We were not disappointed. It is OUT IN THE COUNTRY. Drive in was a little sketchy but we never heard banjoes. Super eclectic remodeled old barn. Staff was very welcoming and we actually visited with the owners for a while. Scallops for appetizer followed by Crab Cakes and Redfish with Crawfish Etouffe on top. Saved room for Creme Brulee. Did not get to try the cheesecake Every item was top notch. Next time we will have to try the beef side of the menu, or maybe the lamb? Well worth the extra driving.

They look like it won't be any good, if you can even find it in the first place. But I promise you won't be disappointed. I missed talking pics of our dinner for to a phone call. But I took pics of dessert! This was or 2nd trip to Dannie's Cafe. It is so good. I recommend the pork chop. And if you like coffee ... get coffee. It comes to your table in a French press coffee pot. Mmmm. I would go just for coffee if you didn't need a reservation. Lol! But please ... And I can't stress this enough. If you make a reservation for 10 ...bring 10 people. They are a very small place and have to plan their dinner service according to the reservations. I have had the filet Oscar style and I wanted to lick my plate afterwards but I didn't because I'm a lady. You don't have to dress up because the café is in a barn shaped building but don't worry the food isn't barn food. Its 5 star food. Yes! In Hope Arkansas!! Do it make the reservation!!

We discovered them about 8 months ago while traveling through, needing some less processed options than typical eatout food, and tried it. Sooo glad we did! So now that we're in the area again we knew this is where we wanted to go. We even ordered extra meals to take with us for tomorrow! Ignore the lower star reviews bc they have nothing to do with quality (and no, the food is not bland)! If you want fancy highly processed and over seasoned gut burning food, don't go here - go to an impersonal restaurant serving commercial processed foods. Mother Kelley's is true homestyle flavors, meaning it's not fancy but it's home cooked comfort food (real ingredients) like my grandmother's was (mid 20th century); you'll love it!

All over you can buy Hope watermelons - but only in whole, which I could not possibly eat at once nor carry away. And no restaurants serving any either.

Having had chicken-fried steak for dinner the night before and expecting bbq for that dinner, I was in a vegetarian mood and had a plate of Southern vegetables - buttered broccoli, hominy, and turnip greens - all of them delicious.

We got close and Waze had us make a turn on Harris street and my wife panicked. It did not look like a journey meant for us. I proceeded to our destination and the parking lot was packed. We walked in and were greeted and seated. It was a hot day and it was open air seating. It took our bodies about 15 minutes to adjust, and become comfortable. Our server was Edward aka Bubba. He was very personable, knowledgeable, and efficient. We ordered the fried pickles as an appetizer, and were given a very generous portion. Bubba also added a complimentary crawfish and grits dish that was awesome. My wife ordered the fried catfish , and ordered the blackened Mahi. Both dishes were prepared to perfection, and presented tastefully. We received our order in a very reasonable time. We wanted dessert but they were out. Check this out though, when they do have dessert it is on the house. At Pop's Place the prices are very fair, the portions are over the top, and the service was on point and very hospitable. If you are in Texarkana I highly recommend Pop's Place.

They have about 8 entrees, 8 or 9 sides, and about 7 pies to choose from on a daily basis. Each day has its own special too. Prices are basically a la carte, unless you order a special meal deal which includes an entree, 2 sides and a roll for about $5.69. I chose to order a special, added a 2nd entree, a dessert and a tea all for around $12. I picked chicken fried steak and the daily entree, king ranch chicken. For my two sides, I picked turnip greens and mashed potatoes. Everything was good, but the roll, turnip greens and sweet potato pie were my favorite items. I can vouch all three of those are homemade. The mashed potatoes were powdered, not homemade. The CFS and king ranch chicken were just okay, I've had better. For the steak, the meat was too tender and a low quality grade of beef. If I lived here, I'd definitely visit all the time...my waistline thanks me that I dont.
