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. "Run-A-Way Bill" was here! 06.05.19

Veggies for both or omelet and hash brown bowl were cooked on the grill to add some char, for a little extra flavor. Although their bread is not homemade, if you didn't ask, you wouldn't know.

I was leaving a camping event, tired, dirty, and not having had much in the way of a hot meal in a…read moreweek. I drove by a hand written sign in the grass that said GRANNYS KITCHEN. I made an illegal maneuver that would've made Dale Earnhardt proud. We ambled down a country road for a short distance till we happened upon a double wide trailer with a sign. I was immediately enchanted. My dining companion was not- he was skeptical and didn't want to try it. I went in to get a menu to convince him and was warmly greeted (my favorite thing!). My cajoling worked, and we got a table. It was early on a Monday morning (and a holiday to boot), so we had the place to ourselves. A sweet waitress helped us with tea and coffee and we decided on chicken fried steak with eggs for me and pancake breakfast for him. Now I'll say this- this is not fast food. But it was a crispy, fresh chicken fried steak just like my own grandma used to make. The gravy was PERFECTION, obviously used bacon grease. I was in hog heaven. And the cook (granny herself, I assume) made sure my eggs were exactly to my liking (runny yolks with no jiggly whites). I wish I lived nearby or had a teleporter. I'd eat that CFS once a week! Definitely worth finding this little gem. Oh, and they told me about their small business gumption remodeling the place to prepare for its opening. Small business is my passion, so I was glad to hear the triumphant story. Check it out if you're in the area! (With a detour off 30!)

My husband loved the jerk chicken and he has a pretty low spice tolerance due to a geo tongue. I tried and thought it was good! Super juicy, not dry at all. Fries and mashers were good, pretty standard. He got the "gator piss" koolaid haha and said it was good. Cornbread was good, a little honey and or butter on the side would have helped w the moisture.
