Stopped for breakfast here before heading up scenic 7 for the drive north. Stoby's was on the way and seemed a good choice. Right now as long as you're coming from the west you can drive directly to the restaurant before the road is closed for construction (7/2026). We split a 2 egg with bacon breakfast and enjoyed it immensely. The house strawberry jam was really good. The hash browns were perfectly prepared if a bit greasy. The eggs ordered over medium were just a bit overcooked but we wanted to be sure the whites were fully done. My wife especially liked the cure on the bacon. Our server was prompt, friendly and attentive. She did a great job. It was interesting seeing how the original restaurant was converted rail cars and later expanded into what they have today. We heartily recommend Stoby's if you're ever in the area. read more

If you are hungry don't get caught on the "wrong side of the tracks." Stoby's is a railroad themed diner that sits adjacent to and across the tracks from the old Russellville train depot. There is some needed street and bridge improvements happening right now in the area, so navigation to Stoby's may not match your GPS recommendations. By the way, the old Russellville train depot is a museum that might be worth a visit after breakfast. Outside around back at Stoby's, you will notice a couple of Pullman cars that are actually part of the restaurant that you can dine in. The Pullmans are likely set up to handle groups. See the pictures from the outside and inside. The restaurant has a model railroad track that winds its way throughout the dining area. It was not running today. I suspect as a result of some type of Railroad Labor Union dispute. Mostly booths in the main dining area. Overall, it is a big restaurant. We were seated promptly and with menus; the drink orders processing while we studied the menu. The restaurant has daily specials, but we weren't railroaded into those options. The very nice waitress gave us plenty of time to study the menu and make a selection of our choice. My wife went for the Taco Salad; this ain't no Mexican joint but that's what she wanted. This is a southern food diner. The taco salad was similar to a school cafeteria, lunch taco salad. All the ingredients were fresh; the meat well was seasoned. The sauce came from a bottle. No, this ain't a Mexican restaurant. My wife liked the salad though. My meal was tasty and about as southern as it could get. Good cream gravy over a crunchy fried chicken breast, a cup of mashed potatoes with more cream gravy, and green beans with bacon. A slice of buttered Texas toast on the side to wipe the plate clean. No derailment at our table. It was a good meal with friendly service. Our ticket said Melissa was the conductor. Be sure to check the pie case up front! read more

Stoby's was great! We ate here on our way back to Oklahoma from Florida. Our server was really nice. Our food came fast! I loved my chicken salad sandwich on sourdough-I am quite picky when it comes to chicken salad and it was great! My friend had the chicken salad on a croissant. My husband had the French dip and he loved it. Fun atmosphere. I had a coffee and our server gave me a big to go cup. We would definitly come here again! Quick and really good! read more

What a fun experience to dine in an old rail car at Stoby's. Our group was happily seated in the actual rail car, but there is a lot of regular seating as well. The service was great from start to finish, and everything we ordered was delicious. We even enjoyed blowing the rain whistle on our way out. read more

Eat breakfast here. Hometown feeling. Several friends eating here. The food was good and the service was excellent.

The food is mid. Not horrible but nothing special. Regular diner type food. Haven't had the chance to try their pie which I've heard is really good. read more

Always a great choice! I enjoy their breakfasts best. Their bacon is always delicious and their strawberry jam goes well with anything!

Stobys was a great choice to experience Arkansas, being from Texas we were excited to try an Arkansas classic. The service was good and we got to try a very unique PB and J bacon burger. The salty ness from the bacon went perfectly with the warm peanut butter creating a gooey mess of goodness between buns. The Mexican fruit punch was delicious. We also got to try Possum Pie and buy some jelly for the rest of our trip. read more

Stoby's Restaurant - Possum Pie - American Near Me - Russellville, Arkansas

My first time in Arkansas and everyone said to try this restaurant. I would say it is very cool being in a train depot theme. Cute building in a train car and toy train riding around the inside top edge of restaurant. There are large steps to get inside not sure how handicap accessible. The food was okay. I did like the sweet tea with the crushed ice and my sweet waitress gave me one to go. The possum pie I took home as well, yummy. The small nachos with queso was quite large, could not finish. Chips were fresh and basic queso. The dinner I got was okay, the waitress was amazing. Interior was clean but old 90's style wood finishing. The staff was all attentive and sat me and at end rung up bill quickly. Bathroom very small. Over just okay, it's more cute than anything. read more

They have awesome food and the service is excellent. I recommend going there for your favorite meals. They're the best.

Staff are always wonderful and nice. I use Stoby's for catering area lunches with clinics and offices. They are easy to order with, pick up for catering, have all the necessary serving items, and are a great price for good food. Thank you! Very appreciative to everyone involved! read more

The food and service were both excellent. It's a cute diner within a train car. The menu has lots of options.

Always good food. Sandwiches are wonderful. Waitresses are always top notch. Love the little train that runs around. So it's kind of a niche place to eat good food in a train car, blow the whistle and have a little train car running around. read more

Busy place had tasty breakfast. Strawberry freezer jam in squeeze bottles at the table was real delicious. Real butter, yeah. Good homemade biscuits. Gravy was yummy. The bacon on my menu description said it was thick cut bacon but it wasn't it was thin. Other than that everything thing was very good. read more

Absolutely Love Stobys if you haven't eaten there yet you are missing out on Great Food!!! Service Always With a Smile! Enjoy the Train Car while you wait for food...kids Love It read more

I ordered take out. It took a little longer than the app said, but not too much. I ordered the buffalo chicken sandwich with fries. It was excellent. The sauce was a little hot, so if you have aversion to heat, order the sauce on the side. Thanks, Stoby's! read more

Read the room- this is not a place to get a crab cake benedict- honestly, probably not the place to get a benedict at all. The crab cake was so fried- still can't get the taste of oil out of my mouth. It resembled more of a cheap extra crispy chicken patty. The server asked me if I wanted my poached egg soft, medium, or hard. I love a good Benedict, so of course I ordered it soft. I was able to pick up and manhandle this hockey puck of an egg. Giving Stobys 2 stars because my family seemed to enjoy their cinnamon rolls. Again. Read the room. read more

We were in town visiting friends and went to Stoby's for breakfast Saturday morning. I was afraid it would be crowded, but we were seated right away. Our server was very friendly and brought coffee quickly. I ordered scrambled eggs, grits, and bacon with a biscuit. Everything was perfect, hot, and delicious. My eggs were cooked perfectly (this means they weren't burned or scorched!!). DH and our friend ordered the same breakfast with hash browns and eggs over easy. They had put crispy bacon in the hash browns and DH enjoyed them so much. We will definitely go back the next time we're in Russellville. read more

Placed a group order and it took over 2 hours to get! We have placed many group orders and have never been treated the way we were today. Employees were very rude to us, as well. If you cannot accommodate a large order, you need to just say "No" instead of accepting it! I love Stoby's and this was so very disappointing! They lost a TON of business today! read more

Two words!!! Cinnamon rolls! Fresh! Hot! Soft!!! Open gooey deliciousness!!!! We ordered one then after one bite ordered another! The biscuits were amazing and I'm glad I tried the chocolate gravy but it was a bit sweet for my taste!!!! Next time, I will have to get some pie!!!!! read more

Always like eating at Stoney's when in town. Took my granddaughter for her first visit. Food was good as always and the service was good.

Food was amazing, service was great. When you go, make sure to leave room for a slice one of the fresh pies. Nice to find a hometown restaurant with great food. Breakfast is really good also. read more

Biscuits and Gravy were my favorite but the Cinnamon Roll was a very close second. Service was great.

Stopped in based on Yelp reviews. Fun railroad theme. If you're lucky you'll hear a freight train roll by. Sandwiches and burgers with a few other options. We had the cheese dip with chips. Tasty I had the French dip. Only used half the bread in order to have a hearty sandwich. Pretty good with a cup of Au Jus Bread soft. Wife had chicken salad on a croissant. 4 stars. Service: sassy with a smile! Possum Pie for dessert. 2 drink. $40. Worth stopping read more

It's a never miss when I go home to Polk county Arkansas for the holidays. Have a great menu but we used to eat the same thing. The cheese dip goes to 11 read more

We ordered sandwiches middle of the day. The chicken salad on Rye was good and a nice portion of chicken salad. The bread was soft and fresh. A small bag of chips was my side. The other sandwich was a club, I think a different type of bread would have been better, it was wheat. Ask for it on a hogue if that's an option! Plenty of meats and cheese. The coleslaw was very tasty. The dining room was fine , but with summer air conditioning running, it was too cool for my taste , so bring a wrap of some sort. Our server was pleasant. I liked that they had the QR code for payment. That's very handy and I look forward to more establishments following suit! I would return. They had a nice menu with lots of options. read more

Food was great and ohhhh that cheese dip!! yummy goodnes!! ordered through the ap quick and easy!

This is a must stop when in Russellville. They use actual railroad dining cars for some of the seating. Servers are really very friendly and take great care of you. Sandwiches and burgers are the main fair and they are great. This is also a great place for breakfast. Always busy but not a long wait. Make sure you pull the chain to blow the whistle when you leave. read more

I love getting food through the pickup window at Stobys! Everything is always packaged well, and hot when I arrive! Plus the girls at the drive through are precious! read more

Built in an old railroad car at an old railroad station, this breakfast and lunch diner has a ton of charm. Their breakfast is amazing. Their cinnamon rolls to die for. Their fluffy pancakes are as big as the large oval sized plates they're served on. We were in town on vacation and ate there more than once instead of trying someplace new because we enjoyed it so much. read more

there was cat hair in my soup i'm kinda disappointed although i ate it anyway.. i didn't pay for it and im mad they gave me something extra when they didn't have to do that on their time just bc i had no money and refused to pay for my meal without doing something in return! read more

Stoby's is a great stop for every meal. The food is great as well as the service. The only problem I see is they are not open on Sunday.

Great smoked turkey croissant. Always fresh and soft! Love the cream cheese and cream cheese with the smoked turkey.

Found this place while traveling and driving around town. Glad we did. Friendly greeting. Good service. It's a popular place! It stayed busy the whole time we were there. It has a full menu. We went for the Rubens and they were good. We got the yellow cheese and chips. The cheese was tasty but barely warm. Over all a nice dining experience. read more
