This little spot is amazing. We were traveling back to Hot Sorings from Yellville and lunch time hit when we were just before Leslie. Reviews were good so we made the call to stop in. As we pull into the parking lot my husband getting very excited as he was realizing this was a place he'd eaten a few years before and couldn't remember where it was as he travels the state frequently. His excitement was real but even after all that I was impressed! It was a Tuesday when we stopped in, the special was Chicken fried Steak or chicken fried chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes with brown or white gravy. My husband had the hamburger steak with onions, brown gravy and mashed potatoes with gravy. The vegetables tasted slow country cooked with bacon seasoning and a little bit like a hug from your southern grandmama. The only thing that was missing was the "Have you eaten baby? Here's your glass of sweet tea!" Seriously- sooo good. Okra and green beans tasted fresh picked from the garden, creamy airy mashed potatoes. Meat portions were more than adequate. My husband said he hadn't seen me eat everything on my plate in 5 years until then! The roll seemed to be a handmade yeast roll and was the perfect way to ensure not a drop of that amazing gravy was lost! My review doesn't even address the beautiful little spot this sits on, outdoors landscapes with beautiful local stone boulders overlooking this picturesque view of the river. Stop in, you won't be disappointed!

The food is always excellent, well prepared and nice portions. The service is always great as well. Love the clean, well lit dining room. We have eaten there multiple times and never had a bad experience. Highly recommend!

The CFS daily special is satisfying!

The daily specials feature large portiins if good food, at very reasonable prices! I had the CFS daily deal; Chicken Fried Steak, Mashed Potatoes, Seasoned Green Beans, and a large Dinner Roll - for only $8! My CFS was thicker than the usual thin chicken-fried steaks - and seasoned hust right for me! The ladies had the same special, except with Fried Chicken - it was a big hit all around! We were full, but they had so many dessert options we had to try a couple; the 4-Layer Chocolate Pie, and a Chocolate Ice-Cream Cone - both were excellent to the last morsel! Excellent home-cooking food, great prices, and friendly servers - WE WILL BE BACK!

Been passing by too many times so we stopped by this morning. Easy parking. This place is clean, even the bathrooms are Clean. Seating there is no end to the seating. Portions to price, I find this is a great deal and worth it. View of the river while eating is great. I like their coffee. I would recommend this place.

See all
