While visiting family in Arkansas from Florida, we stopped into Hawkins Variety Store and…read morehonestly...this place was just FUN. My absolute favorite thing in the store was the selection of hats -- especially the hilarious animal hats with ears that pop up and down when you squeeze the dangling paws. They were adorable little girls hats. I was thankful for my great-nephews because if I had great-nieces, we would have spent way more money in this store than intended LOL. Beyond the hats, they had a little bit of everything: old-school candy, toys, snacks, sandwiches, souvenirs, and Blue Bell Ice Cream. It definitely has that classic small-town variety store feel that's becoming harder and harder to find. One of our Arkansas family members treated us to ice cream, and mine was delicious. I went with strawberry in a waffle cone while my daughter chose cherry vanilla. One thing I found both funny and interesting -- all the cone options were the same price. The larger waffle cone cost the same as the smaller sugar cone, which means...obviously go big if you can because you can fit way more ice cream in it for the same cost. Cute little stop with personality, nostalgia, and some genuinely unique finds.

We just stopped back in today at the new location and loved it…read more You don't have to fight with any parking issues at all now, they have plenty of parking available now. It seems like that they have a lot more dining space too. I don't know if we really ever been charged extra for any condiments, I know that when we asked for extra butter or something like that we have received plenty of it. When I had a food choice dilemma, the server usually would give me both if it was a small order of something at no extra cost. They always go the extra mile to satisfy us. Today we even paid for an elderly couple's bill, and slid out the door without them knowing about their bill being take care of by us. Hopefully it made their day. We can't afford to do that often, but if we see a Veteran or an elderly couple, just our way of thanking them without them knowing who did it. But we love the new location and as always tip the staff well when they do good.

This place is right in the center of town and super close to the mines. Very welcoming local atmosphere. They have plenty of tables and a large space inside to move about.

While visiting family in Arkansas from Florida, our group of ladies stopped in looking for a cozy…read moreplace to sit, sip coffee, and catch up for a bit. This definitely checked the box for atmosphere. The space is cute and welcoming with a mix of tables for working, couches for relaxing, and little boutique-style shopping areas along the walls with clothing, gifts, jewelry, books, and more. It was quiet during our visit aside from one family with small children, which made it a nice spot to sit and chat. I ordered an iced caramel latte, my daughter got a soda (served in the can with a cup of ice), and pricing felt comparable to Starbucks or Dunkin -- which I don't mind at all when supporting a local business. Unfortunately, the biggest downside was noticing flies inside the covered container with the beignets/donut holes. I understand bugs happen, especially in smaller towns and warmer weather, but it immediately turned us off from ordering any snacks or food items. The latte itself was just OK, nothing especially memorable. That said, I would still come back if I needed a comfortable place to sit and work, read, or visit with friends. The atmosphere was honestly the highlight for me.

What can you say about this historic establishment that has not been said before…read more Love the atmosphere! Old school diner feel with amazing servers. It truly shows why this establishment has survived the better part of a century. Sausage (local) was good and hearty! Paired it with two perfectly cooked over easy eggs. The buttermilk pancake was perfection. Light and fluffy, soaked the butter and syrup up quite nicely! Definitely check out this breakfast spot if you are in town. I know I will be back!

I had mixed feelings about The Pancake House. We waited about an hour to be seated, which…read moreimmediately set the tone--and honestly, it wasn't worth that long of a wait. The food itself was a bit of a split decision. The ham steak was excellent--hands down the best I've ever had. The pancakes were good (and MASSIVE) although I ordered banana pancakes which were basically plain pancakes with ONE slice of banana on the top...pretty disappointing in that regard but they still tasted good. The bacon was really good. However, I was surprised and disappointed that they don't serve hash browns or any kind of potatoes at all, which feels like a big miss for a breakfast spot. The restaurant is extremely crowded, and the atmosphere just isn't my style. It's very diner‑ish, which some people may enjoy, but it's not for me. That said, our waitress was genuinely kind and very helpful, which was a pleasant change. Years ago, I had a bad experience here where we felt rushed out the door, and it left such a bad impression that I swore I'd never return. Service this time was much better, and I do give credit where it's due. Overall, while there were some standout items on the menu, the long wait, crowded space, and limited sides mean I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. Definitely not worth an hour wait in my opinion.
