Server was incredible, . He was excellent at recommendations and bringing us up to speed on all things Wilson cafe. Two friends and myself stopped in on a Sunday on our way back to TN. We had a wonderful brunch and the place is absolutely adorable. Very clean, well decorated, excellent food and service! Can't wait to return. Keep doing what you're doing. It's hard to find good this good in a food desert like Wilson! They are bringing good meals to your table! read more

The service and food at this higher-end restaurant has remained consistently good, as of late. This IS a very popular place to eat for both lunch and dinner. Because of this, I've sometimes experienced when the kitchen has put a "hold" on new orders. Thus, I have indeed waited for up to half-an-hour for my meal to arrive, no matter how small my order. I believe that the food is served in order , which is fair. However, the meals that I've received here almost always have been prepared exactly to my specifications and satisfaction, so I have waited willingly. Their steak filet has gone up in price, but hasn't everything? Anyhow, good dining choices are sparse in the Osceola area, so I'm planning on returning again and again. read more

Only been here this 1 time but will be happy to return if in the area again. Group of 4 -each had something different: catfish plate, short rib sandwich, southern chicken sandwich & country fried steak. All were very good except country fried steak was tough. Short rib & chicken sandwiches were great! Wasn't crazy about bloody mary -was a bit watery/thin-not tomatoey enough. Also had chicken wings which were very good. Portions were generous. Service was friendly & efficient. Restaurant very clean. read more

On a rainy Memorial Day Saturday we took the ride from Memphis Tn to Wilson Arkansas for brunch at the Wilson Inn. Brunch did not disappoint. We started with Bloody Mary's and Poinsetta's. Eggs Benedict was delicious. Worth the drive. read more

I started with the mimoosa flight. The flavors weren't labeled, but I believe the strawberry and apple were my favorite. I ordered a medium rare ribeye, which was slightly overcooked but still a very good cut of meat. I did not care for the coleslaw or the gouda macaroni and cheese. The meal was served with toast. The chocolate pecan pie with ice cream was good. I arrived at 6:30 and was given a glass of water that a drank immediately because i was thirsty. Any establishment that must function understaffed should be like Nashville clubs and set out a jug of water so people can refill their cups on their own. They took my drink order at 7. There were no empty seats at the bar so I sat alone at a table. The experience was OK but they need at least one more server. The only reason they get by with charging over fifty dollars for the steak is because there's literally no other place within 40 miles you can get a good steak. The sides are below average. The servers are friendly but obviously overworked. The bathroom was clean and there was plenty of parking. read more

Absolutely freaking loved this place! The town of Wilson isn't exactly a metropolis, but its place and the adjoins hotel/golf course/museum are worth the drive. I worked at the nearby steel mill and stopped in for lunch and to take in the architecture. The meal and service were great and it's a destination type place for sure. read more

Drove about an hour and twenty minutes from Memphis on a Tuesday to do something out of the ordinary because I had heard good things about this restaurant. There were two large groups there first for luncheons and their orders delayed our meager order of a sandwich and the dip trio to about a 50 minute wait. When the food got there, it had clearly just been sitting up on the counter in the back, it was cold and stale. Poor service and management. Food definitely not "farm to table." Don't waste your time. read more

We love this quaint town as a day getaway. Our waitress was nice & attentive. I will say, the food was not as appetizing as expected. Having ate at the grange with a much more gourmet food tasting, we were a little disappointed. It was absolutely cafe style food. We would like to try the dinner hour meals but we were noticing it looked to be the same menu with less. We loved the atmosphere & got full! I will stand on it that our favorite is certainly the grange. Win, win for the owners since one owns all. check it out if you're close by or even if you're not it's a great area! read more

Cafe has summer hours in switch they are open for lunch more days of the week. They have a newer menu. I had the burger and fries. It was delicious. Service was ok. My table was rocked quite a bit. I was offered to be moved to a different table but I stayed. I hope they fix it. Overall this is a must visit restaurant read more

What a hidden jewel! Beautiful location with great seating. Fully stocked bar with cocktails. The service was exceptional. Tried green tomatoes, cauliflower, deviled eggs and loaded fries. All were exceptional and the cauliflower was a surprise. I shared the spare rib, potatoes with mushroom and carrots with my husband. Meat was so tender and great taste. The peanut butter pie to wrap it up was so creamy but not so rich I couldn't have more than one bite. Wilson serves a meal that you won't be making at home! Fantastic! read more

We had no problems with the food it was all really good.The problem we had was when we ordered a bottle of wine to go with dinner and our waitress took forever to find it and then proceeded to bring it to the table already opened and without the cork this is a huge red flag in my book.Our bottle was only $45 but I can only imagine if she'd done that with someone who'd ordered a really expensive bottle. you just need to educate your staff more on this. read more

We have been here twice in the last month, the first time was when we were visiting Arkansas for the first time deciding if we were gonna move here and the second time was after looking at a house after we moved here. This will for sure be the "celebration spot" due to the price of some items but will definitely recommend anyone to try. The food was great and consistent. The service was spot on along with being checked on a proper amount and the decor around the restaurant really reflect the history of the town. Our server was Michelle I believe and she had such a great attitude. 10/10 will for sure be back! read more

Amazing dining experience. The Wilson Cafe is a quaint restaurant, nestled in the heart of town. There service is always great. I had the pleasure to be served by Robin and Taylor. Both were an absolute pleasure. The cauliflower was very good. It has a remoulade sauce drizzled all over and cooked with spices. The mushroom pasta had a nice Parmesan sauce with a variety of mushrooms. The meatloaf was seasoned well and served with mashed potatoes with a sweet sauce for extra flair. The Brussels were an extra side and are served with pork. The Blondie was great! It has pecans and white chocolate. It was warm and served with vanilla ice cream. You could definitely enjoy a lovely meal with great company. It's off the beaten path, but worth the visit! read more

Absolutely worth the drive. The cafe itself is so charming and the staff was friendly and efficient. No one acted like it was a chore to wait on you or that you were inconveniencing them. The menu had an amazing variety of choices. I had the smoked bologna sandwich and my lunch guest had the cheeseburger. Portions were more than adequate. Both were well prepared and presented. Most of all they tasted great! The only drawback was the fries. I'm not a skin-on fry lover and these were especially unappealing to me. The whole town is an absolute gem, and the cafe was clean and well staffed. We will definitely be returning for one of their wine dinners or other events. Bottom line is go! read more

A hidden gem in northeast Arkansas! It was really delightful to find a restaurant with a wide variety of really good food and a solid wine list in this area! As a group of 5 we all ordered different things and every dish was good. Wilson, AR is definitely worth a day trip from the Little Rock area, and stop at the Wilson Cafe! read more

The cost is somewhat prohibitive, and the food lacks flavor and taste. Definitely won't be spending any more money here.

Kicking myself for not trying this place sooner. We are located in Memphis and the drive was about 45 minutes - but WELL worth it. Everything was delicious and the service was fantastic. It's a cute little restaurant with stores around it. You could definitely dress up and make it a date night. We got the baked Brie, spaghetti marinara and lobster ravioli. I cannot wait to come back and try other things. read more

Lisa & I had a fabulous dinner in this very cute town of Wilson, AR. This restaurant was recommended to me from a few people on my Open Table App. I'm so glad Lisa & I took there advice because the menu changes with the seasons. I had their Crop Duster cocktail with asparagus salad for starters. Lisa had the strewberry salsa smoked salmon & I had the braised short ribs with mashed potatoes and green peas.For dessert homemade butter milk pie & I had there piña colada pie and they do not cheat you the servings of their desserts. read more

We had dinner inside, and drinks outside after. read more

This food was just absurdly good. I ordered on a whim the brunch special of a cinnamon roll chicken sandwich and I'm starting to think of ordering another before I've even left.

Total hidden gem! Loved this place. I had the special french toast (I think corn and pecan??) and they were amazing!

Everything was amazing! Dinner and brunch were both wonderful!! Service and ambience are also top notch!!

I have grown up going to the Wilson Cafe over the years and it never disappoints! Tonight my family and I sat in the side party room. The cotton wallpaper is fun & fitting for a town centered around the cotton industry. We had the smoked burrata as an appetizer. Burrata is one of my favorite foods so anytime it is on a menu I order it. This time I was particularly intrigued at it being smoked. It came out covered with a dome top filled with smoke. They uncovered it and the smoke dissipated beautifully You could taste the smoky flavor and it succeeded my expectations. For my entree I had the short rib gnocchi. It was incredible. The short rib was tender and it there was a very generous amount, more than I could finish. The sauce was creamy and flavorful with a variety of of different mushrooms. The soft and pillowy gnocchi and the stringy short rib paired well together. I also had focaccia with honey butter. The honey butter reminded me of my childhood. While most everyone else enjoyed their meal I have to include that my cousin was disappointed in his filet. It was burnt to a crisp on the bottom and lacked seasoning. However, some one else at the table had a ribeye and it was cooked and seasoned excellently. There were also two other filets that were said to be decent. Overall, the food was delicious and met all expectations. Make sure you don't leave without trying the bread pudding! The salty-sweetness melts in your mouth and I love the hint of white chocolate that they add. Finally, the service is wonderful. Our waitresses were very nice, helpful, and timely with checking in. The manager and chef also stopped by our table and were very personable and friendly. If you're ever in Wilson stop by the cafe! It won't disappoint and is a culinarily gem in the middle of the Delta! read more

INCREDIBLE! I sat at the bar for lunch and had a fantastic experience. Despite arriving just a half hour before they closed for lunch, service was welcoming and prompt. On a strong recommendation from a colleague, I got the sweet tea and wasn't disappointed. For my meal, I got the firebird sandwich - it was a perfect blend of sweet, spicy, crispy, tender, and moist. The seasoning on the chicken is out of this world and I will absolutely be taking the time to visit next time I'm in the Memphis area. I was impressed by the value, my lunch came out to $12 after tax, before tip. If you're looking for a great lunch experience, I'd highly recommend visiting!! read more
