Had the belt buster, fried eggs, hasbrowns, sausage gravy, and biscuits. Got the 1/2 order. Good, but I had eggshells. Also ordered the morning special, bacon, 2 eggs, hasbrowns, and choice of pancake, which I got, biscuits and gravy, or toast. Good, but I missed a little flavor. Pancake was like a sponge texture and very good .

My wife and I stopped here for dinner. We were a little skeptical about trying a little roadside diner. Boy are we glad we stopped, and ate. The waitress was very friendly and gave us suggestions on what to order. I ordered the chicken fried steak sandwich, and my wife ordered the crispy chicken sandwich. Our food came out fairly quick. The CFS sandwich was huge, and hand breaded, and it was one of the best ones I have ever eaten. The bun was so fresh, they must make them in house. The chicken sandwich was hand breaded, and it was a good portion, and It was served on the same fresh bun. Definitely a must stop if you are in the area of Magazine AR.

The waitress was extremely slow. We had to keep turning around to see if she was going to help us. We almost walked out. Finally, took our drink order, and took forever to take our order only two tables were occupied at the time. Then he asked for a refill on a glass of tea that was sitting on the edge of the table for 10-15 minutes, I finally had to get her attention and ask for it. Food on the other hand was good.

Always good food. Homemade. Country diner with friendly staff. Chicken fried steak is great. Picture is of “patty melt”. Not traditional but very good. Chicken strip, cheeseburgers and onion rings are great also.

This is a classic roadside diner that is a welcome sight to the tried driver. We enjoyed breakfast there and were still in the area at dinner time. The place is family friendly and the food is made with love. Anyone staying the Mount Magazine area should visit and eat here.

Great food, great service! Best fried pickles!! Try anything with a star icon. I had the patty melt, fried okra, fried pickles and a sweet tea.

I’ve reviewed this place before and the food was great…however, today we had lunch there…imagine my shock when the meal was almost double what it used to be only a few weeks ago. The menu states one price, so when you ask why the price was different from the menu…you get a finger pointed at a tiny little sticker on the front of the menu that says prices subject to change at owner’s discretion. Soooo…I feel cheated and I will not be back. Attitude of the servers, the lack of following HACIP guide lines and sketchy prices…yea…nope

Another excellent lunch with great service! Had the tater tots last time; the French fries are better!

Very disappointed. The last 3 times I’ve eaten here with my family it’s taken almost an hour to get our food. I’d be understanding if it were totally packed but it hasn’t really even been busy. Today I watched someone come in and order 2 of the exact same entrées we ordered and get their food in 20 min. We had just waited 53 min., yes I timed it, for the same food. My food however was cold when it made it to my table. This place use to be super speedy and always so good. Our family tries to shop local and support local businesses as much as possible but it’s hard to keep giving a place more chances when it just keeps getting worse and worse.

This is a hidden gem. The food is amazing and the portions are obseardly large. You will love this little hole in the wall eatery, and once you eat there, you won’t mind going out of your way just to grab a bite. The staff is attentive and friendly. They will make you feel like you’re eating at your families house. It is clean and well managed; don’t miss out on your new favorite place to eat.
