Stopped in here after passing it a number of times. First, the server was pleasant and she had her hands full. The food?, my wife had scrambled eggs and hash browns, she said they were hot. I had eggs, home fries and pancakes. Eggs were cooked to my liking but the potato's looked like they were from the grease pit and cold. The pancakes were ok and again not hot. The prices are low compared to other places. Now, if I owned this place I would be absolutely embarrassed at the run down dirty condition. It appears that it hasn't been cleaned in years. They have enough junk sitting around that it has a layer of dust. The popcorn ceiling is flaking and some lights are not working. The carpet is gross. IF YOU TRAVELING ON I30 DO NOT STOP AT THIS PLACE. I can overlook many things but the laziness of the owner/manager is something that is disgusting. Nope, I will not be returning.

This is so much better than Cracker Barrel. It only took us 15 years to stop in. They never seemed to be open when we were heading home. Glad we stopped by this morning. Great spinach and bacon omelet and sausage benedict. Very friendly staff.

Don't let the outside scare you off. Our food was . The coffee was just right also. Not too strong and not too weak. They even sell the coffee they use My husband had the , ham and pepperjack cheese sandwich. It was on Texas toast with hash browns. I had a omelette with sausage, mushrooms , and . The taste was great. Not greasy. Our waitress was amazing blonde lady with lots of energy. She kept our coffees filled. We are heading back to Indiana from a weekend in Hot Springs. It was our 25 th Anniversary. When we travel we try not to eat at chain restaurants

Super fast service and the waittresses are friendly. Kitchen is average speed, not bad for this busy crowd - but seriously good wait-staff! I lived my Corned Beef Hash &!Eggs, and it was less than $9 with toast! My wife had Eggs, Bacon, and Pancakes - also tasty. Soft drinks & coffee. Good breakfast basics, with a few interesting options. But nothing odd; just solid diner food. Like it, daddy!

Tim’s Tavern - Bacon Cheeseburger

The other BBQ place we went to was out of brisket, so we followed the path to Tim's Tavern BBQ…read more When you drive up it looks like a dive bar with a fabulous covered patio. ***Warning: Results may vary*** There are no accidents. We were meant to experience TT BBQ. Let me just share that this was an experience. We walk in and there are diner style dinner tables with 2 families filling up many spaces, a date night couple and a lone diner. There is a small bar with stools and a special spot for "Mr Murray". (Reminded me of Norm from CHEERS. Mr Murray was not there) I loved that the TV's were off... otherwise I don't think it would have happened the way it did. The server was welcoming and friendly just like a family member you hadn't seen in a while. She answered our questions and was hustling between taking out HOT food to patrons and giving us the scoop on the menu. (Only server there and she kept up with all of us)! We decided on Beef Brisket and Jalapeño Cheese Sausage with 2 sides. Excellent choices, brisket was lean and tender, jalapeño sausage did not disappoint. Bbq sauce was tangy. Our sides were simple and flavorful. We were so hungry, we forgot to take a photo before we dove in. We were talking with the staff and other guests enjoying their meal. One suggested the Banana pudding for dessert and they were correct, it was soooo good. (Later learned it was made by our server, Sarah. Heart Emoji. It felt like grandma's kitchen and the family was gathered and sharing a meal. No strangers. Several take out orders came and went. Tim opened this place 2 years ago to bring good BBQ to the smaller local scene of Benton. (Plus downtown Little Rock is no longer a desirable destination). It may be off the beaten path but so worth the extra couple miles. Had a nostalgic moment when I saw the Horse Ride. OMGoodness so fun, how many times I would beg my daddy to let me ride one of those anytime I saw one. Now I am too big, but loved the memory. There is a great big outdoor patio covered over have where they have live music and events. The look out on over green grass lawn and forest is beautiful. This place is a "Hole in the wall" type but excellent in all areas. Service 5-Stars Food 5-Stars We stayed much longer due to great conversations with the other guests and family feeling. Hopefully you experience the same. Oh, did I tell you we were just visiting? :)

The best barbecue hands-down I've had in Arkansas, and we've had a lot of it! The most hilarious…read morething is, Tim, the owner, specializes in Texas style brisket. Stopped in for lunch the other day and had the macaroni and cheese topped with chopped brisket and asked them to put the sauce on the side because most places just drown their meat in sauce and you can't even taste the beef. There's usually reason they don't want you to taste it. But Tim is VERY talented on that smoker! He was wonderful and honored my request without batting an eye (some chefs get offended). The staff and Tim both chatted with me in between customers and there was a good clip of folks in and out picking up food and raving about it as was I. The sauce is homemade and a family recipe and of course he's serving his grandma's macaroni and cheese, which is different from how I make mine, but it was still really delicious. The best part are the prices - so reasonable I t's not even funny, and I left absolutely stuffed to the brim. Be sure and try their fried pies too, I got a cherry pie to go and it was yummy! I'll drive all the way from Diamondhead on the regular anytime I want brisket because it was just that good. I would've taken photos, but I am held my lunch before I thought to do so. Sounds like a good excuse to go back to Tim's Tavern ;-)

If I could give no stars I would. I order a crispy chicken sandwich. It was not crispy. It was so…read moresoggy and greasy the bread was soaked with grease and in edible. I tried to soak the grease up with a napkin. The server walked but and I mentioned how greasy and soggy it was she offered to get me fresh bread. I declined as it would not save the greasy soggy chicken. I tried to eat part of it, an then when the server came by I told her she could take it away because it was not edible. She said she'd grab her manager. Which was apparently the other lady taking tables with her, as I heard and saw her taking to her. She did not want to come to the table apparently. Told her to discount it or make new one. We just took the discount as we waited long enough for our food. The bacon was kinda gross too on my sandwich and My wife had a side a bacon and she apologized and said they were making more. When she brought it out. The bacon brought when we asked for the check was good. Too bad everything else wasn't my mother in laws toast came out cold and not buttered. They got her more. She also mentioned her scrambled eggs tasted like they had cheese in them and were full of grease just do not say anything. Finally they are advertising apple crisp cakes everywhere and when we sat down the server should have told us they were out because that's what we originally wanted. Slow service and horrible food. Waffle House is up the road. Go there instead.

Everything!!!! Horrible service Had hamburger bun was mush…read morejust nothing good to say! Fries greasy, hamburger no flavor!!!
