Educational, fun, beautiful, cutest little shop, and a small dinner on the top floor! The goats are a must, and the bathrooms are outside. Not very ADA friendly so be mindful when planning a trip to see it. Go over the bridge so you can see the full experience! And the soft caramels are delicious.

How long can you hold your breath while you are peeing? No, seriously, how long? It is all about the drive not the destination. Whether you come in from the north or south, if you are a biker or sports car enthusiast, you will enjoy the winding curves. As a bonus the scenery is amazing. Right now, after all the rain the Arkansas hills are lush, green and decorated with Ozark life, past and present. Rusty trucks, tractors, chickens and ducks. Big red barns, fields of hay, cows and white tail bucks. Pristine streams, roadside fruit stands, rickety old bridges and littered road sides, where lazy folks dump their broken washers and fridges. And then you arrive at the famous, but disappointing War Eagle Mill. A three-story hull of an old grist mill that has been gutted of all of the historical significance. Not a visible grind stone spinning. No bolter, screens, chutes or hoppers. All gone. On the top floor beans and cornbread for sale. The second floor, candy and the first-floor souvenirs for the tourist. Lots of stuff, much having nothing to do with the historical mill. On the first floor is a modern corn grinder, that may be powered by the still turning water wheel. That's it, that's the mill. The mill is very well known for its annual craft fair. I am not sure how they handle all of the people. And that brings us back to the strange question. How long can you hold your breath while peeing? Unless you are a very experienced Japanese pearl diver the answer is, "not long enough." For your convenience and relief, at the gravel parking area there is a homemade outhouse, a pit toilet. It is a very poorly designed outhouse pit toilet. In the 90-degree temp today it was the worst, most rank, malodorous steaming closet I have ever used. The flies that were lured into the outhouse in hopes for a tasty meal, misjudged the conditions. They couldn't take it either. Hundreds were lined up on the inside of the outhouse door, desperately waiting to escape when the door was opened. Hold your breath and try to keep that beans and corn bread from spewing out through your nose. If you are going, start practice holding your breath now. And....Remember it's the drive not the destination.

Very cool site, very historic. They gift shop has a lot of old gifts and and the store is nostalgic.

If you are ever in the area or even remotely close to the area, check out this operational mill. It is a great place to take a break from the road and sit back and enjoy the atmosphere. The working mill and gift shop are on the lower floor where the upper floor serves home style lunch. The views here were amazing.

First time in Arizona? I got you. Cross the bridge. Make sure no one else is driving through. Wifi might drop while you cross the bridge and will resume once you leave and make the turn back out. The cafe Check the time as they stop serving cornbread once the cafe closes. It's definitely worth going to. The shop is quiet small so don't expect a lot inside. I went 50 minutes before closing and the ladies closed the shop 20 minutes before it closed. Be mindful of that.

Drove out for breakfast from Eureka Springs to find out very little to purchase, store almost empty and doesn't serve food any longer. Sad to see this place go downhill from the bustling business it once was especially with the War Eagle Fair next weekend. Do not recommend.

What a cool place! We stopped by after visiting the War Eagle Cavern and so glad we did. It's a beautiful and quite place to relax and have lunch. I had the daily special with chicken fried chicken, Mac and cheese, mashed potatoes and a biscuit. Yum!

Cafe at the mill

Restaurant is open 7 days a week even for breakfast in July 2024. The new windows overlooking the bridge are great!

Finally made it here to eat, I have shopped here and been here to take pictures but have never eaten. Up on the 3rd floor of the mill, it is an open restaurant with a country charm feel. We were greeted quickly and took our drink order. The menu is very simple for lunch, 3 sandwich options and a few salads and soups. I had the turkey club with potato salad. The wheat bread was very fresh and excellent flavor. The meats were very good as well. The potato salad was very good. We also had the peach cobbler and it was very good, not overly sweet. Price and service was good.

See all
