    The Strawberry Pie is to die for!!
    Rick B.

    Wow! There aren't a lot of upscale resturants in this part of the Ozarks; in fact - this is the only one we've found. The rustic exterior and casual ambiance belie the high-quality food. Park in the small lot, or on the historic streets of downtown Leslie. Walk in and be seated by the hostess, although there may be a short wait during peak dinner hours. Do not leave! The food is worth waiting for! Ryan's offers soft drinks, tea, and an interesting assortment of beer and affordable wines. Our drinks came quickly. Steaks are available after 5pm, and my sirloin steak was on-point - full of flavor and cooked exactly as I requested! My side salad was small but fresh, and I'm glad I opted for home-made chips becuse they were very good! My wife loved her Grilled Shrimp with rice and onion rings. But then came the highlight of the meal: Strawberry Pie!! Words fail to convey how good this pie was! Utterly fantastic! It is worth the drive just to enjoy dessert! We will return many times!!

    Mouth watering steaks that need nothing added, amazing grilled veggies, and fantastic desserts. Waitress was super friendly and great at answering questions. Can be a little loud inside, but not overwhelming! Spend the extra money on the bigger steak and have another meal for later.

    Ride along RT66 and you will find this gem in Leslie Arkansas. Staff are awesome. We had just went down river for 6hrs and found an Oasis.

    Awesome Oasis off RT66. Great staff and food combination. Try the pies and quesadillas. Suggest picking up food from there before going on River.

    This is one of the places in Searcy county Arkansas where the local go. We have been several times. Always good food but always busy! Very nice staff good atmosphere. Prices are as reasonable as anywhere these days. I think the steak dinner cost between $30-$40. Of course that depends on size and cut. Seasoned very well. We asked for A-1. Waitress said, "I will bring it but you won't need it". We did not need it!

    Waiting, and waiting

    our car club was in leslie for the jeepin it classy car show. about 20 of us went to ryans to eat, a couple of members remembered eating here in the past and said they were good. awards for the show were to be given at 1:30 pm. We had reservations at opening, noon, and thought 1 1/2 hrs should be enough time, right? Well, we ordered at 12:15, recieved food at 2:15, and while the steak was good, you only get a steak, no bread no butter, no side thats all extra! The 6oz fillet was $35, tiny baked potato with butter only $6, carrot cake to go $9, so total bill, $62, and still hungary! Would not ever go back, and absolutly would not recommend to anybody!

    Cheeseburger and homemade chips

    The steaks are excellent as well as the burgers. The atmosphere is fun and inviting. There was a wait, but it was worth it.

    Great atmosphere and nice staff. Bar drinks are on point and fairly priced. I do feel as if the food is overpriced for the portion given.

    Service was good but the grilled shrimp plate was sub par. Vegetables were greasy and the shrimp was pan spread and not grilled. Ugh....

    This review is for their Sunday brunch which is the only meal I've had at this establishment. This…read morewas the best brunch I've had. My favorites were the loaded bagels, the ready to order omelettes, and the perfectly poured mimosas. Other offerings included shrimp and grits, salmon, meatloaf, biscuits with white or chocolate gravy, and waffles. There was something for everyone in our party (ages 7-70). I can't wait to come here again!

    Someone needs to open another decent restaurant near this place. There is not much else around…read morehere to eat that isn't Mexican, BBQ, or Pizza. They have the dining out market around here in a choke hold. If you go back and look at old Yelp pictures this guy is so confident you have no other choices that he essentially says to "Ef" off and go somewhere else to eat, or "sit down and shut up", I'll get to you when I want to and you will take it. Now, I did not see this sign, I am not sure if it is still there or not. Being an asshole myself, I kinda appreciate it though, LOL. Anywho... we went twice and ate once. Arrived for dinner about 7:30 on a Friday. 40 min wait. No biggie. Went back on a Sunday for lunch, 45 min wait, had a baby in tow so couldn't wait. Lil'C ain't having that... It's a nice place, nothing fancy, but good for the area. I mean Sara Huckabee. Ya know. Friday dinner was good. As per usual, C and I ordered enough food for us plus a couple more. Our server kinda started off slightly gruff, but my undeniable boyish charm melted that hard persona, and she warmed up considerably. By the end of the meal, she was bubbly and super helpful. We had fun conversation and she lead us to some fire dessert choices. We had the Crispy Shrimp Wraps that were on specials menu on 8-30-24. I enjoyed them immensely. The shrimp had some filling wrapped inside of it that was really tasty. Sauce served with it was solid too. Also had the Orange Chipotle Duck Wings appetizer. Very tasty, great fried skin texture, sticky spicy sweet glaze made them different than I have had before. Great original menu item! I had the Grilled Steelhead Trout (Rainbow). The bourbon pecan compound butter was underutilized and arrived as a solid puck when food was delivered. Fish had a great Smokey flavor and really didn't need the butter. I am not sure I even tasted it. C had the Bacon-Wrapped Meatloaf. She barely touched it, when I inquired, she said it was "ok". Took it back with us but never ate it and threw 90% of it away. I've learned when to be inquisitive, and when to shut up. Both meals came with a salad bar, potato choice, and a pile of crap veggies. She got a big salad at the bar and loved it. I don't like food borne illness so I don't partake. We both had baked potatoes, they were completely plain, nothing on it. I am not sure who wants it like this. Good news is they use actual butter in the tables so I drowned that junt in butter and ate it up. If you've made it this far, I commend you, no one reads Yelp reviews. If you do get this far, below is your prize. The desserts are the ultimate stars here!!!! Homemade and the two we had were absolutely amazing! Gosh damn fantastic! Our desserts were taken to go as we over-ordered dinner. We had the Carrot Cake and Lemon Cheesecake. Holy crap! Both were stunning examples of baking expertise! I have never had a better Carrot Cake in my life. Indescribable good! Lemon Cheesecake was equally impressive. I could write a whole review just on these two desserts. I am pissed I forgot to go by and get some dessert to take back home. May never be back.... Crap resort pissed off C... '24 - 74/102. One in jail. One deleted.
