Million Dollar Bloody Mary. Best tasting mix in NWA.
Rich H.

One of my favorite places in FayTown for BFast. It is the best tasting Bloody Mary around. Food and service are always top notch. Nice decor and plenty of open spaces to enjoy breakfast or brunch or lunch.

The traditional breakfast. Two eggs, bacon and potatoes. Yum yum

Ducked in here early morning for some traveling relatives. Great service from Rylin our server. Good, solid breakfast choices. Food was a good value. Taste and texture was great. The one giant pancake was delicious. I'll be back.

Great menu, well-prepared and -served! Usually pretty busy ('cause it is popular); so a little noisy. Worth a wait, if necessary. Clean & classy.

Such a nice place for brunch! I always enjoy the food and the service is usually good too. My only issue is the consistency, almost everytime there is something missing from our order. Today I had the choose 2 lunch with soup and the pecan salad. It was all delicious but the salad was missing the avocado and bread. Also I wish they would add a make your own breakfast option. My husband wanted a banana Pancake but didn't want eggs or meat with it just fruit. So he had to order a single pancake and a large fruit which ordered separately was $12. The drinks and coffee are great. They offer a free bogo meal on your bday. Kids meals are a little small but ok. Wish they offered soup, salad, and better variety for kids. The girls bathroom could use some repairs. There was an actual hole in the wall (!) Of the handicap stall and the latch on the door was hanging off. Overall, great healthy place for brunch in NWA!

Traditional Eggs Benedict... couple of bites missing from potatoes.

Been sometime since we stopped in. Greeted in a friendly manner. Seated quickly. Our drinks came quickly after ordered. After that... our server had to be flagged down for help. I did see other severs hustling about taking good care of their tables. Towards the end she perked up and did good. My food arrived lukewarm, my wife's pancake was cold. They made the pancake again for her. I ate mine as I was very hungry after a fast for a medical test. I ordered million dollar bacon that did not arrive until I was well into my meal. But it was hot and delicious. The coffee as always was fantastic.

Letterhead of menu

The Menu is NOT a traditional menu the food is over done with too many extras. The dining room was really noisy. 75 decibels Hostess was a SHIM. Wont be back. Black Bear cafe and Neal's have you beat 10 fold.

Super spot for a breakfast, brunch, or lunch! Service was great, food was exceptional, and portions are generous. The facility had a nice, simple, clean, modern look to it. It was clean in the dining area as well as the restrooms. Our Nana loved this place and couldn't wait to introduce it to us on our visit to Arkansas. We definitely enjoyed every bite! Covid practices were in place. Final Vote: I would return when I visit

My breakfast partner, my sister

Stopped in for breakfast. There was a short wait but the hostess was very friendly and got us seated quickly. French toast and breakfast tacos were very good. Egg, chorizo, cheese, tomatoes and avocado on whole wheat tortillas. This is a great location when you're hungry. Have a Yelptastic day!!!

Very nice and reasonably pro ex breakfast and brunch place. The cocktails were great and the food…read morewas really good. My wife had the chicken and waffles and I had the shrimp and grits. The grits weren't really what I was expecting but the shrimp, ham, and potatoes were still worth it. The chicken and waffles were amazing. I'd come back for those alone. I had a Paloma since it was so early and my wife had her traditional bloody Maria. Of course in our traditional fashion we needed to have a second round where I went for my old fashioned and she had a margarita. Another amazing stop for us. We will be back.

Authentic country food, everyone left full! Wide open seating, clean atmosphere, service was…read moregenerally knowledgeable, however the service is VERY slow. Yes we're in at 6pm on a Friday but half the tables are empty and the bar from the photos is empty. So not a too busy issue. We didn't like how the salads, then appetizers, then food all delivered to the table within 3 minutes of each other. Not cool. The worst part of the dinner was those lousy bagged loaded French fries. Boo The rest of the meal was Good. The chef likes mushrooms as much as I do, on everything. My salisbury steak was generally cooked well but lacked the traditional gravy on top. Without the gravy it was just a cooked burger. My wife enjoyed her smothered chicken and I enjoyed the mushrooms that were on top of hers. And Mother enjoyed her catfish dinner. Her favorite part of the dish was the garlic bread. We both ordered happy hour drinks that we ended up paying full price for. The drinks were small but very tasty! My overall opinion was good, better than an OK 3 star. But it was nothing personally I want to go back for. Solid 4 star.
