This place is such a unique little slice of rural Arkansas charm. It's tucked inside an old grocery store that now functions as part convenience store, part restaurant, and even part gas station with above-ground fuel tanks offering both regular and diesel. Need breakfast, snacks, gas, or fuel for your mower or camper? Apparently this is your stop.
We visited while in town from Florida seeing family, and two locals in our group specifically recommended it. Even they commented that service was unusually slow that morning and apologized on behalf of the restaurant because apparently this wasn't the norm.
It took about 10 minutes for someone to greet us and take drink orders, and probably another 30 minutes for food to arrive. Thankfully, the staff was very friendly throughout the experience.
The food itself was delicious. The pancakes were massive -- literally the size of an adult's head -- fluffy, sweet, buttery, and almost tasted lightly fried around the edges in the best possible way with that little bit of crisp texture. Eggs were cooked perfectly, and I appreciated that the bacon was clearly made to each person's preference since some in our group ordered extra crispy while others preferred traditional-style bacon.
Not a fancy place by any means, but definitely one of those local spots that feels woven into the community. read more
