Dry crusty eggs
Cynthia C.

Not sure why this has place has a 4 1/2 star rating??!! Let me start from the beginning! I was with my 88 yr old mother driving the Talimena drive and we decided to have breakfast here because of the good rating. My mother uses a walker so I understand not all places are handicap friendly or accommodating.... But to get to the bathroom here you have to navigate walking thru the fountain drink area and where they keep their supplies. After running the obstacle course to take my mother to the bathroom.... our "waitress" came over and was rude & acted as she could give a rats a** from the get go. We ordered coffee and the waitress brought them over and sat them down and left before I could ask for creamer. We were sitting there directly under a mini split air conditioner and my mother was already cold so we moved to a table next to us. We kept trying to get our waitresses attention but she kept acting as if she did not hear or see us (this place is small... ) She finally came over, and I asked for creamer and she said they didn't have any, well I've seen other people pouring something into their coffees so I asked if they had any half and half and she said no! I said you don't have half and half or creamer? She said we have milk! I said ok can I get some? She was just down right rude and obstante! I wanted to leave but my mother didn't want to. I wish we had. The food came out and it was horrible! The "toast" was bread right out of the bag! It wasn't toasted!!! The French toast was burnt on one side and the other side never touched the pan...Soggy Raw egg on the other side! The eggs were dry and crusty where they had stuck to the pan! The waitress brought over some syrup (that she went back and grabbed by the drink fountain where everyone who goes to the bathroom has to walk past) that was a large tub with a hole in the top! There was no cover for it. It was a community syrup that was always open. Nope! I'm done! She brings my ticket and it has $15.36 on the bottom. When I go up to pay (our waitress) in a flat monotone voice ask, "how was it" I didn't say a word because I couldn't lie. She then proceeded to charge me $19.96! I guess that's why she is rude and doesn't give a sh*t because she adds her own tip in at checkout!

Guy Fieri where are you ? This is your classic Cafe, Im surprised has not been found and featured on the food network. What you see is what you get! The friendly smile, the homemade food and the classic mix matched plateware. All located in the heart of Mena. It was such a pleasant experience! We were seated quickly; staff kept the coffee going ( always a plus!!) They know what they are doing! Loved the grits and biscuits and gravy but most of all loved that we were able to share the experience with family! This may be the only diner in this small town but worth trying than he commercial McDonalds ! You can see the numerous travelers from all over noted on the walls! Note you yourself - this is cash only -make sure you have your cash ready and leave a nice tip for the locals!

The good ole fashioned cheese burger with American cheese sautéed onions " fresh home grown tomatoes" with mayo.

The food, BEST BURGER IN ARKANSAS SO FAR. I've lived here 47 years of my life and staying at an air bnb about 4 miles out in the ozarks. The service was friendly and well the ambiance.... It was a vintage diner all original. There menu was incredible Breakfast lunch n dinner available all day. Great place

Last half of theRueben

Just a little diner in Mena, AR. Fantastic wait staff. Full of locals. Always a good sign. Was going to order BLT, but someone said they were known for their Rueben. Perhaps the best Rueben I've ever had. Worth the stop. Great tourist map on the wall.

The Ford sponsored tea glasses.

This place is not bad and pretty much the only breakfast choice in Mena. It's an older place with a little local charm.
