needed to help serve. We eat all over the world, and this was the worst dining experience ever. The Cliff House is sold every few years; maybe it is time for new owners. The view is 5-star, the food is about 3-star (average), but the service is 1-star or less. read more

Cliff House Inn - Smallest Chicken Fried Steak I've ever seen. I left hungry. - Hotels Near Me - Jasper, Arkansas

Second night in Jasper we headed over to the Cliff House inn for some dinner. The parents ordered the catfish which looked really good, but I opted for the steak. Fried green tomatoes were fried perfectly and had that nice tart flavor. Definitely a great option for an appetizer. Atchafalaya steak...so on the menu it said filet... what I received was a very think cut ribeye. Slightly over cooked. I wanted medium, but never the less. The steak was smothered in a Cajun cream sauce on top of a bed of very tasty boudin! The dish as a whole worked well. I love some good boudin! Looking forward to my next trip up to Jasper to try something new. read more

Very rude. We walked in party of 8 at 10:15 on a Sunday morning and we got looks, head-shaking and huffing- puffing from the man behind the counter. After waiting a few minutes, our table was sat. After another few minutes with barely any other patrons in the restaurant we were greeted by our waitress. We felt so unwelcome. We asked if they didn't like big parties. She huffed out that they were only serving breakfast for 10 more minutes. That's when our party all stood simultaneously and left the restaurant. Ozark Cafe was wonderful! Try them if you're in the read more

What a view!!! We walked out on the deck while we waited on our food(which came quickly). We looked at the stunning view and watched the hummingbirds while we ate. The food was a bit pricey but well worth it. read more

Fantastic spot if you want to eat with a view. All of the apps and entrees were delicious, and offered a good mix in each dish. The desserts were alright. The Company's Comin is supposed to be the "state pie", but I don't think i'd recommend it. Very cute spot for a meal and a pic. read more

Fantastic food with a Cajun theme and a beautiful setting overlooking an Ozark valley! I chatted w the owner who is a legit chef from NOLA and everyone that worked there was so genuinely nice. Cool gift shop for rock hounds and Tshirt seekers read more

Came here for our anniversary brunch while spending the weekend in Jasper. This is the place we will come eat whenever in the area again - SERIOUSLY!! I got the HAMLET, which is a slab of country ham topped with sautéed onions, mushrooms, and tomatoes topped with melted cheddar. HOLY MOLEY! I'm not a big fan of breakfast eggs ‍ so this was PERFECT and now I will be trying to replicate at home. My husband got the chicken fried steak and it is ABSOLUTELY THE MOST AMAZING CHICKEN FRIED STEAK WE'VE EVER EATEN!! Can't wait to plan another weekend visit to see what dinner is like read more

No wait sat right down on a Saturday evening. I've read complaints of the wait. Appetizer was not worth $10 but it won't ruin the place for me. The waitress was perfect. She recommended the blackened sea bass and she was correct. It was delicious and a huge portion I couldn't finish. read more

What a great restaurant and a pleasant experience! Being seated by the window with a great view an added bonus! The Australian sea bass was delicious and their unique Pistolette rolls very good! Wasn't overly impressed with the fried mushrooms, but everything else was great. Service was excellent. Wished I was closer to go back often! read more

The view breath taking and the food is excellent. I opted for the chicken fried steak. It was small portion compared to others, but I still couldn't eat it all. The wait staff is a disaster. I was seated and given no drink. The food came and she noticed she had forgotten the drink. The drink was never refilled. Since I'm a single I usually tip 50%. I left the standard 25%, which was generous, since I was pretty much ignored. read more

Cliff House Restaurant is something to see! Great view of the Arkansas Grand Canyon. Their food was absolutely delicious. We had the fried catfish dinner that came with fries, coleslaw, jalapeño cornbread, and homemade tarter sauce and we also had the burger with pork )can't remember what it was called). Everything was delicious. It was definitely on the pricier side, but worth it! read more

The restaurant with its spectacular view of the Arkansas Grand Canyon was nothing short of AWESOME! LOVED it! The co-owner Michael is so warm & welcoming. Our server was great! However, the cabin was not at all what we expected, especially for $160 for one night. It was a cold, cold night. The heat was not on. It took awhile for the cabin to reach a comfortable temperature. We appreciated that the cabin was clean with a lovely view. It is just EXTREMELY dated. A few upgrades will work wonders for the space! We also noticed that the bath towels smelled like cigarette smoke. While we will absolutely return to the restaurant for chicken & waffles, we'll find lodging elsewhere. read more

We had a great meal at the Cliff House Inn. They close at 6:30 pm on the weekends for dinner so come early and make sure to get the State Pie of Arkansas--Company's Comin' Pie. read more

My wife and I stayed at one of their cabins (Wolf). It was affordable, comfortable, and well appointed. They made sure that everything you need was there and it was very clean (especially for a cabin). The owners were very attentive and helpful and so enjoyed a nice conversation with Mike. We will certainly be back! read more

View was great, food was not great. Had a hair on the sandwich, could have done without that.

It's hard to even know where to start - the whole experience was memorable and amazing! The location and the views are breathtaking - I've never seen a view like this before! The gift shop is filled with treasures, and also with the spirit and personality of the owner. Okay - on to the food. We had a party of eight, five of us lifelong foodies and/or restaurant professionals- and everyone at the table was completely wow'ed by the experience. The food was delicious, perfectly presented, and every person at the table was talking about how good it was, sharing portions, and enjoying the experience thoroughly. My personal favorite was the razorback burger - succulent smoked pork, perfectly seasoned and cooked patty, and sauce that was out of this world. If you have the chance to visit, it's so very worth it. I know that we'll make it a point to go back - 10/10 stars - best food we had on a vacation filled with great restaurants. read more

The sea bass was a-mazing! We also ordered the melt in your mouth rib-eye and delicious Cajun shrimp. Not only are the views picturesque, but the food is definitely worth the drive-- and the money! We saved room for dessert! We ordered the chocolate chip cookie, coconut pie as well as the apple pie.... All delicious! They were understaffed, like everywhere nowadays, but our waitress has a smile and took very good care of us! I highly recommend everyone to go to cliff house inn. read more

Had the waffle breakfast sandwich and the Hamlet. Really enjoyed both. Using the country gravy to dip bites of the hamlet in was really good. And a bit of hot sauce was great but not needed. We also stayed in the Eagle cabin has a wonderful sunset view and is a really cute, private, cabin. Everyone was so nice and I can't recommend staying here enough. Multiple hikes in reasonable driving distance. I recommend AWL vehicle to get to trails without worry. read more

There's nothing we didn't like about this restaurant. Food, service and the view all were worth driving three hours for. I'd do it again!

First off, Customer service was an issue. The wife/owner was a very nice lady. Very pleasant. The husband / owner is arrogant, rude, and full of himself. The rooms were clean but sorely overdue for renovation especially the bathrooms. The food at the restaurant is undersized portions and over priced. The "special" was 50.00 including tax and tip per person. It was a one and done for me , mainly because of the owner. If I'm helping pay the bills don't bitch at me for trying to return your dam key before I left. His attitude was uncalled for. It should have been, "how was your stay"? , thank you for staying with us. read more

Last time I ate at Cliff House was 5 years ago and I've sung their praises ever since. After yesterday's experience I can only say it's "mediocre." As we entered the gift shop the first words out of the owner's mouth were, "Don't be upset if service is slow. You can't hire help around here anymore!" Okay, we had plenty of time but, in fact, the service was very good. It was the difference in the food that was disappointing. Catfish was too crisp, the grilled chicken was overcooked and dry and the chicken fried steak was, as I said, mediocre. Vegetables were bland..... not worth another visit for us. read more

Beautiful views, bad service (we were the only ones there and our waitress did not pay us much attention or seem very happy to be there), decent hamburgers, but messed up our order. read more

I stopped here on my way from Little Rock to Branson. If you crave a side of Trump fascism and hatred with your very average but over-priced burger, boy...is THIS the place for you. They openly (and loudly) discuss their ignorant political views in front of customers. I guess they thought my camo shirt and my wife's plaid top invited them to speak openly. Everyone who worked there looked miserable, stressed and unhappy. There was an actual heaviness in the air from the time we walked in until the time we were thankfully finished and free to explore far less sad, and frankly far less "offensive" restaurants in Eureka Springs and Branson. The employees radiated an energy that seemed to suggest it is obviously very difficult for them to get out of bed and face another day. But I did feel sorry for my specific server. Again, if you want to start your vacation with a dose of anger, ignorance and incompetence (or if you're one of the 35% insurrectionist cult), by all means put this place on your bucket list. Great view though!!! I do have a recommendation. Next time you drive up to the Ozarks, take 65 instead. There is a FANTASTIC little unexpected cafe in Leslie called Skylark Cafe. The food is amazing. The atmosphere is great. And you'll leave with a feeling of lightness - like it ADDED to your overall Ozark experience. Unlike the Cliff House which makes you feel like you want to turn around, drive back to Little Rock, crawl back into bed and hope tomorrow never comes - just like the vibe their employees give off. I have no idea what the political affiliation is of the Skylark Cafe owners. And that's EXACTLY what I expect from a business I'm giving my money to. Or in Jasper, try the Ozark Cafe. It's clearly a very conservative kind of place - but they don't serve it on the menu like it's a side of pinto beans and I've always enjoyed my stops there. THEIR food is always great. read more

My daughter stayed here for a wedding in the winter when they rented the entire place. She loved it. So when we tried to get away for a couple days we decided to try it. This place will close in 2 weeks until March. The owners and staff seemed really burned out so that is good. We had a minor issue with our room which was fixed quickly. No big deal for us but we were made to feel it was our fault. Rooms are old rustic but extremely clean. A safe Covid getaway. We hear the view is fantastic of the canyon. It was fogged in rainy for us. The food at lunch was plentiful. The ham and chicken were excellent. The sides were good. Service was OK. Our server wore her mask under her nose. Tables were separated properly. Then at 7am the kitchen which is above our room geared up. At 8am the owner came down to do inventory. He talks loudly and yells up to the kitchen. We think he is next to us. Then he started talking politics where we could hear. We are not Trumpers and really wanted to get away from that too. So much for a peaceful morning. I think in the spring and summer when the owners are more in an innkeeper mood this could be a nice stay. We will get a cabin if we come back and see if it is quiet. By mid-Fall they are ready to take a break! read more

A gorgeous view of the Grand Canyon of the Ozarks. It's definitely worth the stop. There's a back deck eating area that looks out over the canyon. I can't speak for the food as the wait was too long for us, but it smelled good and we wish we had stayed. They are known for their pies. Pull over if you're on your way into the Ozarks National Park, on Highway 7 just south of Jasper, for some great photo opportunities and stop at the small gift shop. read more

The Cliff House is such a great find! We recently visited for lunch on a Sunday with a group of 12. Obviously, it is in the middle of no-where and it is one of the only sit down restaurants in the area. It is certainly worth the drive out of town simply for the view! It is breathtaking. The restaurant is perched on the top of a large canyon. The entire restaurant facing the canyon is windows, so you can look outside while you eat. They also have a huge balcony patio expanding the entire length of the restaurant, with nice rocker benches to sit on. We called ahead and let them know we were coming with a large group. The Owner, who answered the phone, was very accommodating and said he would save us a table. Upon our arrival, he greeted us friendly, welcomed us, and explained the daily specials. Obviously we were with a large group, so I am just going to review the food that my husband and I ordered. It was so scrumptious. We always try to split two entrees so we can sample different things. He ordered the fried cornmeal catfish with coleslaw, fries, pinto beans, hot water fried cornbread, homemade tarter sauce and green tomato relish. Omg! Soooo good. The catfish was very hot and freshly prepared. The large platter came with 5 pieces of fish for $14.99. The pinto beans had ham hocks in them and were the best I have ever had. The coleslaw was lightly dressed and still crisp, the cornbread was crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, and the tarter sauce was the best I have had. It was laced with fresh dill and was well seasoned. They even had jalapeno ketchup for the fries! They really thought of every detail. I ordered the chicken fried chicken, which came with homemade cream gravy, mashed potatoes, and a daily veggie (green beans) with an angel flake biscuit. Everything was great. The chicken was a decent size of meat, and was well seasoned. The mashed potatoes tasted freshly mashed. I really enjoyed it. For dessert, I ordered a piece of the lemon buttermilk pie, which was creamy and tart. It had the texture of lemon curd and was not overly tart or sweet. My husband ordered a unique dessert called Company's Comin Pie. It was a meringue pie shell with nuts and crackers in it, and filled with fresh whipped cream and pineapple. So tasty! I have never had anything like it. It was not too sweet, which I expected it to be. The rest of our table seemed to like their desserts too. All in all, if you find yourself in the Arkansas mountains, Cliff House is a great place to go. There wasn't too many review written about the food, so hopefully this detailed review helps. I am giving them 4 stars instead of 5 because the service was a bit on the slow side but it seemed to be because they were busy. read more

I had the chicken piccata and it was sooo good, not your traditional piccata had a small kick, but so delicious! Of course we had the company is coming pie which also was very good. We were going to go back the next night to try more of their desserts but they are not open for dinner. read more
