Nice casual dining. Our server was very friendly and made recommendations for us. We started with a small Diable dip and chips and shared between the three of us. For my dinner I had the Texas Rodeo burger. Over all it was a tasty burger and I enjoyed the fried jalapeños to dress it read more

A really cool, old school vibe. The wood decoration and the connection to the antique shop is a fun touch. The food isn't terrible. The burgers are solid, and the service is good. There's not much in Camden so this place is one of the better places to grab a bite to eat. But in a more populated area, there's nothing that would make this place stand out. The portion on the plate was a little disappointing as they don't really hook you up with fries. read more

A go to for our family. Dine in or carry out it's always good. Great food. Located downtown.

Absolutely love this place! Great atmosphere and great food! Service is always wonderful! Their Fried pickles are the best!

Fantastic food! Truly, I thoroughly enjoyed my sandwich. The service was great and the staff was very friendly. This will definitely be a required stop every time I am in town. read more

This place was adorable. It had cute decor. The size of the portions was great and the prices were good. The food was bland. I was really surprised because it was a little mom and pop and usually their flavor is on point with southern cooking. I had the chicken fried chicken with fried okra and mashed potatoes and gravy, my friends had the half plate of nachos, and smothered chicken with mashed potatoes and gravy. Everyone really agreed that the food was lacking in seasoning and flavor, usually it is hard to gauge with me because I love spice. The best thing is was the pineapple upside down cake I got for desert. It was sweet and amazing. The to go cups were huge. Overall, great service and portions but they need to be a little heavier with seasonings. read more

It's great definitely not a waste of money I would recommend trying the almost famous nachos

This place is very good!! I'll admit my expectations were low (considering i'm from los angeles & this place is in the middle of nowhere to me) and i was very happy to find it was clean and delicious! I ordered the chicken jack sandwich with fries (which i definitely recommend cuz bacon) and it was a generous portion and the chicken was cooked perfectly and not dry! The drinks are also big! The menu has a wide range of mexican..tex-mex? food. I don't really eat that so i cant speak to it except to say i would recommend trying it if you do. My mom had the quesadillas & she said they were very tasty. Everything comes hot. Chris, our waiter, was extremely nice & efficient. The bathrooms are good too, and prices are reasonable. I cant say if i'd come back (since it's a tad bit far from california) but if i found myself here again i would be happy! read more

Atmosphere is wonderful - has the look and vibe of something I'd expect to find in some of the upper middle class eatery/shopping districts of Dallas, Fort Worth, Memphis, etc. ('Whoever designed your interior did a fantastic job. My only concern: you might have overshot your local target market a bit.) The menu offers plenty of delicious options at reasonable prices for the local economy. Service is fast - but not rushed, knowledgeable, very friendly, and attentive. Our waitress was great. If Camden's overall attitude toward making itself into a truly great, prosperous, family-oriented place to live with plenty to do and a good standard of living was as good as What's Cooking's is toward its patron and how it conducts business, Camden would be on its way into the stratosphere. I'm a former marketing professor (Colo State U) and consultant to many small businesses and other organizations. I am extremely impressed with this gem of a restaurant! What's Cooking definitely has the right recipe for Camden's as well as its own success. We will eat at WC frequently! - J. Cook read more

Let's start with walking in. Please Wait to be Seated is what the sign reads but truly what they want you to do. Wait. If there is someone assigned to seat people, who knows because waiters and waitresses just kept walking by as if we weren't there. Then what I believe to be the owner walk over to chat with some older men just looked at us and kept running his mouth asking nonsense questions. After our waiting period is over, there is another long wait period at the table while we sitting. The four of us spent 20 minutes in this restaurant and only made it to a table to receive No Service and you only had about four other customers. Message to owner: get your priorities together. This is not how you run a business. We left because no service will always be bad service. read more

The food was yummy and didn't have to wait long.. the waitress was friendly and attentive... Great place to eat read more

Anytime I want a good enchilada or quesadillas, this is the place I want to go! I always do my mindful comparisons when I'm taken some place else, and I'm always disappointed in the other places. I gave White House their true review, and I praised your place in the review! Haha! Oh I didn't want to go to White House, my son's dad did. Ugh! I'll never be forced to go there again. read more

Excellent food and service! Probably the best ranch I've ever had. The atmosphere is wonderful and welcoming.

First trip is my last trip. We didn't stay. 10 Minutes is and 1 server who thought he was too cool rushing by to say I haven't forgotten you. If the place was full or he was the only server - maybe I buy that. But not with 6 severs and a 30% full place. I know it's Camden and options are limited, but that level of unresponsive behavior needs to be rewarded with an Out Of Business Sign. read more

Friendly staff and service as always... Ordered and received our meal in a decent time. Waitress made sure we were taken care of... read more

We both had chicken fried steak. It was very good. Came with the usual; a side salad, bread and one side. We had the Fried Onion Strings as an appetizer, they were very undercooked but, the southwest sauce was delicious. read more

Let me start out by saying the waitress I had was so sweet and nice and soft spoken. They turn around was really good. The fried were cooked perfectly. The only bad thing I can say is the philly steak sandwich which was cooked perfectly had no flavor. read more

First time we went for lunch it was really good was very impressed then we went for dinner so disappointed my husband steak was chewy and hard and was just bits of fat made chicken fried steak was also hard and chewy to eat a girl from Texas loves chicken fried steak y'all ruined it no flavor it Blan where is waitress ever she was so rude she didn't seem to care about us because we wasn't regulars read more

The shrimp po'boy with their zing zany sauce is HUGE! And delicious! Love the texicana salad and the diablo dip! The atmosphere is super cool with tons of memorabilia from the ages! read more

I love all their breakfast menu. The catfish dinner is very good also. And the staff is very good workers

Loved this place in downtown Camden. Lots of memorabilia of Grapette soda. I didn't know what it was so I Googled it and learned all about the local history Of this drink! The food was great. I had a club sandwich. They didn't "fancy it up" so it was a really good old fashioned club. My husband had chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes, cream gravy, and fried okra. All were really good - my husband commented on the light breading on his steak. The portions were really large-he couldn't finish it. The service was excellent and we were sent on our way with drinks to go. read more

I cannot say enough about this restaurant. The hamburgers are out of this world. Juicy done to perfection and the toppings are fresh and perfect. I have tried the fried pickles and it was my first time. Oh oh oh! Soooo good. The service is amazing and the people are so nice. Your seated quickly. The wait staff seems to know exactly when to show up at your table without being intrusive and they really like the food they serve. Make it a place to check out. read more

I live their grill chicken salad in the taco shell. They also have great bow-tie chicken pasta!! We go there a lot!!

After reading the reviews I decided to try this restaurant. I'm from out of town and I use reviews to help me choose where to eat lunch. Since it had a very good rating I thought I would give it a try but after the fourth try I will not return. I will eat most anything but not this anymore. The three burgers I tried were over cooked and dry. The fries were fair. Don't try the potato nachos. Horrible. There was 6 in my group the last time I ate there. All 6 of us were very disappointed and I was the one that suggested we give it another try. Never again. read more

My family and I love eating here! The food here is so good especially their fajitas! They taste better than the local Mexican restaurants. We have allot of family get-togethers here and I haven't heard anyone complain about the food yet! We love to look at all the Lego creations on display and we always look forward to coming back! read more

My favorite is the chicken quesadilla with honey mustard dipping sauce. The prices are to high but one of my must haves when I'm in town.

One of the BEST places to eat in town!!! Always hot!!! Friendly service!!! It's a must to eat at in Camden!!!

The food is super good and staff is really nice they also sponsor Boys and Girls club

Awesome place to eat. The service is always great here. The price is very reasonable as well. You won't be disappointed here.

Nachos were burnt. Very little meat. Mostly lettuce and beans. Should jave stick with the basics. Burgers/ sandwiches at the table looked good. Next time ill stick to that and skip the mexican dishes. read more

A solidly pleasant meal. Good offerings, an interesting mix of items, and pretty darn good salads make this one of the better options in the booming metropolis of Camden. Of course, that by itself isn't saying much; a bit like being the best ice carver in Key Largo. But the food is good despite the easy competition. Not quite on Postmasters level, but then neither is the price point. The only real drawbacks are the hours; they close at 8 pm, except on Sundays and Mondays. Then they're just not open at all. Seriously, what is the deal with Camden and the good restaurants being closed on Mondays? This quirk has now puzzled me for several years. But I digress. read more

Great place to go for lunch or dinner, great friendly service, and a really wide variety of food to choose from. Portions are also great. Best club sandwich in Arkansas, and the fajita baked potato is good too. One thing I'll say for them: usually when you have a massive menu that covers so much ground it's hard to pull off well without some items suffering for it but they do it really well. Good selection of beer and wine too, except they don't carry a cider and that's probably my only complaint but I say that about every restaurant around here lol. Definitely a place to try while in Camden. read more

Have eaten there approximately 6 times over the years when I visit Camden and it's the only place I will eat. Great food, fast and courteous staff and clean. Wish we had this place in the small town where I live, cause I'd eat there every day. Keep up the good work!! read more

I've been going to What's Cookin' since they opened and service has always been consistent and wonderful. My personal favorite menu item are the chicken quesadillas and I've never been disappointed. The atmosphere is great and the pricing is perfect. read more
