    Roast beef.

    We had the lunch special. The Roast Beef. I had green beans, creamed potatoes and fried okra to go with mine. The Roast beef was tender and delicious. The green beans were amazing with onions and bacon in them. It was an amazing lunch for only $8.15. I highly recommend this place.

    Junction 166 opens @ 5am & is one of the few independent restaurants that has made it in this area. It's a big space, but if the parking lot is full, you might have to wait a few. Waitresses hustle like in the ole Flo's sitcom. Kitchen puts out plate after plate after plate. Don't recall ever seeing one sent back. Virtually all home cooking dishes are on the menu. Ham Steak breakfast & Fried Chicken lunch are my faves. Everything I've eaten has been delicious. O those homemade pies / cobblers / cheesecakes!!! Get in the door by 1:59 pm & they'll serve you whatever's left!!!

    Patty Melt and Mushrooms

    If you are ever through Pocahontas, AR, be sure to stop by this little "Dive" restaurant. It's Divey in all the right ways. Gravel parking lot? Check! Experienced waitresses? Check! Down home food? Check! Check! I stopped in on a Saturday around 2:00, running a little late for breakfast. We were on the bike so we were ready for a cool place to land. Our waitress was on a break outside but when she saw us, she darted back in quickly to greet us and take our drink orders. The menu is what you would expect, fried Catfish, Patty Melt, fries and such. My wife ordered the Catfish and hush-puppies, I ordered the Patty Melt and fried mushrooms. (they subbed mushrooms for fries). I thought that was cool. We struck up a conversation with a patron about directions and soon our steaming hot plates had arrived. I realize that this is not a fine dining restaurant but how many times do all of the items that you order meet and or exceed expectations? The Catfish was perfectly fried, not too much, not soggy, and not too salty! This is missed by so many places. The hush-puppies were rescued from the oil just in time to enjoy them in all of their glory... They were not just corn meal, they were fluffy and very tasty. Hush-puppies are usually a complete non event for me but these were memorable. My Patty Melt? Well how good can it be? It actually tasted like grilled beef. The bread was not used as a sponge to soak up grease from the burger. They must have actually patted the excess grease from the burger and rested it on the lightly buttered toast with a generous helping of cheese. Tasty combination of flavors, as it should be. The fried mushrooms were skillfully fried, drained and presented in a basket. The mushrooms on the bottom were crisp, just like the ones on top! We were getting ready to ride away when the cook, ( a young man in his 30's maybe) stepped outside to ask us how the food was.. We told him our review and he was very genuinely touched! He said in all the time he had been at the restaurant, he had never seen anyone photograph his food. He was a little shy and I could tell he was a little overwhelmed with the compliment. They deserve a chance to serve you on your next trip! BTW we stopped there again on our way back on Monday. Had a great Chef's Salad. Same service, parking lot packed and will always be a favorite Dive of mine..
