Long time local establishment in Springdale with consistently good food and friendly, fast service. Comfort food is on the menu and the desserts are like you'd have at your grandmother's house straight out of the ice. - pies and cakes that are very good. Tonight we have veggie plates and one kid had breakfast for dinner with pancakes and bacon. The other kid had green beans and cheese pizza. I had green beans, seasoned cabbage and turnip greens with white bread! lol The locale is clean and comfortable. read more

If you have the hankering for some comfort food, this is the place for you. Hometown friendly customer service. First time visiting the restaurant, so I went with the combo platter with shrimp, custom made cuts of catfish and chicken. These were delicious! I opted for the green beans and cooked cabbage for my sides. Quick refills on my iced tea. read more

Today, my family and I had breakfast at Wagon Wheel Cafe, and what should have been a normal meal turned into something disgusting. A group of older men repeatedly yelled, "Coons! Coons!" loud enough to scare my daughter and my mother-in-law, who is Black. No family should ever have to experience that. What is just as upsetting is that the owners or staff did nothing. They did not ask these men to leave or make any effort to stop the hateful behavior. Silence in the face of racism sends a message. I'm sharing this to make others aware. If you are a person of color or have loved ones who are, know that this was our experience, and it did not feel like a welcoming or safe place. Racism has no place in our communities, and businesses have a responsibility to stand against it--not ignore it. read more

Service is great with no issues. Friendly and fast. Restaurant decor is typical of something that says, "Wagon Wheel". Food is good, typical of a breakfast joint cafe. I wish the gravy had a bit more flavor, but it is what it is. I would go back. read more

Wagon Wheel Country Cafe - Loaded meat omelette with a biscuit and gravy - Cafes Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

I was in NW Arkansas for a much needed vacation and a friend took me to the Wagon Wheel for lunch. The chicken fried steak meal was the best food I had my whole trip to Arkansas. The mashed potatoes had the potato skins in them so you know they were homemade unlike other restaurants that use instant. The waitress was super friendly and answered all our questions. I will most definitely come back to eat there when I'm back in the area. read more

Super cute local diner. This place is country dining at its finest. We had the burger, steak, sweet potato fries, peach cobbler and deep fried oreos. We loved it all! Service is wonderful and the dining room is clean. 5 stars all day! read more

Wagon Wheel Country Cafe - Peach cobbler - Cafes Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

One o let because you don't have a zero. Waited 30 mins for a to go order after calling the order in.

Although I loved the service and it feels like a wonderful hometown diner, the food did not measure up. The catfish tasted freezer burnt like something you grabbed out of the very back of a grocery store freezer. Nothing tasted homemade and was so disappointing. I hate saying this because it is a Northwest Arkansas institution, but I cannot recommend. read more

We recently visited wagon wheel after a multi-year absence. I had a club sandwich with tater tots and my wife had the senior chicken liver lunch w mashed potatoes and white gravy and onion rings. I'm a sucker for good onion rings so I snuck a we off her plate and they were good - batter was nice and light. She enjoyed her livers and they were meaty! Mashed potatoes and gravy were good also. My club sandwich was good but not outstanding and my tater tots came out at least 5 minutes after the rest of our food arrived. Service was good but we weren't asked if we wanted dessert so that's why these little things made a 4 rating. read more

We have eaten Wagon Wheel a lot the past couple of years, it's always been good food and great service. The only thing I didn't care for was the fish still has the mud line and I can't do that with fish. read more

I swear I like this place better every time I go! Highly recommend their fried green tomatoes! It's an old school, campy, hole-in-the-wall! And I love it! Waitresses hustle and make sure your tea glass stays full! Friendly but they're not chatty (feature, not flaw). Prices are good Specials are always spot on. Especially love it when they have chicken and noodles (dumplings? Whatever - they're the thick noodle style). They have senior specials and LOTS of sides and veggies. Very eclectic mix of options - from salads to baked potatoes, open face hot beef to frog legs. On cold nights they have a REAL fire in the fireplace. They do an excellent job with larger groups and even have a back room (call in advance!) if you do separate billing food may come out staggered but it will be hot so I think that's better than cold or heat lamp dried out like most places do it. So, go, check them out. I'd love to hear what you think of them. read more

Walked in and the sign says "please seat yourself". We sat two tables away from such sign! We sat there and watched two groups come in after us get menus and drinks while we just sat there. One old black and grey haired waitress even said hello and kept on going.. If you don't sit in front of the register you'll not be seen! We walked out like ghosts! Never to return It's an old run down greasy spoon, goto Wrights BBQ instead, you'll be happy you did! read more

Good food for sure, service was fast and friendly, no flare but delicious and quick. We will be back.

Talk about a fantastic find........this place is awesome! If your expectation is fancy, keep looking. If your expectation is a great meal at a very reasonable price, check this place out. Took the wife there for breakfast yesterday, and fantastic is the only way to describe it. My wife ordered the breakfast burrito, which was huge. Much unlike other places, there was sausage in every single bite she took, and it was cooked to perfection. I ordered the meat lover's omelet, which was the best I have had in quite some time. Biscuits were some of the best in NW Arkansas, but the gravy needed some salt. We're definitely going to try this place again....... read more

Wagon Wheel is very very good. The staff is great. Brian and Michelle are the best. If you want the best pie it's the place to go.

Service was slow, people arriving after us received their food orders after us even though our orders were taken first. Had to keep asking for coffee refills, which took a long time and still didn't happen until waitress dealt with her momma issue. read more

We are Wednesday lunch regulars and realized I had never left a review! If you like down-home, not fancy, really good food, this is the place. I can honestly say that my wife and I have never had a disappointing meal here. She is a picky grilled chicken sandwich connoisseur, and they always get it right. I usually go with the lunch specials but can vouch for the patty melt, Reuban, meatloaf, country fried chicken breast, and chicken livers - you get the picture, everything is just plain good. The service is always super friendly, just don't expect fancy. read more

They were very busy, and the service was somewhat slow but again they were very busy. They were very nice. Love the ambiance, like an old store/shop. I did have to ask for a tea refill. Food finally arrived and it was great. I do recommend but make sure you are not in a hurry if they are busy. read more

I love the country cooking atmosphere. We enjoyed the food and our waitress was great.

I am soooooo glad they have a new 5 year lease! This place is a treasure! Downhome cooking that is consistently good. The pies are just like Gramdma (& Mom) used to make. The waitstaff always make you feel like you are part of the family. The vintage interior is campy, don't let it dissuade you, it's all good! read more

Great food and service. Really good Atmosphere. Always my go to for breakfast and lunch.

Really good home cooking, this place hits the nail on the head. They offer daily specials or a variety of southern staples on the regular menu. Prices are affordable and portions are large. I ordered a fried chicken sandwich and it hit the spot. You can sub fries for sweet potato fries, tots, or sweet potato tots. How amazing! Food came out hot and fresh. Ordered desserts which were delicious as well. I wish this place was closer to my house, I'd be there all the time! read more

First time visiting this restaurant. Nice and cozy, good portions with good prices. Very friendly staff. The food was great. I had the most tender gizzards I've ever had. The cabbage and okra were a plus. Would probably come back if I'm ever in that area again. read more

The sausage I couldn't even eat a full patty it tasted bad. Frozen I am assuming. Eggs were bland. Hashbrowns weren't good. I would not go back here to have breakfast. I no longer have the photo of the food. I may give it another chance in the future. Service was fair and food came out quick. They do however have great dinner options. read more

Great country cooking in a relaxed atmosphere. Food is consistently good and service is great. One of two non-chain restaurants left with this sort of food. read more

Food is good country food. Waitresses were very attentive. Place looks small but has multiple rooms.

We were looking for a home cooked meal and found this place I was impressed with it open face roast beef was delicious chicken fried steak was good and the hamburger steak was also good I would recommend this place if you're looking for a home cooked dinner read more

I gave this place 4 stars because of my salad. Everything else was great. I had the open faced turkey sandwich with mashed potatoes and a dinner salad. My salad was much to be desired. It was wilted and old looking. And the thousand island dressing tasted weird. But the rest of it was good. My husband had the catfish PoBoy which he said was good. My oldest had the kids pepperoni pizza and onion rings. The onion rings tasted amazing. Probably the best I'd ever had. My youngest had a hamburger and fries. Everyone liked their meals. Our waitress was very nice. And pregnant. I give her major props for working a job where you are on your feet all day while pregnant. The restaurant was cute. Kinda like a hole in the wall. Which are usually the best kind. All in all it was a good experience. And we plan on going back. read more

Delish country cooking! Parking is packed come noon, but let the first wave go and you will be in for a treat. The veggie plate with pinto beans and ham, turnip greens swimming in pot liqueur and vinegar, along with fresh cornbread did the trick. The chocolate pecan pie with ice cream... well what do you say about something at good as that? read more

Wagon Wheel Country Cafe - Pinto beans, turnip greens and corn bread. One of the south's most heavenly meals. - Cafes Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

We had great service! Good home style cooking! All of enjoyed our meals. Our server Julie was great and took great care of us. Good sized menu and dining area is reminiscent of old diners. Some might consider it dated but it was kind of neat! read more

Great home styled food quality while being relatively inexpensive. I went with some family and we tried: the fried green tomatoes, shrimp, chicken tenders, and loaded chili pie. You get quite the serving for what your order from the menu, so definitely show up hungry! I had the loaded chili pie, and it was enormous! Everyone really enjoyed their meals, but couldn't finish them due to being full and quite happy. I definitely recommend giving this a try when you're in the mood for comfort food, as you won't be let down. The staff is also friendly, which absolutely helps the overall experience. read more

Wagon Wheel Country Cafe - Fried Green Tomatoes - Cafes Near Me - Springdale, Arkansas

This place is a very direct, no nonsense eatery. They serve very traditional home cooked country food that reminded me back home which does not make sense since I grew up in some third world Asian country. Nonetheless, it gave me the image of the Pioneer woman cooking a meal for me using her trusty iron skillet and lots of cooking oil and possibly a tub of butter. I got chicken fried steak here. It was nothing spectacular. I would rather get the chicken fried steak from Chili's. At least, theirs is as big as a hub cap (this was 10 yrs ago. Maybe they changed already). But, what I should have gotten here was their fried chicken. Thank goodness my GF ordered it. If you are a fan of ChickfilA you should get their fried chicken since they tasted similar, but I like Wagon Wheels' better. My GF even had a great idea. She placed one of the chicken breast between the dinner roll. It was just heavenly. I was sad that I ordered the wrong thing. I was jealous of the wise choice that my GF just made. So, the next time that we eat here, I will surely get their fried chicken. read more

Updating my review because several things have changed since my first one 3 years ago! They now have free WiFi, delivery through Door Dash, and offer a military discount! The food is still solid as always. I see a lot of the same waitstaff from the first time I ate here. Breakfast isn't 24/7- they stop at 10:45a. If you only look at the menu on here, you won't see all the daily specials that are written on a chalkboard hanging outside the kitchen- everything from lasagna, chicken pot pie, po boys, chicken salad, etc. You seat yourself & pay at the counter. Breakfast is a steal! read more

Felt like a corny family fun restaurant, the cheeseburger tasted like it was made at a backyard grill, and I could've done better myself. Overall, I would give three-point-five stars, but I can't. read more
