    Oark Cafe

    The Oark General Store is a must stop if you are touring around Arkansas on two wheels or in your car. On a recent motorcycle trip, some friends and I decided to include this place in our plans and it was one of the best food stops on the trip. While you wait in line, you can peruse the souvenirs and t-shirts for sale as well as other general store goods. The line moved pretty quickly for us and there is an awesome guy at the counter running the whole show. At one register he will take food orders. At another, he will check out people there for general store stuff. Finally, at a third register, he will check out people just interested in pie or ice cream. It was impressive to watch. He was so patient and kind with everyone as well. Very welcoming. I went with the steak and cheese sandwich with hand cut fries. I also ordered a slice of pie with ice cream. They give you a slip of paper to hand to the pie counter showing you've prepaid for the dessert so you can go get it after you finish eating. It did take a while to get the food, but everything is made fresh to order. I saw them hand cutting the fries as well. The food was well worth the wait. I really enjoyed my sandwich and fries. Everyone I was with enjoyed their food as well. They would come around the restaurant offering refills and cleaning up. Everyone we interacted with was super nice even though they got super busy while we were there. The star of the show was the dessert counter. All the house made pies looked amazing. I heard the apple pie was must try, and it was served warm with vanilla ice cream. It was the best apple pie I've ever had. When we left, a couple of car clubs had a meet up there, so it was fun walking around looking at all the exotic cars and motorcycles. This is a must stop if you are anywhere near here.

    While riding the Pig Trail we detoured to have lunch here. The food was excellent to be sure. I had a burger and fries. I really wanted to try the pecan pie but just didn't have any room for it. The wait for the food was a bit long but it was worth it. Considering this place is a located way off the beaten path and the food is made fresh I was really impressed with their prices. The employees were super friendly and the manager stopped by to chat and expressed disappointment that I didn't save room for pie but I am only human. It was a great place to stop and I'ld go out of my way to eat here again if I am within a hundred mile radius of this place.

    One of the best parts about a motorcycle trip is when you meet a local somewhere and they tell you about a place you never would have found on your own. The Oark General Store is that place. You have to want to get there to get there but once you're there, you're really happy you're there. It's a very old-fashioned place that's been modernized a bit (orders taken on an iPad up front) by the new-ish owners. Great history if you take the time to look it up. More importantly, one of the best burgers I've had in quite some time and a slice of apple crumble/pie that was amazing. The service was equally fantastic from the friendly owner taking our order to the outgoing and enjoyable server who stopped by to check on us a few times. Wish this place were closer so we could go more often--but it's going to make me ride up to Arkansas more often than I have before knowing about it. Do yourself a favor. Take the detour. Enjoy the scenic drive. Order the burgers and some pie. You will not regret it.

    Burger and onion rings

    All I can say is WOW. Menu is super simple yet the options are plentiful. Mostly it's selecting from a variety of 1/2 pound burgers with various toppings. They make the BEST homemade onion rings. Do not skip this step. Order the onion rings. The pie case is overflowing with amazing temptations and they have hand dipped ice cream. I skipped it ( diet) but I was the only one that did in the place that day. Several seemed to come only for the pie! It's a long way from anywhere. But, it's a great excuse for a long and winding drive...

    Was very happy that we stopped by this amazing cafe and general store. The cheese burger was top notch and fries we really good. The home made pies would be worth the stop alone. Can't wait to come back!!

    Bought a sticker and stuck on the tailgate.

    Hit this spot back in February 2020. Great little general store and restaurant. Met the owner. Super nice guy dishing out quality meals at a great price. I had the chicken fried chicken -off menu. He heard me asking the server about chicken fried steak. He wasn't able to make, but created the chicken version. Located right by the Ozark National Forest, this a must visit in the area. In fact, I've rented a cabin near there and will be back in a few weeks. It's that good!

    Cheeseburger and fries

    What a cool spot to stop in and have lunch while driving through the beautiful Ozark mountains in Arkansas. While we were there a Porsche car club had stopped to eat so the line was crazy long but it moved quick. We had an excellent cheeseburger and home cut fries. And then there is pie!

    An experience everyone needs to have at least once. The pecan pie was outstanding! The burger was worth the drive.

    Good burgers, friendly service. Truly an Arkansas experience because the roads to get there are twisty!

    Sad, but it appears to have become a high priced tourist trap since the popularity has grown. Food quality has slipped.
