The menu includes a great variety of different items. The soup of the day was a green chili chicken stew that sounded too good to pass on, so I ordered that along with a side of Gouda grits and a side of sautéed green beans. The grits were delicious! The green beans were very good; and the soup was good. My wife ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with sweet potato criss-cut fries. The fries were bomb! The sandwich was okay, she was trying to figure out what was missing. On the way home she realized it was missing cheese. A cheesesteak without cheese?!?! Service was very good. Our server was attentive without being overbearing. This bistro is not cheap by any stretch, but it is good and I'm sure we'll return.

Growing up in Pea Ridge, I've heard of the illustrious Blackwater Bistro my whole childhood. This…read morewas the fancy place in town to go to if you had a hot date, or for before you go to prom. I never made it out, though, until I moved away, got a job, and then came back to visit recently. I went out to explore downtown Milton some, checked out Blackwater State Park, and got hungry and decided to finally come check this place out for lunch. So we drove up, got a table, and started browsing the pamphlet they gave us of the history of the building. It was a quaint little read. The restaurant is in an old house that had many different lives over the course of its existence. It was wooden, comfortable, had a nice bar built into it. Very cozy and rustically upscale. The service was also very good. A nice lady that tended to all of our drink needs. Very pleasant. And the food came out in a timely fashion. As for the food, we started with the The Sampler (A mixture of our house favorites: Artichoke cheesecake, Baguette, Loaded Brussel Sprouts with Shrimp, Coconut Shrimp with Mango Chutney). This was nice. I love a good savory cheesecake, you don't see that very often. It was very interesting loading the sprouts with shrimp, but I've never said no to a shrimp. And the coconut shrimp were pretty standard. It was a good plate, but not mind-blowing, if you wanna try a different app. My main was the Creole Crawfish & Andouille Pot Pie (Louisiana Crawfish, Savory Vegetables, Andouille, Cajun Cheese Cream, Puff Pastry). This is a loose-leaf pot pie. So basically a gumbo with a puffy piece of puff pastry on top. So it's a lot of fun, but don't expect a lot of crust with each bite. Super creamy, super Cajun in the seasoning, no regrets getting this. I also got to try the The Blue Salad (Filet of Beef. Signature Assorted Lettuce, Tomato, Red Onion, Cucumber, Bleu Cheese, Balsamic Vinaigrette, Candied Pecans, Bleu Cheese Dressing). This was a good salad! Nice and tender strips of filet, funky bleu cheese, sweet and crunchy pecans. I love a nice interesting salad like this. Nothing boring involved. And a ton of that delicious dressing. Overall, the Bistro was well worth the wait. Good vibes, good food. I'd come back.

This place is next to a motel (Blackwater Inn) and otherwise not much around it, but I'd recommend going out of your way to find the Cafe and have a good meal.

This is one of those places that everyone seems to know each other and if they don't know you the service is not the same. Food was just ok. Nothing to brag about. 3 of us for $50 lunch for being a casual place. Nothing fancy. They have been there for awhile and they close early. All 3 of us agreed we would not go back. A piece of peanut butter pie $5.75 and it was a small piece with a couple of squirts of whipped cream if you even want to say a couple. We got it to go for my Dad and I was shocked they could charge that much. They stop serving breakfast and do just a lunch menu even though they close early, we probably would have enjoyed the breakfast more maybe. Definitely not a fan of this place. Food was nothing special.

The service and attention to detail pleased all of our guests and owner, Scott, delivered and prepared everything perfectly. First party was a younger crowd and they enjoyed the Taco Bar, the lasagna and charcuterie. Second party was for our retired or mostly retired friends and we loved the Oysters Rockefeller, shrimp cocktail, more lasagna, and Spinach and artichoke dip! It was nice not to have to worry about cooking and I was able to relax and enjoy the party rather than being tied to the kitchen! Scott was great working with my dietary restriction too. He even made me a separate batch of Oysters that were yummy and keto! Plenty of leftovers and everyone was happy to take them home.

The decor was neat, with lots of airplane and flying memorabilia. I would definitely say check them out if you're looking for a good meal with a decent price prices and friendly service!

They also have daily specials for around $11. The meatloaf on Tuesday is a favorite. Service was good. Fast and attentive. The restaurant appears to be in an old house.

They all come on a flight board that looks like a postage stamp (again brilliant). It seemed like a fun place that I would frequent if I lived nearby. They had a bunch of pinball machines, video games and pool tables. I didn't try the food but maybe next time.

The staff is very friendly and happy to answer any questions you have. You can get breakfast platters, loaded burritos, biscuits and gravy, etc. The prices are the typical government subsidizes amounts. Their hours are from 6AM-7PM so if you're going to be waiting a long time for a flight or something, then you'll have a joint to grab a bite if you don't want to head to the subway or the golf course across base. One of my favorites to order here: Philly Cheesesteak with seasoned curly fries You won't be disappointed.
