    The food was phenomenal and the service was fantastic. We returned back multiple times and had great food each time. This is a safe space for people with celiac or gluten sensitivities. They also have lots of vegan options. They took extra care to not cross contaminate the food and it was delicious. I highly recommend this diner and hope to come back soon!

    A quirky and charming little diner with some excellent food! Harold's has the feeling of eating breakfast at your grandma's house that hasn't been updated since the 70's (in the best way possible). One of the owners was working the counter on our visit, and he took the time to give us some recommendations for sights and local bars to check out. Expect to wait a little bit for your food, as it's a smaller operation and everything is made to order, but it gives you plenty of time to explore the cool vintage artifacts scattered throughout the place. All our food was amazing and a perfect start to our day- I'm not sure I've had a better biscuit in my life!

    Blue Plate Special | Pimento cheese burger

    We just had an outstanding lunch at Harold's in Eureka Springs, and I genuinely can't stop thinking about it. I ordered the Blue Plate Special -- a pimento cheese burger -- and it was hands down one of the best meals I've had, period. Not just a great burger... an incredible meal. We started with the buffalo oyster mushrooms, and wow -- the batter was light, crispy, and the sauce had just the right kick. A perfect starter. My wife ordered a burger with mushrooms, onions, bacon, and goat cheese, and that bacon deserves a shout-out of its own: thick-cut, full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. Every bite of both burgers was juicy, fresh, and full of flavor. The atmosphere? Super charming. It's set in a house, which makes it feel cozy and relaxed. You can actually talk over your meal -- the music plays from an LP, just loud enough to set the vibe without overwhelming the space. The staff were friendly and welcoming -- it felt like having lunch at a friend's place who just happens to be an amazing chef. Harold's is an easy 10/10. If you're within 5 miles of Eureka Springs, go. You'll be glad you did. We'll absolutely be back. Thank you for a phenomenal lunch!

    We stumbled on this place and had to go back 2 days in a row. The food was amazing, the chef is fantastic and all local flavors. The mission, helping food insecurity? Where do I sign. The nostalgia and the SERVICE. Thank you, Harold's for a 5 star experience.

    Owners kind, with vibes so sweet. Food's a feast, a tasty treat. Allergy-friendly, what a score! More than enough, you'll be left wanting more.

    Honestly this place was an upset all over. My potatoes and eggs were good. My husband got Biscuits & Chocolate Gravy which are difficult to find anywhere. He was so happy to order them but when he tried them he hated it :/. He was not a fan and i was not a fan of the pancakes. They looked good I loved the stamp but it was no good. At this place you will have to order your own food up front not seated. You then have to serve your own drink and then on top of all that when you food is ready they put it on a tray where you have to pick it up from a window and take the tray back for them to reuse it. Regret tipping them since I did all the service anyway. The place itself was cramped, it's cute looking and family friendly. Other than that they really had nothing going for them. Not to mention to add a slice of bacon was 3.50 each! So I did not want to order anything else because of how expensive it was.

    Food - oh my goodness, so delicious. I ate my yummy potato hash and then thought I'd have a little bite of this biscuit that no one else at...shouldn't have it was amazing and I ate the whole thing. It was a great breakfast. Service - Stellar, so kind and welcoming. I want to see these people everyday. Ambiance - groovy!

    Harold's loaded fries potatoes with no mushrooms, I added vegan sausage, eggs scrambled with cheese, in a smoky hollandaise sauce

    The food is one thing, but the service is absolutely impeccable!! I was treated with a smile when I walked in, felt absolutely comfortable. It's definitely a homey, friendly atmosphere! It's also pretty cool that they sale local vendor products. I got a vegan dish that was delightful! I'll definitely be returning!

    This roadside diner is a must when in Eureka Springs! Opened October 2023. So many local beverages on tap - mango pineapple kombucha, root beer, and more. Gluten-free and conventional pancakes, epic burgers, and vegan options. Fun board game room and patio seating. Reminds me New Zealand tea houses. Merci, Chef!

    Bar and ordering.

    Go here!!! Amazing, chef crafted farm to table food, groovy 70s vibe. Play vintage record, play a game, take advantage of the on tap natural sodas and chill!! Highly recommend.

    This cozy spot up the hill from the town center opened in October 2023 and it is a gem. The theme is inspired from his grandfather, Harold, who wanted to ensure "all have a place at his table." The food is sourced from local farmers as much as possible. Friendly, personable, and cozy. It's a Brooklyn-esque brunch spot in the heart of the Ozarks.

    Blue plate special!

    Let me just start with saying this was the most delicious piece of cornbread I've ever experienced…read morein my life. And that's saying something as I would never purposefully choose an edge piece. On top of that I was surprised to find that spaghetti comes as a side! It reminded me of cafeteria spaghetti, but not the bad kind you groan about when you see it on the menu, the kind that has you running to the cafeteria to beat everyone else. The spicy cabbage is just that, SPICY. I was only able to eat a few bites, but even under all that spice the flavor was excellent. The catfish strips were hot and tender. They even threw in an extra or two. Now the server, he was amazing. He greeted us promptly and went above and beyond. I have not had such a positive experience with a server at any restaurant I've been to in a long time. I didn't catch his name, but he was brilliant. The restaurant was clean, food was fresh, and plenty of seating. I'm very excited to visit here again! We've been here twice, once dining in and once as an order ahead take-out. Both times we have been incredibly impressed by the atmosphere, service, and food. They have the best classic southern soul food we've had the pleasure of enjoying in the area. Their menu is huge with a wide variety such as chicken livers, rabbit, catfish, and classic Southern entrees. We were impressed with the long list of side options such as the spicy cabbage and spaghetti. Their cornbread is incredible, you've got to try it.

    You learn to trust the signs. A line before the dinner rush on a Saturday. That golden-hour light…read morespilling onto the sidewalk as the sun sets over Market Street. And the music..low, warm Motown drifting out the door like an invitation you'd be a fool to refuse. That's how you find Mama G's. Parking was a minor hassle. Worth it. Inside, the soul of the place hits you immediately. Family portraits line the walls:real people, real smiles, real history. The woman at the counter greets you not like a customer, but like a nephew who's finally come home for the holiday. That's not trained hospitality. That's heritage. We waited fifteen minutes. Got seated by the bathroom with a view of the road. Not ideal. But you know what? I didn't care. Because the smell coming out of that kitchen was already forgiving every small inconvenience. The menu reads like a dare. Everything "spiced correctly," they boast. No timidity here. So I went big. The Stuffed Turkey Leg: a smoked behemoth of a thing, piled high with greens, mac and cheese, sweet potatoes, all crowned with cornbread crumbs. Thanksgiving on a plate. A chaotic, glorious, soulful mess. The collard greens hit first. Earthy, slow-cooked, righteous. Then the mac and cheese, creamy and clinging to the turkey meat like it belonged there. The yams? Sweet, soft, perfect punctuation. And the spices??; they danced. Bold but not brutal. I could handle it. My four-year-old, however, disagreed. The mac was "too spicy" for her young tongue. Fair criticism. Take the kid to a park next time. This food is for grown-ups! My fiancée went with the Fried Wings. Hand-breaded, Mama G's own seasoning, fresh from the fryer. The kind of fry that crackles when you bite in..extra crispy on the outside, impossibly tender within. She needed dipping sauce to cool the heat. She didn't complain once. In a city full of bland, safe restaurant food, she was grateful for something that actually tasted alive. The staff? Warm. Genuine. Our waitress heard our compliments and brought us a free side of spicy cabbage just to show off what else the kitchen could do. That's confidence. That's family. Mama G's is not a restaurant. It's a relative's house where you happen to pay at the end. It's a taste of the South, a taste of something real, a taste of lovely.

The food was great. We had the smothered pork chops with sweet potatoes and collard greens. I had the baked chicken with sweet potatoes and collard greens. I really wanted the mac and cheese but they were out. Just all the more reason I need to go back. For dessert, we had the Turtle Cheesecake and Banana Pudding. The menu is small right now since they just opened but I hope given time, their menu will expand a bit more when they get their feet under them. It looks like the menu changes each day. All of the food tasted great. We wished the pork chop was a bit more tender but that's a personal preference. No knock on them. That doesn't change the fact that the flavor of all the food was great. The staff was courteous and quick with my order. Don't wait to go check out this place. This is the kind of food I grew up on and am glad to see it in NWA. This is true soul food and I highly recommend it. I will definitely be going back.
