We enjoyed both dinner and breakfast while we were in Jasper for a couple of days. The food was great and so was the service both times. The double chicken fried steak was delicious and is served in a skillet read more

Ozark Cafe - Chicken Fried Steak - American Near Me - Jasper, Arkansas

Was going from Russellville, AR north. Was a good place to stop, relax, have some food. Should have gotten into the car and taken off, think every law enforcement officer was at the table next to me. The ambiance was much better than the food, had a breakfast. Will stop again when close, much better than a Branson tourist trap read more

Breakfast is really good. Pancakes are very big and good. Service was on top of coffee refills And very friendly. Small town feel and historical place. read more

The place itself is nice, and the service was good. However, the prices were so inflated. They were more than four times what they have on their menu on Google. I had a cheeseburger, fries, and no drink, and my total was $17.44 before a tip. That is crazy! read more

This is the kind of breakfast you want on a cold morning before a long hike. The sausage and cheese omelet was cooked perfectly and the sausage was definitely homemade. The hash-browns were buttery and crispy. The biscuit may have been one of the best I've had. Gravy for the biscuit was solid. Our waitress was super efficient and very nice. There were some very neat pictures hanging on the walls of local history and the place itself looks like it used to be an old soda fountain. Loved it. read more

We stayed near Jasper for a weekend away and ended up eating here 3 times. Some of our favorites were the southwest burger and fries, Southwest Omelet, French Toast, Biscuits and Gravy. The atmosphere is welcoming and our waitresses were all great! Good, fresh food, served quickly! Def recommend. read more

We ate here twice during our stay in Jasper, and we got the cheeseburgers both times because they were the best we have ever had! The first night we were seated immediately, and our food came out pretty quickly. The second night we called it in and had to wait about 45 mins for our to go order but they were packed but my husband was offered free ice cream while waiting and was apologized to for the wait. The other places in town were closed so literally everyone was in there. We got our food, ended up stopping at a store for some things before going back to the cabin and seen the host run in after us and grab like 10 bags of chips, these guys were hustling. Also people were being so rude to the staff for having to wait for their food. Show some grace. Do yourself a favor and stop here They have awesome food. read more

Jumping on the delicious tasty bandwagon here. Great food in here . The prices vs quantity AND quality is fantastic! If you want breakfast make sure you're there before it's shut off (1030? I think). Just a reminder, make sure to tip the staff. They are working HARD for you all, make sure you treat them right and tip them well. They don't need to put up with garbage. Delicious food in a historic environment. Go enjoy! read more

Ozark Cafe - History here folks! TIP THE STAFF! - American Near Me - Jasper, Arkansas

Tried the southwest omelet, blueberry pancakes, bacon and hashbrowns. All so delicious. Will definitely be back to try the evening meal offerings! read more

At the moment this is literally the only place in Jasper to eat out, but even if it wasn't I would still recommend it! Everyone who works here is wonderfully sweet and welcoming. The dining areas are full of charm and local history. There are photos of years gone by everywhere and a poem about the restaurant is written around the top of the main room. The "Liar's Table" is a long table in the main room that local old timers frequent. The food is terrific! The salad bar is fresh and a good way to get some greens that aren't fried. From the menu we got the Excaliburger, a burger with grilled cheese sandwiches instead of the bun and a giant knife holding it all together. It was huge and delicious with their crispy fries. On other visits we got the teriyaki chicken, Swiss and mushroom chicken, grilled ham and cheese sandwich, and fried catfish. From the dessert menu we got the blackberry cobbler, fried cheesecake, cookie skillet with ice cream, and the banana and chocolate shake. All were wonderful. Sunday brunch is a big deal. They have a buffet that you can get where you can choose from tons of delicious options. They also have an old-fashioned soda fountain where you can put together your choice of soda with flavors and ice cream. In conclusion, if you're in the area, eat here! You won't regret it one bit! read more

I've eaten here several times and I've never been disappointed. Some of their menu items are truly unique, service is always good and the restaurant is always clean. Highly suggest stopping in if you're in the neighborhood it's a great place two satisfy your appetite while riding these wonderful motorcycle roads. read more

I regret ordering the chicken fried steak that was a breaded and fried burger. The burger wasn't even a good burger. If the menu had stated it would be a burger, not steak as advertised, I would not have ordered it. The fried okra and baked potato was cold. There was margarine, not butter for the potato. Extra star for being open on a Monday. read more

Ozark Cafe - This "cheesy" burger is not for the faint?! 1/2 lb of cheese but delish! You have to try the blackberry cobbler! It was all GREAT! - American Near Me - Jasper, Arkansas

Stopped in for breakfast and was not disappointed. Our server was very busy but did an excellent job taking care of us. The atmosphere was very casual. The menu is in the form of a newspaper, paper towels on a roll and a bucket of individually wrapped utensils all on the table. Food was good, coffee kept coming... read more

Always wanted to try this place. Plate lunch of chicken fried steak and veggies was awesome. This place is history in one of the most beautiful places in Arkansas or anywhere else. Right off the Buffalo national river. read more

Great local spot. We stopped on for lunch after hiking all morning. We both got burgers that we enjoyed and they offer curly fries, battered fries, or hand cut. I got hand cut and they were delicious. Generous portions and great service. read more

Great food and service. Had a black bean burger with curly fries. Forgot how great curly were. Ice tea was perfect. Had great flavor of fresh brewed tea. Wait staff was attentive and helpful. Two people came in to order ice cream shakes to go while I was eating my burger. The shakes were gorgeous!!! Whipped cream topping was piled high and included a cherry on top. I'm gonna have to order one of those next visit. This was not my first visit to the Ozark Cafe and certainly won't be my last. Makes the drive over from Fayetteville worth it!! read more

Ozark Cafe - Veggie burger and curly fries. I added the mayo. - American Near Me - Jasper, Arkansas

We were staying at an Airbnb nearby and this was the only restaurant within driving distance. After a long day of hiking, we stopped in. Honestly, after seeing so many Confederate flags everywhere we drove and seeing motorcycles parked outside the restaurant with Confederate flags on them, we were totally on edge and worried that we'd get harassed as people of color. We found the waitstaff very friendly though and the food was absolutely delicious. I ordered Ma's chicken fried chicken and it was the best fried chicken I've ever had... flavorful and not greasy with crazy good gravy. My partner got the chicken friend steak and loved it. We liked Ozark Cafe so much we came back the following day after hiking and ordered the exact same thing (this time there was a fresh salad bar and more vegetable side options). The waitstaff remembered us and we chatted with other customers during our short wait for our food. The customers were also more diverse this second time around. If you're ever visiting the Buffalo National River area, I highly recommend stopping by the quaint town of Jasper and eating at the Ozark Cafe. read more

If you ride motorcycles, you've probably heard of the Ozark Cafe. Famous for the atmosphere (it's listed on the National Historic Places registry) and the burgers. I got sidetracked by the grilled cheese sandwich and was not disappointed. Regretfully, we didn't get milkshakes or pie, which is pretty much a fail on our part. Next time, I won't make that mistake. Highly recommend stopping here if you're passing through Jasper, which in itself is a cool little town. read more

Food was just ok. They were busy and forgot us but everyone there was really nice and did their best ti help us have a good experience. Wanted to love it but was ok read more

My husband and I were in Jasper March 15-17, 2024 enjoying all of the local hiking trails. We had heard about the Ozark Cafe and decide to give it a try. The inside is what you would expect for a small town local diner but the food was good with large portions. We both got the catfish plater and had leftovers to take back to the cabin with us. The thing about this restaurant that impressed me most was the employees! Everyone that we saw was constantly busy doing something! From the host/hostess, to the waitresses to the busboy! It really impressed me. We are from a bigger town and needless to say, the service is not always the best! We have plans to go back in the Fall and definitely go back! read more

In a little town just across the street from the court house on the square sits the Ozark Cafe; It's actually a pretty good size once you get in. It seems to be the most popular spot in Jasper because it's always busy, lots of motorcycles parked out front when we went. Probably enjoying the curvy roads and Ozark hills. There's actually a huge hill that sits right in front of the square I wish there was outside seating. Anyway the menu is very big, and can be a bit overwhelming. The prices were also a bit high I felt for the area, but they aré banking on tourism more than local business. I settled on the volcano burger because I saw it on Man vs Food. The burger doesn't come with a side and is $10!! Sure it's a good size, but I feel that's a bit steep. I don't think anything came with fries; everything seemed to be extra. The shakes and ice cream looked good, but we didn't try any all desserts were $5 or more, sides were around $2.50. All in all a bit expensive, and nothing "amazing." I think the locals stop in for desert more than dinner. read more

Been here a couple times for breakfast. Average food and the it took 45 plus minutes both times to get food. Service was ok, but nothing special. Will not be back. read more

We ate here twice 4 1/2 years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it. We came back to the area and looked forward to coming back. We were disappointed to say the least. Service was spotty at best. I had the teriyaki chicken and it was clearly a frozen chicken breast that was overcooked. Teriyaki sauce was just put on after it was overcooked. The pineapple was okay. The baked potato was cold. On top of that it took forever. Apparently we should have complained as the people next to us had their food comped. Only good thing was the salad bar. We'd planned to eat there twice but we are rethinking that. read more

Beautiful view!!!!!!!!!!! The food was delicious. I had the fried catfish plate. The green tomato relish was the best, they even sell it in their shop! Staff was welcoming and friendly! read more

We had a great lunch here! The waitress was very helpful and friendly. The food came out quickly and were large portions. The cafe is super cute and was open on a monday when most of the other eating options were closed. This is a very popular place to visit in Jasper so there can be large groups moving through. read more

Visited here while in Arkansas for a wedding. This place definitely seems like a popular local spot. Keep in mind, Jasper is a dry place so no booze! We visited for lunch and the food was great. Service was even better. Obviously no fancy dishes but they do a great job with the classics. read more

We went for dinner (got 2 Mushroom Swiss Burgers and loaded fries. It was huge portions and wonderful. We did to go and it was super fast and easy. Also their cobbler was exceptional. Like woah. Before we left town the next day, we also got breakfast - pancakes (2 of the blueberries and one peanut butter) they were exquisite. The bacon, and sausage was good. And the pancakes were huge. Definitely go here or grab it to go. It is absolutely worth it for any meal. read more

Very quaint place with great food. Perfect place to stop for a bite on our day drive exploring Arkansas.

Food here is fantastic on its own, but when you add in the great service it's over the top. We were in Jasper for a few days and tried many items, so breakfast lunch or dinner you'll be happy. Make sure you get yourself one of those great shakes! All I got pics of was the breaded pork tenderloin, but trust us it's all good. read more

Ozark Cafe - Breaded pork tenderloin - American Near Me - Jasper, Arkansas

Ozark Cafe wins the award for the cheesiest burger ever. My husband and I stopped here while in Jasper and we both ordered the Volcano which doubles its weight with caramelized cheese. It was fresh and tasty and probably had a million calories. The fries (which cost extra) were sparse and greasy. Since fries don't come with the burgers, it means the burgers are pretty pricey for a small town diner. Service was average at best. We were not able to find a clean table at 5 pm on a Thursday so we had to ask the server to wipe one down, which visibly annoyed her. Overall, we left happy and I would recommend for a neat experience but the staff could definitely use some customer service coaching. read more
