Showed up On Wednesday which happens to be Fried Chicken lunch special. My husband had the chicken, beans (he said they were amazing!) I chose a hamburger steak with onions and gravy. Both were freshly made and delicious. Our server Manda J was great! Very attentive- and we appreciated that she was extra friendly as we chatted a little about the area. I would definitely recommend coming in for lunch when you're near! We will be back! read more

We had breakfast here and everything was great. We both enjoyed our meals. Our server was fantastic

Everyone was so sweet and it was packed but they made you feel like their only customer. Food was amazing!

I went for breakfast and it checked the boxes for a local diner. The coffee was excellent and the portions were generous. I had the 3-egg breakfast with bacon, sausage, and grits. It came with gravy, but I'm not much of a gravy person so I'd defer to others for that. Service was quick and staff were attentive. My coffee was very good and bold without being too strong. It's not fancy, but that's not what I came here for. It's a good quick casual diner that appeared to be very popular with the locals. Next time I'm at Harding, I'll definitely return. read more

On highway 367 in Judsonia, AR outside of Searcy sits KJ's restaurant. Country breakfast and lunch at its best. Try the loaded toast with hash browns, eggs and a bowl of gravy for $7.99, or their perfectly fried catfish for lunch. You won't be sorry. Friendly servers and family atmosphere. Delicious! read more

Stopped here to eat last weekend. We waited for nearly 15 minutes for someone to seat us. They knew we were there because we had eye contact as she walked by us to seat the folks in front of us. The entire time after that we could see the hostess talking with friends at a table , never once worried that there were guests waiting to be seated. We finally gave up and walked out. I guess since it was our first time there we weren't important enough. I probably won't be back. read more

Don't let the outside fool you. The service was awesome and the food was great. Had the hash scramble. Eggs, hash browns, peppers, onions jalapeños, cheese!!! It was one of the best I have ever had. Gravy was epic too. I love this place. Not fancy, but the real deal read more

Driving through the area and decided to try a local spot for lunch. Service was fast and friendly. We ordered the southwestern egg rolls but were surprised to receive mac-n-cheese bites instead. They were delicious so we ate them even though that wasn't what we originally ordered. I was again surprised when I bit into the last piece of fried goodness and discovered it was a southwestern eggroll. Apparently they look the same and you can't tell the two apart. Anyway, the mac-n-cheese bites were better so it was a great mixup. The avocado chicken bacon salad was fresh and tasty. The croutons were homemade and buttery. If you are in the area, don't miss out on this local place! read more

We were in Searcy just to get some work done on a vehicle so we thought we'd get some brunch. When choosing restaurants out of town, I rely heavily on reviews and this one met that requirement. Rarely does that fail me but this time it did. It was just before 11 am so we (erroneously) thought a place only open until 2 pm would have brunch all day. Once were disappointed that they stopped serving brunch at that time, so we settled on salads with "world famous croutons" and avocados on them for $12.99. More disappointment when the small salads were served without croutons because the restaurant was out! We were offered crackers instead. To top it off, the salad that was supposed to have avocados had none on them and we had to ask. They forgot. Very nice people, but not a restaurant we recommend. It was one disappointment after another. Since I rely heavily on reviews, I decided to provide a review here so others know what they're getting. read more

A warm friendly place to have breakfast or lunch, have not tried it for dinner yet but plan on it.I've had breakfast several times and me and my wife both like it for lunch. read more

Great food and great folks! Love their daily specials as well as their evening options!! read more

The service was a little slow. but we were notified upon sitting that they were short staffed. So we expected that. Very budget friendly. I got 2 eggs, 2 biscuits, hash browns, 3 bacon slices, and 2 sausage patties and gravy for $7.99 plus tax and tip. My one complaint is the gravy. It is not homemade unfortunately. The same packaged gravy most places use these days. Nothing fancy to the decor, but it was clean. read more

Just a wonderful country restaurant with very consistent good food at low prices and really good service. I come here everytime I am in Searcy or passing through to Jonesboro. Both breakfast and lunch are very pleasing. Their fried catfish works really well for me. I love this place and just wish I lived closer. I recommend you give them a try. Delicious country style meals that are sure to satisfy your cravings. read more

This place is a sweet little country style restaurant with super friendly staff! We love it!

Clean restaurant! The chocolate biscuit and gravy is unique to the area and tastes great. The traditional breakfast allows you to pick items including the unique biscuit. The coffee is decent too. I would highly recommend a visit. read more

In town for work, came here for the sole purpose of trying their chicken nachos. They absolutely did not disappoint, and it's slightly disconcerting that I probably could have ordered a second plate. The chips for the nachos are a flaky wonton chip consistency unlike your typical tortilla chips. So freakin good. Everything on the menu (and at other people's tables) looked amazing. We also had a piece of the peanut butter and chocolate thunder cake. So rich and indulgent and amazing, tasted like a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup in cake form. Omg. Service was great; our waitress was a sweetheart. Overall, a great establishment definitely worth trying. read more

Stopped here for lunch about 11a( Wed, Dec 21. I live in J'ville, so it had been a few months since my last visit. I enjoyed the entree and sides then, and wasn't disappointed today! Out of the 3 specials, I elected to try the chicken strips with Mac n' cheese, and the white beans. Folks the food was hot when it hit the table, and the sides were great!!! The strips were tender, and dipped in ranch dressing, my meal was totally complete! The owner," KJ", was our server, and she was as busy as the others, tending to the customers as dedicated as ever, when she opened the place 16 years ago. The dining room is clean and homey, and all who work at KJ's ensure the tables are spotless. Well worth the trip, KJ's is not only a great place to enjoy good, hot, AND TASTY food, but a destination as well! Well deserved 5 star rating; to KJ and her crew; well done all!! read more

Not as impressed as the reviews stated. Not from area but usually you get butter with pancake. or if you are standing beside your table waiting to pay it means you want to leave. Guess not. read more

The most amazing plate lunches, friendly people and reasonable prices. Went above and beyond during covid. Their sandwich shop across the highway from the. is also absolutely amazing. Would highly recommend both locations. read more

Great restaurant! Friendly family service . Steaks are the best! They have good breakfast as well. Must try restaurant

Not what I was expecting when I came here but I will definitely be back. The inside is very county chic and the servers are SUPER SWEET! I called around 9:50 before we came because I was in the mood for lunch. They start serving lunch at 10:30. I really didn't want to wait but the reviews looked too good to pass up. I found this place by accident and I'm glad I found something to pass the time until it was time for lunch. Upon arrival, you walk right by their dessert case, FULL of yummy looking treats. We seat ourselves and wait on our server. We ended up getting the queso and chips as an appetizer which was a mistake. It was so good that we couldn't stop eating it until we were so full, that when the food finally arrived, we were ready for a nap, not more food. But we ate anywways. I ordered the fish plate and my son got a burger. The fish was delicious! Nice and crispy and fresh out of the hot fryer. It was served with slaw, French fries, and two hush puppies. I was NOT disappointed. The burger was hand crafted and full of juicy flavor. I know because after catching the scent of the burger, I had to try a bite for myself. I wanted some dessert so badly but after we tucked our leftovers ever so neatly in a carry out box, we almost had to be rolled out of there. I'm DEFINITELY going to have to go back. They have plate lunches every day and judging by the look of the chicken and dressing on my neighbors table, I'm definitely trying a pllate lunch next time. read more

We are. So impressed with the selection I had the grooper and coconut shrimp that was perfectly presented and tasted out of this world. My wife had the Teriyaki Chicken and Shrimp, crab cake appetizer and sides that just tickled the tastebuds. Our waitress Stacy was delightful and made our visit a very pleasant one. read more

Sub par is generous with this restaurant. I can only assume this place is so crowded due to the fact it's the only place to eat in this town. I didn't ask for much with my order, a loaded hash brown with cheese, ham and bacon. It normally comes with that plus eggs, sausage, and other veggies. Our waitress was essentially non existent, we saw her when our drink order was taken and then when the food was brought out almost 30 minutes later. When she sat the plate in front of me I noticed it had eggs and sausage on it. I informed her that I had requested only cheese, ham, and bacon and that I'd like to send it back she wanted to argue with me saying that that's the way I had ordered it. Even as I write this review, she brought me back another plate and it was still incorrect. I told her that it still had sausage in it and she just grabbed the plate up very rudely and didn't say a word and took it back. I just asked that she take it off the ticket. I didn't expect much from this place but as my mother in-law stated, if you wait almost an hour for your food, you expect it to be correct. The only reason I gave 2 stars is the biscuit and gravy that come with the hash browns was pretty good...for frozen biscuits and packet gravy. This is my third time here and will most likely be my last. read more

Loved the food service and prices. Daily special can't be beat. Great folks waiting on you.
