Food season and not out of a can and do not serve spoiled pinto beans to your customers you could look and smell they were bad. I have not been back since. read more

Whipped in there for a quick supper and food was good and service was excellent. Will be back soon

We've visited twice since they moved to the new location, and we were disappointed in the food both times. We wonder if the kitchen personnel is not the same since the move. It also took a ridiculously long time to get our simple, nothing special food order. read more

Ordered a hamburger steak at 3pm. Absolutely no doubt that my small, shrinking, very well done patty was left over from lunch. You guys are working too hard at building your business to be cutting corners this early. Wishing you luck, but don't put quality on bottom of the priority list. read more

Loved it will definitely go back. I had the Hamburger steak, French fries, macaroni, cornbread read more

East End Cafe - Hamburger steak, French fries, macaroni, cornbread - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hensley, Arkansas

Great place to eat. Open 7 days a week. Wonderful service and large portions. Will be returning when in the area.

I never usually eat chicken fried steak with white gravy, fried okra, great northern beans and cornbread, but today i felt like being bad so i did and what a great decision to eat here. Everything tasted like mamaw made it back in the day. It was all so good and yep i'm hurting now, but this place is great. Fantastic service as well-couldn't have been any friendlier people. Make the trip to Hensley-soon. read more

Relaxing home town atmosphere. Delicious food, great service, large portions, friendly staff. Highly, highly recommend. Will definitely visit again, and again, and again. read more

The waitresses are very friendly! The food is wonderful! You can't go wrong with East End Café! They even have a library on the side of the restaurant! Each table has local business cards, so if you are in need of plumbing, tutoring, electrical, contractor, you can always look on each table to get an idea! Great restaurant highly recommend East End Café! read more

Home town folks offering home town cookin'. Great place for the community! The pricing is very reasonable, and staff is great.

Overpriced for average food. The only reason they are still in business is they have no competition. Would not recommend this place unless you are starving. read more

We had cheese burgers and fries. Very good. Also had the chicken fried steak which was very good. You really need to try the fried pies. They were great. read more

We have been east end residents for over a decade and East End Cafe is one of our favorite local spots. The food is always good, service is always great as well.... But you do have to bring a side of patience with you when you come during 11:30-1:30, and at dinner time on the weekends because it's always so packed!! read more

The food was really good, service was great as well! If you're looking for old school good food!! That's exactly what you will find here.

Food is good and the servers are really good. Only good things to say about our local cafe

Wish we'd found this spot sooner. Super friendly staff! Food is darn good. My only complaint is not having more healthy options for a clean eater. But overall a great little spot. read more

Such a wonderful place to eat! Always good food. Friendly atmosphere and waitresses too!!

Great food fair price super service will visit again when in the area great down home feel

Their best meal is breakfast by far. They have all that can except from a home style restaurant. Not that their lunch and dinner are bad just have a Superior breakfast compared to other restaurants in the area read more

The food is pretty good and nice, friendly atmosphere. The reason I can't give more stars is because of cleanliness. The mens restroom was gross. It has matted up greasy dust all over the walls. I actually felt the need to clean it myself a little to see how easily it would come off. It came off very easily so makes me wonder if they are so lazy as to not wipe the dust off the bathroom walls that guests use daily, what does the kitchen look like that guests cant see?? ....please fix this East End Cafe. We love this place but cant let this go unsaid. Update... bathrooms have now been cleaned , but for the love of God please clean your supply and return air grills!! There is so much dust caked on them and dust hanging and blowing just waiting to go in someones drink. Its just laziness read more

I can not willing recommend any business in the East End area. The area is plagued with poor customer service that you come to expect in a small community. They previously had life music that would remind you of a honkey tonk instead of a small town dinner. read more

Great little find while out in this area. I. Trying to find reasons to be in the area! We had catfish, but I wanted to try lots of different items. Friendly folks. Good catfish! read more

my god the food is soooooooooooooooooo good there and the folks working there are the best

Great food and outstanding service! This small place is a hidden gem in East End. There is something for everyone on this menu! Prices are very reasonable and it is family friendly! read more

In my 14 years in East End, I can honestly say the East End Cafe is the worst run, worst service so- called restaurant I've ever been to. I waited tables for 5 years and I've never seen anything as bad that place. Captive audience is the only reason they have any business at all. No manager, just a bunch of kids wandering around as several tables are sitting without even the first greeting, drink order, etc... read more

Great place to each and relax. Top notch southern cuisine and the staff along with the customers were all friendly. I've eaten here a few times but never realized how homely the atmosphere is. Definitely will drive out of the way to dine here in the future. read more

Stopped on our road trip home. Great food, wonderful service! Ask for Hannah! She was helpful with suggestions and patent when I completely changed my order! read more

Whole family loves coming here. Plenty of good options on the menu and the staff is friendly and helpful. Dinner time is usually packed so we prefer breakfast and lunch times. We haven't been going as often due to COVID and heard there was a recent outbreak with the staff. Not surprising, they work hard in a small building packed with tables/customers. Looking forward to returning when it isn't too cold for the outdoor dining area or when the pandemic passes. read more

Careful what you pick. The orders are huge and you may have left overs. Vegetables and burgers are usually good. Chicken Fried Steak was huge and tasty. read more

Restaurant Review - East End Cafe Approximately 26 miles south of Little Rock sits one of Saline County's best kept secrets - East End Cafe. This comfortable restaurant not only serves delicious home cooked food, it also doubles as a dining and entertainment locality. Fried Catfish Dinner with Fries & Coleslaw Opened in September 2012 by the Taylor family, East End Café offers a free community library, live music on Tuesday nights, daily meal specials and is also available for private parties. With the slogan "Come as Friends, Leave as Family!" printed on each menu, East End Café certainly lives up to this phrase. Having previously run corporate dining operations, owner Todd Taylor said he wanted to have a family focused restaurant. Diners will find the following services available at the East End Café: Community Library Offering hundreds of books donated by customers located in a special section of the large dining room, customers are welcome to select as many books as they want to take home and read and either return at a later visit or keep! Volunteers weekly help sort and shelf the books, both paperback and hard copies. On a recent visit to the East End Café, various types available included children's books, cookbooks, novels and a thriller written by author John Grisham. Special Events East End Cafe provides live entertainment every Tuesday night from 6:00 - 8:00 pm, daily dinner selections (Thursday - Steak Night, Friday - Fish Friday, Saturday - Salmon & Sirloin) and annual events such as the recent Crawfish Boil to offer both food and fun to its patrons. Delectable Home Cooked Meals Hand-Battered Chicken Fried Chicken Dinner with Mashed Potatoes and Fried Okra One of the highlights of East End Cafe is all of the savory food the restaurant offers. From Salads and Burgers to Sandwiches and Homemade Desserts, everything is great! I have personally eaten almost everything available and its all been delicious. My family lives near East End and my mother heard about the Cafe last year and took my father to eat there. While I was visiting one weekend, they both took me to eat there and I loved it! I've been there several times, including eating there for Valentine's Day Brunch this year where our waitress, Jade, was so gracious and helpful. The wonderful food brought us to East End Cafe and the great service keeps us coming back. Everyone, including all the wait staff and manager Ricci Moss, is always so nice and friendly. East End Breakfast includes huge Pancakes, Ham & Cheese Omelets, and Egg Breakfast Plates One of the main draws to East End Cafe is the daily homemade desserts including the delicious bread cobbler.

East End Cafe - Hand - Battered Chicken Fried Steak Mashed Potatoes Green Beans - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Hensley, Arkansas

Food is okay. Place is cluttered and dirty. Waitresses hang on the men for better tip instead of earning tip by doing a better job.

We went there for breakfast. We were seated and the menu had breakfast on there, so we thought it was still being served, but that was not the case. I didn't see a time on there. Our server made us aware. A little disappointing. We ate lunch and it was pretty good. The service was good as well. I would eat here again. read more

Love to eat at East End Cafe! The food and service is great! If your food isn't acceptable to you they'll make it right.

Stick to the pizza. And pick it up yourself. Tipped the "delivery" person $5 on my cc. He calls me to come down & get my food, it was sitting in the lobby & he was long gone. Seriously Dude? Can you do another "drive by" & drop off my 5 bucks? I get dressed & go downstairs to pick up my cold overcooked pasta (someone introduce the chef to a salt shaker please) - very grade school cafeteria quality. The veal was cold, no seasoning. I had to add the lemon & butter myself & then stick in the oven. Never again. read more

I love this place! Chicken fried steak is the best around. Friendly staff and owner. Will definitely go back.

The East End Cafe was a delicious stop for lunch! The food was down home cooking with fast and friendly service! The chicken fried chicken was cooked perfectly and there were tons of sides to choose from. read more

Great new menu item FRIED CHICKEN! It will make you slap your momma! I also love the hamburgers and patty melts. Oh yes don't forget Thursday night Steak night!!! Open 7 days a week read more

My go-to for breakfast when I'm home. I live about 15-20 minutes away and it would be easier for me to fix breakfast, at home, in my pajamas... but I continue to go here. The biscuits and gravy are heavenly. The service is great, sometimes slower because they're usually slammed around breakfast time, but that shows you how good the food is. I love this place. read more
